TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

How much is a 'pound'?

[fullgauntlet]

About 453.592 grams?

[emet_sulk]

No, that isn't what I meant, boy.

Some of us do not use whatever unit of measurement these 'pounds' and 'grams' are.

[fullgauntlet]

Ah-

How about... a comparison? If I need to I could lift... Several steel beams?

[emet_sulk]

[ Oh, so a 'pound' seems similar to a ponze, then. Interesting. ]

I see. I suppose that isn't entirely out of the question.

I shall guess the second statement as the lie.

[fullgauntlet]

Ahh... I think I might be a bad liar because that's right. My hair is naturally green.

[He's bad at this game!!]

[emet_sulk]

Boy, I don't think anyone who has seen you in person would believe your hair to be unnatural.

[fullgauntlet]

Oh. Really...? I guess not. There are a lot of other people with different hair here as well. Now that I think about it...

[emet_sulk]

It certainly wouldn't be unusual on my star. Is it not usual on yours?

[fullgauntlet]

Ah, you're right. It can be a natural hair colour in my world. Not just in my family.

I guess I was thinking it might catch some people off guard only because something like green or another colour of hair is usually reserved for main characters in stories and comic books. So I thought that maybe in another world it would be the same.

[emet_sulk]

I beg your pardon?

You think that coloured hair is a property of...fictional characters alone?

[fullgauntlet]

Well. Erm. Sort of?

I mean in a way that most mangaka would create brightly coloured hair to distinguish them from the other background characters. It's fairly common in manga.

That's all...

[emet_sulk]

[ Izuku, please. ]

I don't know what this 'manga' is but I presume it is some manner of illustration.

Now I have to wonder what hair colour these illustrators find unusual enough in your world to use for a protagonist.

[fullgauntlet]

Ah, yes. It's a novel of illustrations telling a story.

Hmm... Maybe rainbow hair.

[emet_sulk]

Rainbow hair? Now that would be garish. I cannot argue that it wouldn't be eye-catching however.

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku laughs a bit.]

It's true... At least there aren't people with rainbow hair, naturally.
