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.

SCREECHES IN HERE

[empyrean_mirror]

why is this automatically MY fault

[Besides the fact it absolutely is]

don't be so growly, heizou's fine

[indispensable]

Given where we are, the list of people who would be willing to bring me up in the context of any conversation is unsurprisingly little.

[More like just one, but that's neither here nor there.]

Is he a new arrival? [The ID isn't familiar after all, and he know that Kaveh's always on the lookout for anyone else from Teyvat.]

[empyrean_mirror]

from Inazuma, yes.

[Which should explain enough.]

You don't know, it could have been Cid or Lyney!

[indispensable]

That only counts if I am talking to either of them right now, which I am not.

[Pause. And then:]

Inazuma is new.

[empyrean_mirror]

A remarkable break from pattern, isn't it? I really do wonder what triggers the fall into the rifts.

[He is refusing to dignify the other part of this conversation with a response.]

Either way, he's fine. He's a detective, and well-read. You'll like him, once you're done getting huffy at him for information you put on the network.

[indispensable]

We'll see about that.

Also, he is not merely responding to information that I alone have given.

[Are we going to ignore all the context that Kaveh has apparently given him to make his conclusion hello.]

[empyrean_mirror]

...I don't think I said anything about our relationship besides we've known each other since school?

[Oh Kaveh you gave so much more away.]

[indispensable]

Evidently he got something much more than that.

[Alhaitham has no reason to doubt Kaveh on his word. He more or less knows the usual things that tend to be said anyway thanks to Cyno and Tighnari. But still—]

Might be wise to double check everything that you say next time instead of blurting out the first thought that comes to your mind.

[That's how people keep taking advantage of you!!]

[empyrean_mirror]

I do NOT just blurt out the first thing on my mind! You're just too reticent!

[indispensable]

Oh? Name one time where that has been the case, then.

[empyrean_mirror]

If you can name a single time you've made any attempt to be friendly.

The Traveler doesn't count, they're friends with all of Teyvat.

[indispensable]

[Well that's an easy question to answer.]

Lord Kusanali.

[empyrean_mirror]

[ give him a minute. give him a fucking minute. that answer's too goddamn cute. fuck. fucking shit. his heart. his fucking HEART-- ]

And I've never blurted out anything impulsive to Freminet.

Check.

[indispensable]

He's 14.

[Alhaitham the Dendro Archon looks no older than ten this is not an effective counterargument.]

[empyrean_mirror]

the age of the other participants was not specified as a criteria so your rebuttal is invalid.

[indispensable]

It's not a rebuttal, I was simply pointing out the flaw in your argument.

[It is totally a rebuttal.]

[empyrean_mirror]

re·but·tal
/rəˈbədl/
noun
a refutation or contradiction.

don't make me do your job for you, haravatat.

[indispensable]

But you're doing it so well. Is this a sign that you're exchanging your title of 'Light of ‎Kshahrewar' to 'Light of Haravatat'?

[empyrean_mirror]

I don't know, are you finally going to turn your mind to the betterment of humankind?

[indispensable]

I don't know, are you going to answer my question instead of deflecting it with a poorer one?

[empyrean_mirror]

I have answered your question. You're the one going on tangents because you hate being wrong.

[indispensable]

May I remind you who is the one who butted into this conversation first?

[empyrean_mirror]

You are frowning at your phone directly above my head of course I was going to look

also don't change the subject because I'm right!

[indispensable]

You could have just asked instead of going through the trouble of leaving a message here.

[He'd give you a bonk but both his hands and arms are occupied with phone and Kaveh, so.]

[that's it he's sticking his cold feet on your knees.]
