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.

[It's okay, he knows he looks kinda frumpy.]

Ahah, sorry! That's not the right answer either! I can lift around that much, these days...

[catsgothistongue]

Damn. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised though. You look scrawny and unassuming, but I could tell you've got serious training and fighting experience under your belt. Remind me to challenge you to an arm-wrestling contest sometime!

[Glad to know someone else here can lift.]

I probably should've figured your hair's actually green, it should've been obvious in hindsight.

[fullgauntlet]

I'm not sure if I should be saying thank you or I'm sorry...

[Thanks for that weird compliment, Ranma.]

But I was kind of hoping that I would win at least a few times with that lie. I thought my answers were a little too easy at first. I'm glad I got it once with you!

[catsgothistongue]

What for? I'm just saying your pathetic looking face and body can be a useful tool against people who'll underestimate you.

[You're welcome.]

Yeah yeah, pat yourself on the back. [He's not sulking! You're sulking!] You just got lucky with me, that's all!

[Okay, he is sulking.]

[fullgauntlet]

[... Sweatdrops. Luckily he's had experience with Katsuki talking to him like this his entire life so he knows that Ranma means well with that comment. Probably.]

I guess that would be one way to look at it. Although, I've never had to use my looks in that way before?

But don't worry, Saotome-san, it's just a silly game!

[catsgothistongue]

[Twinsies! Only replace childhood best friend with father.]

It's easy once you find the right suckers who'd fall for it. I do it all the time with my curse. Usually with food vendors and stuff.

[Ranma using your looks to get free food is different than deceiving dangerous foes into thinking you're harmless.]

I guess...

[Ignore his pouting Izuku, he's just being salty.]

[fullgauntlet]

Ahh... Wait, you use your curse to get food from vendors? Saotome-san, that's not very honest...

[Have a gentle scold.]

[catsgothistongue]

Sometimes a guy's gotta eat, Izuku. It isn't my fault they can't stop a cute girl from sweet talking them into giving her free food or buying stuff for her. Besides, I'm perfectly honest while doing it. The occasional mention of leaving my wallet at home isn't a lie. :P

[fullgauntlet]

But that is still taking advantage of someone... The next time you're hungry but you don't have enough money for it, I'll buy you some food, ne?

[catsgothistongue]

[He'd argue that if they're giving it away for free, it isn't really taking advantage of them. But since he actually likes Izuku, he'll chalk it up to agree to disagree.]

If it'll knock you off your soapbox some, I only do that when I gotta save money, or flat broke, and only ever go out to eat for special occasions or for something quick or when I don't wanna cook. It's not like I do it every day. Heck, I haven't even done it here!

[Feel free to doubt him though.] But if you're actually offering, I'm not gonna turn it down. Thanks dude!

[fullgauntlet]

Those might be legitimate reasons but I still don't want to see a friend have to use something like a gender curse to ask people for food, Saotome-kun. I don't think that's fair on both sides.

[He's just too much of a goody-two-shoes. He has to say it. He cares.]

I do mean it, though. If you're ever in a situation like that, I'll buy you some food. Please just ask me!

[That way Ranma isn't swindling people out of their money and getting free food- Wait a minute...]

[catsgothistongue]

... Huh. Would've thought you'd go on a giant spiel focusing solely on 'that's bad Ranma, don't do that yadda yadda'.

[Usually when he does something wrong, or even when he doesn't, people tend to hold all accountability solely on him. Kind of refreshing to have someone see both sides.]

Will do. I owe ya' though.

[Sucker! :P]

[fullgauntlet]

It's only because I know you don't need to do something like that, Saotome-kun.

[He knows Ranma can be better!! And people can be better too.]

You don't have to owe me anything.

[He is a sucker. But he just honestly cares uwu...]

🎀?

[catsgothistongue]

I don't like leaving favors unpaid, but alright. I'll let you know if I need you.

[Pure bean Izuwuku.]

🎀

[fullgauntlet]

Okay. Thank you, Saotome-kun.

[His duty as a ship captain. Or something!]
