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.

[Bringing up the memory causes Denji to grimace behind the shellphone, thankful the video wasn't being cast right about now as he gives his response.]

Thanks...My pet and best friend Pochita gave his life to save mine after that asshole zombie devil's braindead slaves sliced us both up good.

Don't really know honestly but Miss Makima called me a "hybrid" so I guess that makes me half human, half devil I guess?

[ 'Zombie devil' sounds like a number of things she's seen before. ]

Of course, even devils can love.

Still, such open claims regarding your source of power may leave some anxious, or worse. I would be more cautious with whom to share such knowledge, were I in a similar position.

Is this Miss Makima here with you?

Well I'm not really a devil I can just transform into one, kinda. I'm still me, still Denji.

I'm not worried about people knowing what I am never stopped me before won't stop me now! And I wish Miss Makima was here but naw its just me as far as I know from back home here.

Whatever you may call yourself, it is beyond human. Better to accept the monster, if you mean to make it known.

Only, you seem quite young. How old were you when your fate shifted so?

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-03-09 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
No worries there! I know what I am and wouldn't be where I am today if I wasn't so special, Miss Makima would have no use for me otherwise as much as that sucks to say out loud.

Uh, lemme think my birthday just passed a couple weeks ago when I first arrived here so that makes me 17, I think? So I guess when I was 16.

She employed you for your abilities, you mean?

May I ask, what sort of work did you carry out?
nutsornothing: (018)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-03-26 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah that is right!

I'm a devil hunter for Public Safety. We kill both devils and fiends who go around fucking stuff up and make sure they do not hurt any people back home. Its a tough job but someone has to do it and its a better life than what I used to have that is for damn sure.

[ What a tragedy of a child. If only the concept was anything new to Vanessa. ]

Fascinating. Something similar once kept me and mine occupied as night work, though our cause was hardly so noble.

[ And half-devils had never exactly been in her employ, but every one of them had been monsters. How she misses her dear boys, even if she was the one to eventually 'fuck stuff up' more than any demon ever could. ]

And now that you are here, shall you carry on just the same? It seems that one can take on new powers and opportunity in this world. Something of freedom to many.

I'm mostly in it for the chicks and food perks.

Honestly? I'm just trying to live my best life here I ain't too worried about getting more power cause I don't need it. I know people back home who wanted more and power and it just got themselves killed.


[That shit head yakuza boss learned that the hard way after making a deal with the Zombie Devil lusting for more power. Denji not only killed him but chopped up their zombie pawns all to ribbons.]

[personal profile] matermali 2024-03-27 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wise enough.

[ Having the power seems to be just as deadly.

It's only thanks to her very strange encounters elsewhere that she suspects he's using slang, but it doesn't hurt to check. Perhaps he's simply rather particular with his human cuisine. ]


Chicks?
nutsornothing: (045)

I'm so sorry for his stupidity lmao

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-03-28 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't know what a chick is!?

Girls, y'know?
matermali: (003)

good lad just has his priorities in order

[personal profile] matermali 2024-03-28 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

I cannot say that I have taken note of either the food or the women, but with such enthusiasm to wield, I'm certain you'll find your way.
nutsornothing: (023)

Food, women and more food. LOL

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-03-29 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
There is nothing better than food or women in the world I say!!

Hey thanks! Name's Denji by the way what's yours?
matermali: (309)

and look she supports him in full apathy

[personal profile] matermali 2024-03-29 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Vanessa. Vanessa Ives.

[ So he's no different than most men (save a few exceptions). At least she can respect his transparency. Ah, the boldness of youth and humanity, or some such. ]

I suppose I ought to consider offering my own truths and lie, in fairness to my participation of the game.

Would you care to try your hand?
nutsornothing: (051)

One of the few xD

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-03-30 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah, Vanessa!! I'm down to play the game lets do this!!
matermali: (076)

[personal profile] matermali 2024-03-30 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
1. I have traveled through time.
2. I have watched a god die.
3. I have helped guard the doorway to Hell.
nutsornothing: (012)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-03-30 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn. These ones are hard!!

I'm gonna go with 1?!?
matermali: (090)

[personal profile] matermali 2024-03-30 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Number one is quite true. I have traveled through and outside of time.

It was not for pleasure, I assure you.

Another attempt?
nutsornothing: (013)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-03-31 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Shit really!? How the hell did that end up happening?!

Uh...How about 2?
matermali: (171)

[personal profile] matermali 2024-04-01 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
The time travel? That is something of a long story, best left where it is, or shared in person. Perhaps it would even bore you.

The second statement is, in fact, the lie. It was only a demon claiming to be a god, and I did not witness the moment of its death. It was something to be felt within the demimonde, though I did not fully understand what it was until an ally took claim for the kill.

Were you simply ticking down the list with your guesses?
nutsornothing: (036)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-04-02 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
How could time travel be boring though!?

NICE GOT IT! I've killed a bunch of devils who thought they were invincible but they all died in the end.


[A brief pause before sending the next message toying with Vanessa a bit teasingly.]

Maybe...Maybe not.
matermali: (036)

[personal profile] matermali 2024-04-15 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
The travel itself was not boring, but the telling of it may be strange. Best spoken of in person, perhaps. Should we ever meet.

I would be just as keen to hear on how you have killed your devils.
nutsornothing: (148)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-04-16 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm always down for a good meal and swapping stories!

You name the time and place. I'm there!
matermali: (112)

[personal profile] matermali 2024-04-16 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ A good meal is just too difficult to come by, don't tempt her. ]

A public house may best fit, then, unless there are any tea rooms about. I'm yet unfamiliar with what may be easily accessed for all.
nutsornothing: (019)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-04-16 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
What is a public house? Never heard of a tea house around here either. All I know are different taverns even though I don't drink.
