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.

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.]

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

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

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!!

1. I have traveled through time.
2. I have watched a god die.
3. I have helped guard the doorway to Hell.

[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.

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.

[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.
matermali: (229)

[personal profile] matermali 2024-04-17 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
We needn't drink. They are essentially one and the same, merely of a different time. I've heard others also refer to them as pubs. Or bars.

[ Pub makes perfect sense but where did 'bar' come from... ]

If you would like to choose a tavern, then, please call upon me when it best suits you.
nutsornothing: (148)

[personal profile] nutsornothing 2024-04-17 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah bars are the norm back home in Japan!

Alright sounds good I'll find a nice place with some good grub and we can mow down and talk soon!

[personal profile] matermali 2024-04-17 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I look forward to it.
