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.

You're making me sound like some comic book sidekick or hero... [He doesn't know if he should be more or less offended.] It was just Pop's idea to start me on my training early so I wouldn't slack on my skills. Anyway, you got two more guesses. :P 50/50, what'll it be?

[activatingcombatmode]

Nah, you just make it sound like you can handle a lot of insane things. Usually, it takes a lot to be able to do those things.

That's why I'm gonna say the swimming thing in the truth too.

#1 is the lie?

[catsgothistongue]

Can and have. My world's got a lot of insane things to survive and deal with.

You got it! It only took you a million guesses. I'm not the one that start fires in our kitchen.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yours and mine both, man. Yeah. But in mine it's usually only the chemically enhanced super soldiers that deal with the insane things.

Nice! It didn't take me a million guesses, though? Come on! Haha

[catsgothistongue]

Huh. In my world, people don't use science-y stuff to buff themselves up and pump who knows what into their system. They use magic, ki or cursed artifacts to get stronger. They don't beat the real deal.

One, one million, either one's the same in this game.

[activatingcombatmode]

You don't even know the half of it... But that makes sense. I think most people could get just as strong with all that. I don't know what ki is though.

All that matters is I got the answer right in the end. Points for me.

[catsgothistongue]

Ki's the life force and energy inside all living things. Everyone's got it, though to be able to consciously pull from it and be able to use it takes years of training.

[activatingcombatmode]

You don't mean just muscle power?

[Okay, gym rat.]

No, it's completely different. Here, let me just

[Gym monkey is more appropriate with how he often hangs from branches!

Ranma switched from texting to video, showing him sitting in some forest. Holding his hand up and showing his palm, Zack'll watch as a golden orb of light formed from his hand, hanging there with minor bobs up and down.]

[Oh, are they going video call? Sorry, Zack's going to struggle with clicking that onnnn- there.]

So, inner energy? Okay. I think I get that. It's sort of like magic.

[But nootttt magic.]

[catsgothistongue]

[Glad to know someone else is inexperienced with modern tech...]

Yeah, but entirely different. Magic is... well, magic. You know?

[activatingcombatmode]

Ya, I know. I think I get it.

[Sort of...]
