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.

That's got to be a lot of fun! You know, when bad guys aren't being bad guys. Is it all just theory or do you guys actually practice this stuff? I mean besides the specialized quirk training since that sounds like it's something you have to actually do to practice. What's as reconnaissance class like? Do you guys have to travel a lot for them?
no subject
Reconnaissance classes are mostly theory but when we try to do exercises for it we usually split up into teams and we have to find where the other teams are hiding. It's usually things like that.
As for travelling? Well, I have been to a few other countries on intern missions if that counts? When I'm a pro I'll mostly stick to Japan but I'm interested in working America too!
no subject
Not that that hasn't worked out so far, but it would be nice.]
Oh, hands-on work, I know that one. It's really cool that there's actually experienced people there to help you learn the ropes and everything though! I bet they have all kinds of amazing stories and insights too!
Kind of like really elaborate Capture The Flag games? Or King of the Hill? Although if everyone has abilities...Are you guys not using them in those cases? If you are though, doesn't that get kind of intense?
I don't see why it wouldn't! Can Pros work in different places like that? Just go where you're needed when you're needed? I have no idea where either place is but they must be important if you want to protect both of them.
no subject
Hmm! That's right, we've played Capture the Flag before! It's games and training sessions just like that! Except we're allow to engage in combat on top of all that. Sometimes it can be intense but our teachers are very good at watching us.
My hero course teacher has the ability to stop our quirks temporarily so ... I'll admit he's done that to me a few times after I've gotten into bad fights with Kacchan...
But yet, that's true too. I can transfer from Japan to America if I want to when I'm older too.
no subject
Oh man, I haven't played Capture the Flag in forever! Though thinking back on how we used to play it back home, it's probably a good thing no one was around to watch out for us or we'd never have been allowed to keep playing it the way we were.
[There were not a lot of rules about what wasn't allowed the way Sora and his friends used to play. Throwing coconuts at each other? Totally allowed. Shoving each other off of plank bridges into the water? Fair game. Turning skipping ropes and volley balls into weapons to knock each other over? Was it really Capture the Flag without that? They were dangerous kids in hindsight.]
That's probably a really good ability to have as a teacher in a school full of people with super powers, yeah.
Is it complicated? To get a transfer that is. And are you allowed to go back for visits and stuff on like holidays? Providing super heroes get holidays and stuff. I guess not though, because that's not really how bad guys work.
no subject
As far as scheduling for pro heroes go... You would actually be surprised. There's enough pro hero agencies that work at all times so enough heroes are working that they do get time off and holidays. They can swap and cover each other's shifts just like a real job would be like.
Although... I have to admit. I think if I was off duty and something came up? I'd still jump in to help. A hero's work is a full-time job.
no subject
Wow, they really have thought of everything, huh? That's so cool to think that you can be a superhero and still get to have something like a regular life too. Probably leads to some really wild stories to share at dinner time too!
Yeah, yeah it really is. It's kind of just what you have to do though, right? Someone needs help, you help them. Not even a question, really.
[Not speaking from personal experience at all there or anything.]
no subject
That makes me think, I've been talking about myself too much... I'm sorry!!
What about you? What sorts of things do you do for school and things like that?
no subject
Oh, no, there's no need to apologize! I was asking you a million questions! That's totally okay!
Uh...Well, um. Normal stuff, I guess?
[It's been a while since Sora's seen the inside of a class room. Like almost all of his teenage years.]
no subject
Just... normal stuff?
no subject
Well, uh...So, there's the thing. I haven't really been able to go to school for...the last couple of years. I know, I know. It sounds really bad! Stuff kept happening and getting complicated and we just kind of had to put it on hold to deal with problems.
no subject
Are you okay?
