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.

[Oh no??]

Ah? I would be happy to be your friend too??

[scooba]

You don't have to do that for my sake.

...Unless that is what you want.

[fullgauntlet]

I don't mind making new friends. Honestly, I used to be pretty bad at making friends, myself.

[scooba]

Really?

Then um....may I ask what is your name?

[fullgauntlet]

Really... I'm a little better with it now.

My name is Izuku Midoriya! What's yours?

[scooba]

My name is Freminet. It's really nice to meet you, Mr. Izuku.

[fullgauntlet]

It's nice to meet you too, Freminet-san.

[Look at them being so polite and cute.]

[scooba]

Indeed.

[Beat]

I'm sorry, I'm not really food with conversations so I'm not really sure what to do next.

[fullgauntlet]

Well... How about this? Tell me about a few things you like to do? Hobbies and things like that? Then I can tell you mine.

[scooba]

Uh...

If I do, promise you won't laugh? I have to admit, a lot of the things I like might be a little childish.

[fullgauntlet]

I promise I won't laugh.

I think some of my hobbies are probably the same? At least... my friends always say I'm a nerd.

[scooba]

What makes you say that?

What things do you like?

[fullgauntlet]

Probably because I am one. But that's alright.

Because I like things like heroes and comic books. Movies and tv shows that feature heroes of all kinds...!

[scooba]

Oh, I see.

I guess it's kind of the same thing for you. You also like a lot of fairytales and daydream sometimes too...

[fullgauntlet]

Yeah... yeah, I do. I think I daydream a lot.

Do you have a lot of daydreams?

[scooba]

Yes?

Normally about Pers and how often he saves the other penguins in Penguin Town. It's a little childish but I like to think I'm being productive about it.

[fullgauntlet]

Ah? Pers and Penguin Town? Is that a story you follow?

[scooba]

More that it's a story I made up.

And that I hope that I can find a conclusion to one day.

[fullgauntlet]

Wahh?! You made it up yourself? That's incredible!!

[scooba]

Really? Is it that impressive...?

[fullgauntlet]

I think it is? It's not easy to come up with stories.

[scooba]

I suppose.

I just never thought about it that way. I always thought it was considered too childish to come up with stories.

[fullgauntlet]

Comics and stories are popular where I come from! Even authors and mangaka are so popular they're treated like celebrities! It's not childish.

[scooba]

font face=courier>Mangaka...?

And is that so? I wonder if I can ever be as popular as they are back in their world...

[fullgauntlet]

Ah, a mangaka is someone who draws... comics. That's the simplest way to put it.

If you keep working at your dream, you can do anything!
