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.

It is a matter of how the translator chooses to translate this venerable one's words.

You are incorrect. Shangque bows to this venerable one and eagerly serves.

You may guess again.


[[ooc: very late bc life hit me with an oomph. feel free to ignore this if it's too old!]]

It's okay! :3

[nutsornothing]

Right...Okay.

For real? So this Shangque is a dragon who works for you or some shit?!

[yuezun]

Shangque is a black dragon. One of the last. He is this venerable one's second in command and has serveed this venerable one for over 30,000 years.

[nutsornothing]

Damn that is so cool!! I had a pet devil but he was not a general or whatever this dragon was to you.

Wait did you say...30,000 years!?! You're old as hell dude!!

[yuezun]

This venerable one is immortal, but he is not as old as Hell. The seas and volcanoes where Hellfire was first taken control of were made into a nation by this venerable one's honored ancestor many tens of thousands of years ago. This venerable one was not born until long after Yannv returned to the cycle of reincarnation.

Also, let this venerable one assure you before you are foolish enough to ask: though this venerable one is certainly a devil, he is not one you can make a pet of.

[nutsornothing]

You know that was just a joke, right? I didn't really need a history lesson on literally hell.

Wait...You're a devil too!?! I can turn into one as well thanks to the heart my pet devil Pochita gave me when we both got chopped up into fucking bits and pieces.

[yuezun]

[He did not know it was a joke. But he will remember that 'you're old as hell' is meant to be funny. Perhaps it was to mortals because of their short lifespans. He would have to ask someone else about it. Perhaps Cid or Zhao.]

This Pochita shared it's heart with you?

[To save him from death, it sounds like. A very loyal pet, indeed. Fitting for a devil.]

[nutsornothing]

[Its still a little rough to talk about even after months of the whole ordeal happening as Denji struggles a bit every time when he explains it.]

Yeah...We both got ourselves into some deep shit with the zombie devil who used to be a mob boss I was paying off my dad's debt to killing devils for him but then he killed both of us.

Some devils can take over dead bodies of people though but instead of Pochita coming back he gave me another chance at life. He told me to show him my dreams and live on for the both of us and that is what I've been doing everyday!

[yuezun]

Such loyalty to your people is commendable.

[The whole 'show him his dreams and live on for the both of them' bit was strange, but Daqiang had no stake in the matter to care and comment.]

What is a 'zombie devil'?

[nutsornothing]

He was my best friend.

[His only friend if he was to be completely honest until he joined Public Safety, sighing to himself a bit still missing his pet devil even though Pochita lived on inside of him.]

Exactly what it sounds like! It was a weird looking zombie who controlled other ones, idiots who wanted power and turned them all zombies too.

[yuezun]

[...

Perhaps he should have been clearer.]

What is a zombie?

[nutsornothing]

Huh? You don't know what a zombie is?!

Well its basically someone who is dead but...not dead I guess? They are stupid as hell and don't talk or anything. All they want to do is eat people except these ones listened to the zombie devil's commands since they were turned into them by it.

[yuezun]

['dead but not dead' described a few people he'd met in this world. though none of them were what he'd describe as 'stupid as hell' or even 'stupid'.]

Is the term 'stupid as hell' also a joke?

[he's a devil from what could be considered a specific hell. he wants to know if he should be insulted or not.]

[nutsornothing]

Huh? Nah its just a saying.

What kinda world are you from anyways?

[This 'venerable one' was a bit of an odd ball and sure did not know a lot about the modern world which prompts Denji's question.]

[yuezun]

This venerable one is from the Three Realms. It is world that exists within time, not outside of it as this one does.

[nutsornothing]

Three realms? Never heard of it.

Uh...Sounds confusing as shit.
