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, I think I know this game.

1. I don’t own a phone
2. I used to be the Champion of my school
3. I fought against a Legendary Pokemon

whatchu mean legendary pokemon?

[ohwowzers]

Stronger than a regular Pokemon. Legendary Pokemon are so strong they're capable of amazing things. There's stories of some Legendary Pokemon being able to move continents or revive dead Pokemon. Some are even considered gods.

[sos_pilot]

one, obviously. what kid your age doesn't have a phone???

[ohwowzers]

Well...

Sorry, that one's true. Before coming here I never had my own phone.

1. I'm best friends with the most powerful being in my world.
2. I have performed on piano in front of a crowd for a concert.
3. I've eaten a poisonous mushroom and lived to tell the tale.

[serendipitously]

For your sake I hope the first one is the lie. Knowing the most powerful beings in a world never seems to go too well.

[musicien]

It's actually the contrary. You'd be surprised to hear that he's quite delightful.

...is it two?

[ Well, Sherlock knows that number two is true based on a conversation they had about apologizing to someone. That leaves one and three to consider, so... ]

I am going to venture that one is the lie. You either cannot cook or some other dish is your specialty.

[talizoraaah]

1. There are no insects on my planet.
2. I once had to fish a drowning bird out of the ocean. It has been a companion of mine ever since.
3. My favorite film genre is romance.

[thearchangel]

2nd one, easy - you don’t have a pet.

Surely the first one is the lie. Insects are a core component of any life-sustaining ecological system.

[ Although Zelda's feeling a lot less confidence in this answer after seeing Garrus put the same thing on his two truths and a lie... ]

[book2thehead]

Somehow I simply can't see you either fishing a bird from the ocean or keeping one as a pet.

Games such as this seem pointless but I suppose I shall participate for.. fun.

[Theres some time between his initial thought and his actual facts.]

First: I offered to arranged a death match to save a city.

Second: Years have passed and there are still many secrets about myself I do not know.

Third: I fought off one of the most powerful dragons known to the Free Marches to save a group of travellers.

[...Sir?

Sir are you okay?]

...What is a death match, in this context?

[Crimson eyes, with a gentle glow behind them, are the first things apparent when the feed initializes, then the pale face they're set into.]

I don't get the impression you're a guy who'd fight a dragon out of the goodness of his heart.

[His voice is rough, deeper than it looks like it would be.]

So. Did it work? the death match?

[Guess who is giving in and posting after being nagged about incessantly by one blonde architect.]

1) I have dropped out of school.
2) I had sex more than ten times in the past week.
3) I have won every game of chess.

[The second one is totally just there to mess with Kaveh. This is what he gets for being so naggy!!]

[astudyinviolet]

[ Sherlock knows the first is a lie because Alhaitham works for the Akademiya, and they would not hire a dropout or let that dropout become temporary lead of the nation. Yet, then that would mean... ]

Number one is the lie.

[ Someone can engage in that activity so often within a week's time?! And it is "more than ten times" on top of that?! There are seven days in a week! ]

voice; un: paradisea

[empyrean_mirror]

ALHAITHAM WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

[Oh that came out fully a squeak.]

1. I slept in a coffin for 28 years. I didn't want to get up.
2. I found my gun in a chest back home. It's weird how often that happens.
3. I used to be a bodyguard.

[makoglow]

Vincent.

[ Cloud probably shouldn't be allowed to answer, right? ]

[hellofishies]

Maybe you could be a bodyguard here!

[moremystyle]

1. I've already traveled a rift between the worlds.

2. Once I took a magic portal to a different planet because a meteor wasn't available.

3. I'm friends with a scholarly lizard who lives in an ancient library.
