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.

1. my uncle filled my cavities with gold
2. i've dated a goddess of the moon
3. i once time-traveled and stole some armor

[scooba]

...2? Is that the lie?

[sos_pilot]

Correct! Way to go!

Selene is one of my besties and a total sweetheart, but we've never dated. Mortal and god romance rarely goes well, y'know?

[scooba]

...I wasn't aware there were goddesses back in your world too. Your world sounds like it's a lot of expansive than I thought.

[sos_pilot]

Oh sure, we've got plenty of gods and goddesses. Not everyone knows about them, though. It's only because my family goes on such huge adventures that we see them so much! They've even felt comfy enough to come visit us at home.

[scooba]

It must be nice to have all these highly respected people that come see you.

I wouldn't know what I would do if they wanted to see me.

[sos_pilot]

Aw, I'm sure they'd love you! Truth is, they like it when we treat them like ordinary guys. Helps them relax.

Except for Zeus, but he's a jerk so he doesn't count.

[beshackled]

Time-traveling sounds interesting. What was it like?

[sos_pilot]

Not fun. It wasn't on purpose, and I had to constantly make sure I didn't mess up the timeline.

[beshackled]

Ah, so it was to the past? Were you able to return to the time you wished to? Was it as you had hoped?

[sos_pilot]

Yes, but let me explain a little bit. One of my sons was using a time machine to, basically, steal treasure from the past. But he was doing it so much that time itself was ripping apart, turning into some kind of Time Tornado. People in our home were being yanked back and forth in the past and present until we could fix it.

[beshackled]

I can see how that might happen. If he kept going back and forth without resolving the opened connections, 'twould theoretically be possible for others to slip through and between unawares...

Your son. He is alright now?'Twas a dangerous thing he did.

[sos_pilot]

Oh, yeah. He put all the treasures back where they're supposed to be, and then I SUPER grounded him.

[ohwowzers]

Uh...

I don't mean to sound bad but all of these sound like lies

[sos_pilot]

LOL! I lead a pretty amazing life, what can I say?

But I promise, two of those things are the absolute truth!

[ohwowzers]

You sure do live a crazy life! You're like the hero in an adventure comic!

I guess... three?

[sos_pilot]

Nope! Totally happened! Really wish it didn't.

[ohwowzers]

Wait huh??

How did that happen??

[sos_pilot]

Well, to make a long story short, my son Louie was using a time machine to steal treasures from the past. It really messed things up, causing some kind of time tornado that pulled people in out of the past and future.

[obliviscere]

Is one even safe? I'm going to guess that one is the lie?

[sos_pilot]

Nope! Totally true! And it even helped me out of a jam once, when I needed some extra gold as fuel for a gold-powered rocket-ship. Which is also not a lie.

[obliviscere]

Didn't it hurt to take it out???

[sos_pilot]

Sure did, but it was worth it! Takes more than that to take down Della Duck!

[obliviscere]

That's so impressive! But you really shouldn't have to hurt yourself!

[sos_pilot]

I don't exactly go looking for pain, either. But it was one of those desperate times, desperate measure kinda deals.
