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.

i enjoy reading
i have trouble sleeping
i have taken one soul

[Look who's learned the network finally, but isn't sure how to answer this game. Thanks Sherlock. But stay with him, he's slow typing.]

[eternalhymn]

Well... the last one is so different from the other two, I think it would be too obvious if that were the lie.

Maybe the first? You don't really enjoy reading?

[ashadowofhope]

['Obvious'?]

i do enjoy reading. i do not often have time to read however.

[eternalhymn]

Oh, hm. What about sleeping, then?

[Really, her glossing over the soul thing to start says more about her than it does about him...]

[ashadowofhope]

[He doesn't mind. It means he's... learning the art of conversation.]

it is difficult. should one rest easy when the world they departed from is near its end?

That last one screams lie because 'one soul' is so weirdly specific. I feel like if youre in the business of taking souls its either 'zero' or 'too many'

Also I hope thats the lie because otherwise I have c o n c e r n s

one is specific yes. i am a knight. one would be too few.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

See thats what I thefhlgergerg

TOO FEW???? WHAT KIND OF KNIGHT ARE YOU?!

[ashadowofhope]

do knights not get sent into battle in other worlds?

[Or is this about the 'soul' part? Maybe that isn't normal??]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Okay

okay lets start over. One thing at a time.

Youre a knight right?

[Maybe there was some miscommunication somewhere. That has to be it, right?]

[scooba]

...You've taken a soul. Is that the lie?

[ashadowofhope]

indeed. that is incorrect.

[scooba]

...You're correct, that is incorrect.

...Is it that obvious?

[ashadowofhope]

it is. this 'game' is new that i could not think of another lie nor could i make an entirely false statement.

[Consequences of being raised by faefolk. He did still kind of tell the truth, just that not everything is correct.]

[scooba]

I see.

It's okay. I'm not new to this game but I am fairly bad at lying too.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

Define how one takes a soul

[ashadowofhope]

depends on how one views the act of taking a soul. there mere act of claiming a life would be enough though the soul then departs to either be claimed by the netherworld and its ruler or returned to the earth. however, there exists crystals in the netherworld can be taken and refined into weapons that can instead take up the soul and turn them into energy thus granting the wielder more power.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

You seem to know a lot about taking souls, my friend. Almost as if this is something you have firsthand knowledge in.

[ashadowofhope]

in war, it is wise to know what weapons each enemy wields be it dragon or these crystals.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

And would you by chance know how to wield such a weapon yourself?

taken a soul?

text; un: ashadowofhope

[ashadowofhope]

yes.

[No elaboration.]

[reindered]

i'm gonna say that one.

[Unless because it seems the least likely that it is the truth? Chopper isn't sure.]

[ashadowofhope]

that would be correct.

[Also sees no need try acting like it's not the 'lie'.]

[reindered]

i got it? that's the lie?
