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.

2. I can make mechanical penguins.
2. I once slept underwater.
3. I have a really big family with lots of brothers and sisters.

[ashadowofhope]

quite the skill to sleep underwater

[scooba]

It takes a lot of practice.

[...Yes, that's all he's saying.]

[ashadowofhope]

[He doesn't know enough to say whether or not that's the truth.]

what is having a family like?

[He's asking genuinely, but that may not cross in this way he realizes.]

[scooba]

It's kind of nice. Even though we have our own differences, it makes to be with them.

...Because I'm not alone.

[ashadowofhope]

not alone. that i understand.

about this 'mechanical penguin', does that mean you forge it by metal to be the bird?

[scooba]

Yes, that's correct.

I can make a penguin out of scrap parts. Although, I have to admit, the materials here aren't what I'm used to. So the penguins I make aren't that great.

[ashadowofhope]

still you try. that is admirable.

then i take it you have not slept underwater.

[scooba]

...No I haven't.

But I almost did once from how tired I was.

Sleeping underwater sounds horrible, and I hope you have not been forced to do so, making it the lie.

[scooba]

...

You're right, I haven't slept underwater before.

Although, I almost did once.

[astudyinviolet]

Dare I ask the circumstances for that?

[ It still sounds horrible. ]

[scooba]

Nothing really.

I was just tired.

But back home, I didn't need a helmet to breath underwater.

[astudyinviolet]

[ Wait, what?! ]

Can you truly breathe underwater in your world?

[scooba]

Yes.

...

But those who have visions can. Not everyone in my world can breathe underwater.

[astudyinviolet]

Does it then follow that those with visions can never drown?

[makoglow]

Choosing the sleeping underwater.

[scooba]

...Was it that obvious?

Aren't the waters of Fontaine's great lakes supposedly breathable for Vision holders?

[Not that Alhaitham has tried that himself, but. It's one reason why Fontaine is a popular tourist destination.]

[scooba]

...

That's correct. I don't really need my helmet to swim underwater.

[And he called him out already.]

[indispensable]

You'd still need it for other bodies of water outside of Fontaine.

[...........he hopes you at least are aware of that, Freminet.]

[scooba]

...Yes, I know.

I am aware that I might die here if I don't.

[indispensable]

It would be some cause for concern if you hadn't realized that after all this time.

[scooba]

I did learn from it.

Especially during my first day here and I learned that the hard way.

[indispensable]

[...well at least there's no lasting damages.]

Lessons are only valuable if you keep them in mind.
