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.

3. You have.

[empyrean_mirror]

You're not even going to QUESTION the other two at all?!

[WHY IS THE BAR FIGHT THE LEAST BELIEVABLE THING?]

[astudyinviolet]

I know 1 is the truth from a conversation of ours about dreams.

2 explains why you are so patient when I'm late with rent.

I have seen what you are like drunk and how highly you value your ideas. You would and thus have.

[empyrean_mirror]

Sherlock, I told you before I never had any intention of charging you rent to begin with.

It's really not that uncommon in Sumeru...I've come in to help fix Lambad's furniture more than a few times I didn't even go out the night before.

Nonsense. You will get the rent you are owed. I have been checking the rates of comparable housing and will continue to pay accordingly.

[ It's part of being an adult and not living under your brother's roof! ]

I have seen similar arguments between professors and professors and students in my world, so it is easy to see a nation of scholars regularly participate in such heated discussions.

The apartment was given to you as a gift, Sherlock. One does not owe anyone for gifts.

[He's just gonna use the rent money on more things for you, Sherry! Stop it!]

I don't know if it's comforting or a little alarming scholars are like this in every world, so much that this seems to surprise absolutely no one.

[astudyinviolet]

People do not simply give out places to live without wanting something in return or perhaps being a family member with too many properties that the loss of one will not be felt.

[ No! He will continue argue this in various ways! ]

I suspect it has something to do with strong passions mixed with strong drinks.

[empyrean_mirror]

I did. So at least one person does.

[WHY DOES NO ONE EVER BELIEVE HE HAS NO ULTERIOR MOTIVES????]

It's true there's little reason to be a scholar if you don't have a passion for it. It's grueling work, for very little reward oftentimes. So those who remain to pursue it have a fire for it that's a little bit like insanity.

to be honest I'm not entirely sure the alcohol is necessary for fistfights to break out.

[astudyinviolet]

Utilities and bills still need to be paid.

[ Because at least this one is traumatized by family related matters and by people pretending to be a friend only to backstab him. If he pays rent, there is less of a chance of that happening again because it is more business related... or something. Less of a chance of eventually being hurt. ]

The alcohol may not be necessary. People have fought over lesser things while completely sober.
