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.

[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.

[ashadowofhope]

what were you doing to be swimming while exhausted?

[Not that he's one to talk about being tired while doing anything.]

[scooba]

...

Helping fix the pipes.

[That was a lie but he didn't want to tell what he was really doing to a stranger.]

[ashadowofhope]

[It's all good... but he also doesn't understand.]

'helping fix the pipes'? what 'pipes'?

[scooba]

That keeps flooding my house back home.

So I had to go underwater to go and fix it.

[ashadowofhope]

i believe i missed something. where is your house that your pipes are underwater? should they not carry the water to your home over or through the ground?
