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. A guy ate my hair once.

2. I can run up 59 flights of stairs without breaking a sweat.

3. I took down a giant dragon solo. One on one, no big deal! Didn't even miss dinner.

[afflatusexarch]

Who would've tried to eat your hair?

[activatingcombatmode]

Let's just say it had something to do with science.

[afflatusexarch]

Zack, what does that even mean?

[activatingcombatmode]

There was a guy who wanted my DNA for something once.

[Some guy really ate his hair.]

[afflatusexarch]

Your what?

[activatingcombatmode]

My DNA?

The things that make me, me? The parts of me. Parts of my body. That are Zack only.

[Okay, Zack. Science isn't his strong suit, obviously. Neither is teaching.]

[chaosvessel]

Why do you know that?

[activatingcombatmode]

You ever try running the stairs at the Shinra HQ?

[chaosvessel]

Yes.

[Vincent doesn't really...get...winded in that way.]

[activatingcombatmode]

And did you make it without dying? Passing out?

[chaosvessel]

Yes.

Given you carried me up those stairs, I know the second is true. That leaves me to find the lie in the remaining two, and I will guess that three is not completely true, making it a lie.

[ It could be as easy as missing dinner. ]

[activatingcombatmode]

Hmmm, you're pretty tricky, Sherlock. But yeah something about number 3 is wrong.

I dunno it if's cheating to put half-truths half-lies in here, though.

[astudyinviolet]

If this game were anything more than a way to learn more about each other, then perhaps. However, I would be guilty of the same, and it would be hypocritical to accuse you of cheating.

[activatingcombatmode]

That's good to hear then.

But yeah, I totally missed a dinner date.

[Which means he did fight a dragon ... solo?]

[astudyinviolet]

I hope the other party was understanding for your absence.

[activatingcombatmode]

Well, it sure was complicated. But for the most part, yeah she did.

Feels bad when you have to break plans, though. You know?

[feralhumanity]

I'm gonna say 3 is the lie because I wanna know who would try to eat your hair

[activatingcombatmode]

Boy, it's a long story, Red.

[feralhumanity]

Well, you gotta tell me what happened! What kind of person is crazy enough to try and eat your hair??

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah. I guess I'd have to ask first.

You know Hojo. Right?

[That name might just ... explain it all right there?]

[feralhumanity]

[Oh, if Zack could see the face Nanaki is making right now.]

I know him.

[makoglow]

Got to be 3.

[activatingcombatmode]

Damn, can't get past you.

I definitely missed dinner.
