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.

Hah! Fair enough. Here - some just for you.

1 - I speak halla
2 - One time I broke my arm joyriding in an aravel
3 - My vallaslin. It's one of Andruil's.

[eternalhymn]

Just for me, huh? Alright then!

Hmm. Andruil suits you, since you're a hunter, and I can definitely see you getting into trouble in an aravel.

I don't think singing to halla counts as speaking their language. There's no way you speak halla!

[weisshappened]

Yeah - just for you.

[He doesn't talk about the vallaslin to just anybody--]

Damn. There's no fooling you. No, I don't. But there's some clans who have people who can.

[eternalhymn]

[Good point! Vallaslin is pretty serious stuff.]

Don't I feel special!

[She smiles to herself.]

You almost did, to be fair. I think with a little persuading, I could believe you spoke halla.

[weisshappened]

Well. You should.

[Did he - did he really send that.]

[Just a minute he has to scrub his hands over his face.]

Nah, didn't spend enough time around them, or their keepers, to learn that. Would've had to stick with the clan for it. One of those absolute dedication things.

[eternalhymn]

[He sure did.

For a moment, she doesn't know what to say to that, but she can feel her face heating up a little bit...]

Well, if it's dedication that's needed, you've got plenty of that. You'll be speaking griffon in no time, with how much time you spend with Assan.

[weisshappened]

[This is going super great. They're doing great at this.]

Hah, I think I'm already pretty fluent in that. Next I'll have to teach the rest of you.

[eternalhymn]

[As always, they're nailing it.]

I think I do pretty well for myself! It probably helps that Assan is usually looking to me for food, though. Makes it easy to figure out what he wants.

[weisshappened]

That's cheating.

We'll work on real words at some point. We've uh. We've got time, huh?

[eternalhymn]

Guess we do, don't we? A lot more of it than we're used to.

[It's been that way for a good while now, but she doubts that will ever feel normal to her.]

At least he knows how to get my attention in an emergency! But real words will help. Eager and ready to learn, Captain Davrin!
