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.

I am a consulting detective. My work brings me into contact with all manner of people and situations.

I would love to hear more these situations of yours then. To help figure out the lie, of course.

[ Sherlock isn't actually playing the game for the game's sake but for the information he can gleam from it. Therefore, he has no issue with giving more details. ]

I would be willing to do that, but you'll have to tell me which tale to tell first. You cannot honestly expect me to tell all three at once.

Let's go with the third one. Did you really steal a drunk man's clothes?

The drunken man in question had an invitation to a gem show that we needed to get into for our investigation. The doorman at the front had poor eyesight, so despite the man being known to people in town, the outfit and invitation would do the work.

So, while the man was in a drunken stupor at the bar, we took his jacket and hat and proceeded to get inside.
