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.

How did you manage to collect nine parents, Bennet?

well i have my dads back in mondstadt, the adventurers who all worked together to raise me since i was a baby

and then when i traveled to natlan i got a chance to meet my birth parents


[Maybe it's a good thing this is text, so Kaveh can't see that Bennett feels a bit sad thinking about them.]

Your birth parents...oh, so that would explain it. Your clothes are a mix of Natlan and Mondstadt styles, aren't they? To keep both of your homes close at hand.

eheh, honestly, when i picked out my clothes during my trip to natlan i just thought they looked cool. i didn't even know about my heritage at the time! but i guess that's a nice bonus!

It suits you very well.

[But if that was the lie...that means...]

You really ended up in the Mare Jivari?

Twice?

I don't think a lot of people would have gone to the Mare Jivari by choice.

ah yeah that's true

[He sure wouldn't have chosen to go there when he did, at least, and neither would his parents.]
