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.

One sounds too detailed to be a lie, and three sounds too weird to be false, so i'm going with two???

Ah, your instincts are as impeccable as ever.

That is correct. I haven't yet been to the edge of the universe, although I'm told I shall in future.

[sos_pilot]

Sometimes the funny pink thing in my head called a brain does work.

But if anyone can reach the edge of the universe, I have no doubt it'd be you!

[emet_sulk]

I'm touched by your belief in my capabilities but the credit must be given to the people of my star for creating a starship capable of reaching it.

[sos_pilot]

And you're part of your people, are you not? I stand by my compliment.

But as much as I love to inflate your ego, I HAVE to know the story about that third thing.

[ Oh... That's touching, Della. He needs a moment. ]

Ah, the volcano...

Well, a long, long time ago, we received a report about the imminent eruption of a volcano. That island was home to a number of residents as well as a slew of vineyards.

Our initial decision was to evacuate the residents and let nature run its course. It would destroy the immediate area of course, but the land - the soil - would be the better for it in the centuries hence.

My friend, however, disagreed. Against the Convocation's will (of wbich they were a part of, I might add) they stole the concept for a fire-based concept known as Ifrita. They used the volatile fire aether of the volcano to bring this concept into being and fought it, dispersing the energy harmlessly and thus postponing the eruption.

dude that sounds so epic, i wish i could have seen it for myself!!!

The last thing my friend would have needed is onlookers stoking their ego further. They caused enough headaches for me as it was.

[ The paperwork and the 'lively' debates when they returned home...augh. ]

Then again, I do believe the two of you would have gotten along swimmingly.

[sos_pilot]

hey, any friend of yours is a friend of mine! if they ever pop up here, send them my way!

[emet_sulk]

I certainly will if they do.

[ Yes... Yes, they would definitely get along well, he thinks pensively. ]

They've always had an adventurous spirit. Someone needs to be by their side to pull them out of trouble.
