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.

Sadly not. My friend turned the volcano's energy into a...creature, shall we say. They fought that as a proxy for the volcano.

[obliviscere]

Doesn't that make it technically not completely true then? If your friend wasn't the one directly to fight the volcano?

But maybe the second one then? The first one is the most believable.

Hmm, that would depend on how one perceives the world I suppose. Does a volcano cease to be regarded as a volcano even if its power is transferred into a tangible vessel?

You are correct, however: I've yet to travel to the farthest edges of the universe, although I am told I will reach it eventually.

[obliviscere]

I guess that's a good point. We might have to ask the volcano and can you really ask one?

That sounds like it'll be a very exciting journey to take.

[emet_sulk]

Given what lies in wait there, I am not so sure 'exciting' is the correct word to use. But it is a journey which must be taken nonetheless.

As for the volcano, a significant accumulation of elemental fire energy could arguably pose as its 'will'. Alas, I have not the chance to pursue its study here.

[obliviscere]

What word would you use instead?

I'm sure you've had a lot of other things to pursue here.

[emet_sulk]

Harrowing, I suppose. An end to a long, drawn-out story.

And yes, I've been rather busy with running the Adamantine Forge - my workshop for aspiring engineers. I probably ought to investigate the volcano here more thoroughly. The obsidian there has been quite useful.

[obliviscere]

I hope it was a good end to that story at least?

Has there been anything strange about that volcano?

[emet_sulk]

[ The question elicits a bit of melancholy from him. ]

Whether 'tis good or bad is entirely subjective. But the star will continue turning, which is I suppose the most important part.

And no, the volcano is much like any other volcano. Apart from the cultists using it to bind a spiritual creature, I suppose.

[obliviscere]

Were those the snail cultists?

[emet_sulk]

Snails? No, unless those snails dabbled with blood, I don't believe so.

A terrible thing to bind a creature with blood. Effective though, I must say.

[obliviscere]

Binding with blood? How does that work?
