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.

Sherlock, please think very hard about whether or not you want the answer to that question.

[astudyinviolet]

[ There is a pattern, a very noticeable pattern that should have taught a lesson by now were it not a fatal flaw, an ingrained part of Sherlock's character. Where does the search for knowledge stop? When should one stop for the benefit of the self? Is the unknown really so bad? Does every mystery need a solution? Sherlock has no answers for any of that because he does not even question whether he should. ]

Are there expectations for the frequency of the act? What is a baseline reference? There are only seven days in a week. If this is a normal amount, then does anyone manage to accomplish anything? If it is not a normal amount, is it more or less?

[Aaaaaand here comes Heizou. To the rescue? Who exactly is being saved here again?]

My dear friend, I think these are questions best asked off the network. :3

[Or not at all, but he knows that curiosity all too well.]

Let's save all that for another time, shall we?

[astudyinviolet]

[ Heizou! He is trying to gather information that may never become relevant someday! Why shouldn't he ask? Surely he's not the only one who doesn't know...

Oh God, is he the only one who doesn't know? ]

"Another time" meaning "never"? I wouldn't have asked if I didn't think it bears some importance. Being ignorant of the facts can spell disaster or create misunderstandings.

[Man alive, Sherry, are you pouting right now?]

"Another time" meaning "would you like to bring some coffee over to the agency? I'll meet you there."

[astudyinviolet]

[ Heizou would be pouting too if he was told that he couldn't learn a thing he thinks he should know. ]

Very well. I'll make sure we have some clean cups.

YOU WANT INBOX OR IS HERE FINE OR WHA

[book2thehead]

[I mean... Yes. But still!]

Wonderful! Bring all your curiosity with you as well -- but you may need to cast aside your shame. :3

Sparing everyone from more detective chaos

[ He's already admitting that he doesn't know things and is trying to fill his knowledge gaps. Hell's bells, life was so much simpler when he didn't know he could fall in love and all the mess that has gone with it. ]

text; he's mortified but he's trying.

And how precisely should I know what's normal for others?

It varies by week. Expectations would be something you discuss with your lover, and what other people are doing hasn't anything to do with it.

Should just get him a sex ed book at this point

[astudyinviolet]

Kaveh, you know more about relationships and what happens in them than I. In fact, everyone seems to have some innate understanding that I lack. What understanding I do have is either in the abstract in relation to crime or from here as you've made it perfectly clear that I should not trust anything my world has to say on the matter.

he's debating it

[empyrean_mirror]

I can promise you none of it's innate.

The trouble is, it's often very different for each individual, and thus even more unique for each pair. I can't tell you what's "normal" because I'm not sure that a "normal" really exists.

Happy Winterstide. Read this please

[astudyinviolet]

If normal or average exists, I am the furthest from it. I always have been.

Yet, I cannot deny that having a number does put things into a new perspective because my assumption of what might be considered normal was an order of magnitude off.

there will be an essay.

[empyrean_mirror]

I don't think either Alhaitham or I is going to be of any use to you on what's considered 'normal', if I'm being perfectly honest.

Is there a test afterwards?

[astudyinviolet]

Then perhaps I am no closer to understanding beyond that over ten in a week's time is a possibility.
