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.

because we're pirates. so the marines have to come after us and send bounty hunters.

[The Straw Hats are definitely more chill, though, as far as pirates go. Mostly because with the likes of Luffy as captain, they tend to just go around making friends as they explore and search for the One Piece. On their journey to the Grand Line.]

[ Once upon a time, Sherlock played at being a pirate and sailing the high seas for treasure and adventure. Then, trauma happened. ]

Is it similar to how Corsairs and Paladins sometimes interact with one another?

[reindered]

well. the marines supposed to uphold the law. and punish criminals. and technically, all pirates are criminals. so they set bounties for us. it isn't like i haven't helped them sometimes. when some were hurt in a storm, i treated them and performed surgery to help them.

[astudyinviolet]

Is that so? It say much about your character to treat an enemy set out to punish you.

[ He knows a man like that. ]

[reindered]

about me? i couldn't just ignore them like that! and their doctor wasn't very confident, so. someone had to help them.

[astudyinviolet]

There are people who would let them die. There are doctors who have less than altruistic goals and morals.

You are not among them if you treated them and helped their doctor.

[reindered]

but i can't just leave someone who needs help. it was a storm, so it wasn't like there was really anything they could do to avoid it. some of them were bad enough that they needed surgery. i just did what i had to.

[astudyinviolet]

I imagine you also refused any sort of payment for services rendered.

[reindered]

of course not. i mean. i didn't want them to figure out it was me, but also it wasn't like they were in a condition to.

[astudyinviolet]

And thus why your actions speak much to your character.

[reindered]

you think so? i just didn't want to cause any trouble if they realized it was me. and most of them were still resting when we left. so i just left them with their doctor.

[astudyinviolet]

I would not say so if I did not think it.

[reindered]

you're making me sound way nice...!

[...because he is. Chopper is decidedly likely not at all what anyone thinks of when they hear 'pirate'. Or doctor for that matter, really.]

[astudyinviolet]

Your actions are the ones speaking that more than I.

[reindered]

it wasn't that big a deal, really.

[astudyinviolet]

Ah yes, saving an enemy's life is not a big deal. My mistake.

[reindered]

it isn't like they're personally an enemy? i didn't really know the marines. just. couldn't let them suffer or die. the others would probably have done the same if they knew about medicine, too.

[....Probably?]

[astudyinviolet]

Perhaps one day you will read this exchange and realize that you continue to prove my point with every argument otherwise.

[reindered]

i -- wait, i am?

[That's. Not what he is trying to do??]

[astudyinviolet]

Yes.

[reindered]

that's not what i mean!! just because we won't just leave someone to die, doesn't mean we shouldn't get big bounties!

[astudyinviolet]

I said nothing about it reflecting the size of your bounty, merely your character. There is no conflict between the two.

[reindered]

still! i just want to figure my reputation! that's supposed to be important!

[astudyinviolet]

If you want a start on that, then I suggest you read this exchange once more, pretending it was about someone else.

[reindered]

how does that help?
