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.

Douse it in lamp oil, set it on fire. I smelled like burned seafood for a week.

No idea. But I sure hope I never see something like it again.

[ohwowzers]

That sounds like some crazy mutant Tentacruel. I'm glad you made it out ok.

But uh... is three a lie?

[weisshappened]

Nope.

It's an elf thing.

[ohwowzers]

Elf thing?

Is that why your ears are so long?

[weisshappened]

That's... one way to describe them...

[Hoo boy.]

Just a head's up, Kieran - I know you don't know it, don't mean any harm at all. But, there's at least one other elf from my world here, and he probably won't.

Try not to mention our ears like that. It's uh... a whole thing back where we're from.

[ohwowzers]

Oh! Wait, is that something offensive? I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Honestly I just thought people from where you come from just had long ears and didn't think much about it. Grandma always says not to be rude to people if they look different.

[weisshappened]

Pretty close. But, like I said, I know you didn't know about it. You're fine, kid.

Hah - your grandma's right about that much. But no, not everyone's an elf back home. We've got dwarves, qunari and humans.

[ohwowzers]

Okay.We don’t always get a lot of new folks coming to Mossui Town, but Grandma always made sure to remind us to be polite to any outsiders.

Wowzers. Where I’m from elves and dwarves are stuff from fairy tales and storybooks. But what’s a qunari?

[weisshappened]

She'd be glad to see you're doing just that, right now.

They're tall, horned people. Big and strong. Kind of blue-grey skin. The one I know, back in our world, they can breathe fire.

[ohwowzers]

The way you make 'em sound, it's almost like an ogre from our stories back home. Ogres were usually said to have big horns and were real strong. But the only ogre I ever met didn't have blue skin.

[weisshappened]

We've got ogres too. They're uh. They're nothing alike, for us.

Taash said they're more like dragons, and I'm inclined to believe them.

[ohwowzers]

Dragons? So it's more like Dragonite or Hydrapple... but human-like?

[weisshappened]

I guess so?

Come by sometime - I'm better at sketching monsters than people. But I can show you a dragon or two from our world. For a better idea.

[ohwowzers]

Okay, I'll do that! I'd like to see what dragons and other things from your world look like.

[weisshappened]

Just let me know when you're dropping by, and you're on.
