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.

Darin confirmed matters.

[multidisciplinary]

I see.

[ She's not sure how to feel about that. Did Darin just up and blab the whole story to Sherlock one day? Or did Sherlock deduce what happened and pin Darin for conformation?

(Knowing both of them, it's probably the latter.) ]

How long have you known?

[astudyinviolet]

Around Ghoul's Moon. Darin was quite concerned about forgetting your anniversary.

[multidisciplinary]

Anniversary of what?

[astudyinviolet]

Must I spell it out to you as well? Very well, the both of you are a perfect match for each other.

The rough date of when you decided to become lovers and pledged yourselves to each other.

[ Darin's words, not Sherlock's. ]

What I do not understand is why the both of you continued the idiotic charade of questioning your relationship months following when you considered yourselves married and in love.

[multidisciplinary]

[ ......... Oh shit. The Ghoul's Moon would be her's and Darin's anniversary. (Well, an anniversary.) ]

... To be perfectly transparent, it did not occur to me that date would be an anniversary to be celebrated. Our relationship was not exactly well defined at that time-- precisely why we continued that "charade," as you call it.

Besides, I should think it common for lovers to struggle to define their relationship early on. Particularly those who become intimate without first declaring a formal courtship with each other.

[astudyinviolet]

[ How can this manage to become even worse? ]

You did not even consider it your anniversary, and so he was throwing himself into a state for no reason.

No, I am not having this conversation. You and Darin need to talk about this for your sake and the sake of everyone else who inadvertently becomes involved in this mess.

[multidisciplinary]

[ It can always get worse, Sherlock. They're both stupid. ]

The subject of anniversaries has not come up between us yet. I wonder why he didn't opt to discuss it with me.

[ It's because her player didn't have the spoons to follow through on this particular plot thread at that time. ]

I suppose I shall have to broach the subject with him soon. For the sake of every poor soul stymied in "our mess." [ /s ]

[astudyinviolet]

[ Does she not see how many people are rooting for her and Darin? They want them to figure this out and be happy. ;~; ]

See to it that you do. Talking will spare yourselves future trouble as well.

[ And then he'll await the pattern being proven true once more. The pattern being various proclamations on the shellphone leads to marriage in this world. ]
