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.

In talking to other people about feelings?

that would help?

[He doesn't understand how.]

In case you get into another argument with someone?

[Said the awkward penguin.]

oh. that will not be necessary. should they take issue with what i was, we can discuss such matters face to face.

...Will it involve a fight?

it may if it must.

...If that happens, let me know. I can try to talk to them.

i still do not understand why you would wish to do that.

...Because it's the right thing to do?

should i not be the one to speak with them? even after conflict?

Well, you should but it's always nice to have someone who can help you out.

but why would you help me?

[There's a pause, but more text comes.]

is there something you require aid with?

...No.

I just thought it would be nice to help you.

what if you are harmed in the process?

[Not that most live after Oswald's done with them, but point being...]

...Then I might have to fight them.

But I hope it doesn't come to that.

...Alright then. But I just want you to be safe.
