video; un: saxitup | two truths, one lie

[saxsongs]

Hello! Some of you might remember me, but in case you don't - my name is Ren Jinguji. I returned during New Years and I'm resuming my work as an idol!

[With rewnewed energy, as one might notice from his annoyingly sparkling smile.]

But that's not why I'm making this post, really. I want to propose a game! Something so we can get to know each other better.

This is, two truths, one lie. Write three things about yourself, one of which is a lie. Others will have to guess which one it is. Of course, you can also reply as a video or a voice message, if that's easier.

Simple, right? Let's have fun.

1. I got expelled from academy at home.
2. I have an older sister.
3. I designed my hammer and built it with my partner.

[roundandaround]

2? But I dunno... I'm not sure.

[malleiform]

You got the lie. I'm an only child.

[roundandaround]

Okay! This game is kinda fun, isn't it? Ren-san always knows what'll interest a crowd.

[malleiform]

It is pretty interesting to have an opportunity to learn about the others who were pulled here.

It's a welcome change of pace.

[roundandaround]

Yeah, we should do these kinds of games more often! People always play them at parties, but still.

[malleiform]

Do they? I have to admit, I've never been to a party where a game like this is played. Though the parties I've been to haven't been particularly exciting, either.

[roundandaround]

Yeah, at least around here they do! I guess it's something easy that you can do anywhere.

[hypothreaticals]

Since someone else already guessed 2, I'd like to guess that 3 is the lie because your partner is the one who designed your hammer.

[That feels like a potentially tricky way to trip someone up!]

[malleiform]

I did design it, and we built it together. I call it the Mercury Hammer.

[hypothreaticals]

That's VERY impressive. Why is it called the Mercury Hammer? Is it because of something unique about the design?

[malleiform]

I just liked the name. I guess that's the most simple explanation for why most things get called something, huh?

[hypothreaticals]

That is probably true. But it works when it's a good name!

I see that it was 2! I should have guessed that you were an only child. I've guessed that a few times in this game and I know a LOT of only children. 😂

[malleiform]

It is a great name. At least I think so. I'm also biased.

I think any of them are fair guesses when you're talking to a stranger. I am also really close to someone who's kind of like a little sister. So while I was technically an only child, I do know what it's like to have a younger sister.

I'm Jayce, by the way.

[hypothreaticals]

I think you're allowed to be biased when it's your invention!

That's true. It's nice that you were close to someone like that. [Anxiety hesitates, typing Is she here? and then deleting it.] I'd ask what her name is but

Oh you told me before I could ask! It's nice to meet you, Jayce. I'm Anxiety.

[malleiform]

Caitlyn. So if you happen to hear of anyone by her name, it's fine to send her my way.

[ Because he'd like to see her, anyway. ]

Anxiety? Is that a nickname?

[ What. ]

[hypothreaticals]

I'll remember. Where or how should I tell her she can find you?

[Right, this is a much more confusing and somewhat-nerve-wracking introduction than usual.]

No, it's who I am, and what I am. I'm an emotion. Back home, I was the emotion of a particular person, but apparently she isn't here.

[malleiform]

If you see her, just tell her Jayce is looking for her. She'll probably know where to look.

[ Like the research center. ]

An emotion? Like - a living...emotion? Sorry if I'm being rude, but that's totally foreign to me.

[hypothreaticals]

All right, I can do that!

No no, it's not rude. But, yes. I'm alive, and I am an emotion! It's obviously a lot more normal for me, but being totally separate from the person I'm supposed to be a part of is definitely not normal, so it's taking some getting used to.

[malleiform]

...Interesting. Well, a lot of things here are very strange and take time. You'll figure it out.
