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. My father was the Archbishop of my country.
2. I sometimes dress up as the Azure Rhinoceros.
3. I like birch syrup a little too much.

[hypothreaticals]

I'm guessing 2, but I also mostly want to ask what the Azure Rhinoceros is.

[oftheazure]

I only recently discovered them myself, as I was looking for a good lie to make about my usual costume. They're thick-skinned animals on four legs that have horns on their face.

Usually they're not blue, however, but my costume as the Azure Elephant is.

[Not that it seemed to have been a good lie - or then he just used the wrong animal. Maybe he should have said Blue Lion or something simpler.]

[hypothreaticals]

Oh, we've heard of rhinoceroses before! And elephants. But I'm really curious about your costume. Are you a sports mascot? Or a superhero?

[People seem to be from all kinds of places, here, and magic is real. Maybe superheroes are real in some worlds too?]

[oftheazure]

Oh, I see. My apologies. They do not exist in my world so I assumed where I should not.

I'm quite known back home, so I used the costume to go out to patrol around the adventurer's living area. I could have just gone there, but it would have caused an unnecessary commotion.

[hypothreaticals]

No need to be sorry, I could have been more clear!

Oh, so it was less a costume to attract attention and more like one to avoid it. Or at least get a different kind of attention? Unless that kind of costume is common around there.

[oftheazure]

Exactly. It did attract some attention, but not the kind I am used to. Especially among children, who were delighted.

[hypothreaticals]

Awww. A lot of kids do like mascots! I'm glad none of them were scared of it.

I think it's 2. But I don’t know what a rhinoceros is.

[oftheazure]

They're thick-skinned animals that walk on four legs and have horns on their face.

But regardless of your reasoning, it's the one lie. My outfit is actually the Azure Elephant.

[dreamsofwings]

I don't know if I can even picture that. Actually, I'm not sure what an elephant is either.

I think the second one is the lie.

[oftheazure]

I really should have thought about the many Warriors of Light that are here and know me quite well.

[inlikethebrume]

I actually don't know the animal you mentioned but I think Estinien did say he sent you something to wear.

Is it comfortable?

[oftheazure]

They're definitely different species. Rhinoceros are smaller and have horns on their face.

It is! I actually have the costume with me. It just appeared in my room upon my arrival.

3. There's no such thing as liking syrup too much.

[oftheazure]

I actually would agree with that, but it's what some people say.

It is one of the truths, in the eyes of some.

[hometown]

Those people need to learn to enjoy syrup more.

[oftheazure]

Heh, I quite agree.

Do you have a favorite syrup? I tested 'maple' a while back and it was nice as well.

[hometown]

That's tough to say. Did you know that there's a "pancake house" with over a hundred types of syrup? Blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, maple, caramel, spineapple, cherry, cotton candy — the list goes on. I like to order a random flavor, then try to identify it.

[oftheazure]

I had not heard about that before. Sounds like an interesting idea. Some of those names are foreign to me, but I am definitely open for new tastes.

I'm especially curious about 'spineapple'. That sounds interesting.

[hometown]

You might know spineapple by the name "pineapple." Spineapple makes more sense as a name, though. The fruit is covered in spines.

[ Granted, Reiner came up with the name while drunk, but he stands by it. ]

[oftheazure]

That is quite a good name. But it also does look a bit like a pine cone, don't you think?

I'm just not quite sure how apples relate to them.

[hometown]

Maybe they grow in trees, like apples do.

[oftheazure]

You learn something new everyday.

Would you be so kind as to accompany me to this pancake place sometime?
