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.

It's a great way to get to know new people.

Uhh - I'll guess 3. I don't know what that is so I have to guess it.

[hypothreaticals]

I can see that! Getting to learn interesting things about someone right away works very well as a conversation starter.

You're right! They're a band our dad really likes. They're okay, but none of us like yacht rock THAT much.

[verytired]

It's a great conversation starter.

So a band, then? I've never heard of yacht rock. I guess the underworld doesn't have things like that. It's mostly just Orpheus.

What kind of music do you like, then?

[hypothreaticals]

Talking about music seems to be a good one in general too.

Yacht rock is like soft rock, I think? But extra smooth and catchy and sincere. I'm not entirely sure, but it's pretty recognizable when you've heard it enough.

Wait, Orpheus? Like Orpheus and Eurydice? [He's saying "underworld" too... Huh.]

Are you from the Greek underworld?

Oh, I mostly like pop music. Energetic songs! I'm starting to appreciate slower, more relaxing music too, though.

[verytired]

Yep, that Orpheus. I mean, we don't call it the "Greek" Underworld. But yeah, I'm from the Underworld! I work for Lord Hades.

Not too much. I live up to being the god of sleep. I tend to like more mellow music.

[hypothreaticals]

Wow, I know a few of the stories! Not that many, but stories about Greek heroes and gods are really fascinating.

[She definitely typed and then frantically erased "Greek mythology" in that sentence there.]

You might like some yacht rock then! I don't mean that as an insult. It can be very mellow! But you're the god of sleep, I have a friend back home who would like you. 😊

[verytired]

They can be, I think. I'm personally a fan of the Minotaur. Even had a friend of mine get me his signature when he ran into him in the Underworld. The Olympians cause so much trouble, though, so I try to stick to my family and the Underworld most.

I wouldn't take it as one! Oh? What's the friend like?

[hypothreaticals]

Oh, I've heard a little about the Minotaur, but not the full story. I'd love to hear it sometime, especially if you wanted his autograph.

The Olympians definitely sounded like a handful, I totally get it. I'd rather avoid trouble myself.

Ennui is very cool, in a collected way. She's pretty much always bored, but that's kind of her thing, and she might act like she doesn't care but she does just as much as any of us. (don't tell her I said that 😉) She likes to sleep in when she can and lounge around most of the time.

[verytired]

I'm glad to share it. The Labyrinth is pretty cool, anyway.

Oh, they are. I'm glad that I don't have to deal with them much.

Sleeping and lounging are my top two favorite activities. Now with cats, too.

[hypothreaticals]

Is it? What's it like? And I'd love to hear the story sometime.

Oh, with cats? Do you have pets? I love cats and puppies, even if we've never had a pet ourselves...

[verytired]

I'll be happy to tell it, then!

I have a lot of cats. Well, kind of. I run the cat cafe!

[hypothreaticals]

A cat cafe? I've heard of those, but I've never been to one! I think there's something similar in San Francisco but you need to buy a ticket to get in, and they adopt out their cats.

What district are you in? I might like to come visit 😺

[verytired]

Spring. It's in Blossomcrown. I think the teleport crystal can help get you here pretty fast. I lose track sometimes.

And yeah! People can adopt cats, too. I've never seen anything like it before. Which isn't surprising not like the Underworld needs a cat cafe. But you should come by and visit and say hi. I'm the tall gray guy who is always there!
