video; un: saxitup | two truths, one lie

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 couple thousand years old, actually! It was played by a famous bard where I'm from!

I've ridden a dragon! I'm good friends with one at home. I don't' see any rules against multiple guesses .𖥔 ݁ ˖๋ ࣭ ⭑

My favorite wine is actually something called Dandelion Wine. You made a very good attempt, though!

Oh WOW. Are you actually a bard yourself, then? I wasn't certain. Do you play the older classic songs or make your own, or both?

Being friends with a dragon sounds even better than getting to ride one. That's what I was thinking, but I wanted to leave it up to you!

Oh... I haven't heard of Osmanthus but I have heard of dandelions, so maybe that should have been easier to guess, LOL. Thanks!

I am. The best of the best where I'm from, hehe~!

I think they're more popular where I'm from than other places.


[ He's delighted to share. ]

I do both the classics and make up my own stories. But I am just a fan of all sorts of stories. But riding on a dragon isn't just a story. If you were in my world, I could probably get him to give you a ride, too!

He's the best~ I've heard not a lot of people get a chance to do it so I like to brag a little bit about it.

That's incredible! It sounds like a real accomplishment, I'd love to be able to hear you perform sometime. 🎶

Ohh, flying like that sounds like it could be dangerous -- but I know a few people who would LOVE something like that, LOL!

I believe you, though. Do you make up stories for all the songs you compose or do you sing about true things too? Have you made any songs about your friend?
[That sounded like a fun way to brag for someone who was such a passionate bard!]

It's perfectly safe if you're with me! Friend privileges!

I tell a lot of true stories. Even stuff about my friend. Sometimes it's about things that were happened. It's kind of like teaching history. But a lot more fun. Most things are more fun when put to music.

I also like to make stuff up sometimes because it should be entertaining.

I believe you! [Or believed he meant that. Whether that would be enough to get Anxiety to try it was another story...]

Oh, so it's history, but like "based on a true story" sometimes? That kind of thing CAN be fun, and it's also a lot easier to remember things set to music.

Have you made any music about this place?

I mean, it really just is history. Just easier to learn because it's much. I always remember things better with music, too.

[ Doesn't understand the 'based on a true story' thing. ]

I haven't. I should, but I haven't. It's not hit the right inspiration for me. Maybe sometime, though. ]
hypothreaticals: those words mean nothing (slow down)

So your songs can help you remember too 😊 That's convenient!

I think music is one of those things where your heart has to be in it, right? I'd be just as happy to hear songs about your world as ones about this place, anyway.

It is! I always hope that they genuinely help people! History is important, after all.

It does. I think you have to really believe it and love it to do it. The others here seem to like them, too. Probably because it's neat to learn about other places.

History is DEFINITELY important. We don't want to repeat mistakes, after all. Other people's or our own.

So I'm sure they do help!

I haven't tried to make music myself, but I do like listening to it. It's interesting to learn new things, but I wonder if they also like them because they like learning more about you? After all, it's your world and your music.

Maybe. The stories are way more exciting than I could ever hope to be. But I guess how I tell them could tell others about me, too. Hehe~

It's worth finding something fun that you really want to do here. Enjoy the freedom.
