If this adventure with chain mail has taught me anything, 'tis that many of us here are having our first exposure to the internet, with all its amusements and pitfalls included. Thus, I thought it might be nice to introduce another 'getting to know each other' game that some of us might not know yet. This one won't involve pictures or ratings of attractiveness, not to worry.

This game is called 'two truths and a lie'. The premise is simple. You list three statements about yourself, two true and one false. Ideally they should all be similar levels of unbelievable. Then, other people respond to you to guess which one is the lie. We all learn a little about each other and have a bit of fun.

I can speak Italian well enough, though perhaps not as good in writing.

[ That is untranslated Italian I am just sparing everyone the need to translate it, namely me I'm sparing myself ]

Always nice to hear, however you meant it.

The goal is to live truthfully, yes. Fortunately I'm terrible at lies and secrets, it makes things easier.

A good use of time if I've ever heard it!

Do you have a priority to start with?

[ She almost says "I know" but deletes it once she realizes. ]

Yes. If one only does easy things it tends to be out of weakness, and I have no interest in that. My family may be gone, but that hasn't changed. [ Yes, her whole family. Several different iterations of it. ]

I agree, but that might be because I'm terrible at it.

Diamant is still better than me. That isn't my issues talking, he's beaten me in every archery contest we've ever done. That's just the truth.
sangreine: happy (quiet laughter by enlaire)

okay!

I'd love to! Hearing about her sounds great. Tell me stories anytime.

My eyes glow, but I'm sure they're useful for others.

Huh, like fries? I guess that makes sense.

Being without food sounds awful. I guess maybe a compass and things like that too, huh. Stuff for tracking.

Cubi? Are you from a race similar to Naama?

I guess people can do both. I never had a knack for academics, except language. And music, if that counts at all.

Are you not a normal human? I only ask because I'm not human at all.

Oryou... sort of knows witches. But they might be different where you're from.

[They're pretty obscure in the Nasuverse, honestly.]

All the time? Mine only glow when I'm concentrating.

Fries have less texture to them. All the crunch is in the outside. With locusts, the crunch goes all the way through. I don't know if that explanation makes sense.

Oh. Um. He's a guy that gives presents every Christmas? Which is a holiday where you. Give and get presents and stuff.
I mean, technically it's to celebrate a religious figure? But really a lot of people ignore that part now. Even atheists celebrate it and

Look you really don't have to worry too much about it?? It's not that important!


[ she is trying. SO HARD. to not explain that she had sex with evil santa, okay!! ]

Oh, you're familiar with Naama? Yes, we're similar. We share an apartment here, actually.

The origins of her people are different from my own, but we share some of our needs, and physical features.

Although, in my case, I'm a succubus on my mother's side and an elf on my father's side.

WHY!! DOES EVERYONE!! ALREADY KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME SUPER WELL!!!!

[ listen. she was so proud okay!! ]

It's actually a lot less convenient than you'd think. I didn't have hands or fingers or anything? So like. I had to get help opening doors.

I mean I probably could have just broken them down pretty easily but.
That seems rude???

[How does she know??? surely yuuto isn't very obvious??? he absolutely is.]

I'm not, sorry. I don't deceive to be malicious.

What I'm called really varies between worlds, but I guess that "concept" is a good word for it? It's nice to meet you.

Mm. Words can translate different, have different meanings. For us, a Witch is one who uses Heka to work with paraphysical entities. Demons, colloquially. You would qualify as one, in that parlance.

[ She can't really read everything about her. Even getting a more detailed impression would take hours of observation and research. But she can tell Oryou is very strong. ]

But you are not some abstraction. I'd like to know about you as you.

That's correct, though a compass isn't quite as common in our world as it should be just yet. There are many things I have to consider, once the war that has sieged my home world is over.

[ This is the problem, when your alternate history nation has the same name as the real one which it also is an offshoot of. ]

Oh, yes. An island nation, where industrialization and the full development of the capitalist mode of society originated. It grew rich through colonial exploitation and advanced technology, and it and its offshoot, America, ruled most of the world for quite a while.
