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.

It is. I do see the benefits of being able to swim, but I'm unable to do it due to eating my devil fruit. Despite being on a ship there are enough swimmers to help me if I happen to fall overboard.

[Sanji alone would make sure that nothing would happen to her, though she knows all her friends would help.]

( there's a weird ass flutter in his chest as vash presses that innocent little kiss to his hand. that's so stupid and embarrassing; he thinks to get annoyed about it, but besides a slight pinch in his brow, he doesn't do anything or say anything.

probably good, because vash actually approaches what just happened in a surprising turn of events. wolfwood did not expect that at all.

he doesn't respond right away, instead just continues watching vash for a few silent moments. he wets his lips, unintentionally chasing the taste of vash on them. )

Ask.

Oryou... is Oryou. Oryou is immune to bullets, breathes fire and poison, and can heal people. Oryou's husband is a human named Ryouma, who is also here. Oryou's favorite food is frogs.

Are those the kinds of things you wanted to know?

We ended up competing against the top idol group in our school so the rules would change and give others a little more freedom during performances and lives. I know it doesn't sound big, but it's really big in our school.

[divino]

Sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you.
I figured this would be the easiest way to find more people in my world.

Am I right about the bow-croissants, though?

[kingside]

[the dumbest fucking world-building yes you are correct and I am sorry] [Well, she's not completely off-base.]

America never got off the ground in my version of Earth, and that whole experiment was later subsumed by Britannia itself when we lost the British Isles.

[bountyfull]

[He needs to know what to think. Wether he should run like every inch of his body is telling him he should do, or if he can push those doors open just a little. Despite that, when told to ask? He blinks a little, his expression dropping into something both confused and somehow worried. He shifts slightly, his hand on Wolfwood flexing a little against the fabric of his shirt.

He swallows, eyes watching Wolfwood's mouth for a moment.

The silence is heavy, but not oppressive, perhaps a little electric considering the state of Vash's nerves. He's got Wolfwood trapped where he is at the moment, and perhaps it's that slight advantage that has him finally using his words.]

...What was it?

[happydreamed]

Ah, that truly is a shame. Perhaps if you find some you could send them to me.

[kingside]

[He kind of wants to just. Go sit quietly for a while. Until the world makes sense. Maybe take a nap.]

Is that common among those who eat devil fruit?

[amodelidol]

[Oh yeah there were some members from home here.]

Yep it's 3! I mean we do see her as part of our unit but she always reassures us that she's our support more than anything.

[Now that has him thinking about Anzu. He hoped she was okay.]

[kerontribution]

He is very nice. He has a human here, too.

[kingside]

[... No offense or anything but he is squinting at this so hard.]

You have multiple idol groups in your school. Is the entirety of your student population comprised of idol groups or are just the most prominent students idols?

[roundandaround]

This feels like a trick, and I don't get it.

[divino]

Did you go into all those competitions already
convinced you'd lose?

[dereban]

I have no reason to trick anyone... at least, not yet.

[happydreamed]

[...Hm.]

The last place I was in, the management held almost control over us. They could destroy our bodies or twist our minds at their whims. They had eyes and ears on us at all times.

I suppose I should be glad they had little interest in philosophy.

[tireurdelite]

Well, yes, but it's Diamant.

[trueholy]

I would not say my life had those luxuries either, the food exploration sometimes just came as a perk to the job I was performing.
But yes, that was a lie.
It was actually my apprentice who did that.

[trueholy]

You flatter me.
Perhaps a little too much.

[ There was a loooong pause between those last texts. ]

[roached]

I'm no expert on this kind of thing, so sorry if I take too long to respond.
Just giving it some thought, you know?
To be honest, I am surprised I got it right.

[Since it might take some minutes or so to Really Think It Over in between messages.]

I do know that anyone or anything can become a beast.
Either if one chose to become one themselves or the world changes them into one despite their feelings.
I also know that power comes with it's risks. It can backfire and you can lose everything in the end.

[roached]

The little things like that sometimes makes the job easier.
And hey, it sounds like your apprentice had a good time. Must have been a great tale to hear at the end of the day.

[nihilmancy]

[ Hmm! There's a certain part of her, from her upbringing, which agrees. There's a larger part that finds this whole ideology wretched. But she's better off not picking a fight about it. ]

Perhaps they are. What steps are you taking in pursuit of that duty, your Highness?

excellent [taps fingers]

[roached]

Hey, you got some understanding at least.

[Just a small combo of burger and fries for him since it's easier to eat a smaller sandwich with one hand.]

I do have to say some stuff to you about Lobotomy Corp though. It might not be something you would like to hear, but... [He pauses to gather up his words as he picks out a corner seat for two over there.]

I guess I think it's still something you should know.

[abnormalizes]

What is it?

[Nothing will really surprise Evangeline about it at this point. If they've done something awful that she doesn't know about already, she probably won't even blink.]

[roached]

Last time I checked, District L was Wingless. Lobotomy Corporation has fallen and been gone for a while now in my time.

[He's not too smart on the subject, but he's trying here-]

I say "my time" since we are obviously both from The City, but time could be different from when we got dragged into this place. Like it was still running and going before you showed up, right?
