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.

[... Where the hell does he begin.]

3. Either it wasn't a healing spell or it wasn't dessert.

[Or he's wrong. That's also possible. Just, sorry, eyeball plants?]

[happydreamed]

I'm afraid three is entirely true, and missing some of the stranger details besides.

[kingside]

Fair.

Why do the plants have eyeballs?

[He'll get to asking more about three in a second, just. Explain, please.]

[happydreamed]

Why does anything have eyeballs?

[kingside]

Thank you, that was the worst possible answer.

What sort of dessert was it?

[happydreamed]

You're welcome.

It was manjuu.

[kingside]

How did that lead to learning a healing spell?

[Putting all thoughts of eyeball plants out of his head now. Or trying to.]

[happydreamed]

As it happened, it was a favor for a seller who had a delivery to make but could not remember where the customer lived. Once I delivered the food and returned to report success, the seller repaid me by teaching me a song, and it popped into my head as if I'd always known it.

He also gave me a discount on manjuu, of course.

[kingside]

That was generous of him.

[He assumes. Hopes. Whichever.]

[happydreamed]

Was it? To teach a song is free, after all.

[kingside]

I agree that a song with healing properties should not be restricted information. Primarily, I certainly hope that you made use of the discount.

[happydreamed]

I'm not terribly fond of manjuu, as it happens.

[kingside]

[Welp.]

Then I certainly hope you told him off afterward.

[happydreamed]

Ah, no. The healing song was good enough.

[kingside]

[... At least that's consistent across universes. Not that that's a good thing.]

There you are, then.

[happydreamed]

Incidentally, you've belatedly received your answer about my least favorite dessert.

[kingside]

Ah. That bad? I've never tried it.

[happydreamed]

Bad associations can make any food unpalatable.

[kingside]

[... Hmm.]

True. I'll leave it at that, then.

[Unless Kantera feels like speaking more on the subject.]

[happydreamed]

Thank you for your courtesy.

[kingside]

Of course.
