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's a good guess, but incorrect. While I've had... let's use the term "physical relationships" to keep things suitable for all audiences, I've never properly courted anyone.

When it came to the society I was raised in, the elven forest, I think I mentioned to you before, relationships were utilitarian in nature. Being honest to your feelings on such things is seen as uncouth.

So, it has only been roughly a couple of years since I've shaken off those feelings.

It sounds like a terrible place to live, though I guess that's the pot calling the kettle black here.

I really want the second one to be true, that name's so cool.

[attempted_purity]

Yes, I believe you mentioned that we would have been outcasts together.

You have chosen correctly! The first one is the incorrect one. While elven society did not respect me, my father has ever been supportive.

[abnormalizes]

That's good to hear. Having a family you can rely on makes everything just a little easier.

[attempted_purity]

I agree. Does that mean you and your parents are close?

[abnormalizes]

Yeah! They've always taken really good care of me. I send them some of my L Corp paycheck every month so that hopefully they can eventually move to somewhere nicer.

[Significantly nicer.]

[attempted_purity]

That's lovely to hear. Maybe one day if we can travel between worlds, you can introduce me to them. I would introduce you to my parents as well, of course.

Oh, though while cubi are quite libertine, please consider any of my familial relations "off limits". At least the ones older than myself.

[abnormalizes]

I'll promise that if you promise the same thing for my parents, because that would be really weird for me.

[attempted_purity]

Absolutely. I was being more diplomatic, but having you try to "get with" either of my parents would be uncomfortable.

I wouldn't have said anything, but if situations were reversed where my mother had been brought here instead of myself, you would've gotten along quite well.

[abnormalizes]

I promise I have self-restraint. At least a little bit.

[attempted_purity]

I'm sure you do, thank you.
I've been talking about dates elsewhere, would you like to go on a proper date sometime?
Your visit was quite lovely, but I feel like you deserve some proper courting.

[abnormalizes]

Oh, I'd love to! That sounds like a lot of fun. I didn't get to dress up for you last time.

[attempted_purity]

Perfect, I'd love to get dressed up for you as well.
Why don't you message me privately and we can work out the details?

[abnormalizes]

Absolutely.
