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.

Yeah I'm mostly not
You're the first one to actually call me on it tho

[nihilmancy]

Regardless the first one is correct, though it would seem that you've misunderstood what I meant. I simply realized that I'd rather live as a woman than as a man, so I did.

Only demons could perform the sort of transformations that you allude to. Unless we're speaking of medical technology, altering the sexual characteristics of the body.

[at_heart]

[ ...only demons. Right. Well. ]

Congrats on figuring that out
Sorry about uh [ look, he is trying to ignore other people's conversations until he's guessed or resigned himself to not guessing, but ] your world not being awesome about it

[nihilmancy]

It's rather the opposite. It's not something considered very controversial at all where I'm from. Some of the media I've tracked down since coming here seems to imply that that isn't always the case.

The "not awesome" part is the second one. Hereditary nobility and monarchy is not ideal.

[at_heart]

Oh
That's better

Or at least sucky in a pretty typical way

[ He also has the monarchy and nobility to deal with, but one of the things his CRAU definitely taught him was to be grateful he didn't have the same kind of strict gender bullshit on his world. ]

[nihilmancy]

I'm afraid so.

But as a noble myself, my opinions on the matter are distorted, and I shall not pretend to have been the most dogged of class traitors.

[ She's still young, after all. ]

[ l, lip quirk ]

Don't be too hard on yourself
I'm sure you're doing great

[nihilmancy]

Every morning I draw a little picture of a crown and spit on it, and despair that it is insufficient to liberate the cosmos from bondage. Not even drawing a little guy in the regalia of the Vermillion King getting shot is enough to bring true liberty. I must not be trying hard enough. As cynical closet republicans go, I'm a failure.

I'm just kidding. I shall let the sordid depths of my political opinions remain an enigma for the time being.

[ ...He likes you a lot. ]

Just gotta topple one regime at a time I guess

Workers of all worlds unite.

[ Could say something snarky, could definitely suggest eating the rich and sucking the marrow from their bones — but he's a little too charmed by the particular wording to be anything but genuine. ]

That'd be nice

[nihilmancy]

Just kidding. I would never advocate seditious rhetoric.

[ The wink is almost visible through the text. Was she even sincere? Who knows. ]

If people from our home planets manage to track us down here I'm gonna say they've earned the right to throw us in jail
