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.

[ hm. she already has an idea who this might be. ]

Perhaps a student might fear the presentation of their works-
And yet you may be something else entirely, child.
After all, a student reads what they are told; a scholar dives headlong into their craft.
It is not assignment or rubric that compels you.

Three.
I hope you consider my invitation seriously, Junna Hoshimi.

[ The only one she's met here who calls her 'child' is Binah, and so there's a nervous thrill of uncertainty when she reads the new post with a furrowed brow. A strange woman. Intimidating, in a lot of ways. Fascinating all the same. ]

You got it right on the first try, Miss Binah.
I think I'll accept. You seem to know so much, it's hard for me not to want to hear your thoughts.

Knowledge and experience often arrive hand-in-hand.
And yet, just as often, time erodes away those pillars one has worked to erect.

I cannot promise insight. But should you have questions, I would be happy to answer.

"What I do not know, I do not think I know." Plato. Or to be more precise, you only really start being wise when you realize there's so much you don't know. Knowledge and experience, together.

If I can think of any, I will be sure to ask. I'm afraid I don't know where to start.

"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing." Just how wise do you claim to be, child?

[ it's teasing. it's mockery. it's good-natured. it's cruel. who can tell, behind the mask of text? ]

Then talk of whatever comes to mind.
I am old now, and the sights of the world can stoke the flame no longer.
Yet I never seem to grow weary of listening.

[takehold]

I can't claim to be all that wise.
I decided to forgo any kind of secure profession and follow the stage, after all!

[egomitochdavar]

Then you are either more wise or more foolish than you realize.
Regardless of where truth may lie, there will be entertainment in your words.

[takehold]

Perhaps it's both.
