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.

[There is a long delay because Red Son not being judged? At least somewhat? In part because of his parents? That he could in exist in any aspect of his life without there being some connection?????]

[Sounds fake.]

Well, I would not say its a sin. Just because someone is evil doesn't make their love evil as well, that would just be a silly conclusion to make. Emotions are entirely devoid of moral alignment on their own.

But interlopers, especially strong ones, are not ones they're ever excited for.

[happydreamed]

[too bad, you're being accepted as an individual and there's nothing you can do about it]

Fair enough. I can't say I'd be excited to have uninvited guests on my lawn either.

[forgingfires]

[What is this nonsense, how does he just be accepted as himself.]

Ha! Yes, there is also that. I daresay they have become quite testy with the idea after Sun Wukong's foolishness.

[happydreamed]

Quite understandably.

My household might have bad history with some demons, but it isn't an issue with those here. There's no reason we can't get along.

[forgingfires]

I suppose that makes sense if you have no history with my family. Demons are as varied as any living creature when it comes to whether or not they're pleasant to deal with.

There is no reason we couldn't. I'm more concerned with going home over attempting to conquer this place and that usually stops most fights I have with people.

[happydreamed]

Entirely reasonable. Though if you were looking for fights, my wife quite enjoys a good spar.

[And he has every confidence that Saya can stand up to a demon.]

[forgingfires]

What kind of fighter is she and how hard does she hit?

[happydreamed]

Primarily a swordswoman and very, very hard. And fast.

[forgingfires]

I suppose it has been a long time since I trained properly against someone with a sword. I'll consider it. I'm not sure if making another bullclone production is worth my time here and it would be ill advised to get rusty just because I can't train against the drones.

[happydreamed]

Here's my wife, Saya's contact information.

[link!]

Let me know if you decide to visit so I can put on some tea for you.

[forgingfires]

You'll need to brew it and then scald the drink after the tea leaves are removed. The only acceptable cold tea is milk tea and normal brewing temperature is too cold for me.

[happydreamed]

Thank you for letting me know, I'll be sure to prepare it to your specifications.

My name is Kantera, by the way. Pleased to meet you.

[forgingfires]

My name is Red Son. You were fairly pleasant to talk to.

[happydreamed]

[oh, this is a tsundere.]

Thank you. I do try to be.

[forgingfires]

[He is so painfully tsundere. Literally the only people he is unhindered in admitting his care is his parents despite how much the main two heroes have decided he is definitely their sixth ranger while he screams about being a villain.]

Personally, I never saw the appeal, but it does make for a nice conversation.

How DID you learn a healing spell with a dessert order?

[happydreamed]

I did a favor for a manjuu seller who had forgotten what apartment building he had to deliver an order to, and he taught me a spell in thanks. And also provided a discount on his goods.

[forgingfires]

That must have been some favor. Or a very generous manjuu seller.

[happydreamed]

He was quite stressed about it at the time, as I recall.

[forgingfires]

[There is a pause.]

Maybe that's just how it is with delivery drivers. I've seen the Noodle Boy as stressed about deliveries at times as he has been about the hero work.

[happydreamed]

Pardon, but is that a nickname or his actual name?

[forgingfires]

I suppose you could say its a nickname.

Not that I know his actual name, I've only heard his friends call him MK.

[happydreamed]

That's a relief.

[Imagine naming a child Noodle Boy and then they didn't like noodles...]

Is he a professional hero? I've heard of those in other worlds.

[Are you from My Hero Academia, Red Son?]

[forgingfires]

The pig demon may be upfront in his naming schemes, but I know he's not so thick headed to see that as a proper name. I rather suspect he's the most sensible of the lot.

[At least HE treats Red Son like a threat, even when they have to team up.]

No. He's the Monkey King's successor, and there's nothing professional about Sun Wukong.

[happydreamed]

I don't know anything about Sun Wukong. Do you have any interesting stories?

[forgingfires]

Wait.

You've never heard of the Monkey King?
