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 the name of a plant isn't it?

[kingside]

And that of your horse-adjacent steed.

[at_heart]

Yeah but the horse is named after the plant

Which is something horses like to eat on my planet

[kingside]

People's names in other languages don't translate literally. Why would it be different for a horse?

[at_heart]

I mean some people's names definitely translate literally

[ Just because you haven't met Crow That Heralds the Red Rain yet. ]

[kingside]

[... Hell.]

So it's entirely arbitrary and teaches us nothing. Typical.
I'm going to find a picture of thistle from my world at the library and show it to you. If if matches what you recall, then both our worlds do indeed have thistle.

[at_heart]

Honestly now I'm hoping this place also has a thistle but that it's totally unrecognizable to both of us

[kingside]

I hate the way you think.

[at_heart]

And yet somehow I feel complimented

[kingside]

Because you're depraved, apparently.

[at_heart]

Sure but what does that have to do with anything

[ By some standards? Absolutely. ]

[kingside]

[To do with—no, it's probably just a joke. Or so he thought up until the maid café]

At least you're thinking at all.

[at_heart]

Most people think all the time actually
It just doesn't always seem like it because they still make terrible decisions

[kingside]

[Oh, if only he could introduce Yuri to Tamaki.]

Functionally identical.

[at_heart]

[ Have you considered: Tamaki's just very stupid. ]

I can think of a few differences
Either way it feels an awful lot like you just complimented me for not being technically brain dead

[kingside]

[Not untrue. Also, oh, Yuri. You'll learn.]

Your point?

[at_heart]

Yikes @ all your friends past and present who didn't do something about this before it got so bad

[kingside]

My friends are occasionally the worst offenders, in fact.

[at_heart]

Enablers?

[kingside]

People with limited brain activity.

[... Okay, so Suzaku isn't actually that bad, but shh.]

[at_heart]

With friends like you Lelouch

[kingside]

I assure you, they knew what they were getting into.

[... With the possible exception of Shirley.]
