My my, what a time it has been. Arrests, releases, and a soiree? I'm surprised we have time to breathe. Creators, and I still need to visit a barber for a trim, but alas I have much paperwork to complete.

So, since I am woefully unfortunate and haven't the time for even a single game of cards, I've a verbal game to request for those who have the time. Everyone else who's busy being serious or sulking in a corner, please feel free to ignore but understand you're always welcome to play. I always have time for you.

A simple game. Two truths and a lie. Play with me or each other, it doesn't matter, but I like a bit of entertainment during droll times such as these. If you're unfamiliar with the rules, it's rather simple:

Tell me three statements about yourself. Two should be truthful and one should be a lie, and I must guess which one is a lie. I would prefer if you didn't use statistics as an easy way out, such as "I have three brothers" is the lie when you really have two. Get creative, please.

I'll gladly begin:

I used to be part of a crew of pirates, I was going to be a halla herder, and I have a tattoo on my right arm.

[ She contemplates ignoring this, like she does for most of Fate's messages. But curiosity is a wicked fiend, and she's bored enough to see if it's worth trying to wrangle some information out of Fate. Of course, the trick will be doing so without letting too much information about herself go.

It'll be good practice. ]

You were going to be a First, the Second is in charge of the halla. That is the lie.

[ Of course, that's an assumption based on how her clan does it. ]

The beast I hunted to earn my vallaslin was a wolf, I also have a tattoo on my arm, and I am the youngest child in my family.

[wickedchase]

I'm so flattered you remember that about me. Have me on the mind?

[He chuckles quietly.]

I don't think the beast you hunted for your vallaslin was a wolf. They seem... to give you a hard time.

[arlathvhen]

[ She is glad this is over crystal so she can take a few moments to SEETHE. You are such an ass!!! She only speaks when she feels like she can control her voice enough to sound properly imperious. ]

You're correct, it wasn't a wolf. Amusingly, the beast I did kill...was related to that incident. A little more dangerous than wolves, normally.

--And remembering something like that is hardly flattering. I recalled it because I find it that much more disappointing that someone with so much responsibility fled it. Now that I know you better, of course, it's not quite as surprising.

[ You wanna go. ]

[dalishious]

That's the dumbest game I've heard of in a while.

[wickedchase]

You haven't heard of the dumbest one to ever exist, then. Ever hear of "sink mud"?

[dalishious]

No, but I'm sure you're about to tell me.

[ombranera]

I am actually the bastard of an Antivan Merchant Prince, I have once been married, I was once propositioned by Oghren.

[wickedchase]

You, married? That couldn't be truth.

[justice_is_blond]

Everyone has been propositioned by Oghren. There was a signpost he propositioned once.

[justice_is_blond]

[...oh, sure, why not.]

For my first escape from the Circle, I hid in a barrel that was being returned to the mainland. My fifth, I swam over ten miles to shore. For my eighth and last, I wore Templar armor.

I hear your lie's already been called out, so perhaps you've another set?

[wickedchase]

I don't know that I quite buy the Templar armor one. You seem a bit short for it. [Says the elf.]

Of course. My first time being chased by Templars I convinced them that I would place the curse of Fen'Harel on them if they tried to take me in, I once had a dwarven partner with a peg leg, and I used to be romantically involved with an elven assassin.

[fleurdesel]

[ Normally this is not something she'd indulge in, but something light, something frivolous? Is more than required. ]

There was a mishap when I was an apprentice with a rather benign ritual that caused me to speak backwards, to celebrate becoming a mage I made a spiral slide from the top of the White Spire to the front gates and everyone that used it was violently ill when they finished including several knight captains, I have never met my youngest sibling.

[wickedchase]

The first one? [He's rather curious. All of those statements are relatively interesting.]

[gatheringstorm]

...sure, why the hell not. Though come up with something new, since yours was called out.

[As for herself.]

I'm mildly allergic to vitaar, I was the youngest member to join the Valo-Kas, and my first lover had a thing for lightning magic.

[wickedchase]

A shame, really. Hmm, the first one?

My partner and I "stole" an Orlesian judge's mistresses after we infiltrated his party, I was the youngest in my generation to earn his vallaslin, and I once shaved my head completely.

[dragoon_pride]

Very well, challenge accepted.

[Fine, fine, he’ll play. Only because at the moment he's hanging out on a tower hiding from a parrot... and also needing distractions from his thoughts in general.]

I've traveled to the moon, I've spoken in person with a goddess, and I'm secretly afraid of heights.

[wickedchase]

The first one sounds like a complete lie. Who's ever been to the moon?

[arsebiscuit]

I'm plotting something for you. I'm getting my room. I don't think your name's stupid.

[wickedchase]

It's the second one, obviously.

[nothief]

[The game sounds fun. The problem is, he doesn't want to tell any truths. What harm in there is cheating for a little bit as long as it's all in good fun, right?]

I was once marooned and had to eat a parrot to survive, I've single handedly slain a dragon, and I've gone up against six dwarves in a drinking competition and won. [He gives the elf a confident, lopsided smile.]

[wickedchase]

The poor parrot. I doubt you've slain a dragon on your own, though.

[aggregiopavali]

... Has Isabela put you up to this?

[wickedchase]

Isabela doesn't need to encourage me to play games. I encourage myself.

What about you, Fenris? Up for one?

WOW HOW DID I MISS THIS

[keeperofmagi]

[Nerva frowns when she hears the statements, realising just how little she actually knows about Fate. And then she thinks about the tattoo and-- No. That is not where she is going to allow her thoughts to go.]

[But since Beleth answered his, surely she can get away with simply offering her own? Alright. She can do this. Two truths and one lie.]

I once had to fetch a mage who had crawled into a drain pipe and gotten himself stuck. The scar on my nose is from a bird, rather than a battle. And I - ah - don't enjoy pie.

[wickedchase]

[Twisted Fate greatly approves. She's playing with him.]

The last one. How could you not enjoy pie?
