Hey who’s up for a little game of Two Truths And A Lie? You write down three sentences, two of which are true and one that’s a lie. People guess which is true and what's BS. Who’s down?

I’ll start:
I have less students in my homeroom than I do fingers on my hand
I once saw a man fold himself in half six times
One of my best friends is a panda

[[OoC: This is an open post for everyone, so feel free to post your own replies and reply to others!]]

oh sweet these are fun!!!

I'm going with #1 for your side

and here's mine!!!

1) i have a leg made out of rocket-ship parts from when i crashed on the moon
2) i have triplet boys that have names my brother picked out
3) i once dated a mermaid and visited her undersea colony

[fishflakes]

Nope, sorry. Number one’s true.

Wow yours sound like something out of a comic book. Is… number one the lie?

[sos_pilot]

Dang. I thought that could be a trick question, like maybe you had less or more fingers than the average person. My next guess is number two. Being friends with Pandas would be normal in my world.

But on the bright side, your guess was wrong too! I spent ten years on the moon. Not fun.

[fishflakes]

You sound like you come from a pretty cool world, if befriending pandas are normal. But yeah, 2 is the lie. Don't even think it's possible.

Wait what. Ten years on the moon? How did you not, like... run out of air?

[sos_pilot]

Gunna take a shot in the dark and assume you're human or human-like? Seems like almost everyone here is. But I'm from a world with no humans. We're all ducks and pigs and dogs and bears and so on. So, Pandas, totally normal.

As for your number two, that's a shame! I'd love to meet someone who could bend themselves halfway all those times. Maybe a contortionist could do it. Or a ghost. Or a ghostly contortionist.

Back to me! It's a long story, but the rocket-ship did come with supplies, like Oxy-chew! It was experimental chewing gum that had enough oxygen and other stuff to keep me alive. But it was black licorice flavored, so, ew.

[fishflakes]

Woah, seriously? That sounds like something that would be in a storybook in my world. But it sounds pretty neat. I bet Panda would have fun in your world.

Yeah, it would be pretty cool. Too bad I'm pretty sure you can't do that unless some sort of weird magic was involved, or unless the person getting folded doesn't mind getting squished.

Woah. Who went out of their way to make oxygen-filled chewing gum? Sounds super niche, but still pretty cool. Okay then, how about number 3 as the lie?

[sos_pilot]

The inventor was Gyro Gearloose, my uncle's head scientist, inventor, and all-around JERKFACE. It's probably the only thing he ever invented that didn't somehow turn evil and try to kill everybody.

But, importantly, back to me. You are correct! I would never date a mermaid. They're gross. Just thinking about them makes me dry-heave.

[fishflakes]

Wait... that was a thing that was more than a one-time thing? That uh, sounds like a real problem. Hope he got fired?

Seriously? What's wrong with mermaids?

[sos_pilot]

You'd tthink so, right??? But, nope. My uncle flat-out refuses to fire him. I do not get it.

And mermaids are wrong in EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. They're part FISH. They have FISH BUTTS. Ew.

[fishflakes]

Wait what even is the point of keeping the proven crazy mad scientist hired? Isn't that just asking for getting the world blown up or something?

What's wrong with fish? Fish is pretty tasty.

[sos_pilot]

If you ask me, my uncle can be a bit of a softie. He rarely fires people. Of course, he'll deny being said softie if you ever told him...

ALSO FISH SUCK, THEY'RE GROSS. One of the few good things about being on the moon? No fish.

[fishflakes]

He sounds like a good guy. Maybe a little soft though, but a good boss. But you’d think making stuff that tries to kill people is fair game for firing.

Man, tell me how you really feel. Don't tell me you went to the moon to get away from the fish.

[sos_pilot]

My uncle's the best. He'd love this place, and this game. But yeah, firing's never been his strong point.

And no, I didn't crash on the moon on purpose! It's a long story, but I wound up there by accident.

[fishflakes]

Well, it's probably better he's a softie than some jerk, right?

How does someone end up on the moon by accident? That feels like a whole story in and of itself.

[sos_pilot]

True, but never tell him I told you so! I'd never hear the end of it!

But we're not exactly close enough for you to unlock my tragic origin backstory. One bond-link at a time, buddy.

[fishflakes]

Pff, he one of those kinds huh? My lips are sealed.

Haha, okay fair point. Gotta level up to at least rank 4 before I unlock the tragic backstory, right?

[sos_pilot]

Exactly. But I think we made some pretty good headway for our first meeting!

The header made it obvious, but I'll say it again to make it formal - my name's Della Duck!

[fishflakes]

I'd say so. Pretty successful rank up I'd say.

Nice to meet you. I'm Toge Inumaki. You were pretty fun to chat with.
