Now that we've all had time to settle in, why don't we play a game? It's simple enough: you give two truths about yourself and one lie, and we all have a fun time guessing which is which. And if you already know the answers to someone's, there's no need to spill the true answer for all to see. Let's keep it as fair as we can, shall well?


I'll go first:

- I was 'hired' by my current employer after I offered a possibility to a branch of it that led them to invest millions of credits into something that never gave any returns
- It's very likely that I am currently dead wherever I came from after I challenged a very special woman to kill me
- The last planet I was on before this one was Thalassa, a world of oceans -- what was supposed to be a lovely vacation turned far more sinister when one of the locals unleashed an unknown entity from the ruins of an ancient, fallen starship from the fleet known as the Xianzhou

Now feel free to guess amongst yourselves, friends, and don't forget to give your own three options!

[ this could be a fun exercise while she's got nothing to do at the moment... ]

Are we allowed to ask additional questions or do we just go with our gut?

[stonehearts]

Always go with your gut

[wheft]

All of them sound plausible, though...

I'd say the 2nd one. Maybe it wasn't a special woman who ended your life.

[stonehearts]

That one is very much true, I'm afraid. She was quite nice and apologetic about it, all things considered. I really pushed her to her limit.

[wheft]

So you forced her hand... Kind of surprised that she's nice about it, tbh.

Then... maybe the first one? I'm probably too biased for the third one, though. I lived near the ocean and even worked as a sailor for a long while, so I'm banking a lot on that.

[ unleashing dangerous entities upon the cityfolk is also commonplaces where she's from, so... ]

[stonehearts]

She's the forgiving type, lucky me!

Nope, first one is also true. Thalassa is a real planet, though -- and gorgeous to boot

[wheft]

So the unknown entity isn't real...

[ damn :/ ]

But that means you'd be fine with it if a less unforgiving person ends up killing you, right?

[stonehearts]

Sure, but I've been told I'm a very difficult man to kill. And people have certainly tried before her!

[wheft]

A lot of people must reaaaally want you, then.

I guess it's my turn, huh? Let's see...

1) I was once swallowed whole by a gigantic aquatic animal.
2) I almost melted quite literally into a puddle during a healing mishap.
3) My manager back home has a TV for a head.
