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!

i guess... 3??? idk, they all sound crazy

here's mine!

1. my type of girl is tall girls with big butts
2. my hair isn't natural at all, totally dyed
3. i was put on trial for murder!

[stonehearts]

I assure you, they're not as outlandish as some of the stories I could tell.

Hmmm... I'll guess number three. You seem rather young to have been on trial for something like that.

( he's not particularly trying to guess correctly anyway, or else that WOULD give too much away. also: aha ha ha ha people being too young to murder.... hahaha ha... )

[rikugan]

what do we get for guessin right?

1. I am a member of the Genius Society, a faction consisting of true geniuses who have earned the gaze of Nous the Erudition. Do not ask me why it is named so plainly. It was Zander One Kuwabara, an Emanator of Erudition, who created and named this faction more than several Amber Eras ago.

2. My courses have a 3% pass rate. Quite abysmal, truly. But rarely can one rise past one's own mediocrity. Those who are talented and diligent are among the rare few indeed.

3. I have cured diseases and solved the energy crisis plaguing my home planet, as well as designed anti-planetary weapons. These are only a few in the number of accomplishments I have achieved.

[eyescar]

that sounds like a normal thing for a lot of people here...

but nah! you got it wrong!

[stonehearts]

The satisfaction of a job well done!

[rikugan]

eh

[stonehearts]

LILITH must vet us all before waking us up. How else could they be so sure they grabbed the right people for the job?

And what did someone like you do to get accused of something like that?

[stonehearts]

And a few thousand kryptos to sweeten the pot if I'm really impressed

[eyescar]

maybe they just pick whoever looks like they can deal with all of this stuff

of murder? murder, probably, poker-san

[stonehearts]

Do I get a reward if I guess right, Doc?

@bot

[enkefailin]

Gotta be the first one that's the lie. I've never heard of any company that wouldn't just get rid of you if that was true.

[when you come from actual capitalism hell...]

Lemme see for mine...

-One of my coworkers keeps trying to get me killed for not doing my job.
-I can't actually process alcohol, it's just fun to act like it.
-I never once saw the sun before I showed up here.

[stonehearts]

You can call me Aventurine, if you'd like.

And did you?

[rikugan]

ill go with 3 then

[curingidiocy]

Is it not reward enough that I am participating in your silly little game?

[eyescar]

ok aventurine-san

yeah. i did it.

[stonehearts]

I got what I wanted out of it, and they got me. For whatever reason, they seemed to think that balanced the books

( aventurine knows his worth when it comes what he can offer the IPC, and luckily so did they )

Hmm! What about the third one? I don't think that's all uncommon depending on the planet, and business is a cutthroat game

[stonehearts]

I suppose I could be convinced to view it that way, if you're going to be stingy. What's a man got to do to earn a little praise from you, anyway?

[stonehearts]

And yet you're a free man

[stonehearts]

( DING! gojo will receive a transfer of two thousand kryptos )

Very good! That wasn't so difficult, was it?

[eyescar]

the lawyer found me not guilty

[curingidiocy]

Why don't you try to guess, hm? Surely you have not spent all these years working with me to be utterly clueless about what impresses me.

[stonehearts]

How very lucky for you!

[rikugan]

[ ......can't believe he actually guessed it right. he's legit lolololing rn. ]

youre an honest guy [ but he's sending the kryptos right back. ]

[eyescar]

you think that's lucky?
