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.

1. I have no idea how old I am.
2. I can't stand spicy food.
3. I speak 10 different languages.

Ah, what a shame, I have a fresh batch of curry that I suppose I'll just have to throw out.

What a cruel tease you are, my love.

[ Pet names mean it can't be that bad, so take a breath ♥ ]

[He's deeply, deeply relieved.]

Ah, so that one was the lie. In that case, have as much as you like, my dear.

I knew I liked you. ♥

3 is also a bit of a fudge, since I can only speak half of them conversationally. But I figure if I can visit the country and speak to the natives, it counts.

Three
Because you speak more

[ See he's making it a little more challenging by making a very specific guess. ]

I wasn't counting the languages I feel iffy in, so that one's true.
But way to use personal knowledge almost in your favor.

You don't know that I'm fine with spice?

I made a guess that let me learn more about you

Isn't that the point of the game?

[ He noticed the conversation with Doc, though, and he's hoping it's a good sign. ]

More or less. Also to marvel about how weird my life is, but I picked bland things. No one wants to know about the weirder stuff from my life.

[ It is indeed a good sign, but they're establishing that there will be no Dragging Doc Back If He Runs. She's not doing this every cycle. He stays or he goes, that's all the can do. ]

Is it 2? I feel like this is something I'll have to know either way.

Got it in one! I'll eat anything as far as human food. Blood is what I'm picky about.

Whew! That would have been about half my recipe collection out the window.

A true tragedy that would be! Thankfully I'm ready for anything you want to share, spicy or otherwise.

[He can already guess this one, so.]

More importantly, have you at least chosen a day as your birthday so you have an excuse for cake?

I'll take a cake any day of the year, so there's really no need.

[That is Too Much Cake, surely, but okay, Saya, you do you.]

Do you have a favorite?

[ Some of us have bodies that are always starving as they desperately try to make up the lack of nutrients in the impure blood around here ]

I'm not picky. But chocolate is always good.

Ahh... I'm guessing number two?

But learning ten languages must have taken a long time?

Two is the lie, yes. I eat anything and everything.

I'm very, very old. And I've traveled a lot. Back before trains and cars and airplanes getting around the world took a long time so going through a country took weeks or months, you pick things up.

Ah! I got it right! I can't handle that much spicy food but I'm trying to get better at that.

But that's amazing that you've been able to pick up so many languages... You must have so many stories from being around even then?

Edited 2023-03-26 01:23 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it's one of those practices makes perfect things, but there's enough types of food that you shouldn't have to try what you don't like.

I probably do have a lot of stories, yes. But not all of my memories are intact, so I only now a few of them. One of the downsides of being what I am is amnesia.

2 because I need spicy food friends...

It's 2! I love spicy foods... and all foods, actually.

Then you're a comrade! I love spicy foods. And hot sauce. And both things together.

I like to think I'd be a comrade even if I didn't like spicy foods, but I get your point.
