Goooooooooooood morning Nippon!
I hope everyone is well!

I was thinking, there are so many of us time refugees now... Wouldn't it be nice for us to get to know each other?
SO, I had an idea!
Let's make a game out of it!

THE RULES:
• Introduce yourself (your name, where you're from, etc.)
• Give us two things about yourself that are true, and one that's a lie.
• Comment around trying to guess what's the truth and what's a lie.

FUN, right?? I thought so!

I'LL START!

You can call me Sunny! I come from an Earth that's pretty normal, I think? But I guess we all think where we come from is "normal," don't we?

1. My favorite meal is breakfast.
2. I don't know how to swim.
3. I go by Sunny, but my real name is Hinata.

The world I'm from has many differences from Gaia, though I've found many much that is similar. I have only just arrived.

[Notably a name is missing.]


1. At the time I was rescued, I am the last of my people.
2. I have raised many children, though none of my blood.
3. I'm no longer sure what my goals will be when I return to my time.

[notbert]

Are we permitted to ask questions before guessing?

un: sunshine

[dayific]

Uh oh! You missed a step! You forgot to tell everyone your name.

[ Yeah, don't think she didn't notice. ]

I'm just going to call you Ophiuchus until you correct me, is that okay? Or maybe Ophie!

Hm.... #2 is the only one that isn't completely sad so I'm going to hope that one's true. Is #1 the lie?

[dayific]

Oh, um!! The whole point of this game is to get to know each other, and asking questions is a great way to do that, so I think that's okay.

un: ophiuchus

[notbert]

Allow me time to consider. For now you may refer to me as you wish.


[Apparently Ophie is just fine. Especially since she has shown signs she might nickname Elidibus if he gave that instead. At least let him ready his heart for that inevitability.]

#2 is true. And as far as I'm aware, #1 is true as well.

[I mean technically speaking it's true. It's all a matter of perspective.]

I know what my goals are when I return to my time, so that was the lie.

[He just isn't sure what the correct way to approach them are anymore. But that's neither here nor there.]

[notbert]

On your world, or here in this country, were you responsible for the welfare of others?

[It seems 'Ophie' will keep to the spirit of guessing by avoiding direct queries of the statements Sunny selected.]

[dayific]

Here, I'm not responsible for anyone's welfare, aside from making sure my sister eats three square meals a day and gets enough fresh air (she can be kind of a shut in when she's in a bad mood, which is... most of the time).

But back in our world...? Yeah, you could say that I was.

[dayific]

I'm sorry that #1 was true. In some ways, I know what that's like, and I was hoping that it wouldn't be the case for you.

[ Sure, they've only just met and she still doesn't know Ophie's real name, but she is the kind of person who wants good things for everyone, even total strangers. ]

That's good at least, that you know what your goals are. I kind of wish I knew what mine would be.

[notbert]

[There's a bit of time before he responds. Mostly, 'Ophie' is trying to keep to the spirit of the exercise when he'd really like to ask a lot more questions.]


Then I will surmise your second statement is most likely to have been a lie.


[Not that he is sure he's correct. But that it's the most likely of the three in the information he's been given, apparently.]

[dayific]

[ It's a good guess. Swimming seems like something most adults should know how to do, right? ]

Nope, sorry! That one's true.
Do you want to guess again? You've got a 50/50 shot!

[notbert]

I appreciate the sentiment. There is still hope as long as I continue toward my goal, that my people may one day return. I extend my regrets for your losses. I hope it was not as cruel as mine.


[It isn't a bad thing right, to offer condolences in kind?]

I have had the misfortune to have my fate laid before me by tragic circumstance. If you have the chance to find your purpose in life without tragedy forcing your hand, I pray you make use of it. It is a blessing.

[notbert]

[It also seems like something someone taking care of family might have picked up. As he implied, it was the most logical of the three.]


Hm. Then I suppose I would surmise your first fact to be the next most likely to be a lie.


[It seems he's willing to guess!]

un: METTATON

[glitzandglamour]

Three, of course! That's the lie, isn't it, Sunny-darling? Why else would you give it up so readily?

un: METTATON

[glitzandglamour]

Two truths and a lie. Classic, darling! Both charming for many, and grueling for more!

I'm Mettaton, robotic star and celebrity on the Surface! I come from a world populated by humans and monsters, where monsters once lived Underground, and humans, on the Surface. But that's ancient history, baby! If you qualify "ancient," as being a few months ago. Ha-ha.

Now we all live together. It's fabulous! I have my own shows, livestreams, product line... ...

All of my true fans would know the answer to these. But since even I'M a new face, I'll make it easy:

1. I'm known by my fans as "MTT Kissy Cutie."
2. I have a soul.
3. I can be your robot... or your kotatsu. You decide!

[dayific]

Nope!! Wrong again! I love breakfast so much!

[dayific]

You caught me!! Was it really that obvious?

[dayific]

It's alright. Any losses I suffered were the results of my own choices, and the passage of time. All humans die eventually.

[ The choice of the word "humans" seems to place Sunny in a separate category. ]

I know my purpose in life. It's just a purpose that seems to stretch on and on with not a lot of variety, you know? Taking a break from that, to be here, where I can do what I want, when I want...? It's kind of putting things in perspective a bit.

[dayific]

Oh, wow! I've never met a real robot before! And a famous one, too! I'm honored to meet you, Mettaton.

Trying to spot the lie is difficult, because I want all of them to be true!! I feel like #2 might be the obvious answer, but I don't want to be accidentally robo-racist by assuming you don't have a soul...

I'm going to guess that #1 is the lie, and your fans call you something else.

[notbert]

From your way of speaking, we may be in similar circumstances, for all the details may be different. If I may inquire further, are you also a bearer of immortality?

[She did put the context out there, but it doesn't mean he can't be polite about asking for more details. And along with it, confirms a bit of his own standing on the matter of lifespans.]

I've found myself dwelling on similar thoughts since my arrival. I know my duty ere I return to my Star. Yet I've had recent cause to consider that how it was conducted may have been in error. Whether that can be changed or if I should stay the course... and what I have lost. I welcome the opportunity to reflect on these matters.

[notbert]

I see. It is clever to have used a name bearing the meaning of "sunshine" in the native tongue.

[Text is certainly hard to tell emotions from and there's definitely no emoticons here. But he does appear to not be bothered and certainly acknowledges the use of the medium to muddy the nature of the statements.]

This serves as an excellent exercise in how knowledge is key to making the correct choice. As well as your original intention of course. I commend you.

[Okay so he seems a bit stuffy in 'speech' but at least he's sincere?]

I am Elidibus. It is not my true name, but the title I assumed when I accepted an important seat of office to represent my people.

[It's clear he has no intention of prying after Sunny's real name.]

[glitzandglamour]

I sure can't swim. For robotic reasons, which I doubt you share. And who dislikes breakfast??

So, yes. A little obvious, when you're asking me. If you had another name, I doubt you'd be so forthright with it... Besides. Sunny's a beautiful name!

[glitzandglamour]

Of course. You're welcome, darling. [??? for the honor of meeting him, apparently...]

You're... ... correct!!! Though you were very nearly wrong. Yes, I'm a robot imbued with a soul... though really. Not every robot has a soul. Nothing wrong with that!

Robot ethics aside, my fans do not call me "MTT Kissy Cutie." Though I am kissy, and cutie. That would just be a terrible moniker, modeled after an even worse cartoon, where I'm from. My fans know me simply by my name, and my brand. Though I also respond to plenty of other things. You can call me whatever you'd like, darling.

[english_rose]

My name is Mrs Erina Joestar, very pleased to meet you, Sunny.

I confess I am not very good at these games, but I will try.

1. I spent seven years in India, growing up.
2. I married my first love.
3. I have a voracious sweet tooth.

Kiriho. I'm a ya, from the Kii horde. I'm from the steppes bordering what we call the Treacherous Mountains. Anything between those mountains and the Seeing River and the Valley of Death is where my tribe rides, and we are the greatest horsepeople on dry land. Don't go into our territory if you want to live. I'm my tribe's head matur. That's a bit like a high priest, with a lot of very important duties to lead our people.

1. I want to get to know people here
2. I'd love to make some useful friends
3. I gut people for fun back home
