Emerald

[dramatispersonae]

[The sound of a breeze covers any conversation coming from other pavilions, though there's no wind here. The only furnishing is a table laid out with a tea service glazed in your team colors and a few leaves of paper.]

[Once everyone is settled, Kitsune speaks, and her voice is clear in each pavilion:]

A little game: as a team, make a list of two truths and a lie.

That's it.

The truths do not need to be secrets. But on the other hand, don't give the lie away too easily.

Can you be yourself, even when you hide the truth?

((OOC Instructions: Two truths and a lie is go.
Answers will be posted anon in round two, so don't share anything you're not willing to let the group see. To reiterate, these do not have to be secrets.
It's to your benefit to be identifiable.
Please label your truths and lies so I don't have to track you down and shake the answers out of you.))

Re: Discussion

...Sounds easy enough.

Re: Discussion

[ganbareist]

Hmm... that's not so difficult.

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

So this is how we're supposed to get to know each other...?

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

Or what we want people to know about us.

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

Isn't that how it usually is anyway?

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

Guess so...

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

We should probably try to think of truths that aren't too easy to trace back to us.

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

...Doesn't it defeat the purpose of having someone guess a truth or a lie if they don't know who they're guessing for?

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

That's assuming we know what the personae's purpose is in the first place.

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

[huffs]

Right. So we're guessing too.

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

Well, I meant more like... things everyone knows are true about Emerald. There's no point in guessing if it's too easy, either.

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

So choose 'we drink a lot' -- everyone thinks it, but we don't actually.

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

Yeah, that's a good one. ...Hmm, then something that sounds like a lie, but is actually true?

Re: Discussion

[ganbareist]

That would be clever... and truths that seem like a stretch, too.

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

What's the weirdest thing about us, then...?

Re: Discussion

[ganbareist]

That one's up to you, right? Maybe a strange memory?

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

[...all my memories are terrible... or bittersweet...]

Isn't it supposed to be a team thing?

Re: Discussion

[ganbareist]

[lol that feel]

"One of us had this experience?"

Though if you can come up with a group experience...

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

...Neither Wing nor I have been here long enough to have done something that other people wouldn't remember.

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

I have some memories that could be considered strange, but my brother would recognize most of them.

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

He's only playing for one team, though.

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

[nods]

I was merely pointing out anything I contribute won't be entirely obscure.

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

I've got a couple of pretty weird memories, and I don't think there's anyone playing today that would know about them...

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

It wouldn't be fair to ask you to be the only one to contribute.

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

Well, I can provide one, at least.

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

All right.

Do we want both our truths to be strange?

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

They shouldn't be any less strange than the lie, at least.

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

If we're using the drinking as the lie then it's rather mundane, but clever. One of our truths can be strange, but perhaps one should be more ordinary, as well.

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

Yeah. ...I can provide either one. Do you want to do the other?

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

I had someone attempt to steal my body once. That would be considered strange to most, wouldn't it?

Re: Discussion

[itsalluseless]

That would definitely work. As for me... I pretty much asked a girl to marry me when I was twelve. Not that extraordinary, but not entirely everyday, either, right?

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

[nods]

All right. That should work.

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

It's something that used to be true, but is now more of a lie we embrace out of sentimentality. It's an interesting spin to put on the task.

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

It'll work for this, then, right?

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

I don't see why not. Viridian still indulges on occasion but, we don't consume alcohol like we did when Knife was still here.

[because she did most of the consuming]

Noting that we do it "a lot" or "excessively" would make it untrue.

Re: Discussion

[soundandfury]

[nods]

So then we need truths.

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

[oh so the fox is interested in truths and lies, as well as pettings]

I see.
