Break the Ice Part 2

[newhire]

Well that was. [Han...] You all did really well yesterday.

[She didn't participate but of course, she was watching! ...probably on her phone. But today she's here to assist! Which means there's probably some other stupid activity ready to be thrown your way.]

Today we have a different kind of bonding activity for you! The name of today's game is--! Two lies and a truth. Today you're going to test how well you know each other-- and maybe learn a lot more!

[And for those who may not know the rules--]

You're going to give someone a list of two things that are not true about you-- and one that is. And based on what they know about you and their impressions of you, they're going to do their best to find the truth. When it's all done, you'll tell them whether they're right or not and if they got it wrong-- you'll tell them the truth!

Comments

[swordsinternally]

Two lies and a truth, huh... it's a variant of the other one.

[ This is a lot more difficult than he thought, but he eventually comes up with something. ]

Let's go with this: I have a younger sister. I wasn't born with the last name 'Emiya'. I like umekobucha.

[preconstruction]

The truth is about your last name, right?

[devotingly]

Didn't you tell me that you had a younger sister? It has to be that.

[donotlick]

This might actually be dumber than the last one. You know we barely know each other, right?

[ But okay, a hidden truth, huh? ]

Alright, how's this. I'm married, I'm the youngest guy to ever make Lieutenant at the DPD, and I'm secretly brewing my own booze.

[sendintheclown]

Could it be you're brewing your own booze and not sharing?

[newhire]

That's the point! As a result, I hope you'll all get to know each other a lot better today.

That's how friendships are formed!

[covertizer]

Youngest lieutenant?

[covertizer]

[ Two lies, huh? ]

I've never been aboard - not counting wherever this place is. I actually kinda hate curry. I've worked at a bar before, but wasn't allowed to touch or serve any alcohol.

[donotlick]

Lemme see... Never been abroad?

[preconstruction]

Isn't it usually two truths and a lie?

[ androids cant lie (citation needed) this is silly. but here goes: ]

I was killed during my first mission, I can tell when anyone lies to me based on their heartbeat, I was almost shot by a member of the police department I work with.

[sendintheclown]

It better not be the second one, that'd be cheating!

[chumville]

Oh, yes. Party games. Fun.

[His voice drips with sarcasm.]

One. I am an evil genius.

Two. I have a giant brain.

Three. I am very dumb.

[sendintheclown]

You can't have a giant brain with such a small body! Please tell me you're an evil genius!

[newhire]

Okay let's see... since I'm asking you to do it, I might as well do it too!

[LEAD BY EXAMPLE.]

I developed my first app at the age of 10. Oswald dated my younger brother. I've never once lost save data before, either on my game or my computer.

[donotlick]

So, you've been coding since you were a kid, huh?

[ :eyes: ]

Because I seriously hope Oswald didn't date your younger brother. That's... there's a lotta shit to unpack there.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Well, alright. Why not?

[Maybe this excersize might help him figure out what the deal with all the censorship on his profile is.]

My mom works in a maid cafe, I like taking my dad's limo out for drives, and back home they used to call me the Super High School Level Adventurer.

[... Good luck.]

[buriedearth]

...Second's the truth?

[ Look, if he keeps saying 'second', he'll get it right sometime. ]

[itwasfeyt]

[Party games! This is actually easier for Maya than the trust falls.]

Okay. Let's see... I've been framed for murder three times, I have a little cousin named Pearl, and I've lived in Japan all my life.

[tannic]

Given your title, I'm going to say the first but with the caveat that I would really like to be wrong.

[tannic]

I write poetry, I've been known to dance, and I find that the best coffee in Paris can be found at the Café Musain.

[This is less terrible than the previous game, if only because lying? Well, that's actually fun.]

[devotingly]

You...write poetry?

[reshoot]

Hmm...Okay, how about...

I've never been in love before, I used to dress up as a pirate and try to find buried treasure, and I once unearthed an enormous conspiracy by finding a secret underground bunker underneath a barn.

Try me!

[myliteratureclub]

Wow...the last one sounds so outlandish it must be true.

Have you really never fallen in love?

[devotingly]

What kind of dumb game is this...

[ waver sighs, rolling his eyes. ]

I've never been outside out of London, I'm an orphan, and my grandparents live in Japan.

[whatsmytalentagain]

If your grandparents live in Japan, then how would you visit them if you're stuck in England?

I'm guessing option b.

[sendintheclown]

A super fun guessing game! I love it!

[Weird how people are more eager to participate when he's not hosting them.]

Which one of these is the truth? I'm in the circus, I've stolen a telephone pole, and I have my own pile of human teeth.

[myliteratureclub]

...I really hope the last one is a lie.

[myliteratureclub]

Oooo this sounds fun! Let's see....

I'm the former cooking club president, Shel Silverstein is my favorite poet, and I'm from America!

[tannic]

It would be odd if you were a cooking club president, since cooking isn't listed as one of your interests, so I say your favorite poet is Shel Silverstein.

[buriedearth]

[ ...mmmkay, he might be joining in this himself.

So. Sure. ]

I don't like sweets very much, I passed two exams recently, and I'm pretty good at baking cake.

[myliteratureclub]

Hmmm... is the truth about the cake?

[ososoi]

This is easy! [ He says, even though he's not that great at this type of game. ]

I've had an encounter with a ghost mummy from the USA, I've being a hockey player in space and I've died at least several times!

[ ...Well then. ]

[unhalting]

[......Okay the last one sounds like a bad joke to him, he's not going to choose that one?? The other two are still pretty absurd though.]

The second?

[communitycalendar]

Two lies and a truth, huh? Here goes!

One! I met Guglielmo Marconi back when he was alive. Y'know, the guy who really made long distance radio a thing?
Two! I've killed a librarian before.
And three! I've been to the local dog park in my town!

[sendintheclown]

Did the librarian shush themselves through their own screams?

[unhalting]

[He looks pretty unsure about all of this but. Well. Like yesterday, might as well get it over with. Give him a minute...]

...I've been to Alaska, I own a ship, and I've never been on a train.

[donotlick]

They got trains on Mars?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[If he's going to have to participate in this, he's going to make it difficult at least. So after consulting his profile to see what isn't on there, he comes up with two satisfactory lies.]

....The genre I primarily write in is horror, I'm undefeated as an detective, and I publish my works anonymously.

[machrophage]

[UGH he has to participate in group activities again. Fine.]

My parents were based off a cat and a tiger shark, I've lost thirty-seven teeth over my lifetime, and I'd never been to school before coming here.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I have.... many questions about the first one.... but I'm going to hazard a guess that maybe... just maybe the last one is the truth.

[He's really not sure of his choice compared to all the others.]

[throwabookatit]

[ Megumi gets the same stink-eye Han does, but Rebecca doesn't outwardly complain this time. She just clearly thinks going along with this is pointless. Still... ]

I was a straight-A student before university, I've never owned a pet, and I can drink any of my friends under the table.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Is.... is it the last one that's the truth?

[It's either that or the second one... he thinks.]
