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!

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. ]

[whatsmytalentagain]

Ah, no. I actually hate traffic.

[Nice try.]

I prefer using my dad's boat to travel.

[buriedearth]

[ What is traffic, just use a Keyblade Glider to get out of there! ]

It's pretty bad unless you're taking a boat?

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Pff]

More like I go to other countries by sea and explore the place on foot. You get to take in more of the scenery and culture, plus maybe find a few neat places that are off the beaten path.

Oh, and the traffic in some countries is beyond bad. Like, absolute chaos. Even the public transit can be a mess.

[buriedearth]

I don't think I ever experienced much trouble with traffic. Then again, the world I've come to doesn't have too many people on it.

[ Even public transit might as well be a myth. Not really, but you know. ]

It does sound nice to see the sights like that, though. I've only recently kind of gotten around to doing that -- seeing other places besides my home, anyway.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Ah, yeah. You were telling me about that after the Wall incident.

[Real life still doesn't involve level grinding.]

The population thing, though... That's new. Were you from a small town or something?

[buriedearth]

[ Listen...when you're from an RPG...! ]

Kind of. I lived in a pretty big place but there was only three of us there most of the time -- my master, and my friends Aqua and Ven.

[itwasfeyt]

Oh! The first one is the truth.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Ah... No, actually. It's a lie.

[itwasfeyt]

What?! B-but working at a maid cafe sounds amazing!

[whatsmytalentagain]

Yeah, maybe it does.

But it's more like I was practically raised by an actual maid. See, my dad was always busy with his buisness and stuff, so he hired a nanny to watch me and my siblings.

[itwasfeyt]

A nanny? Wow, I've never had one of those, but I was always raised by my big sister.

[whatsmytalentagain]

She turned out to be a better parent than my actual parents, if you catch my drift here.

[No offense.]

Wait, what happened to your folks? If you don't mind me asking.

[itwasfeyt]

...Yeah, I can catch that drift.

[Loud and clear]

I never knew who my dad was, never really thought about it. But my mother, Misty Fey, was only around for a little while when I was younger. And one day she just disappeared altogether. It was up to Mia to raise me, after that.

[unhalting]

...What the hell's a "Super High School Level Adventurer"?

[Frowns. That felt really silly to say.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[SIGH] Figured someone would ask.

Where I'm from, the government hands out scholarships and awards to talented high school students. They called it the Super High School Level Initiative or something.

Now, I happen to travel to a lot of different countries, but it's what I do on my journeys that got me the title. Must have started when I helped research a rare disease that only affected a remote village in Africa... Then I started getting famous.

[He's pretty humble about it, though.]

So, yeah. As weird as it sounds, that is the truth.

[unhalting]

[Orga listens pretty closely to the whole explanation. Honestly, the idea of government scholarships and awards sounds more foreign to him than the part about traveling around and helping people out, although that probably says more about Orga than Rantaro.]

Huh. So the government pays for you to go on those trips or something?
