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!

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.

[myliteratureclub]

That's it! I really love his work!

[tannic]

Do you happen to have any of it memorized? My friend used to memorize poems to recite at people, but I know not everyone has the memory for it.

[Jehan's kind of a Special Snowflake, who everyone loves.]

[myliteratureclub]

Hmm... I can try!

[Monika takes a moment to think it over until a shorter poem comes to mind.]

"Barbara's eyes are blue as azure, But she is in love with Freddy. Karen's sweet, but Harry has her. Gentle Jane is going steady. Carol hates me. So does May. Abigail will not be mine. Nancy lives too far away... Won't you be my Valentine?"

[devotingly]

I think...it's probably the second option.

[myliteratureclub]

Yup that's it! But how did you come to that conclusion?

[devotingly]

Monica is a common name in the West, but the 'C' doesn't exist in the Japanese language. They use the 'K' for hard C syllables. Therefore, I assumed that you're from Japan.

In the case of the cooking president, well...I don't think you'd be the president of a club that's not related to your interests. So by process of elimination, the only one that's left is the poetry.

[myliteratureclub]

Very good! I guess I made it too easy aha! Oh well, it was still fun.

[devotingly]

Mm, if you say so.

[ he's still gotta tsun a little ]

So...what do we do now? Is it, uh, my turn?

[myliteratureclub]

Yes, please! I want to take a guess!

[devotingly]

Alright. Uh..

I've written a thesis, I really like video games, and I don't like detective stories.

[myliteratureclub]

Oh I think I know!

Is it you've written a thesis? I remember you like to write essays!

[itwasfeyt]

That's easy! You're from America!

[IT's AS PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON MAYA's AMERICAN FACE.]

[myliteratureclub]

[Eat your hamburger Maya.]

Nope that's not it! Wanna try again?

[itwasfeyt]

Wh-what?! It's not! [Maya, what did you expect.]

Uh... You're part of the cooking club?

[myliteratureclub]

Nooooope not me!

[itwasfeyt]

...Aha! [snap fingers]

Then it's the second one! About the poet!

[myliteratureclub]

That's it! He really is my favorite!

[itwasfeyt]

Puzzle solved!

[Except not, at all.]

I actually don't know who that is.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It's the second one.... The former doesn't fall in line with your listed interests and the last one could maybe work, but the second falls more in line with your listed likes.

[myliteratureclub]

That's right! What a good line of reasoning! I must have made it too easy!

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Well... I am an detective. This game is fairly easy for me...

[myliteratureclub]

Oh you are? I didn't know that! Were you solving murders then?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Well.... I've um... I've solved my fair share of them, but I wasn't in the middle of an investigation before being kidnapped.

[Just in the beginning stages of plotting revenge.]
