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!

[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?

[swordsinternally]

It is, yeah. I'm adopted, so my original last name wasn't Emiya... but I don't actually remember my old name anymore.

[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.

[preconstruction]

Then it sounds like Emiya is really the only name that matters.

[swordsinternally]

To be honest... that last name that I have now, it really is the only name that matters to me now. Since it's the name that saved me.

[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.

[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!

[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.

[preconstruction]

It's good that you found a family that was so kind.

[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.

[swordsinternally]

Yeah. I'm glad, too. I've always thought that family is pretty important, after all.

[donotlick]

Nope! That ain't it. Homebrewing was for hipsters even back in my day.

[ Which is to say, 2018. ]

[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]

Yeah, that depends on what people choose to share though, don't it?

You didn't try and find the truth. Aren't you supposed to play along?

[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.]

[covertizer]

Youngest lieutenant?

[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.

[sendintheclown]

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

[donotlick]

Got it in one.

[ He shrugs. ]

Ran my own task force and everthing.

[newhire]

That's true. You have to be willing to let people learn. All we can do is give you the room and opportunity to do it.

[That makes her chuckle though.]

You know that would be cheating.

After all-- I might just be a Junior Administrator but I've seen all of your files.

[donotlick]

Lemme see... Never been abroad?

[buriedearth]

...Second?

[ He doesn't know if he's going to be super good at this game, but he's going to try. ]

[covertizer]

You remind me too much of my very-bachelor-like guardian to have been married.

[ HEY YO. ]

That's impressive. Police and law based work sounds like a lot of stress - people are always breathing down your neck to solve things even when it's not that simple.

[ Is that why so many people turn to fabricating evidence or accept bribes to make problems go away? ]
