Well well, would you look at that? The place didn’t burn itself down while I was gone, though not for lack of trying. Or so I’ve been told.

Anyway, it looks like we’ve acquired some new faces in the last month. In the grand tradition of the hotel forcing us to get to know one another, why don’t we play a little game?

Is everyone familiar with “two truths and a lie”? It’s simple enough. List three things about yourself, one of which is not true. Others must guess which is the lie.

Here, I’ll go first.

[ TL;DR - We’re playing two truths and a lie now! Thread hop around and tag each other! Winter will be hopping around to play too, but if folks just want to chat with him now that he’s back that is also fine! ]

Welcome back, my dear. How fortunate that you have returned to us safely.

As for your proposed game:

1. I once taught a beast to speak.
2. I once was given a red rose.
3. I once was an Abigail.

[icyspicy]

Thank you very much Giselle. You haven't been working too hard I hope?

[fixtures]

So considerate, hehe. Not to worry.

Aside from what aid I was able to provide during the latest difficulty with the hotel, it was more that our fellow guests were working to aid me.

I actually... rather enjoyed it.

[icyspicy]

It's nice, isn't it? Having someone do something for you for a change?

[fixtures]

To tell the truth, I had forgotten what it felt like.

[ Giselle is typing... ]

But it has been a welcome reminder, yes.


Did you enjoy your time in your homeland, by the way?

[nonexempt]

[ hmmmmmmm? ]

The third one, perhaps? As I'm not sure if you have another definition to Abigail than it being a girl's name.

[fixtures]

Regrettably, I must tell you that the third is one of the two truths.

But perhaps you may have a guess, now, for what is meant by Abigail.

[nonexempt]

Interesting. Then the second?

As for what Abigail means... a wife, maybe? Considering the origin of the name.

[fixtures]

Oh, my. Do I seem a married woman to you? Hehe...

An astute guess, but not quite. 'Abigail' was a term used to refer to maids, in the 17th century.

[airdnd]

I am inclined to answer the third, as well.

[fixtures]

I'm afraid that answer would be incorrect, my dear.

Care to guess again?

[airdnd]

Then, the first...?

[fixtures]

The beast whom I once called "Master" could not even manage understanding my speech, when we first crossed paths.
In due time, however, we shared many conversations. He even learned table manners, and how to dress like a gentleman.

That is to say, the first holds true as well.

[netherese]

Another guess for the third, but I'm quite curious about the first.

[fixtures]

My, I must not terribly seem like an Abigail...
I'm afraid that the third is one of the truths.

Now, that leaves you with deciding whether the first is a truth or a lie.

[netherese]

You certainly don't! May I ask what inspired the change to Giselle, in that case?

I'm going to guess the first is the truth. Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised to hear you'd accomplished such a thing.

[fixtures]

Hehe.... what ever inspired it?

It is a misdirection of sorts, meant in jest, Gale.
"Abigail" was once the term used for maids, based on the name of a servant in a popular work of fiction at the time.
Though it was a time long since past.

You have guessed correctly on the first, however.

[unliminal]

what does it mean to be an abigail

[fixtures]

I am more interested in hearing what you believe it to mean.

Is it not a word heard in your home world?

[unliminal]

it sounds like a name or a place
is it like saying someone is a karen?

[fixtures]

A "Karen?"

[frankish]

I don't know about the lie, but 2 has to be true!

[fixtures]

"Has" to be?

Are you so confident?

[frankish]

Yep! Because if it's a lie, I'll make it come true myself! Then I'm right no matter what!

[fixtures]

[ not charlie the rizzler.... ]

You are always so sweet, my dear....
Like the first honey of spring.
But it is hardly proper to play with a lady's heart, you know.

[ because he's always saying things like that, it's hard to tell if he's being serious or just playing around. ]

I'm afraid the second is the falsity, in any case.
