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! ]

about time you got your ass back here!
ok i'll play

1. I stopped Y2K
2. I invented karaoke
3. I died once

[airdnd]

Does anyone else feel like these are all lies?

[nonexempt]

Even I'm not sure, admittedly.

[airdnd]

Truly? On that note... What is "Y2K"? And karaoke?

[ the way she's asking nanami bc he wouldn't make shit up ]

[nonexempt]

[ solid and reasonable plan ]

Y2K is complicated to explain. It has to do with the technology of our world and the problem when we went from the year 1999 to 2000. There was a belief that all the technology of our world would break because of the inability of it to process the new year correctly. I'm simplifying it a lot and I also was pretty young when it happened but in the end, nothing actually happened and everything moved on peacefully. But people were very worried about it.

Karaoke is a form of entertainment. People will get up on a stage or rent out a room with friends to perform songs together for fun. Think of when you sing along to a song a bard is singing, a bit like that.

[unliminal]

that's what you have to tell me, momo-chan!

maybe they're all true

[airdnd]

Well, after hearing Nanami's explanations, I'm inclined to think you played Two Lies and One Truth instead.

[icyspicy]

Did you miss me?

Also: what is Y2K?

[unliminal]

naturally!

it was a year back in my world where everyone thought the computers were going to rise up and kill everyone or something

[icyspicy]

"Or something" isn't exactly selling me on that being one of your truths.

[netherese]

First and foremost, could you explain 'karaoke?'

Even not knowing what some of these are, I'm tempted to believe none of them are true...

[unliminal]

first you must promise to go to karaoke with me

[netherese]

That tells me it's... a place, of some sort? Some kind of restaurant?

I suppose I can trust you enough to agree to your terms. Now, do tell!

[ ALL THIS SOUNDS FAKE. ]

Is Y2K a disease or army of some kind?

[unliminal]

you could say that

a disease for computers

[historicallyloaded]

And you thwarted this disease?

[ Death is really broken where he's from so 3. sounds totally plausible to him, and he himself is an inventor so in his mind anything can be invented. Either he is speaking with a skilled inventor... or a skilled physician! ]

How did you accomplish that?

[fixtures]

I shall guess the first as the falsehood.

[ the dying once seems the most likely on here to her tbh ]

[unliminal]

[ She ain't wrong... ]

what makes you say that?
do you know Y2K, gigi-chan?

[fixtures]

I do not, which prompted it becoming my guess.

I neither know the word 'karaoke,' though it seems closer to languages I have heard than the aforementioned amalgamation of letters and numbers.

[warmaid]

I'm not able to answer, since I don't know what 1 and 2 are referring to. Can you please elaborate?

[unliminal]

1. Y2K was when the computers came to life to kill humanity

[ This gets more and more exaggerated with each retelling. ]

2. karaoke is when you go sing in a magical room with your friends and get drunk

any other questions?

[warmaid]

No, I think I understand. Thank you for the explanation.

Is #3 the falsehood?

[frankish]

Wow! You sure are a talented guy!

[unliminal]

i am! (✧∀✧)/
thanks for noticing!

[frankish]

I'm gonna say that all three are true! I want to believe in that kind of world!
