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! ]

You would be right. I'm not a fan of pasta, ribbon pasta in particular, but bread is certainly something I enjoy a lot.

I'm glad to see we have something in common.

[netherese]

That does seem a terrible shame. Of course, we all have our own tastes, but perhaps you just haven't had it made for you properly. Don't give up on it just yet!

I wouldn't be surprised to find we share opinions on other matters, as well. How do you feel about wine?

[nonexempt]

I suppose I will keep trying and perhaps, one day, stumble across a favorite.

Oh, wine. I drink a lot of it. Perhaps too much. But I do it enjoy it so.

Next time I make it, I'll be certain to set aside extra to see if perhaps I might change your mind! I have a recipe for lobster capellini with tarragon cream sauce that will send you reeling!

You seem a man of excellent tastes. You ought to consider coming to our next meeting of book club; good wine is just one of the many refreshments made available.

[nonexempt]

Huh. I can safely say I've never tried anything of the sort, but I do love lobster and cream sauces so I think you may have me sold already.

I have heard of the book club, and I do intend to join the next session whenever that happens to be. Books and wine combined seem like an enjoyable evening to me.

[netherese]

Then I very much look forward to trying to sway your opinion.

It's not too far off, I believe! I don't think the book has been officially announced just yet, but I have it on good authority that we're to be reading a gothic piece called "Dracula."

[nonexempt]

Ah, Dracula. I've read that one before. Do you know if we're reading it in English or if we're allowed to read it in other languages? It's more than alright if you're not sure.

[netherese]

I'm not certain, but given that we all come from different places, it would make sense to me that you would be able to read it in whatever language you're most comfortable with. Our book club's organizer may be an English teacher, but I'm sure she would make allowances for such things.

[nonexempt]

Then Japanese it is for me. Do you have any similar stories to Dracula in your world? Famous vampire, famous vampire hunter, that sort of thing.

[netherese]

Well, there's the legend of Strahd, though depending on who you ask, that tale is rooted very deeply in the truth. Vampires are quite real where I come from, as it so happens.

[nonexempt]

That must be disconcerting, for it to be so close to real that you can't tell what's fact and what's fiction.

I've met a vampire here recently. He seemed pleasant enough.

[netherese]

That's a very good word for it, though such works are often still worth reading, whether it be for entertainment or educational value.

We do have some among us! Nico, if I had to guess?

[The other he knows of isn't quite so forthcoming about it...]

[nonexempt]

Perhaps I will look in the library next for a book on this Strahd. I'm currently reading a book on the history of Waterdeep, though like we've said before it might not be your Waterdeep but a Waterdeep.

Yes, indeed it was Nico-san. He was quite affable.

[netherese]

Really! How are you finding the history of our fine City of Splendors, may I ask? Entertaining, I hope! I would be happy to answer any questions you may have that the book may not cover.

[nonexempt]

Entertaining is definitely the word for it. It's interesting, reading a history of a place that exists in another realm. There are references to events I have no concept of and of Gods and monsters that don't exist for me. It's been a challenging but fun read all the same.

I would appreciate your answers, of course. I may come to you after I'm done the book.

[netherese]

I imagine that would be difficult to follow with so many foreign elements, but seeing as you seem to be a clever gentleman, I've no doubt you're managing well!

Consider me at your service, should you have need. Until then, do enjoy!

[nonexempt]

Thank you. Both for the praise and the offer. I look forward to it and the meal in the future. Until then, indeed.
