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! ]

[Gale… Is not wrong. Even though it’s just texting, Amelia feels embarrassed at the praise radiating through his words.]

Well…
That isn’t too inaccurate. I’ve already put countermeasures in the form of wards and enchantments around the radius of the school building.

[netherese]

[He simply knows that Amelia is a terrifying woman (affectionate).]

Blackgale is in excellent hands, as ever. Regardless of your species, the learning environment must be respected!

[recluserose]

I don’t think anyone, magical or not, would want to deal with me during the Advanced Placement tests, that’s for certain.

[netherese]

I'll be very certain not to get in your way when that time comes and be the perfect picture of a helpful and supportive partner.

[He values his safety— but also, he would do all of that anyway.]

[recluserose]

I expect nothing less from someone who was a “model student.”

[yeah that’s right, she saw his 2 truths and 1 lie, she’ll make her guess here]

[netherese]

What, do you think I could ever misbehave? Me, a devoted academic?

[She's absolutely right.]

[recluserose]

If past interactions are anything to go by, you would absolutely be the kind of student to talk back to me even when I’m in the right.

[netherese]

[He still maintains that was a draw, but he knows better than to say so. Still, the temptation is real.]

Oh, you would have found me very trying indeed, I'm sure. If only backtalk were the worst of it! I lost count of the times Elminster had to pay a visit and intervene.

[recluserose]

It appears you’ve a few stories to regale me with about your academic mishaps. I doubt my high school stories would hold a light to them.

[Well, maybe some. Going to high school in your 50s is kind of a trip.]

[netherese]

Oh, I wouldn't sell yourself short so quickly. I have a feeling we both dealt with a bit of being too clever for our own good at one point or another, though perhaps in different ways.

Then again, given you've gone on to become such a dedicated educator, perhaps you were the kind of student who would have put me to shame, despite my brilliance. I would certainly have considered you a worthy rival.

[recluserose]

An academic rival? Well, it would be likely if the circumstances were different. But then I don’t think I would have started out as friendly towards you.

[netherese]

I think I would have made an excellent effort with regards to charming you, but you're probably right. Even if we weren't academic rivals, I think you might have found a younger Gale of Waterdeep to be utterly insufferable.

[Between being a troublesome student who was too clever by half and made that everyone else's problem and his unchecked arrogance, even his undeniably soft heart might not have won him any favor.]

[recluserose]

The “what-if” scenarios are interesting to think about.

But if anything, it makes me glad we met each other as we currently are.

[netherese]

Likewise. A fun thought exercise, to be certain, but I must prefer the reality. It's worked out quite well for me so far, I think.

[He'll flirt in the server if he wants to!]

[recluserose]

You do like to push your luck to see what sticks. Good thing it worked out in this instance.

[Amelia’s form of flirting is… Barely any different from her just talking normally it appears.]

[netherese]

No risk, no reward, hm? I think it was well worth the effort this time.

[It's okay. He knows she's flirting. He can tell.]

[recluserose]

We can continue this conversation in person and not on the public network if you don’t mind.

[she knows people read these and it’s embarrassing to think that they see her weak ass flirting]

[netherese]

I'll never pass up that opportunity. Consider me most enthusiastically on my way.

[Look at him, he barely embarrassed her in public at all!]
