Two Truths And A Lie

amnesia edition

Present your character with three statements about themselves, two of which are correct. Other characters can see the statements and take a stab. Which ones are true? Let's find out together! Statements may instead be about the world they came from, or their creator if you want to get meta. Choosing one statement may or may not result in any explanation. Another three may appear after they are resolved. Or not! I'm not a cop.

[Code's from here.]

1. Mayoi has studied the sacred arts of the ninja.

2. Mayoi has starred in a globally nominated film.

3. Mayoi has an accomplished career in modeling.

A-All of these sound like lies…

[bolstafir]

It's got to be the first one, right? Pretty sure ninjas don't reveal themselves in films or as models.

[He's not sure how he knows this, but he's pretty sure that's correct, anyway.]

[rottencactus]

Unless …of course the ninja is good at leading a double life…?

Ah, truthfully …of them all, the first one feels the most plausible…

[bolstafir]

Huh, I thought that was more of a spy thing than a ninja thing....but I guess ninjas could also be spies???

[An intriguing notion.]

So if that one's true, which of the others do you think is more likely? Guess ninja skills would come in handy for doing your own stunts in a movie....

[guidemyway]

At least the ninja thing is cool.

[rottencactus]

Do you think so...? I can recall some details about ninjas from stories. I can't say I'm not interested in what these potential "sacred ninja arts" might be...

[guidemyway]

I mean. There are probably worse things you could be.

Maybe we should put together some tests. See what kind of cool ninja things you can do.

[chickenchoicejudy]

Dude, all of yours are so cool! Even if only one of them was true it would still be really cool!

[rottencactus]

A-Ah, no, no, its exactly that reason that it makes more sense for them all to be liiiieees...

Movie...? Modelling...? Ah, being a ninja sounds much more preferable, but equally absurd...

[rustedknight]

Hey, don't say that. I'm sure you're a really talented ninja slash model. Or...ninja slash actor, or model slash actor. One of those.

[rottencactus]

Eeeeh... that all sounds far too fantastical for someone like me... To have so many eyes on me, I think I'd perish.

[rustedknight]

Maybe your ninja training helps you avoid being stared at too much?

[rottencactus]

Oh.

Hm.

Perhaps you are onto something there... ah, then. Assuming the ninja training is correct ...which strikes me as most likely, then ...which one of the others could it be...

[rustedknight]

Well...models have to get looked at all the time, right?

So maybe that one is the lie, and you're a reclusive ninja actor who only shows up in public to promote your movies?

[rottencactus]

The logic of that feels ...somewhat plausible, yes. Then-

[Ding, ding, ding! Fanfare music sounds and it startles Mayoi enough that he shrieks and hides behind Jaune.]

Congratulations! Statement 3 was the lie! Moving onto round 2:

1. Mayoi is the member of a gardening club

2. Mayoi is an idol who sings on stage in front of thousands

3. Mayoi's favorite food is grapes.

O-Oh ...there is more. Um, at least these are less strange.

[rustedknight]

[ Jaune is immediately prepared to defend Mayoi from the invisible celebratory band, and maybe that's why they don't have the courage to follow through on their ambush. ]

Uh -

[ Do they have to answer? Is this a test? Jaune has a gut feeling these things are usually tests. ]

- the gardening one is true, you mentioned about the tea in your window.

[thinkfirst]

I don't think they all sound like lies at all! You'd make a wonderful model.

[rottencactus]

Flynn-saaaaaan, saying such things to me will surely crush me to deaaaaaath...!

[Sometimes Flynn is simply Too Bright to look at, he is such a ray of positivity and sunshine.]

My looks are ...mediocre at best, surely. Models must walk with some confidence, correct...? Ah... I do not have any of that...

[thinkfirst]

But models also have to convey a certain mood. You're excellent at that, and you wear such interesting outfits already.
