Two Truths & A Lie

It's important to know your classmates, right? Well, somebody thinks so because the students of Finchwood Academy have decided to play two truths and a lie over their journals to kill some time!

HOW THIS WORKS

Comment with your character's name in the header.

In-character, list two truths and one lie about your character in a second comment! See example.

Other characters will read these statements and try to pick out the lie. They can ask questions to try to make better guesses or take a shot in the dark.

If your character's lie is guessed, you're welcome to reply under your name again and do another set.

If your character wants to tease a friend, start some rumors, or otherwise sow mischief, you can also list two truths and a lie under someone else's name. These comments will work the same way as the others but may or may not be appreciated. See example.

Please note that we aren't playing this as a drinking game or a truth serum or anything like that. This is just an ice-breaker game! While there's nothing to stop your kiddos from lying when answering questions, we'd prefer that the initial two truths actually reflect something true about the character. Mostly because we're nosy but also because it makes things more fun!

This applies to the mischievous sorts that choose to reply under someone else's name. Humor us. ♥ If you don't know another character well enough to be able to do this, you probably shouldn't be doing it.

We're fully expecting for this to turn into a shitpost full of tangents and random conversations. So feel free! This is to help you find your character's voice, after all.

This meme is non-canon and none of the conversations held here will have happened in-game. This meme is open to all characters that are currently held, even if the mods haven't received applications or the character hasn't been excepted yet.

» RESPONSES: Post for each of your characters here.

You did know it was based off an assault rifle, that’s more than a lot of people would know. I didn’t think yours were that easy to figure out. Not tricky, but not exceptionally obvious. What were you on tv for?

From:

pleaseloveme

i think i probably picked it up from a video game. the only gun i've held is a super soaker.

oh right that. uh i won some national math competitions and my situation is [...] a little different? so they did a spot on me and interviewed me and there are some articles on the internet. i'm trans so it's like some people did these story pieces about it. that's all.

From:

war_like

Yeah it was a gun on a video game. Counter-strike: global offensive, specifically.

[...] Oh. That’s impressive. I really like math.

From:

pleaseloveme

hey i got it write by being wrong.

yeah? me too like obviously sorry. uh i'm best with geometry and time trials but i'm going to mit after i graduate and might go into theoretical mathematics. i'm nervous about academia though because i really don't want to teach?? i'm not great with [........] people. what about you?

From:

war_like

All worked out in the end.

IDK, as long as you're not an ass and are enthusiastic about what you're teaching I don't think you need to be super great with people? I really enjoyed statistics the most? We got a brief taste of it at my last school, but it's not really a high school course. So I guess for classes I completed my favorite was algebra.

From:

pleaseloveme

i get [...] nervous and i have [...] a hard time saying what i mean to say. anyway!!! statistics are really cool i don't think i'm great at like getting them in context though. it's cool if you know like some social sciences too. algebra's fun though. i like uh getting timed on big equations? it's like a puzzle game but nerdier.

From:

war_like

I'm sorry, that must be frustrating. I'm a slow talker, so I can't really relate. I guess I have the opposite issue of seeming uninterested because I pause so long. Social science is fun, but it's not my favorite thing. I guess I don't really have a favorite aside from math. It's all good.

I do love puzzle games, I can see why that's a draw. Hey, wanna race me? I want to see how I stack up against you.

From:

pleaseloveme

i like some [...] human things about math. i mean math is a human thing. but it's also just a natural thing. i don't know. i can't teach people. maybe if i'm lucky i'll discover something and someone else can write a book telling people about it.

sure yeah0 that'd be fun. maybe we can make a math [...] club? adam's really good too. like really really good.

From:

war_like

It's one of the most natural things?? Like, the natural geometric shapes in nature are amazing. [...] That's not totally human, either, I guess. I'm not great with human things either tbh. On a personal level anyway.

Math club would be fun. Maybe we can get Adam to lead it?

hey you spelled some shit wrong. [...] Trust me, i ain't care or nothing but I wanted to tell you before other asshole gave you trouble for it

From:

pleaseloveme

~~shit shit shit i'm so stu~~

oh. shit. sorry. ok thanks. i didn't even notice? i'm not really good at writing and all of that. i always mess that stuff up. thanks.

that's embarrassing.

From:

whiteknuckles

Nah nah nah fuck that it's FINE everybody knew what's up. You know??? Like. All that matters is we get what you mean

I'm just saying it cuz people can be real fucken dumb about writing good

From:

pleaseloveme

yeah i think so. grammar's a bunch of made up rules anyway. i read ~~part of~~ a book about it once.

yeah they act like you're an idiot because you can't spell or something. like spelling's important.
