Okay! We've got a few more newbies so the mandatory ice breaker game is two truths and two lies! Say two things about yourself that are true and two that are a lie, and then everyone else well try and guess which ones are the lies. Got it?

I'll go first:

My blood is yellow.
I was hatched with four eyes and four horns.
Purple is my favorite color.
I'm a wanted criminal on my home planet.

[OOC: Respond with your own truths and lies and answer each other, or ask Psi about his. Threadjacking is encouraged!]

Innocent until proven guilty, that's the way most human justice system works.

[forkedroad]

[She laughs, deciding that's as good a time as any to drop the charade.]

Alright, fine. You got me on your first try as well. Rather good for complete strangers!—or, we're fairly lousy at your game.

[dorkypantsuit]

Or we're both great at it.

[forkedroad]

You're good at spinning perspectives.

I quite like you.

[dorkypantsuit]

[He laughs.]

The feeling is mutual. So how did you break your bones?

[forkedroad]

I broke one of my ribs falling off the roof of the shack I lived in when I fell on some large rocks.

I broke two of my toes by dropping a stone cauldron on my foot.

And I broke my arm because I was kicked by a horse, when I was little.

[dorkypantsuit]

Yikes, hoofbeasts are a danger no matter the planet I see.

[No Psi, you're thinking of a completely different thing.]

[forkedroad]

Not always. I think I'm just bad with animals.

And most things alive, probably.

[dorkypantsuit]

What does that make me?

[forkedroad]

What do you mean?

[dorkypantsuit]

If you're bad with alive things am I a zombie?

[forkedroad]

No, [she laughs] merely an exception to the rule.

I haven't interacted with a lot of people like this for ages, though. Not with such frequency, nor freedom. So maybe my point of reference is outdated.

[dorkypantsuit]

What do you mean 'nor freedom?'

[forkedroad]

I was isolated deliberately. When we made the rare foray into towns and things, which was perhaps twice a year, I was closely watched.

I'm a liability not to be taken lightly. [not bitter at all no sir ]

[dorkypantsuit]

I guess I was in a somewhat similar situation... I'm sorry you weren't able to interact with people like you wanted to.

[forkedroad]

If you're a criminal, perhaps you're referring to imprisonmet? [it probably doesn't convey, but it's some of Annabelle's dry humor, having often felt like a prisoner herself. ]

Anyways, it's alright; I knew it would never last forever, and here I am. And I've already met so many amazing people!

[dorkypantsuit]

Actually, my crime was for escaping, and helping others to do the same.

I'm glad you're having fun here. Some people have a hard time adjusting.

[forkedroad]

How noble. You're more and more impressive by the minute.

Oh, I suppose I could imagine. I don't personally understand, though. It's a wonderful opportunity in many ways, I think.

[dorkypantsuit]

[The word noble doesn't sit quite right with him, but he ignores it for now.]

And how are you using this wonderful opportunity?

[forkedroad]

To learn more magic. Different magic. Also, you know...adventure, excitement, friends, enemies, romance, murder!
