2 TRUTHS 1 LIE with a twist

You know the name; now, it’s time to play the game…in the spirit of romance! 1. Post with your character. 2. In your comment, have your character state three things about themselves with a love-themed bent. Preferences, crushes, secrets, hopes, dreams, anything. For the spicier takes, you can go smutty: past sexcapades, kinks, turn-ons, your embarrassing horny weakness, etc. just remember R E S P E C T towards others’ limits. 2 of those things should be the truth. 1 of them should be a lie. 3. Respond to other characters, and try to guess which one of their statements are a lie. Can you guess correctly? 4. Have fun! Take turns! And don't forget, sometimes the truth can be a whole lot stranger than fiction.

1. I've never had sex above ground.
2. I'm divorced.
3. I can make my own sex toys.

[erza_scarlet]

As... strange as it seems to me... that second one seems like the most likely to be the lie here!

1: I am Greek.
2: My father was a renowned painter and writer and director; I have never met him.
3: I am allergic to the sun.

[deadbirdarising]

You know....I don't think I've actually spoken to you enough as someone with the ability of human speech to know the answer to those.

[doesnotsparkle]

Did I fail at the point of this game?

[ He asked, the accent was certainly European or Mediterranean of some sort. The slightest lisp makes it worse thanks to those fangs that don't retract.]

[deadbirdarising]

No, the point is to try and stump the guesser with which one is the lie. So, technically, you won. Because I don't know which one of those is a lie.

I should cause Batman keeps stupid files on everyone... but I never read that shit. Not all of it, anyway.

[doesnotsparkle]

[ That got a chuckle out of him for the first time that night. ]

I certainly don't like the idea of those files, but it is rather common these days isn't it? Well, a point to me all the same, I suppose. Your turn, we can see if I do any better.

[deadbirdarising]

Trust me, I don't like those files, either. I'm sure the one he has on me is stupid thick.

Hmm... okay.

1) I don't actually remember the first time we met.

2) I have no idea if my father is alive or dead.

3) My favorite dessert is Creme Brule

[doesnotsparkle]

[ Those red eyes take in the younger for a moment. ]

I want to say the crème brûlée, but something tells me it is the first one. If the rumors are true and you are one of the first Robins, you would have been rather young.

[ He's only been arrested ONCE in Gotham; one does not forget getting kicked in unpleasant places by a child in pixie shorts. Who knew that would snap a vampire out of their bloodlust?

Though, he could be thinking of Dick.]

[deadbirdarising]

[He grinned, looking smug and very Robin-esque with his domino mask.]

I wasn't that young. You don't exactly forget kicking a vampire in the nuts to keep him from eating your face. Brulee is delicious, but cheesecake is my weakness. I would do a lot for a good cheesecake.

Point to me.

[doesnotsparkle]

[ The second time in one night he's made the vampire laugh. ]

Smart ass. [ he couldn't help it. ] Thanks for that, by the way; when Spider-Man found out, he started doing that.

[ Not fun. ] However, we must agree on the cheesecake. Give me a moment to think of another one.

[ For a man who had a wiki before he became a monster, he certainly doesn't expect people to know a thing about him. ]

[deadbirdarising]

[It was a good laugh and it wasn't like Jason hadn't long ago forgiven the man for said face eating. He knew what it was like to be a passenger in your own head.]

Hey, it works. One of the few times a sac-tap can save a life.

[He waved a hand, clearly in no rush. He was enjoying the rare moment of quiet, leaving forward to help himself to some of the snacks that had been left for them on the table. A hot pink cookie in the shape of a heart.

The irony made him chuckle as he bit into it. ]

[doesnotsparkle]

I suppose some good came of it. It would have been a shame to eat someoneone so amusing. Plus children's blood is a bite distasteful, even for someone like me.

[ He might argue no one else was in his head, but he did like to speak like his hunger was Morbius, while of sound mind he was Michael. A roll of those red eyes as Jason replied. Reaching for a cookie with his clawed hand. Silly ones indeed. ]

Okay. 1: I can fly, 2: Some morons tried to blackmail me into helping them by saying they kidnapped my mother. 3: An easy one, I won a certain award for my work in biochemistry.

[ The worst humblebrag, but how many villains have Nobel Peace Prizes? At least before they accidentally turned themselves into a monster. The news LOVES bringing that up every time he gets arrested.

Breaking a bit off the coffee before popping the piece into his mouth.]

[deadbirdarising]

[He snorted, shouting a grin up at his company as he took another bite of cookie. It was surprisingly good... and was that a tea pot? He leaned forward to lift the lid and take a careful sniff. ]

Trust me, there are hundreds of people out there who wish that you'd eaten my face before I had a chance to grow up.

[Bergamot and lavender made him make a pleased sound and he held his cookie in his mouth as he poured himself a cup.]

Oh.

[The cookie wobbled but didn't fall with the skill of a true smoker. He added cream to his tea before plucking the cookie free.]

I...I don't think it's actually true flight? I'm probably wrong, but I'm desperately hoping that the second is true and you will tell me that story.

[doesnotsparkle]

Well, I am certainly not one of them. I am a monster by accident, not by choice. Though my friends in the Monstermetropolis would be very cross to hear me say that.

[ he had been king of the sewers for a few years there; now the Midnight Sons kind of run it all and only ask him for help when they really need it. They know he doesn't like being in the sewers.

The lid lifted; he smells the tea as well. Nodding in approval, he didn't even ask when the waitress brought it, just asked for whatever was special for the day in this desert cafe. But from one previous smoker to another, oh, he sees that move. Pouring himself a cup as he nodded.]

Yes, it is more gliding than flying, not as fun as it sounds, but it gets the job done. Another point to you, Mr. Hood.

[zesti]

[ There is a long thoughtful pause before- ]

Three is the lie. That's my guess.

[doesnotsparkle]

[ He blinks a second before lifting his wine in a playful salute. ]

A point to you. Most would think so, but it just bothers my eyes. Your turn.

[zesti]

Your accent sounds Greek, and of the two remainding options absent fathers are more common than xeroderma pigmentosum.

[ For his reasoning, bit he's pleased to be right. ]

Let's see.

1- I actually enjoy those little cucumber sandwiches they have at afternoon tea and fancy gatherings.
2 - I saw the last performance of the Flying Graysons.
3 - My parents almost named me Noah.

cw; idk how to say this one? Absent parental abuse?

[doesnotsparkle]

Most of us living our lives around crime, be it heroes or not, all have absentee fathers. Though I don't have a complex about it, my mother did the best she could, given I was a very sick child that had to be confined indoors. My grandfather handled anything she could not.

[ He knew he was likely a shame to the rest of the family now, but he had been at his mother's side when she died... with the Midnight Sons and Jonny Storm making sure he didn't run since he was still serving a prison term at the time. Still, he loved his mother and would love to smack the shit out of his father if they ever crossed paths. ]

Given Tea sandwiches are a delight, I am going to assume the second. Given your age and all, didn't they die ages ago? [ He had definitely not left Greece yet when the Graysons died.]

[zesti]

[ That is true, absentee fathers seemed the luck of the draw especially in these circles in one way or another. Maybe that's why there were so many surrogates for them around.

Not thinking about that. ]

I was admittedly very young at the time, but it was quite memorable.

[doesnotsparkle]

Awful, I would imagine. No one wants to see that when going out to see a circus. And is that what led you to this crazy life we all live?

[zesti]

After a fashion. Not a direct line of - witness that, immediately start crime fighting, but it was a major factor.

[doesnotsparkle]

I would assume not a direct line; you must have been a child when that happened. Not that you are much more than a child now.

[ That's just because he's pushing 40. Ignore him.]

The Convict | Iron Lung | spoilers possible but marked

[radiobroken]

01. My faith never wavered.
02. I don't regret what I did for the mission.
03. I still think they'll find us or we'll find them, some day.

2

[strictior]

If you did, would the mission even begin to count?

Honestly. It's not about the achievement. It's about having the integrity to stand behind whatever the hell you did in the first place.

[radiobroken]

So you think I'm lying? That I do have regrets, and I'm not willing to stand behind what I did.

You wouldn't be the first to think that.

[strictior]

Hah. No.

[ Look, there's a reason James doesn't try to improve his own attitude or work on cooperating more with others, when it comes to his language. He finds it interesting when people feel a need to explain themselves. Being misinterpreted isn't something he minds and that laugh he gave? No offense in it at all.

It's not mean spirited either, though, at least? ]

I'm simply saying. Anyone with sense doesn't accept a mission then regret it. All you're doing is telling me you're actually worth my time.

Because I know how life goes. The idea of finding someone who's lost is the lie. Shit never actually works out like that.

[ Maybe once in a blue moon. As in he's seen it exactly once and he's not sure it wouldn't have been better for her if she hadn't returned at all. ]

[radiobroken]

That's assuming I accepted the mission in the first place. [His wry smile doesn't reach his dark, haunted eyes. He looks tired. He feels tired.] Or that I have sense, I guess.

01

[wrongfoot]

Never? That's fuckin' impossible.

[radiobroken]

Is that your guess, then? The first one?

[wrongfoot]

Yeah. Gotta be that one.

[erza_scarlet]

That's... not exactly following the rules of the game here. They were supposed to be romantic oriented in some way and... this seems a bit too much like you didn't follow that twist.

[Don't mind Erza... she's very strict about following the rules.]

[radiobroken]

You know? You know, yeah. Yeah, you're right. That wouldn't be the first time I didn't fully read instructions.

Okay, romance? Sure.

One: The person I love died because of me.
Two: I'm a virgin.
Three: I've never been in love.

1/2

[erza_scarlet]

Good! I respect a man who can follow the rules!

2/2

[erza_scarlet]

... Although given how tragic your first three were... I have to believe that number one and two are true?

[radiobroken]

Were the first three that tragic? I dunno, I guess I sort of... lost my baseline for tragedy somewhere along the way.

You got it in one, though.
