Well, hi there everybody.

I'm with a bunch of the other new arrivals, and I have got to say this has been a real exciting time so far. A new world, people from other worlds -- that's super fascinating.

I sure can't wait to get to know you all better and make some friends.

So let's do a bit of an icebreaker:

1. What's your name?
2. What's your favorite game?
3. What did you do for work on your world?
4. What's your favorite hobby?

I can start.

1. Sombra
2. I'm a big fan of "two truths and a lie".
3. Contractor.
4. Making friends, of course.

Now, it's your turn.

[Text features on a communicator? Brilliant.]

Ah, so you're one of the recently arrived also? Brilliant! I, too, have only recently arrived. It's a pleasure to make your slightly anonymous acquaintance, Sombra. I shall answer your questions, which make me sound tragically dull, and then we shall see where the day takes us, yes?

1) My name is Dorian Pavus
2) I'm quite fond of chess
3) I was a researcher turned social pariah turned researcher
4) Reading with a nice glass of wine

Now, then. Just what is this "two truths and a lie"? it sounds enticing.

[doxxing]

Don't shoot yourself down so fast, Dorian. I'm sure you're a real interesting guy.

It's a pretty simple game, actually. You say three statements, two of them are truthful and one is a lie. Then the other person playing with you has to guess which one is the lie. When they get it right, then it's their turn.

It's a nice way to get to know people.

[tevinteraltus]

Ah, no. You mistake me. I am, quite honestly, exceptionally interesting. I only sound like a dullard on paper, figuratively speaking. I could also say I know at least 25 ways to melt a man's face off, but that seems excessive for a first meeting.

Oooh. It sounds fun. We should play.

[doxxing]

I guess text can make someone sound a little boring, couldn't it?

25 ways, huh? You're a busy man.

Sure, I'd be happy to. Would it be easier if I started?

[tevinteraltus]

Yes, sadly, but it's so convenient otherwise.

Busy, yes. Most of the time, but also creative in the use of fire. That, however, is a story for another time.

By all means. It is your game, after all.

[doxxing]

Sounds like it. I'd like to learn more about that sometime, Dorian. You sound like you have a lot of interesting skills.

All right, here goes:

I've traveled around most of the known world where I'm from, I specialize in hand-to-hand combat, and I was part of a gang once.

[tevinteraltus]

Oh, you have no idea.

Alright, then. Seeing as I know nothing about you, not even your gender, I shall have to take my 33% chance of accuracy and select the second, only on the grounds it is unlikely an avid player of this game would make the lie the third. I may, of course, be wrong.

[doxxing]

[But she will.]

You're a smart guy, aren't you? It's the second one. Not really into getting into the thick of it, you know?

There are other guys for that.

[tevinteraltus]

Naturally. I, too, prefer to operate from afar. That being said, I believe it to be my turn, yes?

Alright, then.

1) I have seen a literal tear in the sky firsthand.
2) I have only recently learned what a 'bog' is.
3) I prefer cooler climates.
