Can we all take a moment to admire the fact that 2801 technology still supports emoji functionality? 🤩 👍 🕷 💁 🩰 💫 🍆 🧊 💅 👁‍🗨 🎯 🤡 🔋 🐈 💲 🧙‍♀️ 🐦💋 🐜 👽 🕶 ⚡ 🕵🏻‍♀️ 💦 💦 💦

It seems like they're pretty set on calling us 'Hatchlings', so... hello, fellow Hatchlings, I'd like to play a game.

Two truths and a lie. I'll start.

  ① Starbucks makes the best lattes.
  ② I've never watched All Dogs Go To Heaven all the way through.
  ③ My birthdate is May 21st. What year? Every year. 😉😉😉 But my party in 2018 was 🔥🔥🔥.

Out of things to call us, 'hatchlings' could be worse, I guess.

For your statements, number one seems like a trap and number three would be kind of a cheap lie since there's way too many choices for a birthday, so I'm going with two as the lie.

1. This is the third world I've been to, not including my own.
2. I worked as a musician at home.
3. I was kicked out of a cooking class once for being a fire hazard, which seems like the kind of thing a cooking class is supposed to be helping with rather than a reason to not be allowed in it, but what do I know.

Gigerlings is growing on me, I admit.

Two is absolutely the lie, I like your very clear and formulaic reasonings there. ⭐ Please accept this gold star.

Let's see... I'm going to go with 1. Maybe if you'd said 'second planet' I'd be more willing to buy it, but I'm not entirely convinced there's that many planets in reasonable distance that can support carbon-based life-forms, you know?

（ oh, his is definitely also the second. his first and third are too specific, and all that does is sharpen her interest in him. ）

Thanks, I feel appreciated.

I wish that were the lie.

[He's so over this world-hopping thing, though to be fair--]

Technically two were Earth, and only two were other planets, but they were all different dimensions so I'm counting them separately.

[He's purposeful with what he's revealing, though he can't tell through text that she chose the wrong answer intentionally, so it doesn't bother him to discuss it further. It also might tell him a little about her in return.]

（ a spy and a psychologist walk into a bar... ）

I mean, I don't think anyone is going to judge.

Just Earth for me. In 2023.

[Someone get out the 5D chessboard.]

You're a little ahead of me; it was 2014 when I was home, though the last Earth I was on it was 2512 or something.

So I'm guessing the Mayans were wrong in your world too, huh?

（ that's her subtle way of asking about an alien invasion in 2012, since that's when the chitauri rocked up on them. ）

And wow, that's quite the jump. Time travel?

[lifetothefullest]

Yeah, though wasn't there something about thaat being the wrong system and so the year the world was supposed to end wasn't really 2012 anyway?

No, but just as ridiculous. World travel.
