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 🔥🔥🔥.

I speak 37 languages and I still have no idea what in the hell you're saying with those hieroglyphics

You may want to pick things that people will recognize.
I don't know what starbucks or All Dogs Go to Heaven is.
Or May.

[ whew. ]

I’m not going to lie to you. 1. The white wolf’s name is Ghost. He is with me. 2. I miss apple cakes, of a morning. 3. Last I could find, my year was 1400 or 1300 or 1500. I don’t know. We don’t reckon them that way. It was 304 by our reckoning. We date it from the conquest of Aegon Targaryen. But some might say it was like the year 1400 in their own lands. All these things are true, or I believe them to be.

1 is the lie since it's objectively untrue.

1. I was born in the Pacific Northwest.
2. My sister is a singer.
3. I was once nearly turned to stone.

You have read the works of Dostoevsky?

[ About 75% of the message itself is incoherent to him, so Yakov figures he'll go with the familiar. It's rather surprising to see the name in print. ]

['Starbucks' means 'a Moby-Dick character' to Mops, and 'latte' is a flavor of gum. She knows about emojis, but the ones in use by the EMC are very different. This is a very confusing message and she doesn't want to look stupid by asking for context, never mind that it's quickly obvious many other people don't get it either. Mops can't really read people over text and it's harder to engage.

Doc's telling her she should probably not engage, given all that, and if she was smart she would listen. She picks a number randomly.]

Is it 2? I'll go. 1 - I grow Earth mosses and lichens as a hobby in my spare time. I would've loved to tend larger plants, but they don't survive long on a Krakau spaceship. 2 - I've never eaten anything as you would consider eating. 3 - I named myself for an evil scientist.

'Hatchlings' makes me feel like a circle mage's school project.
...sounds accurate.
🦠🦷🧙

Shit, these pictures aren't half bad. You know how many books I had to illustrate myself? Hand write myself? Farewell, year 9:40, it's been real.

Seems like a hard list to chose from when the first one is DEFINITELY subjective.

"hatchlings"

🤮

Just because they exist doesn't mean we must use absolutely all of them. 1 is dependent on taste. Assuming that isn't the lie, I pity your lack of latte range. My guess is 3.

1. I'm royalty
2. I head my government's Ministry of Information
3. The culinary staff of an elderly diplomat living out retirement in the hills of Austeria makes the best lattes

can't say I've been to kansas, but I hear dust in the wind used to be a popular song a handful of years ago.

[ ... too soon? ]

nice assembly of emojis there.
how about this:

1. I have a t-shirt that says 'superheroes need therapy, but get action figures instead'
2. The craziest drink I ever had was a shot that included snake innards
3. If I wanted to hide a body, I know exactly which alligator I'd feed it to

Are there more of the cat pictures?

Sorry, I know that's not part of the game, but it's important. Not important-important, but they remind me of someone.

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.

I miss Starbucks. I guess they aren't everywhere, after all.

...oh, it makes pictures?

[ Please excuse, Nina just found her new favorite thing about this place: ]

😍👋👌🎃🎉🎐🪔📘✨🎗🎪🎯🎖🔮🥇🩸🗡🏹🛡📞🥨🥨🥨🥨🍩🍩🍩🍪🍪🍪🍧🍧🍭🍭☕🥂🍻💦

...how can there be all those pictures of food and not a single picture of waffles?

[ A TRAVESTY of the HIGHEST ORDER.

...right, yes, the game. ]

It isn't really very fair for me to guess yours after so many other people have so:

1. My favorite color is red.
2. My favorite drink is coffee.
3. My favorite game is checkers.

Oh.

I realize we're from different "worlds", but it's strange to see "2018". What if that means some of us are from the same worlds but different times?

Like I'm from 2001.

So then...

I could technically be older than you, depending? Frankly, that's disgusting.

[THIS POST MADE HER THINK ABOUT BEING IN HER 30S....STOP.]

As a woman from 1185, do people really communicate with these little pictures where you're from? When you're from? I'm not sure which word is better.

Your party in 2018 caught on fire?

I don't know, these all seem like lies, and some of them are just terrible opinions to hold in the first place.

I think 1 is the most egregious.

1. I'm actually over 6" tall.
2. I am a pilot.
3. Before I was a pilot, I was a politician.

2 is a 'lady doth protest too much' situation so I'm sorry but I gotta go with that one

2801??
