two "truths" and a lie. ( daemon: d. )

2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Kaz Brekker.

1. Before I landed here, I was hunted as a Grisha who could read minds.
2. My hands are disfigured, so I always wear gloves.
3. I inherited five million kruge when my parents died.

One Of These Is A Lie

I wonder, are we allowed to ask for definitions before we guess?

[ex_stony881]

What do you need defined?

[lacquers]

Grisha is a word I'm not familiar with. And context clues would indicate kruge is a type of currency, but I wouldn't know the value.

[ex_stony881]

Hard to define the value of a currency between worlds. What shall I say? One kruge for bread. Three for cocoa at the harbor. A roll of a hundred for time with a girl. Thirty thousand for a ship.

The Grisha are practitioners of some ancient magic, or are gifted with powers in their blood to shape the world — depends who you ask.

[lacquers]

In other words, five million would make you very wealthy. Are you very wealthy?

You mentioned mind-reading. Does that mean there are other ways to use the power a Grisha can possess?

[ex_stony881]

Not currently. Money doesn't mean anything here.

Grisha can go a few things: heal people, or alter someone's features, or move metal, or control water. I don't really know all the categories, and some of it depends on how strong they are in the first place. I imagine some heartrenders can't even manage to inflict shortness of breath, but I've seen others tear swathes through a group of men.

[lacquers]

But no place is without currency, whether or not it's monetary.

Very diverse abilities then. And not totally understood by most people, but their existence is fairly common knowledge?

[pillz]

can u send me a pic of ur hands
the gross part

[ex_stony881]

Why.

[pillz]

cuz its gross and ist cool

[ex_stony881]

I've already said I wear gloves to hide it — if I really were disfigured I doubt I'd take them off just to satisfy a stranger a's morbid fixation.

[pillz]

wat if i got a fix for it
magic sperpowers
th healing juju machines around town

No.

[hasitsthorns]

2 seems too obvious
you seem like a pretty spiffy possibly rich dude
so i'm going to guess 1
because if you could read my mind, I'd have probably realized
probably
but i'm like 90% sure that's the lie

[ex_stony881]

[ he's going to guess this is rose, since he still hasn't met many people. ]

You're right. 1 is a lie. I can't read minds. My life would be a lot easier if I could.

[hasitsthorns]

Yatta!

What do I win?

also I think it'd be easier but maybe boring too?
it can be frustrating sometimes not knowing what people are thinking, but if you ALWAYS knew then it'd take the fun out of getting to know people!

[ex_stony881]

Is that fun?

As for what you win, I didn't realize I should include a prize. Tell me what you'd like.

[hasitsthorns]

For me it is!
Most of the time.
Is it not for you?

[ Don't say that, Kaz. Her mind cycles through, like, at least five inappropriate things to answer with before she decides it's probably better to just. Not. ]

Uh
「(°ヘ°)
How about... your time!
Just a little bit.

[ex_stony881]

[ using the text to make little faces is new to him; he picks up what it's meant to be this time, at least. ]

An expensive reward indeed. All right.

[ also he's just not. answering. that first question. the answer seems too complicated to try and write down where anyone can see it. ]

[estrayer]

The second one's the lie

Disfigured hands. Am I right?

[ex_stony881]

Interesting. What makes you think so?

I'm just curious if it's more than a random guess.

[estrayer]

Couple of reasons
I've never heard of a grisha or a kruge, and given we're all from different worlds, that means there's more of a chance they're true

Then you said disfigured, but unless we're only talking about looks, gloves wouldn't be enough to hide it
If it were about looks, I don't think you'd draw attention to it here. The only scars I'd tell people about are the ones I want them to see.

[ex_stony881]

That's good reasoning.

You're right, of course. If I was disfigured I wouldn't use it as part of a game, especially not if I spent so much time covering it.

[estrayer]

Of course not. A disguise only works if no one knows it's there

Can I ask about the things I didn't know? Grisha especially
Are you one?

[ex_stony881]

Grisha are magic users.

[ He's very glad Magnus has helped him establish that terminology. ]

I can't actually read minds. It would be useful if I could, I imagine, if only for the wealth of information, when everyone here is a stranger.
