2 truths and a lie; daemon: janad

[it's an odd combination of motivations that has janus sharing today. sometimes a mangling of boundaries is a good way of setting them.]

2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Alias here

1. I can deconstruct an Oreo perfectly. I can separate both chocolate halves and the icing into three separate parts.
2. I have a tattoo of Disney's Timon and Pumba.
3. When I fell out of love the first time, everything changed because I came to understand that nothing changes. I was sad for years. When the sadness started to go, it left in starts and stops. Those moments of relief weren't because I had healed. It was only because I had forgotten for a short time that I had lost him. Every time I remembered, I lost him again. Often this would happen when I was dreaming. My mind tried to make sense of this by making up worlds where I could have what I wanted. But there is no such world. There is this world, and it is good enough.

One Of These Is A Lie

I'm going to have to go with Number two.
Though if you have such a tattoo, I would love to see it! That sounds rather cute.

[ She'll... get to that third one shortly, however. ]

bloody hell 3 is so melodramatic i'm hoping it's the lie

can we consider tdm canon? c:

[bangitybang]

You vastly underestimate me
Or possibly yourself, I woild like to be a figure of inspiration and not needless competition
:)
You've a sweet tooth?

are we going to consider our tdm canon pls pls

[bangitybang]

You are correct
I do not have such a tattoo
Though I do have one that references the movie in question, the Lion King
It sounds like you are familiar with it?

[bangitybang]

I'm afraid not
But I think it's common for true earnest sincerity to appear dramatic
Particularly when reserve, sarcasm and irony are the staples of self-defense. Most people aren't very complicated about protecting themselves.
You seem familiar

I've never had an oreo.

[He has, on the other hand, had the kind of feelings illustrated poignantly in that third paragraph. It's much too raw and detailed to be anything but honest; out of empathy, he doesn't address it directly.]

[bangitybang]

That seems like a pity even though they are not good for you
would you like to try one?
I might be able to locate some

[tangleofgarlands]

I've done things that were probably a lot worse for me than eating a biscuit.

I'm sort of curious, but you don't have to trouble yourself. I don't imagine you can just pick up a box at corner shop.

[bangitybang]

It is so much more than a biscuit
(It isn't, I'm trying to be funny)

[overexplained jokes: a janus thing.]

I think the way this place works, it won't be too difficult. I can find some
Have you found somewhere here to live?

yes, ofc!! holds this cr close to chest

[memoryguardian]

Oh! Do you now?
Can I see it someday?
And, yes, I am. Lots of children love the Lion King, it was hard to miss when it had first come out.

yes ofc!

[mordacita]

more than unsweet at least
food has little appeal to me in truth.

but i do not believe you
prove this oreo ability to me. let me see it

[bangitybang]

Yes, you should see it
I cannot take credit, my body looks like someone else's apart from some difference in muscle mass
But I like the tattoo more than some of my old ones, when my body looked like that of yet another person. (It's a Hunter thing)
Are you more like Timon or Pumbaa, what do you think?

[bangitybang]

Ah yes
Vampire, I remember

I have already been charged with a quest to find Oreos (to share).
I will conserve one for the purposes of demonstration
We should make a proper wager out of it

[tangleofgarlands]

I dunno, I think you might be on to something there.
From what I've heard, although I don't know many Americans and I've never been myself, it's sort of a cultural phenomenon,
isn't it?
I think that might qualify it as more than a biscuit. Depending on how you define 'biscuit'.

But I suppose you're probably not here for a discussion on the zeitgeist of the US as represented by prepackaged sweets...
Er, I haven't really put much thought into living anywhere permanent.

[astralera]

I can only assume that an Oreo is some type of dessert? [ now she has a craving for chocolate - thanks for that! ]

And my guess would be that the second is the lie.

[bangitybang]

I am not trying to make insinuations about your living arrangements, I'm only trying to determine the best place to bring the Oreos once I have found them
But I'm happy to learn about the zeitgeist of the United States and prepackaged sweets
That was outside the scope of my education and I like learning about things
Oreos are absolutely a cultural phenomenon. The trick to them is one I'm exploiting to build rapport with you. I don't know why people prefer things to be difficult, but that's the case with these biscuits
It makes more sense to me than the call of say, black licorice
But I may just be biased against black licorice

[bangitybang]

Yes
Well sort of, it's a sweet snack food that can be indulged in for dessert. I'm newly on a quest to find some
I will save one for you if you like.


Your guess is correct
You're familiar with Disney but not Oreos?

[ Ignoring the game entirely and going right to the heart of things, as she does, ]

How do you 'fall out of love'?
I've heard that before, but I don't quite get it I guess.

[astralera]

I would like that, thank you.

I'm familiar with neither. A tattoo seemed the most likely thing to lie about.

[vexy]

ugh really. darling, that's ridiculous. have you tried booze? that usually kills the brain enough to stop the dwelling.

[bangitybang]

[this is why we believe in rosie above all things ok!]

I have heard the process varies for people but I think the weird thing is that it varied even within me

There were years I spent thinking I had simply made up the person I was in love with. The objective reality was that he kept many secrets from me and many things I had not shared with him. Not small things. Matters of honor and principle. I had known there was a lot he wasn't telling me, but I chose to ignore it. Instead I filled in the blank spaces with childish inventions. Forgivable mistakes, romantic fantasies. Sometimes I still think that now. People fall badly in love with ideas all the time, and often enough their own. The trouble might have been that I didn't know it

Other times I think it was just grief in the classic way with all the stages. Crying at night until I would go to sleep, crying when my dreams turned bad, crying after I woke from them. After the first year, I learned to keep two glasses of water at my bedside to prevent dehydration. After awhile, you get tired of crying. You learn acceptance. Kubler-Ross, you might have heard of her?

[bangitybang]

That's a good point
Cunning deduction.
Disney is a company that, among other things, produces films (moving picture stories) that have been popular with human children in my world
They are not always good stories but this one was quite entertaining

Do you recognize chocolate for what it is, or was that a clever guess as well?

[bangitybang]

Yes, sometimes
I'm not dwelling anymore though. I'm sharing an experience of my childhood which was formative to how I am now
Probably not moreso than how my mothers taught me to fight, but that seemed like a less friendly conversation.
I would also prefer my brain live
You should consider the same

[vexy]

right, i doublechecked your daemon's name and you're not my mate Spocky so i think i'll call you Spocky 2

dead brains are so much more relaxing
