One Of These Is A Lie

PLEASE say #2 is true because that's brilliant

[tangleofgarlands]

[Well, someone was going to address it eventually.]

it's true. It was supposed to be a five-way but one of my flatmates was sleeping off a hangover.

[vexy]

what a shame! ah well, there's always time for another five-way

[tangleofgarlands]

You say that as though I know more than three other blokes here.

[vexy]

you'll get there

[deathstouch]

Is 2 the lie?

[ It sounds quite awful to him. ]

[tangleofgarlands]

No, actually.
Sometimes I have difficulty believing it myself, but my partners have assured me it really happened.

[deathstouch]

That is some start, I suppose...

[tangleofgarlands]

You're right about that.
it didn't give me time to overthink anything. I'm pretty sure that was the point, though.

[deathstouch]

I suppose that it could have been worse.

[astralera]

[ she doesn't understand most of what anyone is talking about in these posts, sadly. so she has to ask questions and make random guesses. ]

May I ask what an album is?

My guess will be the third.

[tangleofgarlands]

Oh. Er--it's like a large disk with grooves in it that plays a recording of music. You can call it a record too, actually. Usually it comes in a sort of paper sleeve with pictures of the musician on it.

You're correct, in any case. I actually prefer coffee. Tried it once and I've never gone back.

[astralera]

So it would be similar to my world's Orchestrion rolls. Thank you for the explanation, ser.

I enjoy both, but have a preference for hot cocoa.

[tangleofgarlands]

it's no trouble. You can just call me Arthur if you like.

I haven't had hot cocoa since I was little. My nan used to make it for us.

[astralera]

I am Era. It is good to meet you, Arthur.

I have not had cocoa for many moons now.

[ not since rescuing Aymeric from The Vault... ]

oh my god number 2 better not be the lie
that's fucking awesome, man

[tangleofgarlands]

it's true.
I'm not sure if this is the right thing to say, but thanks. I think.
It was fun. Sort of like learning to swim by throwing yourself in the deep water with a bunch of friends nearby to make sure you don't drown.

[bratpack]

man, i wish i lost my virginity in a four way
you're the fucking boss, man
that's pretty much an orgy you lost your virginity in an orgy.

how old were you???

[tangleofgarlands]

the whole thing was mad.
I...wouldn't call myself that, though. My mates did all the work, I just. attended the experience.
I suppose you could call it an orgy but I never thought of it that way.

I was a few weeks shy of eighteen.

[bratpack]

yeah
that's awesome, you get mad props
stop playing it down, dude, you're living the dream

Since I'm not sure what an album with and the second one seems like the type of answer to throw those guessing off, I'll say it is number three.

[tangleofgarlands]

You're correct. I drink tea because everyone else drinks tea, but I recently started drinking coffee instead.

An album is a recording of music, by the way. It's a large disk with grooves in it that line up to a needle, and it spins and plays back the sound. Usually it has art or pictures of the musician on a paper cover.

I have the album I was talking about with me, but I don't have anything to play it on.

[remarkablymodest]

I have always been more a fan of tea, I must admit.
But maybe someday here I will have the chance to try coffee.

Something akin to an Orchestrion and Orchestrion Rolls then.
Not quite the same, but it sounds like the have a similar effect.
They are rather recent inventions to come to Erozea.

[tangleofgarlands]

Coffee is a lot stronger, both in taste and in caffeine content, which is why I prefer it. I could understand--if you'll pardon the pun--if it's not your cup of tea, though. It's something people seem to feel strongly about, one way or the other.

I do know of a cafe that brews a good espresso, actually, and steamed milk does cut down the bitterness somewhat.

I've never heard of Erozea, but records have been around for a while in the UK.

How's the sound on an orchestrion roll?

[remarkablymodest]

I am willing to at least give it a try.
I do like my tea sweet, however, so the bolder flavor might not be agreeable to me.

Eorzea is a continent on the planet Hydalen.
I am not from earth though it appears to be common that people here are.

It is rather beautiful, if I do say so myself.
I don't have one installed in my home personally but I have visited others who have.
