[Video] SENDER: $jabberwocklove | RECIPIENT: $svelte[ALL]

[The tablet you have beeps with a message. When you open it up, it's a live video feed of a certain mascot rabbit. She adjusts the camera a tiny bit before smiling sweetly and backing away to give off more of a view of herself.]

Welcome, people not of Svelte! It's so wonderful to be able to talk to you all! Never have I ever imagined I'd get the ability to make so many new friends.

But that's the thing. We aren't really friends, are we? And I've noticed that many of you seem really scared or sad or angry or stressed out. That's not really any way to go about life, even if we're trapped here! That's why I have prepared a little motive for you all, one that would strengthen our bonds and bring us all closer together!

It's two truths and one lie! Now, a lie is usually seen as a bad thing, but in this case, I wholeheartedly forgive you! You can go around and do this to whoever you like, even me! And we'd have to guess which is the lie~! Doesn't that seem like a fun activity~? Love, love~

So! To start things off, I will be giving two truths and one lie to all of you!

I've always been called Usami!
I live on an island called Jabberwock Island!
I defeated many scary robotic beasts!

It's up to you to decide which are truths and which is the lie. Good luck, have fun, and never fall into despair!

Uh... Huh.

[That is certainly a bunny. In a very frilly outfit that Rich is trying not to wrinkle his nose at. He tries to focus more on what the rabbit appears to be saying.]

I mean, those all sound equally bizarre to me, but if one of them has to be a lie... Is it the part about the island?

[Names are changed in rare instances, and as much as he doubts this bunny's strength, she probably comes from a world where she can handle herself.]

Oh, guess it's the name one, then. How did you make the star noise with your mouth...?

[Maybe not important. He'll brush it off and switch his feed to public.]

Anyways, my name is Rich. Rich Goranski. Two truths and a lie, then...

My favourite band is Green Day, the instrument I can play is guitar, and my favourite soda is Dr. Pepper. Do those work?
firewalled: (The way I hoped)

[Whoops, he forgot about the part where she'd have to tell him whether or not he got it right. His answer was still private, but eh. It works for him!]

Not quite. I actually like Dr. Pepper. It's a lot better than the Mountain Dew Red everyone keeps giving me.

[Even if it's probably better to be safe, it still tastes gross!]
firewalled: (Feeling like a hero but I can't fly)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-07 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha, nah. It's actually the second one. Because I also play the drums too!

[He beams, though he looks a little sheepish.]

Was that cheating? Sorry, I didn't know what to say exactly.
firewalled: (Staring down the hole inside of me)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-09 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
That's cool! I mean, I'm not a famous either. I bet I'd love to hear her perform.

[He looks a little flustered, but he nods eagerly.]

Yeah, honestly. I haven't played in a long time, but picking up the guitar again has been great. It's a nice outlet for everything I'm dealing with, you know?
firewalled: (Having lied about the littlest things)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-10 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh... I mean, I guess so? Like I could play for you right here, or we can meet up somewhere... I like to practice in the park sometimes.

[Particularly when there aren't a lot of people around, but he feels kind of bad telling this weird little rabbit that he's too embarrassed to play for her.]
firewalled: (Choosing to act cowardly unfairly?)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-11 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I can agree with that! I'll be there in a couple minutes with my guitar ready. Just come whenever, I guess.

[It'll definitely be one of his weirder audience members, but he'll deal with it.]
firewalled: (The way I hoped)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-15 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rich eventually approaches the park, guitar slung over one shoulder, giving Usami an awkward little wave. It is... so weird to deal with talking animals, but he shouldn't judge, considering how fun Yakko turned out to be.]

Hey! Okay, fair warning that I didn't get to play for a while, so I'm probably a little rusty still, even if I've been trying to practice.

[He takes a seat on the bench, tuning a few of the strings.]

But I can play you a request, or just some of my favourites.
firewalled: (An empty shell built of lies)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-17 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, sure! Let's see, uh...

[It was only a matter of time before he played this one again. It's classic and simple, and a good warm up for him.]

whomst
but ok ill bite

ive got a collection of devil arms back home
i ride on rockets for fun
my last job had me want to punch a talking bird constantly

as for your three
have you always been named usami?
sassery: (and break ground)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-07 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Video, huh. All right, he'll return it, this time.]

I can get wanting a different name if you don't like what you've been given. I mean, your choice and all that, yeah? It's important.

[Though Nero's face visibly lights up on her guess, and he actually chuckles.]

That's actually not a lie, I wanted to barbecue that damn bird more than once. Almost punched him, too. Good guess though.
sassery: (tomorrow;)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-08 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[She actually gets a shrug at that- not as if he's blowing her off, but in an effort to explain himself.]

Violence is only a thing when demons start stuff. Otherwise I'm usually not the type to pick fights. Not anymore.

[Though Griffon? Man, that bird really liked to push his buttons just because he found it funny.]

Let's just say that the bird was a demon, and he really liked being an asshole to just about everyone.
sassery: (it was really only you)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-13 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, actual demons. [A beat.] From hell and all that. It's a thing that happens a lot back home. Why we have devil hunters and all that.
sassery: (all that you've known)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-20 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[That..... gets a pause, and Nero twists his mouth before huffing out a breath and finally speaking. ] Nah, I wouldn't say it's so full of despair. Scary? Maybe. And I mean, yeah, a lot of bad stuff happens with demons? But humanity still has a lot of hope. I've seen it.
firewalled: (Hey mayday!)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-05 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
those are all super weird
but ridingon rockets for fun? maybe?
sassery: (my faith or my stride)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-07 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
thats actually one of my arms
its a rocket and i ride it
also use it to kill demons but ykw
its part of the job
i have fun with it
firewalled: (The bad thing about regret is that)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-07 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
okay yeah thats extra weird
riding on one of your arms is
definitely a choice but okay

guess the lie is that you have a collection of demon arms?
i guess if you kill them you want nothing to do with em
or you just wanna collect their heads or something gross
sassery: (well it's all because of me)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-09 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
one of my arms is robotic so yeah
i mean its fun as shit
like being on a skateboard but you fly instead
good way to punch the hell out of a demon

yeah thats the lie but
okay so devil arms actually arent REAL arms in my place
basically if you kick a demons ass theyve got two options
one they die
or two they decide to give up in the fight and turn themselves into a weapon you can use
and someone i know has a hugeass collection
my uncle
ive fought him a few times with different ones and he really enjoys them
firewalled: (A prayer or two can take care of that)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-09 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
okay you have sold me on that
rocket powered skateboard sounds rad as hell
i just cant imagine riding an arm like a skateboard

but i guess arms are weird where you're from anyways

so what kinds of weapons can these demon arms turn into?
sassery: (too tall to overcome;)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-13 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
i can show you sometime
brought it with me and honestly its real fun to ride

uhhhhhh a lot?
like im trying to remember all the shit i fought against
gauntlets
swords
a suitcase that could turn into a fuckload of gun forms
a motorcycle
loads of shit
firewalled: (Just digging my grave)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-14 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
i think id like to try it
sounds like i could do some rad kickflips on it

your world is definitely one of the weirdest ive heard of though
like id love an arm that could turn into a motorcycle but im also pretty content leaving that in a shonen anime
where it belongs
sassery: (red hot temper)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-20 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
youd need to practice actually having it hover first
most of my arms are meant specifically for me
but i dont mind you trying so long as im around to make sure you dont run into problems
like slamming into a wall or something

oh no dude like its not an arm that turns into a motorcycle?
it IS a motorcycle
it just can split in half and be wielded like a weapon
bc it is
devil arms take whatever form they want
you rarely get one as an actual ARM or whatever
firewalled: (Mayday)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-21 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
wait wait then why can your arm turn into a hoverboard
from what i assume is an arm
while the demon arms turn into vehicles and weapons but never into arms?
i dont think i understand the world rules

which probably means if i did try to ride one i would slam into a wall
damn
sassery: (all of these voices inside my head)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-02-26 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
bc my arm isnt a devil arm
its man-made
probably lost you at this point right?
yeah i totally get how youd get lost
dont worry about it tho
deals still up to try the rocket arm for free and all that

nah if you got me there youll probably be a pro in no time
im good at keeping an eye on things
firewalled: (A prayer or two can take care of that)

[personal profile] firewalled 2021-02-26 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
sorry man
my world is mainly normal except for some weird underground tech
so im still learning to navigate some stuff

sounds like a lot of fun to learn tho
ill definitely have to take u up on that soon
sassery: (✝︎ to claim our fate)

[personal profile] sassery 2021-03-06 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
hey that works too
no worries

sure
you cant miss me if you ever see me
white hair and a robot arm usually

[ Elizabeth... has surely never seen anyone or anything that looks like Usami before. But that kind of enthusiasm and cheer is what matters most! ]

"And as in uffish thought he stood / the Jabberwock, with eyes of flame"...

That Jabberwock? I'm going to guess that one's the lie.
isochrone: (vaulted with all thy congregated might)

[personal profile] isochrone 2021-02-26 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
There's really a place called Jabberwock Isle? Where is it located?

Oh, that's a shame. I think Mr Carroll is a phenomenal new writer.
