voice

[rathercommon]

[ Kitty's voice is cheerful, girlish, and energetic. She hasn't been around lately: the effects of getting out the warning about the invasion of Olympus had intense physical effects on her, and a long period of unconsciousness has been followed by a period of working hard to recover from that physical weakness. So this post's chipperness is partially motivated by the fact that Kitty's persona/alias Lizzie is just a chipper person, and it's partially motivated by the fact that Kitty wants to prove to herself that she's recovered and in good health and spirits. So...Honestly, that energy is frankly bordering on manic. ]

Hullo, Zion! Or at least the network-users of Zion. It's Lizzie again.

A few things. The first of these things, I think, is going to make some of you quite happy. I expect a lot of you remember the restaurant I work at - Cafe Modak - it's the one with the best food in the whole city, so you might have heard of it. If you pay attention to those sorts of things. Anyway, Chef and Mrs Dutt - that's our owner - are putting together a little celebration dinner, for the people who helped defend Olympus. And also when I say little celebration dinner, I actually mean that it's going to basically be a feast. Everyone's invited, but people who helped out get to eat free. So if you've got any dishes to request, just request them here, and I'll pass it along to the two of them.

Anyway, the second thing is that we really don't all know each other so well, do we? I mean, we do all use this, but I hardly know any of your names. Or anything about you. So we ought to play one of those silly games like they make you do, to get comfortable with the people around you. So...How about we play a few rounds of two truths and a lie? If you all know that game. Or you could do a little introduction speech. Or just talk about your favorite sims, if you do sims.

[ Translation: let me pick your brains and figure out what sorts of people you are. ]

[ha.]

Okay.

[rathercommon]

[ Oh. ]

Okay. So...Two truths, one lie.

[axeyou]

Two truths, one lie. Two truths, one lie...

[To herself, like she's committing these rules to memory.]

[axeyou]

This is stupid. This is really stupid. This is not stupid.

[rathercommon]

Ugh. About yourself.

[axeyou]

Oh. Sorry.

[not.]

You first.

[rathercommon]

I already did a couple.

[ ...but, with a sigh, because cooperation and not-having-Johanna-call-her-out-on-being-a-liar-in-public is better than pride: ]

But I can definitely do a few more, if you'd like me to.

[axeyou]

[yeah that's what I thought sit down Lizzie, which translates mostly to Johanna sounding pretty smug when she answers:]

Yeah, I really would like you to do a few more. Go ahead.

[rathercommon]

Okay. How about - I had a dog back home, I'm better at cooking than I am at sewing, and I detest tea with flowers in it.

[ There. All very neutral. It'll be a challenge for Johanna to make A Big Deal out of that. ]

[axeyou]

God, you're boring.

[rathercommon]

So, have you got a guess, then?

[axeyou]

Do I have to, it's so hard to tell which one's the lie.

[Since, you know. They're probably all lies.]

Tea with flowers. I guess.

[rathercommon]

I didn't have a dog.

[axeyou]

You're right. You didn't.

[rathercommon]

[ ugH ]

Anyway! Now it's your turn.

[axeyou]

I had a dog back home, I'm better at cooking than I am at sewing, and I just hate tea with flowers in it.

[rathercommon]

[ ugh ugh uGH
she wants to get a little bitchy at Johanna but Lizzie doesn't get bitchy, she has to keep sounding all sweet ]

Oh - no, you're not supposed to just use mine!

[axeyou]

Those are mine, actually. Wait-- wow. Are they really the same? Maybe we're more alike than you'd think.

[rathercommon]

Ha ha ha. That's so cute, Johanna.

[axeyou]

You don't sound very amused. Am I annoying you?

[rathercommon]

Oh, no, not at all. I'm actually quite hard to annoy. But seriously, have you got some of your own?

[axeyou]

You know, some people would take that as a challenge.

[but ok playing along for now, after she heaves a huge sigh...]

I broke a nail yesterday. I have a pet, here in Zion. There's a bar out there where I get free unlimited drinks. For life.

[rathercommon]

[ Oh hey. Is this for real? A little warily: ]

You don't have a pet, I think.

[axeyou]

I call him "Pet".

[rathercommon]

Um...
