[vintsparkler]

Alright, spot the lie.
1. I was expelled from university.
2. Wine is my favorite drink.
3. I can’t swim.

[bobsicle]

[ Wow, this is actually hard. So there's a brief delay on Bobby's end. ]

Maybe number 3? [ Totally just a wild guess. ]

[vintsparkler]

Correct, it was almost 2, because wine moves around on my list of favorites. Depends on where it’s from.

[bobsicle]

Wow! I got it right! That's really cool.

What's your favorite kind of wine, then?

[vintsparkler]

How did you figure that out?

Red, specifically from my home, Tevinter.

[bobsicle]

Process of elimination, I guess? You're smart so I'm sure you wouldn't be expelled.

And you also like to drink. So wine has to be up there somewhere.

What's Tevinter like?

[vintsparkler]

Oh, I was expelled.

But you’re right, I do make my love of wine known.

Humid. Laden with as much history as corruption.

[bobsicle]

Oh, I misread that as you weren't expelled so I guess my victory earlier is a fluke.

Sorry to hear about the corruption from your home, though.

[vintsparkler]

Could go again with a different set, if you’re up for it. Or if you have some of your own to share.

No place is perfect, but it’s home. And I was spoiled by very high quality wine… Beer and Brandy are close seconds.

[bobsicle]

Okay, I'll keep these drinks in mind when you drop by the Abyss again.

Anyway, while I'm thinking of my own set, you can give me yours in the meantime. Let's see if I can get it right again.

[vintsparkler]

Thank you.

1. I love the ocean.
2. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies.
3. I’m an only child.

[bobsicle]

Oh, this is harder.

[ Which is emphasized by a delay on his end. ]

Maybe number 3 again?

[vintsparkler]

No. I am, in fact, an only child.

It’s number 1. I do not like the ocean, especially the one here in Duplicity.

[bobsicle]

Oh dang, I didn't win this time.

I heard there's a creature in the ocean here in Duplicity, so I understand that. But why don't you like oceans in general?

[vintsparkler]

That's alright, you're still winning knowledge, if you think about it that way.

I've never had a good experience at sea, and I get horribly sick when the waters turn even a little rough.

[bobsicle]

Oh yeah, that's right. I'll totally think about it like that.

Sorry to hear this. I like the sea and the ocean, but also because I can freeze them. Have you always had seasickness?

[vintsparkler]

Should I quiz you later? See how much you’ve retained?

[ he is, for the most part, kidding. ]

It wasn’t so bad as a child, but the older I got, the more unpleasant it all became and now just being near rougher waters on shore is enough to make me ill.

[bobsicle]

Is that the next part of the game?

Oh, and is there any reason why this got worse when you got older?

[vintsparkler]

Not unless you want it to be.

Yes, because I was old enough to try and run away or chase after my own pleasures.

[bobsicle]

I think I'll skip quiz time for now. Sounds like a lot of work.

But anyway, speaking of, guess it's my time to think of things for you to guess.

[vintsparkler]

I suppose it would be, yes.

You haven’t already?

[bobsicle]

I haven't yet, so here we go

1. I'm the eldest of three children.
2. My ex-girlfriend is currently here in Duplicity.
3. I like mint chocolate.

[vintsparkler]

My gut is telling number 1, but 2 seems oddly specific and unpleasant. 2 is my final answer.

[bobsicle]

It's number 1 actually. I only have one sibling and I'm the eldest.

[vintsparkler]

Oh, damn.

I want to ask what it’s like to have a sibling, but also, your ex is here in the city? How’s that working out for you?
