"Oh, it's not that late, I'll just go to bed after one more quest," said every New Vegas player ever.

From kd7sov:

Two truths and a lie! Say three things about your pup, two true and one false. Then see if you can figure out which ones are the lies about other people's pups.

Ok. Been thinking this one through, and putting my own twist on it:

Two truths (one canon, one headcanon) and one lie about Joshua Donovan:

1. He distrusted Prof. Reynolds (MacPherson) from the beginning, but used the compass for his own ends anyway.
2. He eats junk food when he's working.
3. He has recently made an almost-frightning discovery at CERN, that molecules are being collided even before matter is being released. Time travel? Maybe.

[leeshajoy]

I'm gonna guess #1.

[damncompass]

Right in one! *applause*

[pickledtribute]

Ace McShane:
1) Once served as a waitress, and managed to earn a living, until she was fired for being rude to a patron.
2) Blew up the haunted mansion at the edge of town.
3) Cannot drive, though once the Doctor let her drive his beloved 'Bessie', for reasons unknown. (temporary insanity?)

Yekaterina:
1) Has (or rather, had) an edged weapon collection that would rival just about any other on earth in terms of sheer number and variety.
2) Held a not-so-secret crush on Freddy Mercury, though she never broke ranks to go do something about it.
3) Was picked up as a child in Moscow by the boss because of her natural talent towards shape shifting.

Haymitch Abernathy:
1) His main weapon in the arena was traps and snares, which he learned in the forests surrounding District 12.
2) After his tenure as a working Victor, he retired to 12 to raise geese, which might be the only living creatures ornerier than him.
3) He isn't just a drunk, he's a committed drunk - he gets DTs like hell when forced to go dry.

I'd do Oswin but Moffet will make a liar out of me in twelve hours, and the rest will have to wait until my lunch break.

[gavin62truck]

Ace: 1
Yekaterina: 2
Haymitch: 2

??

[pickledtribute]

:D So sorry, incorrect on all three, though to be fair Katya keeps a bit quiet about her Freddy love. But yes, that man, in those pants. Mmm.

To see Ace as a waitress, rent 'Doctor Who: Dragonfire' :D

[gavin62truck]

Dammit! I TOTALLY had a suspicion that Katya had a thing for Queen.

[pickledtribute]

Given half a chance she would have been a Queen groupie, yup. There's a reason Ivanovich didn't send her for training or relief work anywhere Queen was playing - she would have been AWOL so fast it would've made heads spin.

[1nv1nc1ble]

Apropos of nothing, the Evil Overlord of Planet Viltrum looks like Freddy Mercury. To say nothing of being fabulous in a fur-collared cape.

[varadia]

I am hampered by my inability to remember how Ghost Light ends.

RO. UNFAIR.

*cries*

[pickledtribute]

MWAHAHAHA. Though, you do get bonus points for seeing the canon reference. :D

[gavin62truck]

For Tommy:

1. He finds Ellen DeGeneres attractive.
2. He lost his virginity with a schoolteacher.
3. He was afraid of heights as a child.

For Lou:

1. He was in the same class with Tommy at the Fire Academy.
2. He has tried yoga.
3. He married a hooker/pornstar.

[pickledtribute]

Tommy: ....... 2?

Lou: .............................................. 2 again. Um.

[gavin62truck]

Tommy: correct! 1 and 3 are canon facts. Seriously. ("...What, have you seen her dance?")

Lou: nope! XD

[sunbaked_baker]

For Lou: 1?

[gavin62truck]

Bingo!

[sunbaked_baker]

Mwah! :D:D:D

Twilight Sparkle

[no_vampires_plz]

1. She hates cottage cheese.
2. She took piano lessons as a foal, but never pursued it further after her first recital.
3. Her favorite book is Canter in the Sky by reclusive author Jade Singer.

Re: Twilight Sparkle

[kd7sov]

Well, there's one of those I know is very likely true, even if the comics aren't necessarily canon...

I'mma guess 2.

Re: Twilight Sparkle

[no_vampires_plz]

Got it in one!

Alyx Vance

[vance_prime]

1. She's never tasted pineapple.
2. She can't drive worth a damn, but is too embarrassed to admit it.
3. She knows the ASL alphabet and a handful of words as well.

[kd7sov]

Felix:
1. Hates popcorn
2. Has exactly one niece and one nephew
3. Has never in his life exited pursued by a bear

Fluttershy:
1. Has all the Con Mane novels
2. Met Harry the Bear a few weeks after Party of One. He still teases her about her excuse in that episode.
3. Actually had been near the ground before the fateful Flight Camp race, but she was too young to remember it

Kain:
1. Knew Cecil some months before he ever met the King of Baron
2. Doesn't have the falling dreams that most people have
3. Cried the first time he had to kill a dragon

Cranky:
1. Was born and raised in the western part of Fillydelphia. And if you start singing a song that phrasing may happen to remind you of, he will never forgive you.
2. Met his true love at a ball, then dedicated himself to finding her
3. Is secretly a longtime fan of DJ PON-3's

[no_vampires_plz]

So Cranky's not a fan of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Mare? ;)

[kd7sov]

Nope!

Which, one might note, does not in itself mean that entry is one of the truths.

[hey35andholding]

Cranky's is 2, obviously!

[magnetic_hair]

Ha.

(Also, on another note, I don't know if you noticed, but app-this-plz appears to have posted early.)

[boomsticking]

Muahah <3

[Ugh! I was banking on them posting next weekend. Since it's too short a notice, I guess we'll be skipping this month and starting fresh in May.]

[awesome_binomial_theorems]

1. Moriarty has never played chess in his life. He only has a vague understanding of the rules, and calls Rooks 'Castles' and Knights 'Horsies'.

2. Moriarty occasionally fears that one day the university will realise that he's too young and too lower-class to be a professor and throw him out.

3. Moriarty kinda dislikes his brothers. He can't relate to them, and they can't relate to him, and every time they meet it's just general grumpy bewilderment.

[souffle_girlek]

Oswin says one and is kinda laughing about it and will totally take him to town if they play. :D

[awesome_binomial_theorems]

Noooope! One is completely true.

[saphyria]

Sunshine:
1. Was very close to her mother's side of the family, growing up.
2. Barely graduated high-school.
3. Dislikes watermelon.

Yrael:
1. Owns a harpsichord.
2. Thinks about someday writing an autobiography.
3. Occasionally likes to watch Mythbusters.

Zelgadiss:
1. Once developed a crush on a prince cross-dressing as a princess, while Zel was also cross-dressing as a woman to keep from being executed by the queen.
2. Can calculate the pounds-per-square-inch of wind-power needed to propel a holy sword-wielding princess safely across a battlefield and into the temple in order to re-seal a giant, rampaging sand-worm and save the sand people.
3. In order that the group could enter unscathed into an ancient tower full of animate dolls, haunted by the ghost of a man who had sealed the soul of the woman he loved into a doll so she could never leave him, Zel had to dress up as a frog, which he felt to be very degrading and embarrassing. Especially when Lina (dressed up as a horse) started teasing him by calling him "Zelga-froggy."

[no_vampires_plz]

I've seen the Slayers episode where one of Zel's things happens. I'm gonna guess... 2.

[sunbaked_baker]

Nope! Slayers Try, Episode 4. :D

[gavin62truck]

Sunshine: 1?

[sunbaked_baker]

*confettis* Yep! Rae's mother's parents disowned her for marrying Rae's father, and it was only after the Wars that her mother's sisters found them again and got in touch.

[kd7sov]

Hmmmm.

I'll guess 1 for Yrael. I could totally see a cat wanting to remind the world of how awesome he is (and really, what other purpose does an autobiography have?) and mocking the Mythbusters' explosions.

[sunbaked_baker]

Nnnnope! Yrael bought himself a harpsichord a few years back, from an instrument catalog provided by the Bar. It's green and gold. :)

[1nv1nc1ble]

1.) Mark will be forced to fight his favorite comic book character, Science Dog, in the near future.

2.) There is a mad scientist building zombie cyborgs at the college Mark's going to be attending in the fall.

3.) There is a mysterious substance, Element V, that will rob Invincible of his superpowers and slowly kill him.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

3?

[1nv1nc1ble]

Ding! We have a winnah!
