TALIESIN: This is a game we used to play.
MARISHA: What?
TALIESIN: Take my cards, set the deck down. Put a
question on the deck, whoever draws the highest
card has to answer it.
MARISHA: Wait are these like playing cards or
tarot cards?
TALIESIN: Tarot cards but they have numbers.
MARISHA: You know I fucking hate those things.
TALIESIN: I know.
MARISHA: I don’t want anything to do with them.
TALIESIN: I’ll throw one out there for you. What’s
the best lie you’ve ever told?
MARISHA: The best lie I’ve ever told?
TALIESIN: I’ll give you mine if you give me yours.
Whoever gets the highest has to tell.
MARISHA: Hmm…
TALIESIN: Or whoever gets the lowest has to tell.
MARISHA: All right, deal.
TALIESIN: Let’s roll d20’s, see whose number is
lower.
MATT: Yeah.
MARISHA: Let me flip to my backstory.
(laughing)
MARISHA: Just in case here.
TALIESIN: You can be a little vague with it. You
don’t have to be… I rolled very high.
MARISHA: Natural twenty.
TALIESIN: Seventeen, shit.
ALL: Ooh.
LIAM: You played yourself.
TALIESIN: I did.
MARISHA: This one has a pretty big number on it.
TALIESIN: Shite. Best lie I’ve ever told… I
pretended to be royalty for three weeks. For a scam.
MARISHA: That’s fascinating, what kind of scam?
TALIESIN: I was– Just a little while after I had
gotten my consciousness sort of sorted out, and we
got into a town and figured out that we could
actually get some nice digs and they were seeing
if I could maybe bullshit my way through it, and
it was kind of my test. So I pretended to be a
reincarnated royalty from across the sea.
MARISHA: Wow.
TALIESIN: Yeah. (laughing)
MARISHA: That’s pretty fascinating.
TALIESIN: That was a lot of fun.
MARISHA: Do you not like knowing your past, that
way you can have multiple backstories? Be multiple
people at once?
TALIESIN: I like knowing that because it’s not
there that it doesn’t matter? And it helps knowing
I don’t think it matters for anybody. I don’t care
where anybody’s from, it’s nice. I certainly don’t
care where I’m from.
MARISHA: I’ll tell you one of my best lies, the
one I was most proud of.
