For "true in the fiction," you might say something like "the day the Chamberlain started to stink was the day he consummated his scandalous love with the untalented apprentice perfumer; by coincidence, he met with the adventurers in the inn that very afternoon," for instance.
On what day in the Chamberlain's fictional life did he start to smell?
For "true in real life," it's like, okay, at some point it became true in the fiction that the Chamberlain smells. At that moment, player 1 looks at his watch. What's the time and date? Which session of play were the real people in, when it became true in the fiction that the Chamberlain smells? (Or was it outside of play, at the players' secret meeting?)
If it never became true in the fiction, then of course there was never a real-life moment when it became true in the fiction.
