Truth Meme

Somehow, there is kirin on you.

Most likely, it is the fur of the kirin that was caught in the environment of wherever you’ve been; there is a stray hair on you because one was on the seat you sat on upon the train or because it blew onto the brim of your hat in the wind.

Or it may be because you met the kirin—a playful ungulate moose-sized spirit who prefers not to speak—and engaged with him and gave him a pat, or a scratch behind an ear. Maybe the kirin nosed or licked your hand because you made him laugh (it’s an adorable ‘keh keh keh’ sound).

Unfortunately for both you and the kirin (who had not meant to trouble your day like this, truly), this exposure to his dander has only one reaction, and it happens to 100% of Star Children: you are compelled to tell the entire truth. About what is less specific; you are compelled simply to announce things about yourself—your life, experiences, thoughts, opinions, feelings. No matter if it’s something silly and inconsequential, deep or secretive, life-altering or commonplace. Some may choose to do this by employing Foxi and their relic; others by finding people to exchange truth with to face to face.

When you have met the kirin’s subconscious desire for four hours, you will be free from the truth telling and the recipient of 24 hours of good luck. The good luck will be sometime in the next year rather than in the next day, and you may have no idea where it came from, but you’ll know a lucky day when you have it!

Maybe!

I think it's dangerous to assume people are stupid though, in my experience. Even if they are, no one's stupid in the same way as you'd expect

[nativized]

You're passively nice enough to talk to and you have concerns, even if they might have your own motivations for it, about people's well being.

Maybe you're crueler than you seem but the obvious vibe projected is nice

There's no reason not to agree with calling you a "nice guy" by vibe, yeah?

Still, maybe the impression'll change in person! Which, at this point, I'm now curious to experience.

[ihadstrings]

It doesn't really matter since I'm WAY smarter than anyone else around me.

[Or so he would like to think.]

[fogsong]

Yeah, okay, sounds like a plan. [ Popped tarts ] I'll introduce you to The Ring tonight.

[ricochetingbullets]

Buddy, if you're looking for a "normal person" to understand you, you are talking to the WRONG man. Most people might be able to understand why you feel the way you do but I don't give a shit. All I see is someone too pathetic to do what needs to be done.

And unfortunately I can't even lie right now to pretend I have even a shred of sympathy or compassion for you like I would normally do.

[Maul reached out with his full senses, scanning the area to pick up on the bits of life that surrounded him. Each signature of life energy was different and his senses were attuned right now as he tried to pick up on Altair's unique one. He thought he felt something drawing closer and paused for a moment, waiting to see if it would move.

When it did, he waited, and then whirled towards where he thought Altair was at when he got close enough. He struck out with the blade of the lightsaber twice in a sweeping, probing arc.]

[aquilasshadow]

"Normal" as is a normal human without any magic you frustrating bastard. But fine. Judge me like everyone else does. I can't lie and say I don't care either but fuck it, I'm used to it.

At least you're honest. It's better than fake sympathy or compassion.

[velocityraptor]

I don't really have time to worry about my emotional wants or whatever at home. All I do is work.

[ricochetingbullets]

What you sound like is half the people here who desperately need some damn therapy. Dump your problems on someone else instead of me. Caring about your tragic backstory is only going to end with me tuning you out.

You're one of the few people, all of them here, who have told me they prefer me being honest instead of trying to fake any usual emotions most people feel.

[lunchboxs]

It's better to not be sure than to think everyone is your friend and find out otherwise. [ experience talking ]

[lunchboxs]

What kind of question is that? Of course.

[aquilasshadow]

Yeah no thanks. I'm not going to trust a stranger with my secrets. In case you've forgotten I don't have a choice right now.

I meant it. I would rather you be an honest asshole than pretend you're someone you're not. I don't need your sympathy.

[When Altair saw Maul pause he stopped. Instead of coming closer he shaped his shadow into a human silhouette against the wall and had it move closer instead. His magic was tied to his soul and gave off the same life energy as he did. Would it be enough to fool Maul? Or is that deadly lightsaber headed straight for him?]

[zacrifice]

you could always beef up! build more muscle, look the part
or put a dress on. some dudes can be pretty women

[fogsong]

Don't think about it too hard.

[therewerefifty]

She certainly does poke. I suppose it doesn't matter to her if we just need time and space to process things on our own.

[moseyin]

Is that a movie
Sounds like a romcom

[fogsong]

I would tell you it's a romcom, but I can't lie right now.

I really wish I could, though. [ BECAUSE BOY THAT OPENING SCENE WOULD BE /CHEF'S KISS ]

[moseyin]

You think we should kill it?

[speaking truthfully (hah) it's a compelling idea]

[idratherdie]

Wait, holy shit, you wanna meet me in person? I mean, I’d be down for that, sure. Can you bring me some ice cream when we do? I’m nicer when there’s ice cream involved.

Ah, yeah, nice guy vibes… Never thought that would be how someone described me, maybe being here is good for me after all? Different world, different Angel y’know?

[idratherdie]

You got a place you stay at? I’m staying with this dude, Geto, dunno if you know him? But I can’t see him being happy about me having randos over, y’know?

Nah, it's not instantaneous. It takes hours, days, weeks, months, years, you wouldn’t even feel it either, I can’t feel it, doesn’t hurt, I just know I’ve drained you because I can just tell.

If I can touch you and not kill you, you’re my new besties, okay? No take-backs!
