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!

Fingers crossed it works how you need it to.

Hey, let me ask you this: how did you feel when you learned about Vincent? Are you all right doing that to someone else?

Also, you can just ask someone for a hug. If you need one, ask. If you want one, ask. It can feel embarrassing if you're not used to it, but most people like hugs.

Darth Maul | Star Wars | Familiar

[survivalthroughhate]

Text; un: darkness

1. I never want to return to my home galaxy. There is nothing waiting for me there but a lifetime of pain and death.

2. I still think it was my fault my family died.

3. I have one tattoo which is white instead of black on my lower left arm because I once got magically changed into a child by a witch and that was a permanent reminder that remained after I got changed back.

4. Wildcard! Text the grumpy Sith Lord.

Action

1.Maul had ended up forced to tell the truth because like a fool he'd found the kirin adorable and scratched him behind the ears when he saw the spirit was friendly. Now here he was, forced not to engage in the lies and double-talk he was so often fond of. He could be found outside his windmill home, methodically brushing out the fur of Cranky, his pet Mankey. The ferocious little Pokémon had very nearly been put to sleep by the soothing, repetitive motion and Maul found it felt therapeutic on his end to be the one engaging in the quiet action.

"I feel I should be angrier than I actually am," he said to anyone nearby. "But I've experienced far worse things in my life than being forced to tell the truth now and again, even if it never ceases to be an irksome experience overall."

2. Wildcard! Maul can be found at his home in Never Fade, the Lavender Institute, or Agrona Academy. If approached at the last one, he'll insist on a sparring match even as he continues to tell the truth.

[ It takes her a few minutes but she manages to send the recipe she uses. It's a pretty standard one all in all. She's rather proud she managed to send it too! ] It's blueberry. I think I've managed to make it look similar to how he did, but the flavor always feels lacking.

[complicity]

You get used to it. We weren't always like this and it's not as if we're not up and down like any family.

Our issues just have higher body counts than most.

Sometimes it's easier to just accept it might happen and try to work on a plan for what you'll do after. How you'll deal with it and how you'll fix the damage you've done.

accursed running at the mouth truth requirements

[miniroth]

If it doesn't, I'll manage. It just helps make it safer for me.

We're not spying on anyone. It isn't that he was a cat it was everything I would have never let him see if I knew it was him.

Why does it seem like every time I want something good for myself on my terms in ways I'm comfortable with, it's actually bad and I'm not allowed to do it? Or I have to do it the way everyone else wants, and never mind how it makes me feel?

Someone always turns up to shame me or remind me to not step out of my place.

I guess you could call it an IM or a PM or even a snap if you're going the short video route. I always thought of it as texting, though. Really weird texting.

[woenesday]

I didn't. The worst part was the aftertaste they left in my mouth, but the flavor wasn't as abhorrent as I wished you to think.

Why do you care about my opinion on fries of all things?

[vervains]

I guess I can't say too much with the skeletons I found in my families closet. Maybe there is no perfect normal family.

[zacrifice]

no because i'm so fuckin tired

[oh that's. not what he meant to say.]

[faceblocks]

i respect ur committment to the bit even if the bits like being blase about stuff or saying u hate it

if u hated them id have to pick smth else to hand u next time u looked hungry
its hard to tell if ur rly hungry or just side eyeing stuff
but 50/50 chance so
handing over food makes things less awkward
its not 💯 but more like 70/30

Dex had gotten a bit more used to Ava after living as her neighbor for close to a month. Her personality reminded him of an angry, hissing alley cat most of the time. And while she still resembled that to some extent, she seemed far more open than he was used to.

There was an amused expression on his face as he listened to what she had to say. "This is a change. Usually I'd expect a scathing insult or threat of bodily harm by now."

ow my heart hurts for him

[fogsong]

Do you have any idea how you sound right now? You're all right with ignoring other people's potential boundaries to get what you want from them. That's fucked up.

As an aside, I don't give a shit that Casimir is an Omen. If I'd known, I'd have let mine out. She likes to be chased.

[fogsong]

What the fuck does that mean, Zack?

[faceblocks]

she isnt not at all
i liked bausphomette too
really over half of them not the worst
i dont mind this one too much but i can see why ud hate it
and im sure ill eat my words at some point
i mean why make people say all the truth when theyre not ready thats
idk its kinda a dick move to some people

thats one of the best things about this place i couldnt agree more
better than trench in that way because no trenchies and their infighting and we dont have to do food drops at the docks because no ones starving and no riteoir either good riddance to that one that was the fucking worst thing i still have nightmares about it sometimes even though i say im fine im not fine about that

i think u could do it
the way ive seen u pull stuff together here u could make the north just like this
but without the weird curses and trials
it wouldnt be perfect bc nothing is but itd be great

"I seem unable to make threats that I don't fully intend to commit to, at the moment," Ava admits with a slight huff at his clear amusement at her expense. "I rather people think I would harm them more than I actually want to do so. Because it keeps them away."

Ava crosses her arms a bit protectively over her chest, feeling oddly vulnerable that she can't seem to stop herself. "I don't know why I'm telling you this. I would prefer you not know it."

[fogsong]

That almost terrifies me more, honestly. Once you press some buttons, there's no fixing the damage after.

[miniroth]

You don't need to remind me that I'm "fucked up", it's not something I'm allowed to forget.

[fogsong]

If the flavor is lacking, maybe he made a more unique blueberry pie. Is it possible he used a different citrus for it?

[serendipitously]

I like to think that's not always true, that anything can be fixed eventually. At least death isn't a problem here.

So are you more afraid of how you'd deal with it yourself or if your friends here wouldn't forgive you for it?

[woenesday]

The bit is attempting to make certain that people dislike me. It's less effective here than anywhere else.

Staying silent or walking away from a situation also serves to make it less awkward. Offering food only prolongs exposure to one another.

[zacrifice]

i don't
want to talk about it

[which is, in fairness, the truth. but the compulsion demands, so:]

i was angry every day for five years straight
every day since nibelheim burned every day in that goddamn lab every day that asshole cut me apart and dumped chemicals and aliens into me every day i wasnt allowed to be human bc no one looked at me like i was one anymore
every day on the run from turks and troops and clones and scientists and i just wanted to go HOME and no one would let me
angry for cloud and aerith and me


im TIRED
im tired of being angry

[zacrifice]

what's a pthumerian?

i'm not from Earth but i'll look up the Swift lady's music. i like learning new tunes so could be fun

the clones in my world are all of the same guy, genesis. they were making a ton of em to try and figure out why they were degrading i think? or maybe to take over the world. or maybe to find some goddess

gonna be real i never understood what was going on just knew they had weird ideas and kept fighting me

[faceblocks]

depends on the person
tons of places people hate each other for a whole bunch of reasons and only some of them make any sense

true true esp the walking away bc then u just leave the other person with the awk
but yeah if u stay quiet long enough theyll prob move on
tho then u miss out on food and dont get any lore to use
prolonged exposure
u make it sound worse than a trial
is it really
besides the trials where the whole point is talking
is talking to someone worse than weather shit?

[apuckalypse]

yeah exactly

"The Others"?

what's the difference between being good and being kind to you? how does one get you killed but not the other?
