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!

If I meant that I would kill far too many people.

[therewerefifty]

I have grown to tolerate it. A friend introduced me to headphones, and music on headphones. It helps immensely.

[therewerefifty]

Too affectionate. His admiration was dangerous. [Heavily. But she drags her eyes away from the kitten and she vanishes from sight briefly, rummaging through one of her lower cupboards. Then a bowl appears on the benchtop.]

Are you leaving the kitten here?

[miniroth]

I don't think he'd have started a fight, just decided you're one of his sins too, somehow. In fairness that's not something you'd have known at the time.

[powerandresponsibility]

I think being Peter Parker just kind of comes with the fact that we’re going to blame ourselves for things. Probably out of proportion for how much of a role we actually have in them but

Yeah, I hope we can get healthier about it and be ultimately happy

[powerandresponsibility]

Oh was he now? How so?

My Aunt May loved Joan Rivers. I don’t know if you know who that is? She was a bit… cutting with stuff sometimes and Aunt May would NEVER say the things Joan did but she’d laugh so hard at them and be glad that someone had the guts to say that stuff.

[apuckalypse]

[Aha. Cat pooka. He nods along. Wait, does that mean Thirteen made her an animal familiar by association, or she could do that all along and her role's actually different?

...He doesn't know how to ask that one. Although strictly speaking it doesn't matter unless a trial requires something of their roles, so that can be left alone for now.]

I like cats. [Hmm... this is a good starting point for research, or to ask Rue for more info if needed. Not so much to pry, but if she's got rules that could hurt her...] I guess it would help a pooka out if someone around them got it. Uh, if they had a geas.

[heyunderoos]

[What just happpened.]

Go take a nap maybe...? Raph will never find out if you take a nap.

[semilethal]

[thank god peter is not leo]

THANKS I'LL DO THAT BYE

[semilethal]

No I went outside for some fresh air and got slapped in the face with some kind of mystical fur ball and now I can't stop telling the truth

[semilethal]

HEY

[semilethal]

How do you know what I would willingly do

[semilethal]

Oh. I'm sorry

I didn't know you were basically enslaved. You just kind of seemed like the type of person who would just do whatever you wanted and screw around all day

[semilethal]

Sure fine we'll leave it at that [so Donnie can go have other conversations and escape this one before he confesses to something TRULY embarrassing (again)]

[heyunderoos]

oh okay?

Have a good nap, Donnie. You need the rest, you've been working too hard anyway.

[serendipitously]

That was an excellent suggestion on their part. What have you enjoyed listening to?

[scienceofthearcane]

[ That curiosity is about the only thing that's survived from who he was. ]

It is not necessary to use spells in order to use magic in the world I came from. While not always necessary. Some more complicated magic does require a spell.

[scienceofthearcane]

That sounds like a better purpose than the one you are manufactured for.

[scienceofthearcane]

Yes, I did. I was seven when I was sent to the orphanage.

[ And as a disabled child he was saved from a lot of the slave labor that children 13 and under were being bought for from the orphanage ]

[scienceofthearcane]

I have already explained the how. But the why is more down to my own issues with myself and wanting to cure what was broken about me. I can see now that it was those issues that the hex core was influencing.

[scienceofthearcane]

Are those certain aspects negative ones?

[serendipitously]

Negative and rather painful ones. I have a bad habit of avoiding my problems, doing whatever I can to not think or talk about them.

[doesntsing]

Handsome. Suave. Funny. [ She shrugs. ] Tragic.

I’ve never heard of her, but you think I’m similar?

[athiefalways]

I don't think you're weird, at least not any weirder than me. What do you think people say about you?

[cursedwords]

My job, mostly, and keeping myself out of trouble. A lot of people don't feel like they need a reason to hassle me. It's not something I advertise, I have no intention of dragging my friends down with me.

Not a lot of people listen to me about this. They either think I should want to go home or destroy this place, nothing in between.
