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!

A great evil darkness. It takes people over, uses them to hurt others.

[doesntsing]

She sounds great. I hope my career is that prolific.

[supersmashbro]

I MEANT LIKE HE HAS A HARD TIME WITH NEW STUFF AND PEOPLE SKILLS COMPLICATED NOT DEATH THREATS AGAINST THE FAM COMPLICATED
THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER TIER

[apuckalypse]

i'm not though
i'm not his family

[serendipitously]

Funny we talked about my dead lover? it's complicated? love of my life that I murdered? Anyway we've talked about him too. Real awkward. I try not to talk about Warren with anyone.

Can see how you'd be mortified of that.

I think you'd like him. He's got a nephew that's probably around your age here too.

[supersmashbro]

yeah you are!!! like
yeah obviously i can't make him feel a way about you or see you a way he doesn't wanna
i guess that's his business to work on?? it's a time thing.

but you're family to ME and to leo and april and mikey and rue right NOW and you're gonna be family to master splinter bc he's used to that kinda stuff
and donnie should at least know the ground rule to respect that
the family of my family is also my family! that's literally what all those fast and furious movies are about!!!

and he SHOULD KNOW that what happened wasn't even your fault in the first place! he's the logic guy.
i TOLD him he was mad about a buncha stuff that happened with the invasion but he never wants to listen to a heart guy ugh

want me to talk to him next time he resurfaces? i can talk to him i'm gonna talk to him consider him talked

[apuckalypse]

[on one hand: blessed, super touching, his heart doin the doki doki, never forgetting this as long as he lives, etc

on the other hand: screaming, screaming so much, he does not want this]

thank you but please don't
he'll just be annoyed, it'll make things worse
and like you said you can't make him feel what he's not going to feel
can't change what he thinks either and he thinks i had a choice and chose wrong

i'm probably just assuming the worst i mean "remove you from the equation" can mean a lot of things right
he can still go semilethal

[ha ha throwback look at us we are joking here]

[fogsong]

Regrets always come up with grief. Didn't do enough. Didn't say enough. Knowing that doesn't make it any easier, though.

Do you wanna talk about it?

[fogsong]

Why not? You could run off to a small village in Europe and spread the Japanese flavor to people who are missing out.

[fogsong]

You're welcome, Altair, and thank you. I'm grateful we're friends.

[fogsong]

How else are we supposed to cope with all this honesty?

I mean, I know I could just toss my relic out the window, but some people are blasting out secrets and I'm nosy.

[fogsong]

I can't even imagine what that disconnect must feel like.

I'll do whatever I can to help, Viktor. I got your back. [ And she'll keep an eye out for him, maybe even reach out to K if she notices anything strange. ]

[nativized]

Not that a lot here can hurt you, other than big bugs.

Pain comes for everyone. The pain of weakness is a pretty unique one!

Is it still there, even if you resetting him otherwise? Or did that clear him of the thing?

[nativized]

Yeah, so it seems.

I believe that's its intention, I just don't know if it understands people

I mean define modern, really. I'm at least a decade out of date myself

[nativized]

Not that I saw

And it seems other people saw it

some pet it?

[nativized]

Yeah.

I'll never stop regretting how one in particular turned out.

I think the Fox knew that really? Or

No it doesn't know anything specific like that I don't think its just the concept of emotional growth or support or something it doesn't need to *know* anything in order to operate as if it would. Or at least that's how I assume it operates. It made me confront confessing to some guy about what happened between me and Amira back when I first got here with some guy. His name's Draxum. Or was? No, is, he just isn't here anymore. Big goat guy.

Oh good rambling helps a little.

[serendipitously]

Plenty of things in Exile can hurt me.

To be honest, I'm not entirely certain. I believe it's cleared him and he's free of that monster. But I've avoided him since it happened.

[hollystrike]

As long as you don't need to go through any airport terminals. [Grin.]

...but thank you.

[licensetocrane]

ugggggghhhhh
its so annoyin to have to play ball like i wanna be petty and spiteful just because i hate people tellin me what to do
but i guess you gotta balance some inconvenience versus like some Inconvenience (TM)

[licensetocrane]

hey if you ever goofed around in vr training it definitely counts!
and call yourself i dunno
...dammit im tryin to think of a word like genderfluid only for living and dead my comedy fails

[licensetocrane]

LMAOOO i was bout to say well hey at least youre honest but /gestures at this entire situation
im tryin my best not to look but i am kinda failin by degrees
for i too am nosy
studyin to be a journalist and everythin back home its in the job description

[therewerefifty]

I don't know enough to really understand fully, but I think that makes sense. Perhaps it is easier on you both to just leave it in the past.

[therewerefifty]

[She offers him a smile at that, then crosses to her refrigerator to see if there's any leftover meat. A modern appliance she isn't scared of, at least.]

Do you function as a medic in a fight or do you have other magical skills?

[therewerefifty]

Oh, I see. I would assume this is the creature that is encouraging such honesty on the network.

[apuckalypse]

You joke, but I can't fly yet anyway since I don't legally exist. No airports for me!

[What even are airports, anyway. Donnie's probably going to have to forge some wild documentation when they go back, hopefully before he gets himself arrested for something. He doesn't know about passports yet, the horror.]

You're welcome. I'm glad you're okay.
