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!

Yeah, because it's something you want. I did the same shit with my dad when I had to.

[cursedwords]

It's true. I know I complain a lot but it's not like I had nothing to do. I could listen to music pretty often, or play video games. Passed the time.

[fogsong]

Music and games are good. I was more a movie girl to pass the time. And sneaking out.

You sneak out?

[cursedwords]

Only once. Didn't end well. They were torn up about sending me to school too. Can't let someone with my powers out of their sight, in case I do anything.

But the Elders decided it, they didn't have a choice.

[fogsong]

Every time we talk, I'm reminded how glad I am you're here, Toge.

[cursedwords]

Sorry, sorry. I probably shouldn't complain about it too much.

I'm glad I'm here too. I really like it. Well, not the trials. But being here with nice people is pretty great.

[fogsong]

Nah, no apology necessary. I honestly think you should bitch until it's all out. We keep that shit locked up, and... You know how it goes.

Yeah, the people make it worth it.

[cursedwords]

Tends to be really easy to keep everything in because I can't exactly vent like other people can. At least the people I've met here are willing to listen.

[fogsong]

That we are.

If you ever need to get shit off your chest, just message me. I'm here to listen.

[cursedwords]

Thanks Sharon, you're the best.

[fogsong]

You're welcome, Toge.
