Truth Meme

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!

  • This meme is game canon unless marked otherwise at the start of threads! Threads can be used for spoons and application samples.
  • Assume all characters involved on this meme are affected.
  • Characters will compulsively state truths about themselves/their feelings on the network or in-person. Top-levels may include either/both options.
  • Please include prompts in your top level.
  • All questions will be answered with complete and total honesty. No special abilities, half-truths, or omissions can avoid sharing all of the truth.
  • Meme is open until the next truth meme!
  • After one month, you may use the kirin mechanic generally in game. It can be one-sided! All truth-telling characters must consent.

[YEAH GURL TOUCH GRASS but like, gently. Also ask first, consent is important.

He smiles gently at her suggestion, obviously approving before he even speaks.]


I think that's a wonderful idea. Don't wait too long, else you might never do it. But here's my suggestion: just before you think you might be ready for it, you do it then.

That seems like a very difficult time to pick, but I think I know what you mean.

[She reaches out to scritch the kitten before it can fall asleep in with its face in the bowl.] And to find supplies for this one as well. Its well being should not be at the behest of my moods and inclinations.

[There, see if she frames it as 'for the cat' she can probably do this.]

No one is expected to be perfect. I think you'll do alright, but if you run into trouble, either for yourself or the little one, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm not far, so it's no inconvenience.

[Since she seems concerned about bothering people, let's nip that in the bud a little bit.]

And you can expect me to check in more, going forward.

[YOU'RE ON HIS RADAR, prepare for friendship.]

[Oh, uh-- well--

--he put that very nicely. Never mind the vaguely skittish look for half a second before she decides that's probably... okay?]


I'll do my best not to be concerning...? [That's. Actually a way of her basically saying he's welcome and she'll try not to be so miserable about it, but you know. (This lady is trained in the arts of conversation.)

Let's try a little harder.]
If you tell me your favourite tea, I'll make sure to have some on hand.

[He will try to have faith in her, while at the same time remain pragmatically vigilant. Have fun, Makie.]

It's a rare day that I find tea unpleasant. I'm sure whatever you have is fine, but if you find any floral blends that you enjoy, those are the most like home for me.

[He's a huge tea snob but his complaints are mostly internal, give him whatever.]
therewerefifty: (not so bloody relief)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2025-04-13 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm still experimenting with different teas myself. [Some faint amusement.] So I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

[...]

Thank you. I think an outside perspective is wise, sometimes.

I really appreciate that, very kind. If you figure out a preference, do let me know. You're always welcome at my place.

[Quit bein a homebody and visit your friends, too. He does shift to rise back to his feet, though, giving the kitten a little parting scritch.]

I should be on my way. This isn't a great situation for fair conversations, and turns out I have a lot of plants to move around now.

[It might take a while for her to sum up that courage, but she'll get there eventually. The plants comment mystifies her for a moment, until she remembers Akechi was also keeping plants. (Under protest.)

She moves with him to see him to the front door like a good hostess.]
I wish you luck. I'd offer you assistance with those, but you can probably see from my garden that I am still learning. [Though there are signs!! Of an actual garden taking shape!!]

[He chuckles as he steps out.]

You're doing fine. Just in case, though, leave it to me. It'll spare you his wrath should he return and find a single one wilting.
therewerefifty: (look I can be happy)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2025-04-19 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Will he notice? [That is an innocent question. But her mood is lighter at the idea he might come back to gripe about plants.]

Thank you, Sir Clay. I look forward to seeing you again.

[Okay, he laughs properly at that. Will he? Who knows, but just in case.]

You as well! Until next time, Miss Makie.
