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.

[Maul waits until he actually hears the words and then nods. Satisfied, he deactivates his lightsaber, and holds out a hand to help Altair get to his feet.]

You are reckless, sloppy with the usage of your powers, and you have a tart tongue.

[Honestly, Maul might have been that brutally honest even if he wasn't under the compulsion to tell the truth. He doesn't spare the feelings of others, especially when it comes to teaching them anything.]

But still. There is promise there, much promise. We will begin your training tomorrow.

[Altair's glowing eyes faintly flickered with an annoyed spark as he accepted Maul's help with a faint smile.]

Your tongue is just as sharp but I lost the bet so I'll let you get away with it this time. Don't expect me to just roll over because you're my teacher though.

[If Maul wanted a quiet and obedient student then he came to the wrong place. His sharp tongue was part of the deal. He suddenly tightened his grip on Maul's hand, a subtle threat in his tone.]

As long as you don't betray me I look forward to learning from you.

I should hope not. You would not be a good student of mine if you were meek and mild.

[One had to have a little bit of spunk if they wanted to get along with Maul as their teacher. He could feel that grip suddenly tighten and didn't blink in the face of it.]

Trust me, if I betray you, you shall see it coming from the front rather than being stabbed in the back.

[Maul wouldn't promise he'd never betray Altair, for that was not in his nature. But he would need a very good reason to do so, especially now that he'd taken on the young man as an apprentice.]

[Oh Altair had plenty of spunk and his glowing eyes faintly sparked with a bit of excitement at Maul's encouragement. Maybe this would work out better than he thought. He knew better than to trust Maul completely though, not after Her, but he relaxed a little at his answer.]

Good. I prefer honesty to empty promises anyway.

Wrap up!

On being able to provide that you can rest assured.

[He'd never learned how to twist words to suit his own needs the way his master had. The lies Maul told were more often directed towards himself than anyone else. With Altair, he would continue to make an effort to be honest.]
