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!

Here? I suppose I do. I have a lot of friends.

You have nice eyes.

[ Shit, where did that come from? ]

That’s good. Because you seem pretty great.

Thank you. You have very gorgeous blue eyes. And… everything else.

[He knew where that had come from.]

O-Oh? Wow.

[ Slick, Midge. ]

That’s kind of you to say.

I wanted you to know that I noticed your eyes when we were on the train and we were talking after I got rid of Joel. And your smile. I noticed that too.

I was embarrassed because I looked like a puffy red mess.

And here I was thinking it was unfair that you still looked so pretty after crying. But that didn’t really seem appropriate and I was more worried about how you were feeling.

You thought I still looked good?

You're a very beautiful woman. I don't think there's many times you're not beautiful.

[ She’s blushing now. ]

I’ve heard that before, but it’s particularly nice coming from you. I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because you’re kind of cute.

I always thought you were the better-looking Peter Parker, but the other one is also way too young for me. I feel like his mother.

Well, I'm very flattered you think I'm kind of cute.

I appreciate the compliment though as out of the three of us Peter Parkers I'm the only one that's single.

There are three of you?

You seem like kind of a nerd too.

[ welp. ]

Sorry.

It's a long story that involves the multiverse and parallel realities.

I probably seem like kind of a nerd because I am a nerd.

Oh. I only know anything about any of that because of being here.

You admit it pretty freely. Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing.

It definitely made showing up here a lot easier.

Well in the future nerds kind of rule things. Not that it’s better because of it but it’s not the stigma it used to be. And even when it was… that’s who I am.

They do? [ That’s surprising. ]

I never thought I’d find a nerd so attractive.

Absolutely. Think about everything you do with the devices we have here. In my time everyone carries one of those. Nerds are the people who built and understand them.

What's your usual type then?

That sounds more like an inventor.

I was told recently that I have “I can fix him energy”, which I take to mean that I like men who are broken in some way and need to be fixed. That’s not necessarily wrong, though it wasn’t like that with Joel.

I guess I like men who understand my sense of humor and can make me laugh.

A lot of those inventors started their own companies that became very, very successful. A lot of them are billionaires.

Well from what I remember of your show you won’t have much trouble with the first part of that.

Like Tony Stark?

So you understand my act? You don’t think it’s too crass or vulgar?

Maybe? I only know him through the other Peter.

No. I feel like you use “crassness” as a seasoning but you’d be funny without it. I got the sense you did it less to be titillating and more to make a point that you should be able to say those things without it being a shock that it’s coming from a woman more than it would be shocking if a man said them.

He was here for a while.

…You do get it. Not everyone does.

I kind of would have liked to meet him, I've heard good things about him. Well, impressive things.

Well I think you're brilliant at it.

Oh he was impressive.

Thank you. I appreciate that you understand what I’m trying to do.

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.

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

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

Right, right. Your typical genius scientist then.

I do. She's a bit more... cutting. She was also know for commenting on red carpet looks but she also did her own thing and had a lot of bits about how women are viewed as objects and really let public figures have it.

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