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!

I had to get used to it too. at the start there were so many days where i skipped meals bc i wasn't used to having a stocked cupboard or fridge or w/e
like oh i'll eat breakfast and maybe supper
no!! idiot! you can eat lunch too. and snacks. you can eat as much as you want. it's crazy
i had to learn how to cook
i had to learn what spices even were
it's mindblowing to me how many foods there are
i want to try everything!

back home though it wasn't so bad. the nice thing is i never had anything else or barely knew it existed so i didn't really know what i was missing
or i guess "nice thing" is the wrong way to put it
plus side? could be worse? something like that
people would say "food used to be so good!" "i miss pizza!" but if you don't know what pizza is it's like
well, this rat's edible and my stomach's not growling today, so it's fine
i did have people taking care of me, too! sensei and my uncles and auntie april, they made sure i ate first
as long as we had food they didn't let me starve. i was lucky
i always thought it was dumb bc i was just a kid, they were out fighting a war, they needed energy to stay alive
after i started fighting too it made even less sense bc it was exhausting even when i was full
but after lily's dad died i gave her half my dinner a few times and it made more sense to me. you gotta look after the ones littler than you

i've never had crab. i don't think i've ever seen it before. it's like a shell thing right? i bet the shops at nymph port would know where to get it
