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!

That's all right; I didn't want to write it. I hate for anyone to know I disagree with them. I might need them to think I agree with them later. It's only that I hate to hear anyone complaining about this place, because I have no place to go that's better.

I would like it very much if you didn't read this, either.

[moseyin]

so your faking it to make people like you. I did that for a while except they hated me instead bc I was an asshole and psychotic

HEY LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT IT HERE

[dohaeris]

My omen says it's fine to fake it 'til you make it 'til you do, 'til it's true. I don't want to explain about him. I'm sorry. I will if you ask me, but I hope that you won't. I think that's likely.

I like that no one starves here, and the winters are short, and you can make anything with Lore, which is so easy to earn, and I can go to school here for fashion or anything I want, and it's beautiful and peaceful. No one bothers me. There's no disease, and I don't think anyone dies for true. I like the spirits, and I like that the trials are easier than in Trench. I like that my friends are here, and that my family might come. That's my favorite thing. I don't wish to go on, because I don't wish to trouble you with words, though it makes it less likely you'll read what I write, and I very much hope you won't.

I must ask you what you like about it here, now. It would be rude if I didn't, and I do know you're friends with Sharon, and I miss it when we were all friends together.

I don't often talk this much, unless I think someone wants me to.

[moseyin]

I just skimmed all of that but I guessed you probably didn't want me to read it anyway so I don't feel bad

I like that this Planet isn't dying and that my dead friends are here and that I don't have to be on the run or fighting for my life every two minutes but I got serious problems with being told what to do. And that's a lot of what Thirteen does either directly or not. Tells us what we can or should do

I also don't like people I don't know knowing my shit and that's ALSO a lot of what happens here. Is strangers knowing my shit

[dohaeris]

Everybody knew everything about me, in my realm. I was watched all the time when I was at court. I had to do whatever they told me or else they'd kill me. It was better in the Vale, but I still had to do whatever Littlefinger wanted, so he'd help me. Even in Trench, you could have your worst memories sent to everyone, or they could learn everything about you from a book. I didn't mind it as much, because everyone always took my side. I often found it easier than explaining what happened to all my friends. In truth I have wanted to meet Sharon's other friends here, but I haven't had the chance to introduce myself. This isn't how I'd like to speak with anyone for the first time, but I think you might not read all of this if I put it in one long paragraph.

[moseyin]

Are you the same guy who started a war bc the chick he liked didn't like him back and so he wore like the war-starting color to her wedding or something like that

wait that could've been a girl
I dunno it was text

[moseyin]

Also 'Littlefinger' is the name of a scrub sorry if he's a cool dude but his name is embarrassing

[dohaeris]

The first part sounds like Littlefinger, but the second part sounds like Queen Alicent. Queen Alicent is here, but Littlefinger isn't, thank the gods. My omen would like to say he is a scrub and he gets no love from me.

[moseyin]

Maybe it was her then

What the hell's an omen. I mean I know the normal word but sounds like it's a person for you
