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!

  • 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.

first you have to recognize the pattern. evaluate what choices you made that affected the outcome and admit that you weren't merely a victim of unfortunate circumstance but an active contributor to your own struggle.
then when you encounter another scenario, you have to make the deliberate effort to step back and reevaluate what your first instincts tell you to do, and choose differently.
if you were indeed looking to change. i'm not sure if i'm ready for that.

no, the unfortunate truth is you can do everything the right way. do everything you're told. follow all the rules. and still end up so absolutely fucked over.
moseyin: (so i was gonna just number these)

[personal profile] moseyin 2025-01-24 04:57 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] decohere 2025-01-26 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)

moseyin: (a chest filled with diamonds and gold)

[personal profile] moseyin 2025-01-26 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'M sorry.

Only good thing this place has going for it is letting people like you and him live at least a little longer. It's not enough

oh, he's here too? i'm not sure how i'd feel. i'm too wary of the terms and conditions to be fully grateful, but not having to live every day like it's about to be my last is...

a relief.
moseyin: used with permission! (yeah whatever AGAIN)

[personal profile] moseyin 2025-02-02 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah its the secrecy and the Trials and shit that put me on edge. And the 'reach your potential' shit. Too many clauses

If it wasn't for that I'd actually really like it here
Even if folks died too early, they can still have a chance here

potential can go off into several directions. we're not all on one straight path. not sure which one they're trying to push us toward. or why.

i was just barely saved from the brink of death. but i was a criminal, a fugitive from the law. not sure how much of a free life i had ahead of me. but here... most i've heard anyone talk about is a few years. people vanishing. how much of a future are we actually allowed? we're still on borrowed time at the whims of another.
moseyin: (who is in control?)

You really don't have to remind me of that

Most of us, probably
