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!

But sometimes it's not. I have too. I could justify it, say it was to protect people, but the way I enjoyed may say something else. [ this will live rent free as one of her worst experiences here so far. ]

We're both liars then. But I could check, see if you're lying, even if you hate it. Only if you tell me here and now it's alright.

There's always a way to justify it. [ And sometimes she likes that. Merging with Alessa really did change her or maybe this is just how she was always going to be. ]

Oh, I hate this, but yeah, you can check if I'm lying. But how would I know if you are?

I know. I'm an expert at it at this point. If I wasn't I'd never sleep.

Good question. I can bond with people psychically, at the bare minimum it allows both parties to know when someone's in distress and gives more of an ability for the other party to tell when I'm lying. Or hiding my thoughts. I can't imagine anyone who would want that though.

I feel that.

Is the bond easily severed if it doesn't work out? As wary as I am about these kinds of bonds, I recognize how useful it could be given our... unique power bullshit.

As long as it doesn't run too deep, it is. It's harder to sever when there's other more intimate connections too. Obviously not a concern.

You can deepen a connection by fucking? [ WELL YES OBVIOUSLY SHARON—tho she means it on a psychic level. ]

Yes. There aren't many acts that are more intimate, are there?

You can also fuck in the mind while not being there in person.

Or if there's enough trust between partners you can keep the channel open so both people are able to hear eachother's thoughts and feelings during sex. Knowing just how much someone is enjoying themselves enhances the experience. There's a lot a psychic can do for that.

I don't think I've been more mortified in my life. None of this would matter for a bond between friends.

None of this matters at all.

Forget all of it.

Yeah, but I don't want to forget any of it, Betsy. It's all pretty interesting! [ And also it's a billion times more enjoyable to discuss than the thing they started out discussing, right? ]

My partner and I have a Familiar pact, so we already play around with sharing thoughts and feelings during sex. But mind fucking is a new concept to me.

Well.

Outside of the negative connotation.

It's not. Terribly boring really.

Having had psychic bonds with several friends back home and my last partner, I've been a bit reluctant to consider forming a familiar bond here. It seems rather similar in some ways.

But at least that means you understand how much better it is to share that, huh? Until I came here I'd never given much thought to it potentially being seen as odd by others. It's been strange. I only recently tried it with someone and I still can't quite decide if it was a mistake or not.

It's special, doing it in the mind like that. You can build a perfect setting, pulling positive memories of places from both your minds. Look any way you may want, share as much as you want.

Oh, yeah, terribly boring [ Not! ]

Why would you think it was a mistake? If you like them, and you had fun, and it didn't get too too weird, doubt it was a mistake. Unless they're an asshole?

Oh. And how would a psychic accomplish that, exactly? You know. If someone wanted to surprise their partner.

Can I bribe you in any sort of way to forget all of this?

Bit of an asshole, but I happen to like that. And no, it surprisingly wasn't weird at all. I was worried with him being human it would be but he's been suspiciously accepting. I wonder if it's not a mistake because it's become complicated. Something I wasn't looking for and that never ends well for me.

Hypothetically of course? I could show you sometime if you'd like to see if you can learn. I might be able to drop the instructions in your mind.

Teach me your ways, oh wise one, and yes, I will conveniently forget about everything we spoke of here. And that's the truth because I can't fucking lie right now! (Instruction drop approved!)

Suspiciously accepting? Given where we all live, I think that's probably close to normal. Shit gets weird here. [ Fun psychic sex? Yeah, that's a fun/normal weird to Sharon. ] Complicated sounds a lot like code for feelings. I think if you don't want it to continue, tell him. But there's nothing wrong with having fun with complicated. It's not like we know how long we've all got in this snowglobe.

[ YOLO is what she's saying. ]

[ Well.... consider instructions dropped in the most awkward telepathic info dump imaginable. That amounts to instructions on how to make the best psychic roleplay room and scenario one can make. The sky is the limit. She should feel guilty about sharing this but doesn't.] Now we forget, right? Although now I miss doing that with someone.

Bloody truth.

Complicated is complicated. I try to not think too much on the feelings aspect. Things go wrong for me there. Either they die, I have to kill them, I die, or it just becomes an unsalvageable disaster. I don't see it being different with this.

[ Betsy will one day reap the benefits of this telepathic info dump! Likely in the form of randomly dropped-off homemade meals—sometimes enough for two. ] Consider it all forgotten!

You don't see it being different because you haven't had the chance for it to be different. Just... I dunno, do what makes you happy. That thing I've forgotten about could be fun with them.

[ she would secretly almost appreciate that since she can't cook and barely eats. she needs an adult. ] Oh don't suggest that. Then I'll feel like a child fretting over if I asked if he'd find that too intimate or weird.

I don't enjoy feeling uncertain.

[ Sharon Da Silva is the friend for her. She likes to share food—especially because the household cooks fairly often (even if Rose is... still learning). ] Can't fault you there.

I asked my fiancé out by asking him on a friend date first. We'd just been talking about his dead wife and... Fuck, yep, I'm still embarrassed.

Funny we talked about my dead lover? it's complicated? love of my life that I murdered? Anyway we've talked about him too. Real awkward. I try not to talk about Warren with anyone.

Can see how you'd be mortified of that.

I think you'd like him. He's got a nephew that's probably around your age here too.

Are all the beginnings of relationships supposed to make us want to bury our faces in a pillow and scream? I hope he told you some awkward shit, too.

Introduce me some time.

Most have in my experience. We may just be unlucky.

He did. We've spoken more intimately than we should have about a lot of things. Which I consider something of a mistake.

Perhaps. I do think you'd get along, but we've kept our lives here very separate that it almost seems frightening to think of not doing that. Which probably makes little sense.

I don't know if you should. Places like this... we don't always have all the time we'd like, and all of our intimate secrets and nasty will be forced out of us sooner or later. Better to give it than have it forced out.

Mmm, nah, I can see where you're coming from. Think on it, maybe.
