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!

[ On the one hand, Rin would like to honor your wish, Makie.

On the other hand, you are doing her a concern. ]

Being lonely is a very natural feeling, I think.

[therewerefifty]

Agreed. I spent so much of my time wanting to be left alone, but here in this place is not the same as the village.

I never wanted to kill you. [That has little to do with it, but it's Rin and it's important to tell her this.]

[revengeisalie]

>What was life in the village like?

[ ... oh. That second addition is unexpected, but welcome. ]

Thank you.

I never wanted to say all those hurtful things to you.

cw: prostitution mention

[Pity Makie didn't specify which village or Rin might not have asked.]

I made rain coats and sold my body to repay my debt. [She was glad to be left alone in between.]

Maybe that's the difference. Nobody expects anything of me here.

[revengeisalie]

[ Once again, Rin is glad they're texting, for she is blushing. ]

Yes. You can do what you want. You don't even have to work, really.

[therewerefifty]

But now I have too much time on my hands and I can only fill so many hours with gardening.

[revengeisalie]

Yeah, it would be, huh?

Maybe you need a pet. Or some chickens.

Or you could teach martial arts at Agrona Academy.

[The response is a while in coming, largely because she fields a visit from Caduceus at that point.]

I believe they have enough teachers already. But apparently I now have a pet.

[revengeisalie]

Oh, really? I can't hear your voice or anything, but your choice of words makes it seem like you're surprised.

What kind of pet is it?

[therewerefifty]

A kitten. It belonged to Akechi-kun.
