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!

[zacrifice]

well im not gonna say it's ok since i CANT thanks fox
but im used to it
not the worst thing!

[licensetocrane]

ikr doesnt it suck im so grumpy about it
i believe you tho theres worse than dyin
you hangin onto this place as long as possible then?

[zacrifice]

don't have much choice but yeah
even if i did, unless i could bring ppl back with me i wouldnt want to go

[licensetocrane]

thats fair
think you guys could hitch a ride to someone elses home instead? like so you could live just in a different world?

[zacrifice]

never thought about it. this is the first other world ive been to

[licensetocrane]

same tbh
but like my bff is convinced he can find a way to take home the people we care about here and hes super smart
theres so many people here who work with high tech science or mystic magic i wanna think its possible

heres a good place for those who havent got anywhere else to go
but i wanna believe you can find a life somewhere else too

[zacrifice]

that's real sweet of you thanks!! idk where we'd end up going if we had to and couldn't go home
it'd have to be a place cool with magic or weird stuff
i mean my eyes are a dead giveaway lol
and aerith talks to the planet so it'd have to be nice

[licensetocrane]

idk sounds like youd fit in on my home turf
like my family is four talking mutant turtles and a rat
theres a whole city underneath our regular city thats magical
weird shit happens enough nobody would blink twice at glowy eyes

i like to think our planet is pretty nice
i mean yeah the main cities and stuff are polluted and capitalism sucks but
lots of really beautiful nature out there?

[zacrifice]

what like leo?? interesting family u got

i think could be hard to find a world that doesn't have shit pollution
spent a lot of time back home fighting a terrorist group that was all about savin the planet by blowing up mako reactors that gave everybody energy bc they said it was killing the planet
now im dating their heavy hitters

anyway i'd go wherever they want to go
your world, our world, anybody's world, this world
gotta follow the love if u know what i mean!

[licensetocrane]

hey you know what that is?
growth

and yeah like leo! i mean yeah okay my actual parents are human but ive known the guys for years now im their big sister

whats mako?

[zacrifice]

ha ha yea

gotcha! only met the guy like once or twice but hes cool

a mysterious power!! [somewhere an older Sephiroth is sighhhhhing.] idk its like a chemical inside the planet that reactors can pull out and change to energy. get enough of it together and it turns into materia, ppl can use it to cast magic

[licensetocrane]

oooh okay
corporations like doin that in multiple worlds i see
though in our case its not magic but the byproduct of using it to power stuff is what causes the pollution etc etc

maybe a little like empyrean too (sp? idk) thats like a magic fuel but thats just kinda lyin around in creepy places

[zacrifice]

is it made of dead people too

[just normal things said over text.]

[licensetocrane]

oh YIKES
i mean probably

like oil (what we drag out of the earth) comes from the bones of long dead reptiles or somethin like that

i dont know enough about empyrean to be sure either way but like literally when we first saw it it was pouring out of the eye of some big statue thing in a huge underground cavern

[zacrifice]

mako is liquid lifestream and lifestream is the souls of the dead apparently soooo
i wonder how many souls turn into materia
like between the three of us we have like six by now?? how many dead people we carrying around lol

that one sounds weird too. so your world has two dead-people fuels??

[licensetocrane]

yeah probably
i wonder if thats a universal thing but like
at least it isnt a soylent green situation

could you like uhhh de-refine it down into dead people? not that im sayin you should im just curious

[zacrifice]

soy what

idk maybe? we used to do uhhhh
fusion
materia fusion
if u can mash em together to make different kinds you can probably break them down into mako
and once its mako it can go back to the lifestream
i think

[licensetocrane]

soylent green was a movie where like the world had gone to shit and real food was a luxury and everyone was eatin this all round nutritious but awful shit called soylent green
and then it turned out it was made from people
you died and went straight to a factory for processing so

i guess once theyre dead people dont care

[zacrifice]

oh shit
yeah ours are better
not a LOT better but yeah

speaking as a dead guy if someone wanted to turn my soul into a magic ball that lets you set things on fire that sounds badass actually
not like i was doing anything with it back home anyway

[licensetocrane]

the movie was a work of fiction but i dont trust our current overlords to not do some supremely shady shit at some point so you know
dont rule it out ig??

hey yeah when you put it that way that DOES sound badass
what kinda magic would you wanna be

[zacrifice]

no that makes sense it 100% sounds like a thing shinra would do if they had to
or even if they could get away w/ it

hmmm fire is always good! love that
i liked exploder blade
it makes a shockwave sword! it looked badass and was great w/ big groups

[licensetocrane]

oh man think ive seen that kinda weapon in like video games
theyre so much fun to swing around
heck yeah live your best life
or death
undeath??

[zacrifice]

never played video games. we did have vr training does that count
i think its both! im dead but i dont FEEL dead so w/e

[licensetocrane]

hey if you ever goofed around in vr training it definitely counts!
and call yourself i dunno
...dammit im tryin to think of a word like genderfluid only for living and dead my comedy fails
