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!

Regularly? No. But I wouldn't be surprised if it happened before here or if it happens again here.

[licensetocrane]

well it sucks
really doubt well all achieve our supposed best self if were forced into all this trash

[bossyboiler]

Eh. There are worse things to go through.

[licensetocrane]

oh hell yeah there are worse things
this is chump change!!
THIS IS JUST ANNOYING
like if i wanna find a way home and maybe hit a fox with a steel chair i wanna try doin it off the radar not blather all about it right here

...like that
and i CANT SAY IM DOING OKAY
THAT ISNT FAIR

[She's being a brat I'm sorry.]

[bossyboiler]

And here comes April with a steel chair! Look out! What would your wrestling name be, I wonder? Tiny Dynamo?

[ Kate has no filter when it comes to honesty events. Sorry. She's not making fun of you April. The thought just entered her mind and she must share it! ]

You're right. It isn't fair. I'm sorry that you are feeling this way but there's nothing to be done about it until this passes.

[ Harsh, Kate. ]

Why don't you take a couple of days off and keep inside to minimize people contact and possible embarassment.

[licensetocrane]

[She honestly doesn't know how to take that first comment. Partly April wants to laugh because it's hilarious, but she also isn't actually sure if Kate is mocking her or not. Especially with what she follows up with.

And also she's just. Very frustrated. Her anger isn't with the truth weirdness at all.

This is why she'd like to be able to lie to her boss, though.]

I guess that's a step up from firing me.
yeah okay
ill do that

[bossyboiler]

I'm not going to fire you April.

[ Kate isn't sure what April could do that would lead to a firing. ]

But I don't like to see you upset and I have no other way of helping you other than giving you time away from having to be around people.

[licensetocrane]

[She could invite her family to the bakery, that tends to result in a firing...]

oh okay that makes me feel much better thank u
its hard to get a proper read on text
i appreciate it kate ill be over this probably way before then

[bossyboiler]

[ Oh boy. Even thing... as long as they don't destroy the place that is. ]

You're welcome. It is hard to get a reading on text, I agree.

Take the time you need. I'm sure we'll all feel when this truth telling nonsense is over.

[licensetocrane]

[Terrible destructive things tend to happen when she invites ninja turtles into her place of work. She'd like to think that wouldn't happen here. Kate has no robots to go haywire on premises for a start.]

you got that right
hopefully this truth telling nonsense is very brief and not an all month thing
feels pretty simple for a trial at least
