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!

  • Characters will compulsively state truths about themselves/their feelings on the network or in-person. Top-levels may include either/both options.

Oh, for sure. I feel the potential for consequences might outweigh the satisfaction, but I'm self-destructive enough to do it anyway.

Usually only from an outside perspective. Bad bad ideas often get me in some type of trouble. Probably because they're more like... vague bad bad ideas.
licensetocrane: (for the perspective)

[personal profile] licensetocrane 2025-02-01 10:32 am (UTC)(link)

How else are we supposed to cope with all this honesty?

I mean, I know I could just toss my relic out the window, but some people are blasting out secrets and I'm nosy.

Hey, at least you've got an excuse. I'm just nosy.

But journalism, that's cool. You could probably make a whole years worth of gossip columns just from whatever is happening right now.

Exactly. Anyone that doesn't understand that has to be made to.
