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!

  • This meme is game canon unless marked otherwise at the start of threads! Threads can be used for spoons and application samples.
  • Assume all characters involved on this meme are affected.
  • Characters will compulsively state truths about themselves/their feelings on the network or in-person. Top-levels may include either/both options.
  • Please include prompts in your top level.
  • All questions will be answered with complete and total honesty. No special abilities, half-truths, or omissions can avoid sharing all of the truth.
  • Meme is open until the next truth meme!
  • After one month, you may use the kirin mechanic generally in game. It can be one-sided! All truth-telling characters must consent.

I'll come find you.

[And he's there in a reasonable amount of time, walking on the beach, carrying a box since from past experience, it's probably needed. He stops beside Angel, sets it down. ]

Ask your questions if you want to.

[ Angel was sat in the sand, their sneakers off and feet in the waves, the bottom of their trousers wet but by the looks of them, they didn't care. Hair a little more tangled than it was when they arrived, their suit dirty in places making it look as though they've not had it off in a while too.

Upon spotting Geto, they tucked their hands into their sleeves and looked at the box as it was set down. ]


Is that for me? Smells good, what is it?

[ Moving to their knees and going to open the lid before it was even confirmed to be theirs or not. ]

My question? Oh, alright. How come you don't smile? Humans do that a lot, but not you. Not from what I've seen anyway.

[personal profile] a_darker_path 2025-01-26 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I figured you'd be hungry. [And it gives him someone other than himself to cook for.]

I don't really smile without a reason. Some people just tend to smile more easily than others.

[personal profile] idratherdie 2025-01-26 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. I'm always hungry.

[ Listen, if it helps Geto, then Angel is happy to let them cook for him whenever! ]

That makes sense. Why do they do that? I don't smile too much these days either. Unless I'm being snarky, but I've been told that doesn't count.

[ Pulling the lid off, Angel started to dig into the food, maybe a bit faster than is polite to. Talking with a mouthful. ]

What makes you smile then? What would be a good reason?

[He settles on the sand, shrugs a shoulder.] It's not really something I think about. It happens when it happens.

[ Angel licks their fingers as they eat, ever watching Geto with those large, sleepy vermilion eyes of theirs. ]

Makes you seem sad. Are you sad? You look a little like someone from home... He looked sad sometimes too.

I've had a few people leave over the last few months. Go back home. I miss them.

He's probably lost people he cared about too, right?

[personal profile] idratherdie 2025-01-29 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, loss is it? Yea, that always blows.

Hmm... He has, yes. Lost a lot of people from what he told me.

That does tend to happen when you do the jobs we did. You never know who is or isn't going to come back

idratherdie: (Default)

[personal profile] idratherdie 2025-01-29 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
What job do you do then?

[ Angel has noticed they've been compelled to answer truthfully, thats why they keep asking questions, so Geto doesn't ask them any. ]

I was a jujutsu sorcerer. Basically, we dealt with curses that preyed on humans as well as curse users.

[personal profile] idratherdie 2025-01-29 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, never heard of you guys before. Some kind of secret branch of the Government or?

My partner is cursed. Did it to himself. Made a contract with the Curse Devil. It worries me.

[ Just casually saying stuff they usually wolding as they dig into the food. Wings twitching behind them now and then and halo dulling ever so slightly. ]

Something like that although if we are, it's through the elders. I don't know anything about devils but we're a usually born with the ability.

It's strange. Your world and mine, seem so similar and yet so different. I wonder then, if I'd be some kind of Curse in your world or if I'd be a human...

[personal profile] a_darker_path 2025-02-22 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"You could be one of the more human curses, probably." Which given what the other has said seems the most reasonable option.

"Although they're usually not working on our side like your kind seems to in your world."

"You have those? Ugh, I bet that's fun having to kill them if they look human and all." It figures they're too dangerous to be a regular human anyway, Even if thats what they want most of all.

"No? Why not? Have you asked them? I mean, some of the Devil's I know hate humans, but they work with them, it's that or death."

"They tend to be extremely rare and I haven't encountered any. If we're given a case, it's because the curses are attacking and hurting people actively."
idratherdie: (Default)

[personal profile] idratherdie 2025-02-23 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah well... If I was a cursed spirit, I'd not want to kill humans. I'd just want to be left alone... Ever wondered if yous are the bad guys?"
