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!

Gideon grins and crouches down. "Hop on, grandma. I'll make the world go by as fast as I can, and I will not run into any windows."

Unlike a certain birb-like person she knows. "Honestly, it's fun to go fast. It shouldn't be just for kids."

She considered the 'grandma' comment as she climbs on the young woman's back - she's solid, well muscled and slightly heavier than she looks due to the species difference - someday, having granddaughters would be delightful. "It is. We just didn't tend to carry one another, only the very young or very wounded."

"Let's be off?"

Gideon adjusts her grip on the woman, who feels like she stores steel bars in her bones or something. Gideon's no scientist, but she's a decent judge of how much someone should weigh, assuming everything is normal to what she knew growing up. She sorts the woman into the "not the same kind of human as me" category (there could be a world with denser humans, even if they were all idiots who don't understand puns).

"You should reconsider that," Gideon suggests. "Three, two go—"

She goes on two, surprised she shouted go. Gideon runs as fast as she can, and the world blurs past. It takes her attention and focus to stay on the path, run around any people or spirits they come across, and make her way... somewhere. There isn't so much time to think about that as Gideon runs on habit toward places she knows. She shouts, carrying on behind them, "Wooooooooooooooooooo."
