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!

Thanks. Folkmore's been a huge reprieve to live a normal life, and going home, whenever that happens, is going to suck.

I mean, I'm me, but I don't get to eat, drink, do the normal living things that make a person happy. Don't take for granted how vegetables taste. You'll miss them, I swear.

A woman after my own heart. I love veggies.
Over two and a half years now. Nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it's still like 5% of my life.
I assume we will all leave here at some point, but I try not to think about that most of the time.

yeah cant blame you
like its no secret what i think of this place but thats a personal family related thing
this place is a step up for some people and i dont begrudge that at all

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-01 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
She'd have an easier time if she only brought people it was a step up for.
But doing things because they're easy is boring, so I see why she doesn't avoid it.
You know, since she's decided this is a thing she's doing.
How long have you been here? Have you gotten attached to anyone or anything about this place?

Pretty sure I'd make some people scream if I wore Ninth House facepaint all the time, but I was lazy about that when I was supposed to do it. I only wear it when I have a good reason.
Nothing wrong with giant turtle guys. They're just guys.

I took huge issue with Thirteen when I first got here. Drag my feet you can't make me do anything (womp womp, she could) kinda shit. It ended with me pissed and shit still happening.
Not a fun place to be in, and it sounds somewhat similar. People were getting hurt sometimes. Harrow's enough of a hermit it usually wasn't happening to her, but there was some rescuing we did. Hell, I saved big Steve from a lonely shark that kinda brainwashed him.

I found a way to make it mine. Like, there were these trust falls. Out of nowhere, you'd go stiff as a board and fall over near someone. They could catch you or not, but you couldn't move until you shared something personal. So I did it myself. Same deal except I chose to fall over and didn't move until I shared something. When I did that? She never made me fall over. Like, hey, you're doing the thing, and that's good enough for me.
I do that often enough I get less pissed at her. Oh sure I tried to deck Lavender in January, and they kicked me right back into the trial, but at least they asked us first if we wanted in.
So... I get it, but given rushing Thirteen and taking over Folkmore doesn't seem like it'll happen any year soon, I find ways to make things my choice. I'm pissed less frequently, and life is more enjoyable.

Oh, my bad. I should remember who I have had this conversation with. It's one I have with myself often enough. I don't stop getting mad altogether.

That sounds like it'd interest a lot of people, but hey if he gets you guys out, congrats to y'all. If people know it's possible, they'll find a way.

That is a moooooooooood. When I'm really mad, I wouldn't be able to either. It was probably easier with the trust falls than anything that happens without warning you can't copy yourself. Like, sure, I could step on a teleportation stripe on purpose, but I can't turn myself into a Legend like that one trial did or share memories on purpose when I sleep or something.

Huh, I wonder if the magical campfires could be built again. They showed memories you talked about. I used that to share memories before the memory bubbles. That could be a regular hack on anything sharing memories.

[personal profile] licensetocrane 2025-02-05 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
dees the type that if he finds a way hell share for sure

oh god those stripes do you know how many times i got blipped to the desert i swear thirteen was trollin me
necrosavior: (Default)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-06 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Good boy.

I feel you. I didn't cheat and teleport my way out every time. Otherwise I'm sure she'd mess with me even more. It made getting to classes at Agrona a hell of a lot trickier, but she cannot blame me for being late when it's her doing.
licensetocrane: (pic#16910100)

[personal profile] licensetocrane 2025-02-07 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
oh man maybe THATS why
b/c i had mayhem with me to start with and he teleports so wed just stare at the desert and port home again
and then every time i found a stripe after a while mayhem just wasnt there
lmao if thats the case thats so petty
necrosavior: (Default)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-07 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Petty? Maybe, but what I'd expect from someone who said, "I brought you here to make you grow via trials I make." Like, the whole point is we do the trials? So she'll force you to do the trials.
At least the opposite is true. Like, after a while, I pretty much get to class on time reliably.

ugggggghhhhh
its so annoyin to have to play ball like i wanna be petty and spiteful just because i hate people tellin me what to do
but i guess you gotta balance some inconvenience versus like some Inconvenience (TM)
necrosavior: (Default)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-10 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
If you decide to be petty and spiteful, I support your right to do that all the way. I've done that more times than I can count when it was pointless and caused some Inconvenience (TM). It's your right.

It left me very spiky and angry and not enjoying my tasty food nearly as much. So sometimes spiky. Rest of the time, this is MY trial, girl.
licensetocrane: (pic#17040286)

[personal profile] licensetocrane 2025-02-11 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
seems legit
ill see how i go
i would probably be less angry about the whole thing if people i know werent dying to these dumb things
necrosavior: (= pretty eyes down)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-12 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
People plural? I know we come back and all, but yikes, dying sucks ass. Been there, done that, don't terribly recommend.
Though now I think about it, I managed the same 'make it my own' mentality with my death as we talk about stuff here. Harrow, Cam, and I were cornered by a murderous really fucking old lady, and if no one did anything, we were ALL going to die. Everyone wanted to sacrifice themselves so the other two might live. Except my plan involved not just running the fuck away but giving them the chance to WIN. (guess what: they won). So I took advantage of my surroundings and yeeted myself onto iron fenceposts. Harrow needed my sword for the fight. Also, killing yourself with your own two handed sword? Not an easy feat.

[ooooh holy info dump, Batman. It's not that she minds getting hit with the avalanche, but double yikes.

There's a bit of a pause--]


sooo quick question before i ask you about any of that
would you have shared that if you werent bein forced to be honest b/c i dont wanna pry
necrosavior: (= making a face)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-13 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, okay, that's hmmmm. She said that. She sure did say all that. Type it, anyway. Gideon supposes she shouldn't be surprised given how short the zombie to death topic pipeline is. If anything it's probably impressive it took so long.

The silence however? Killer. ]

Wow, look at you being all considerate.
All that detail? No, I'm not a huge trauma dumper. More a joke or two.
It's far less weird than the times people got the chance to live it for themselves.
Hate that for them.

So if you wanna ask things, ask. I've come to terms with my death. It's my post-death, un-death situation that's out to bite me in the ass.
licensetocrane: (for the perspective)

[personal profile] licensetocrane 2025-02-14 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't change her easy interest in Gideon as a person. April just didn't want to overstep and land in that info feet first with the wrong kind of questions. Under a truth compulsion. Very unfair.]

i mean when you put it that way yeah youre probably still one up on your home life
who was the crazy old lady?
necrosavior: (Default)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-15 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
For sure I am. That's the reason I've stuck around so long.
Cytherea, one of the original lyctors and ten thousand years old. She was dying when she became immortal, so she was dying the whole damn time. That part wasn't acting (she murdered and took the place of someone else with the same disease), but the whole murdering everyone thing really knocks out my sympathy for her.
licensetocrane: (sold for the money)

[personal profile] licensetocrane 2025-02-16 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
and thats how you became a zombie?
necrosavior: (Default)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-17 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's how I died. My soul went on to power up Harrow so she could beat Cytherea's ass, but there was this whole... passing out thing I guess? IDK, I was busy not entirely being around, but my soul and my body got separated for most of a year. However, when we all got flung into the River (metaphorical/spiritual/but also physical-ish River), it yeeted my soul. That's when I'm from. What I've learned is that when your soul gets yote like that, it tries to find its body. THAT is when I became a zombie.
For probably divine reasons, my body didn't rot/hadn't rotten. But it was still DEAD. So. Soul + undead body = zombie.

yikes
that sounds very messy and awful and i guess ill just barrack for you to get to stay here a long time or until you find a solution
necrosavior: (profile; gymrat)

[personal profile] necrosavior 2025-02-18 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if there is a solution. An alive me that seemed to be a future me was here at some point, but the way timelines work, there's no guarantee that's the future me from my timeline... and not some other one where things went less stabby through the chest.
Personally I'm hoping for "stay here a long time." It's the only answer I've got.
