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!

It's a thought I've had myself and I wonder how much of it is to do with stories?

You know, like, the Fox's bias towards there being a role for people to play? Which would bias to attractive people

I don't think that's impossible really.

But the thought I've had more is a step back from that? If the Fox is a conceptual being taken with people's potentials and viewing things through narrative, then there's a bias for people who come here, ones who fit into the three major roles conceptually, right?

If you think of it as a book or a movie, it makes sense to bias towards pretty folk.

My man I've been riding on that feeling for a while

A very pretty mage

Anyway no she's got a cute face and a nice attitude. Would stand out in a leading role, if you ask me. I'm more a supporting player, I think

E x actly!

A lead's gotta either be a pretty woman or a more muscular guy than me! It's just basic sense!
