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!

If it's something you avoid that's ethical at least
Wow
no subject
Yea, I avoid it. Sucks. I have to always keep an eye on people around me, in case they accidentally touch me... It's been so long since someone willingly touched me... I've forgotten what the sensation of someone's hand feels like.
no subject
What's devil mean in the context you know I know of at least three major contexts of that and none of them are good from the ones I know. And two of them would contradict "Angelic" really?
But yeah that does suck for everyone involved. You and others.
Can it be cheated? Some sort of thin glove or a little barrier or something?
no subject
There's butt loads of us where I'm from. We're all born in Hell the moment a human is scared of something. Like, in the dawn of time, when the first humans were afraid of the dark, enough of them feared it that the Darkness Devil was born. That's how it works. Enough people are scared of cars, a Car Devil is born. The bigger the fear, the bigger and stronger the Devil.
I'm the Angel Devil. That's why I say "Angelic" Powers, I'm a Devil first but I'm also an Angel. I never asked to be born or to have this horrible power but enough people were obviously scared of Angels... I blame those biblically correct ones, all those eyes? Even I'd be scared of that. Gross.
Yea, fabric works I guess. A pair of gloves or something, so long as it stops your skin directly touching mine. Not that anyone is willing to try it even then. Can't blame them.
no subject
I still probably would if I was friends with you though! So I'm sure there's someone out there who would!
Man this whole thing is making me say things not at all the way I'd prefer to say them.
Anyway, that logic sounds distressingly similar to the demons of the realms I've been in before coming here. Creatures of thoughts and impulses, thought to be defined by mortal beings. Fears. Desires. That sort of things. Concepts giving identity. I never thought about what it would be like to be one of them if I'm honest because I never thought about the idea of them being people.
-- Fuck me sorry about that last part.
cw: killing/death
I don't have any friends. Never will have. I think I killed the only ones I ever had. My memory is kinda hazy but I'm sure she made me touch everyone.
I didn't mean to say that either. I don't want people to fear me. I don't know why I'm telling you this.
Sounds far too similar if you ask me. I spose different worlds just have slightly different versions of us huh? I want to be 'normal' I wanna be a human or at least live like one but it's impossible. It would be easier if I looked like a monster, then someone might just kill me, put me out of my misery.
It's okay. I'm sorry for telling you all this shit in the first place.
no subject
Any of this, I mean?
I can get how it makes you incompatible with living with humans. Do Devils not have kinship with each other?
Well no if you have thoughts like this you might not get along with others?
no subject
Sure, other Devils hang out, some of them even mate, not that they can reproduce mind you, I guess they just do that for fun? I don't like other Devils, they're annoying and full of themselves. I don't want to hurt humans, they usually just want to eat them.
What do you suggest I do then? You seem nice, I doubt you have any trouble making friends. What's your secret?
no subject
I'm not you though. I'm just human. Being a Devil, born out of a concept, I can't really be confident that you think the same way I do. but if you're asking I guess perhaps you do?
There's two major paths I think of immediately. The first one would be to to find some way to neutralize the risk of that ability. I bet you could summon something with the spoon for that. Second would be to find a way to connect with people who are either immune to that effect somehow or talk with them through means which don't have contact.
Though I guess that second one doesn't fix wanting touch
no subject
I think I think like you do? I think about food and sleeping a lot. I also think about the sea and how I like feeling the sand in my toes. Is that something a human would think about?
Really? You think there's something my spoon can do to help? But doesn't that just mean that I'd have to interact with people first to fill it up? That puts me back in my dilemma. Don't wanna hang out with them if I can hurt them, can't get Lore if I don't hang out with them.
What would make someone immune? Like a special power that gives them unlimited life?
Yea I don't want much. Just like someone to pet my head now and then. Maybe hold my hand or hug me. Hugging looks warm.
no subject
But I do yeah. The spoon can be used to summon any number of things. You'd need to converse with people for a while to build up to that point, but it could be from over the Relic, perhaps? Or at a distance?
But yes, I was thinking along those lines. Or someone who simply doesn't age at all.
no subject
It's the distance part thats getting me down. Doesn't feel real. Like, we're talking now but if a friend comes to where you are physically, you'll stop talking to me to be with them, you know what I mean?
There are people who don't age at all?
Would you-- nevermind.
1/2
2/2
I get that; the distance. For me, having this machine is something I'm only just starting to get used to again; have it feel normal. I was obsessed with it when I first arrived here, because its most similar to something I remember when I was a kid. So I was taken with it and stalking it all the time.
But even so, face to face is better. In person, hearing and feeling people. You're right I'd always set it down.
I get accused to talking fast a lot.
I don't know. I've seen amazing powers here and in the realms I came from. I've seen people or things which are basically immortal to the standards of a human. They could afford to lose some years as compared to the rest of us. It wouldn't surprise me if there was someone timeless here.
Actually wait I did see one guy back during that dating thing they were a real angle supposedly. And some people with really big age numbers?
no subject
[ It's okay, Angel isn't offended. Honestly, they're surprised that they're still talking to them for as long as they have. Must really need the lore to put up with Angel. ]
You were obsessed with one of these? That's kinda sad, ngl. I mean, if I was you, looked like, acted like, sounded like you I would be out and about hanging out with people, instead of being on this thing.
I get accused of not talking at all. I do it so people get bored or frustrated and leave me alone. I can believe you talk fast, you seem really cheerful and chatty.
Oh, you did? A real Angel? You say that like you don't believe thats what I am.
no subject
Or at least that's how I'd think of it.
When I first arrived I wandered around this whole land we're in. Seeing the different environments. I guess I was just hoping if I understood the land I'd understand the realm. Didn't manage much, but during that time this device had me talk with anyone else while I'm out in say the mountains.
Does sound sad though on paper
So okay let's bypass all that- what's your dumb question? I'll be thinking on it now
no subject
That's what I'm trying to do- or well, I was hoping to try and do, I'm lazy, I'm used to being lazy so I didn't get very far at all. I don't want to understand this place though, I just want to be near the sea. I like being at the beach, I don't know why. I think I was happy in the sand once upon a time. Ah, I get it, you used this thing to keep connected, so you weren't truly alone while out here? That's smart. I would have loved this device back home. That way, they could have kept me in my cell and I could have still made friends.
Oh, it's fine. The moment has passed now. I was just going to ask if you wanted to be my first friend here and hang out sometime but it's fine.
no subject
--I probably would have said that nicer normally.
Yeah the moment did pass a little but you do seem like a nice enough guy, yeah? The powers a bit terrifying, but you seem aware of that and I -
Fuck me okay wait
Yes I think being friendly with you would be nice. Already have been! So let's go with friends as the label.
no subject
Never been called a nice guy before, are you sure you mean me?
Okay, cool friends, I like that, thanks Lex, you're officially a Devil's first friend.
no subject
Maybe you're crueler than you seem but the obvious vibe projected is nice
There's no reason not to agree with calling you a "nice guy" by vibe, yeah?
Still, maybe the impression'll change in person! Which, at this point, I'm now curious to experience.
no subject
Ah, yeah, nice guy vibes… Never thought that would be how someone described me, maybe being here is good for me after all? Different world, different Angel y’know?
