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!

Though I tend to wallow in self-pity. It's a bad habit of mine, or so other people have told me. I don't agree with them because a think a lot of them just don't get it. But on the other hand I've encountered people with worse stories to tell here.
-- Fuck me man.
We're really both shower thoughting here
no subject
I guess I wallow in self-pity sometimes, too. I think I earned it, the rest of the world couldn't muster up enough pity to stop any of it from happening, so they can shut up about it. Mostly though I try not to think about it long enough to get into feeling about it. Lately there's just been a numbness anyways.
Shower thoughting?
no subject
Well I'm lying, she would never had said profound. She'd say I was trying to sound smart for saying a word like that. I think she'd say something more like "deep?"
Numbness though... man that's rough. Especially if the world ignored you. Any people you made a connection with while you were in whatever situation? That's where I said I was lucky. I had comrades back then.
no subject
There were some people that I made a connection with before, and some after, but during, it was not possible, first because of how harshly it was punished and then it was chemically impossible. The few connections I did have, they've helped, but I can never manage to hold on to them for very long, and so they have also hurt.
no subject
Ignore that
Anyway, chemically impossible? You might be worse off than me. Actually, probably are. But apart from that, I really get the whole ... connections hurting thing.
I made myself distant from my best friend and screwed up a lot of romances.
no subject
You hadn't showered in a DECADE?
Yes. A chemical agent that gives someone else complete external control over the person exposed, down to being able to stop involuntary functions. But it is not a competition. Suffering is suffering.
Did you fix it?
no subject
Not really.
I made some of them worse and some of them I kind of ran away from. The later are about as good as they could be. And then ran off to try to make other connections.
[ . . . Man, complete control. He frowns to himself and ends up typing, before he realizes it, ]
That's something I ought to internalize more. Suffering is suffering; I actually like the idea of that. But what you experienced there sounds awful. For me, I was conscripted in such a way I couldn't return to where I was kidnapped from; so my "space" was controlled more than my body.
no subject
I guess that makes sense, that it would be a mixed bag. Do you regret the way any of them turned out?
It is easier said than internalized. It was awful. Being ripped away from your home is awful as well.
no subject
I'll never stop regretting how one in particular turned out.
I think the Fox knew that really? Or
No it doesn't know anything specific like that I don't think its just the concept of emotional growth or support or something it doesn't need to *know* anything in order to operate as if it would. Or at least that's how I assume it operates. It made me confront confessing to some guy about what happened between me and Amira back when I first got here with some guy. His name's Draxum. Or was? No, is, he just isn't here anymore. Big goat guy.
Oh good rambling helps a little.
no subject
That was helpful to you?
I think the Fox must know specific things. It was the Fox that arranged the gift exchange, was it not? There were a lot of specific things about people included in that.
no subject
- Point taken, on that gift exchange. My thought's always been that it doesn't need to know things in order to operate, but that would imply knowledge, at the very least, of some pretty specific facts.
