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!

I am terribly sorry. If not a bear, then what was it?

[lunchboxs]

A great evil darkness. It takes people over, uses them to hurt others.

[rememoror]

Was this darkness stopped?

[lunchboxs]

Oh, no, not yet. In fact, it's gotten very pushy and taken over my hometown! I'm not worried about it. Alan knows what he's doing. But I bet the climax of the story is going to be rough.

[rememoror]

You have considerable faith in Alan to not be worried about such a thing. He must be an impressive warrior.

[lunchboxs]

Oh my gosh, so impressive! Not only does he fight against the darkness through the written word, but he's not bad with a flashlight and pistol! Not that I've gotten to see much of it, I wasn't all there, but I heard the rumors!

Plus, with all the tips he's given me through newspaper clippings and the foam of the waves, he's not bad with a rifle, either.

[rememoror]

I would be most curious how one fights with the written word.

Perhaps one day you will get to see him in action, to confirm the rumors with certainty.

[lunchboxs]

I'm pretty sure his writing alters reality but I couldn't explain to you the intricacies of it.

Fingers crossed!

[rememoror]

That is exceptionally impressive.

[lunchboxs]

That's Alan Wake for you!
