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 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.

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)

[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?

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.

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.

I get why other people aren't. If my life was hella better, I might wanna be back at it too.
I'm glad it exists for people like me. If only it could only exist for people like me.
I'm here. I'm living full me 24/7. No one to tell me otherwise. At least that I'll listen to.
