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!

  • This meme is game canon unless marked otherwise at the start of threads! Threads can be used for spoons and application samples.
  • Assume all characters involved on this meme are affected.
  • Characters will compulsively state truths about themselves/their feelings on the network or in-person. Top-levels may include either/both options.
  • Please include prompts in your top level.
  • All questions will be answered with complete and total honesty. No special abilities, half-truths, or omissions can avoid sharing all of the truth.
  • Meme is open until the next truth meme!
  • After one month, you may use the kirin mechanic generally in game. It can be one-sided! All truth-telling characters must consent.

I don't know enough to really understand fully, but I think that makes sense. Perhaps it is easier on you both to just leave it in the past.

It's only a call you can make. [She has no stakes in this race, so when she adds more, it's a neutral observation and nothing more:]

As long as you are sure you won't regret it if you lose your chance to say anything. But sometimes it is far kinder to smooth something over rather than confront it at its source.

yeah. that's true too.

[nnnnnngh. It's complicated, though. If he or Leo (or both) go back, they'll be in the same New York, right? And... hopefully, eventually, he'd reach this same point again whether he remembers or not.

But there's no permanence in that world, either. He or Leo could die, and it would be the same end. If he lived, he might regret. If Leo lived, maybe he'd lack that closure. (Or maybe he wouldn't care about it?) Impossible to tell if he never asks.]


i'll think about it.

You owe no answer to me or to anyone else. Just remember that. And good luck.
