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!

Do you know, I think I agree? I think I would not mind being a dragonfly at all, and I have minded being a woman quite a lot.

[ that inspires a smile, curving up her mouth. a hint of surprise. her mother has heard so many bug facts from her, but she knows they are not her favorite animals. ]

We shall be dragonflies together. And we can be, here.

[alovelyvoice]

[how rare. no, maybe not so rare anymore, at least not so much as it was at home, but... how special, still. what else could Alicent do but smile back?]

We have a great deal more options available to us here. [peace, perhaps.] What color dragonfly would you like to be?

[dreamfyres]

[ helaena returns that smile, and she has not smiled so much of late, though more since coming here. it is peaceful here, unlike king's landing.

considering, then, with total conviction: ] Blue.

And you?

[alovelyvoice]

[This, this is a memory she is going to cherish.]

I promise I am not just copying you, I think I would go with blue as well.

[dreamfyres]

[ helaena never knows how gentle and sweet she is ]

You may copy me. I wouldn't mind.

[alovelyvoice]

[Oh. Well. Alicent is not emotional or welling up or anything. Someone is just chopping onions. That's a saying she understands now!]

That is very sweet of you to say, Helaena, thank you.
