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!

What's there to hate about you? [ flip the script babyy ]

[moseyin]

So god damn much but Im not getting into it so dont ask me again bc I dont want to have to break my relic

moving on
favorite food
whats your fav food

[fogsong]

I'll just pull it out of you later, no worries. Or Thirteen will.

Strawberry anything. That, or cheap mac & cheese. What's yours? Bet I can make it.

[moseyin]

Dont even tempt it

Pot roast or pulled pork sandwiches
You like baking stuff mostly tho right

[fogsong]

You're such a meat boy.

Also I can make literally anything. I mean. Recipes, bitch. Heard of 'em?

[moseyin]

Yeah I heard of em but a lot of the recipes from my village were family things. Nobody ever wrote em down they just taught them to their kids

Why are you being so defensive

[fogsong]

I'm not? I was aiming for playful.

Your mom ever teach you any recipes?

[moseyin]

oh. My bad

Not a lot. But that's bc i was a dumbass and didn't want to learn. Figured she would always be there to cook for me i guess

[fogsong]

You should make me what you do remember sometime.

[moseyin]

[oh boy it's 'cloud is a buzzkill' o'clock yet again, his favorite time ever]

I don't
Remember much from back then anymore
Seems like stuff just fades like paper in the sun every day


[anyway,] I know it's pot roast but I don't know what goes in it besides meat and root veg
If Tifa comes here, I'll ask her to teach you. She remembers most of the Nibelheim classics

[fogsong]

Start writing down what you do remember when you remember it. Even the stupid shit. It helps make the memories solid in your head.

or that's how it works for me.

[moseyin]

[Right. Because she's her own mom and a bunch of other not-weird shit]

What do you do when you're not sure if the memories are actually yours or not and you dont have a way to check it

Doesn't that freak you out

[fogsong]

It used to, but that was before I knew everything. Now, I usually let it go instead of worrying.

Do you get a lot of memories like that?

[moseyin]

Not so much anymore. But I try not to talk about it anyway
Having to check whats real and what isn't can be kinda
unnerving. to some folks

That's wild you can just 'let it go' like that
Fix my brain for me thx

[fogsong]

I don't even know how to fix mine, Cloud. I have a handle on the memories, but I'm one bad loss from committing crimes against humanity.

But

Listen

You know you can talk to me about that shit. Any day of the week. Pretty sure it's impossible to unnerve me. Even if I can't do shit to help, I'm here.

[moseyin]

[Something about Sharon seeming so much better put together than he is sits at the tip of his tongue until he remembers her crying on the bench next to him, and brokenly explaining her nightmare world she'd thought was just bad dreams as a little girl, and her burning him to death in his dreams while he begged her to.

So yeah maybe...maybe not.]

Lets have a sleepover
Make some popped tarts

[fogsong]

Yeah, okay, sounds like a plan. [ Popped tarts ] I'll introduce you to The Ring tonight.

[moseyin]

Is that a movie
Sounds like a romcom

[fogsong]

I would tell you it's a romcom, but I can't lie right now.

I really wish I could, though. [ BECAUSE BOY THAT OPENING SCENE WOULD BE /CHEF'S KISS ]
