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 reasonably sure nothing on our planet qualifies, except perhaps summons, to some?

[zacrifice]

she wasn't a summon
at least not with any materia i saw
probably was mako related there was a lot of wispy shit around




she was called a goddess though

[miniroth]

By who?

[zacrifice]

genesis
don't remember if i mentioned him before

[miniroth]

It doesn't ring any bells. Would you consider him a trustworthy source on divinity?

[zacrifice]

NO

[miniroth]

[Maybe in a few years he could defend Genesis' beliefs.. until then.]

Then we definitely don't know if you stabbed a god or not.

[zacrifice]

no, but it makes for a better brag than "i killed some kind of ego manifest by a theater nerd"

[miniroth]

[Sephiroth knows about Folkmore's version of 'theater nerds'.

They're not exactly skilled at combat.]

I know you're not the sort to pick on some helpless and ultimately useless artist but from the two or three lines I now know, it sounds like you beat up someone's imagination.

[zacrifice]

i mean he turned into a giant metal monster and shot lasers at my face i def didnt imagine THAT

[miniroth]

Depending on how much mako you were breathing at the time you COULD have been imagining that.

I was watching a video a couple weeks ago about giant mecha, the likes of which would make Miss Scarlet immediately defund her entire division to get her hands on. That sounds like a giant mecha.

[zacrifice]

dude im immune to mako poisoning it was legit

like
it might've been a giant mecha
maybe giant mechas can be gods too??
i swear genesis was standing there talkin to a statue and then the statue glowed and a bunch of lifestream dropped on his head and suddenly big armor with laser sword
he said it was a goddess so i'm calling it a goddess bc i don't know what else to call it

[miniroth]

I'm pretty certain every SOLDIER is supposed to be, but saying so is begging circumstances to make sure you get mako poisoning.

All of that sounds very strange and not at all believable and if it wasn't for the fact we can't lie right now I'd think you were trying to trick me!

But since we can't lie it has to be true and now I have to re-evaluate some things.

[zacrifice]

nah man i've seen soldiers get overdosed and turn into some wild shit
enough mako can change anything
hojo used to bitch about how i was so useless i wouldnt even mutate properly lol
im a lab certified freak of nature too

hey while im truthing it
want to hear the WEIRDEST shit that happened
so everything else will feel more believable

[miniroth]

How strange. I wonder what changes over the course of the next fifteen years to destabilize what's supposed to be a solid resistance to mako's mutations.

You must have very stable DNA, congratulations.

Sure, I'm not sure how things can get weirder at this point.

[zacrifice]

probably hojo tbh

i know right im a TOP TIER SPECIMEN OF A MAN
(only half joking)

one time genesis caught me and fed my hair to his clone

[miniroth]

That man's inability to leave well enough alone is going to bite him one day.

"First Class" is not an honorary title.

Why. Why did he have clones to begin with? Why HAIR

[zacrifice]

i hope it bites his face off

it's honourary but im bursting full of SOLDIER honour
im from the future so you can't argue w me about this i know its true

man idk no one explained anything
one day he ran away with a bunch of 2nd and 3rd class and everyone @ SOLDIER was freaking out
and when we fought them they'd turned into genesis copies
even future you was like wtf is he doing
why were they copies, how did he do that, why did they follow him, why did my hair turn the clone into a giant wingclaw monster that tried to bite MY face off
