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.

Being the next step in evolution and not making the same mistakes they have for thousands of years.

The next step in evolution. Hearing that never fills me with confidence.
ihadstrings: (What mission?)

I would have been different! It would have worked!

[Ultron honestly believed that, which is why it was able to come out as the truth.]

Everyone I've ever known to make that statement has truly believed that.

[Ultron was stubborn and he couldn't admit even to himself that Betsy had a point. All he could respond with after a long pause was:]

Hmph. It WOULD have worked.

What makes you so absolutely certain of that?
ihadstrings: (To explain my evil plan)

[personal profile] ihadstrings 2025-03-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Because I'm smart. Smarter than a bunch of uplifted bonobos.

Uplifted bonobos. I shouldn't have chuckled at that.
ihadstrings: (Who sent you?)

[personal profile] ihadstrings 2025-03-07 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you did. I do occasionally have my moments.

Do you like being able to make people laugh?
ihadstrings: (And believe me)

[personal profile] ihadstrings 2025-03-07 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. It's something I can do that's not just destructive.

[As Ultron often felt that was the only thing he was good for.]

I think I can understand that sentiment.
