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!

[Altair gave Ultron some space and he leaned comfortably against the wall with a sympathetic smile.]

Yeah I know how that feels.

[His sense of self was something he struggled with constantly, ever since becoming a mage turned his world upside down. Was he still him, or just the nameless goddess's puppet wearing his skin and memories? His eyes burned brighter with his inner conflict.]

[Ultron didn't say anything else, just staring off into space. He was going to sit there for the next few hours, puzzling out the idea of his existence and his own personhood, and figuring out what this meant for his future. For if he really was a person, had his longing to create a new body combining flesh, metal, and an Infinity Stone been completely unnecessary the whole time?

Was even his desire to be something better than humanity really what he needed either? If he'd truly been like them all along, maybe he'd never needed to be anything other than himself.]

[Altair stuck around for a little while but he started to feel restless. There were more truths to be told and Altair was hesitantly curious what he would find with the next soul song. Maybe sharing his ability with others wouldn't be so bad after all? He quietly wished Ultron luck, although he couldn't tell if he heard him or not, before leaving him to his thoughts.]
