COMPELLED HONESTY MEME

[mindofathief]

Who knows what's going on, but all of a sudden you're overcome with the need to be honest. Some kind of magic illness, a curse an NPC cast on you for laughs, Jade Curtiss did it, etc.

Whatever the reason, your character will suddenly find they are unable to lie when answering any questions. Evasion is impossible: they just have to get the truth out there.

1. post your characters
2. reply to other people's characters with ic questions
3. your character replies to questions they received with the whole truth and nothing but
4. catch the gentle chaos unfold with a cup of coffee and a bag of Kupo Nuts.

Note: memes are not game canon, so you don't need to worry about in-game implications.

[Ok, since the words 'None of your fucking business' don't wanna form on his lips, he's giving you the long version. You might wanna take a seat.]

Ok, you wanna hear about my beef about old people? Here's what I got. 'Adults' are always sayin' they know what's best, that they'll take care of things, but then they either leave you or use you.

Our parents died. Nobody else wanted to take us in, so it was up to me, a kid, to take care of myself and my kid sister. Our teachers did jack shit when class pets were gettin' killed and kids were getting beaten up. Fuckin' traumatized my baby sister. Freakin' doctors and nurses at the hospital let these fuckers come in and experiment on people, and let's not even get started on the adults that FREAKIN' KIDNAPPED US. Nobody missed us. None of the adults we knew even filled a missing persons report, so the police never even looked for us.

So don't blame me for not trusting old fogies and hags. I met exactly ONE adult who ever tried to help me and my sister, and he didn't even remember it later. As far as I'm concerned, old people can shove their 'age' and 'experience' and 'wisdom' up their asses and drink a gallon of prune juice to help 'em shit it out again.

I see... That makes a great deal of sense.

[And it sobers her right up.]

Forgive my ignorance.

[21stcenturyguy]

...ain't your fault you didn't know. Just don't expect me to trust anybody just 'cause they're older than me.

[damn_juicebox]

Certainly not. Age is hardly an appropriate gauge of morality. Is there anything you would ask of me? I cannot make up for the pains of your past, but I would wish to be a better representative of those who should have displayed more responsibility and care.

[21stcenturyguy]

I dunno. I hate this truth shit. You ever abandon any kids in need?

[damn_juicebox]

Of course not!

[She'd chide him for asking such a question, but now that she knows what he's been through, she'd be more surprised if he didn't ask. She's still indignant, though.]

I was an orphan myself. I'm fully aware how difficult it is to survive without parents.

[21stcenturyguy]

Ok, then, you're better than at least 80% of the old geezers I know. Pat yourself on the back.

[damn_juicebox]

I don't require praise. Being better than those who mistreated you isn't exactly difficult, after all.
