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.

So...what's the deal with werewolves? [ He's been waiting for this since he got that glance at Ed's file. ]

[has_been_faking]

[Ohboy.]

That is... an unfortunately broad question. What's the deal with them in general, or in relation to me?

[21stcenturyguy]

Let's start with how they relate to you and branch out from there.

[has_been_faking]

Okay... Well, many years ago, I was friends and business partners with one. To date, he's probably the best friend I've ever had.

In a broader sense, though... Ah, well. [SO UNCOMFORTABLE.] Werecreatures are rare, and have a lot of inherent supernatural power. Obviously. So, they're often called for as spell components for strong and usually quite unsavory spells. By that I mean, parts of them are. Usually dried and powered organs and body parts. They're exceedingly hard to come by but fetch a ton of money on the black market. And I've sold them. Several times.

[And if his werewolf friend was alive to find out that Doc was doing this, he'd punch him into the next area code.]

[21stcenturyguy]

So you're a shit friend. If it makes bank, I betcha get a lot of fake parts comin' through. How do you test parts to make sure they're legit. Do you wait until a full moon and see if they transform into wolf-parts?

[has_been_faking]

Yeah. I am. [He won't deny that he's an awful friend. That's why he doesn't have any back home anymore.]

There are spells you can use to test whether or not something has magical properties. Some fakes are better than others. But I can usually move the fakes too, if I want.

[He sighs. So much dirty laundry to air.]

[21stcenturyguy]

[He's been deceptively calm, questioning Ed about this stuff, but he's gonna reach over and try to snag his collar so he can pull him right up to his face.]

You ever kill someone for your fucked-up experiments?

[has_been_faking]

[Ed barely reacts to being grabbed, and his face remains sad, almost ashamed.]

No. Never. If I ever needed a guinea pig, I used myself.

[21stcenturyguy]

Good. [Santa snorts and lets Ed go.]

You're an asshole, but at least you're not an unredeemable murderer asshole. That's somethin'.
