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.

Do you flirt out of legitimate sexual interest, or just for the sake of playing the game?

"Can't it be both? There's something to find beautiful in everyone. Nearly everyone. And if I find that something, then yes, I'm going to express my interest. Who knows? They might be up for it. They might have not ever realized that they would be open to the possibility until somebody asks."

"Which leads into the other half, when you run into people like Albel, you seem to have never even entertained the possibility of being with somebody outside of a set of very narrowly defined characteristics. And in that case it becomes a game of challenging their assumptions and getting fun reactions out of them."

[Interesting, interesting. She does wonder what drives men to behave as they do sometimes, so knowing she'll get a true answer prompts her to be far more bold.]

Do you love everyone you've slept with?

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

That is a far more complicated question, because Jack knows that his answer differs from most other people's. "The Big-L Love? No. And so long as they know the score, and that's what they're looking for, also, then it works out."

"But, for that one night, can I make absolutely everything about them? Definitely. So, sometimes it comes really really close."

[gorgeous_sin]

[Again, interesting. And as a selfish creature, he almost makes it sound appealing.]

How many people have you slept with? A close approximation will do.

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

[Jack is able to reply with an exact four digit number. It's not an approximation, and his expression stays completely nonchalant as he says it.]

[gorgeous_sin]

Impossible.

This is a truth meme, need I remind you?

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

"I'm telling the truth," Jack can't help but laugh. "What can I say? I told you, there are fun ways to pass all that time, if you've got the imagination for it."

[How is HE not the homunculus of Lust? She peers at him for a long moment. She'd suspected before, but this confirms it.]

So you are immortal. I had wondered. Do you possess a soul as well?

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

Jack holds up a hand. Objection. "I can never die for good. I always come back. At least, that's what I thought. Couple of people have tried to get me to see that maybe every death could be my last. But I can't afford to doubt that I'll come back."

"On the topic of a soul, I would argue yes, there is a part of me that retains my consciousness after death. Not that it does me any good."

[gorgeous_sin]

[She's interested...but insanely jealous. Envy is the embodiment of a different sin, but it sometimes bleeds over into Lust.]

How did you achieve this?

[Because she wants what he has.]
