The Truth Serum Meme
The cliche and tired trope used to create conflict or acts of realization.

And congrats, now your character is inflicted by such a trope! Be it magic, drugs, or other means. Regardless of how, your character has lost the ability to lie or be dishonest.

Are you going to tell your childhood crush how you really feel? Or maybe tell your best friend about the double life you live? Perhaps this is a good time to admit to murder... hm.

Leave your character's name in the comment section.

Characters ask you a question, you must reply truthfully.

Have fun, no lying.

But you want him to hurt?

[ THIS STILL MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OKAY ]

[ Sigh. ]

You are a very simplistic girl.

[sensitively]

And you're a very warped one.

It has kept me alive, thus far.

[ So she's not going to be sorry about it. ]

[sensitively]

Perhaps it has.

But it's also kept you alone.

[ A slow blink. ]

What does that matter. I could have lived alone or I could have died alone.

[ A frown crosses her features, incensed by this stupid self-righteous statement the other girl has made at her. ]

You cry and mourn for those he killed, but I say at least he killed them swiftly. You cannot even imagine what my death would have looked like, how many times I was forced observe the slow tortured deaths of those around me. Day after day after day after day.

[ Her back straightens, eyes blazing. ]

Keep your judgments to yourself lest I enlighten you to how much more unpleasant your dealings with the world could have been.

[sensitively]

[ ...someone touched a nerve. ]

Slow or fast, it doesn't matter in the end. All that's different is time and suffering - something I've had extensive experience with.

[ Her own eyes are hard and dark. ] You know nothing of my dealings with the world I'm from. Just as you know nothing about Ren.

[erbier]

How complicated can it be, when they call you Scavenger?

[ Really. ]
