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.

That's well and good for the here and now. But play judge, jury, and executioner too often and you're leaving a trail of bodies in your wake before you even realize it. Doesn't the notion of that bother you?

[snaphiss]

Yes. Lucky for me, I occasionally question myself and my motives.

[Was that another jab at him?] Don't be so quick to write me off as thoughtless. Otherwise we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

[snaphiss]

You're obviously not thoughtless. Simply rigid, and stuck in your ways. Perhaps because you believe your particular methods are justice, but I'm not sure, and you couldn't possibly tell me.

[batmotif]

Then I'll make it easy for you, and take justice out of the equation.

It's a line I won't cross; it's a path too easy to stumble on.
