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.

Are the bird wings an intentional theme?

[From the time you rocketed them up to the roof!! (Also the most ironic question in the world coming from Bruce.)]

[sizeofyourbaggage]

[ Just wait until Sam throws "so you like bats, huh" at you, Bruce. ]

If you mean have you always had an affinity for birds, did you sign up for an experimental government program in part because you wanted wings, and if you had designed your own superhero outfit would it have been bird related, then hell yeah.

But technically the wings came first, and the bird nicknames after. Better than the guardian angel jokes.

[batmotif]

[Bruce's answer re: bats may not be quite as cheery as Sam's, oops]

What, do you get guardian angel jokes a lot?

[sizeofyourbaggage]

[ story of Sam's life, no one likes it when he asks those questions. ]

I was pararescue before, so yeah, we got some jokes about taking the guardian angel thing too literally. And one soldier who kept calling me Samael, but I'll give him a pass because he was pretty delirious.

[batmotif]

[There is something vaguely amusing about that, though Bruce won't comment on it. Instead:]

So why the affinity for birds, then?

[sizeofyourbaggage]

They're fascinating, man. Plus - flying. There's a freedom there I always wanted. And working with birds helped me through a couple of rough times.

[unsea]

why are you seducing my brood

[sizeofyourbaggage]

I didn’t realize I was.

Are you feeling seduced?

[unsea]

[ a likely story, you kissing fiend ]

Far from it.

[sizeofyourbaggage]

Must not be doing a very good job, then.

[ WHY DO YOU HAVE TO EXIST ]

[decommission]

[ right back at you ]

What do you think of me?

[sizeofyourbaggage]

I think you're loyal as hell and just as stubborn, you got a wicked sense of humor and the ability to develop solid plans if not always the foresight to come up with one before charging into something. An excellent sense of judgment except when you get blindsided because you wanna believe the best of people. The intelligence and compassion to realize something's wrong and want to stand for those who can't stand up for themselves, and the determination to find a way to do it.

...and a smile that puts the sun to shame.

[bracchium]

Is it because of Steve? [The whole helping thing, because Sam was more or less a stranger before they met through a broken windshield.]

[sizeofyourbaggage]

[ ugggh he doesn't want to answer this, he'll have to admit he likes Bucky. ]

It was because you're a soldier, and because of Riley and Steve. Now it's because of you.

[bracchium]

[sadtrombone.mp3]

Me.

[So much disbelief.]

[sizeofyourbaggage]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it either.

Way I see it, you're a good guy with a lot of issues, all right? You've done a lot of bad shit and had a lot of bad shit done to you and you're trying to figure out where to go from here. It's nice when you get comfortable enough to smile or get frustrated with me.

But if you break my shit again I'll stick magnets to what's left of that arm.

[bracchium]

[The mental equivalent of a smile warms the link stretched between them.]

There's really not much left. [Of his arm, he means. ] Those better be really small magnets.

[shiro2hero]

Why kiss me?

[sizeofyourbaggage]

Why not?

[ No Shiro don't make him think about things. ]

[shiro2hero]

That's... really not an answer. You could have just told me what the ribbons were.

[sizeofyourbaggage]

[ FINE ]

Because I wanted to, man. I like you, and it kind of seemed to fit the moment. I thought maybe you could use a little moment of something good and I wanted to give it to you.

[shiro2hero]

Generally when people like each other... I mean. Kissing isn't always involved in friendship.

... Is it?

Also uh. "Give it to me" sounds like... Something else. Out of context.
