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.

[ 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.

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

What, do you get guardian angel jokes a lot?

[ 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.

[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.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there's always a more personal reason. [He doesn't mean just Sam. Himself, as well.]
