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.

No. I am merely less dangerous.

[decommission]

Because you've got more control. That's not a bad thing.

[erbier]

Because I have less power.

[decommission]

So what - you'd lash out at people the way that he does if you did?

[erbier]

Easily. I am circumspect because it is the weapon I have available to me.

[decommission]

That's really it?

[ HE DOESN'T WANT TO BELIEVE ]

[erbier]

Of course.

[decommission]

Why?

[erbier]

Why?

[ Incredulous. ]

For control, for power, for survival.

[decommission]

And you're just like him when it comes to that? You'd take down anyone that stood in your way of getting those?

[ She looks away for a moment. ]

If I could have, I would have. [ A frown, mouth opening without words for a moment, ] That is my way. The way of my world.

[ Power. Death. ]

I suppose we should all be thankful I learned to hurt others more precisely.
