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.

Kylo Ren

[erbier]

Would you have missed me, if I had not woken?

[narcissithstic]

Yes.

[He's self-obsessed as much as he is self-loathing: how could he not miss such an integral part of himself?]

[erbier]

Why.

[narcissithstic]

Because you're a part of me, whether we like it or not.

And I'm tired of being cut from what's mine.

[erbier]

Is that all.

[sizeofyourbaggage]

If I asked you what lead you to see violence as an outlet, would you be unhappy about answering?

[narcissithstic]

No.

[He is what he is because of it, after all.]

[sizeofyourbaggage]

[ totally going for it then ]

What lead you to see violence as the best outlet?

[narcissithstic]

When I was younger, my family was afraid of my abilities. I was taught the opposite for their comfort: complete control was the only answer, and through inaction I would master every worldly, physical response that sought to drag me down.

For years I suffered, thinking it was the only choice. That I was flawed. Weak.

And then one day I realized I'd been lied to— my strength was my grandfather's legacy, not a deficiency, not a curse. [A beat, tinged with a cold brand of bitterness:] I never listened to them again.

[sensitively]

Do you regret anything you've done?

[narcissithstic]

[Ugh.]

...yes.

[sensitively]

What, specifically.

[narcissithstic]

Why do you care? [Taxed beyond measure, it's clear he's trying to avoid answering that question entirely.]

[sensitively]

[ no dice, Ren. she's got you cornered, now. ]

Because I'd like to think you would have done things differently, if you could have.

For both of them.

[whowhatnow]

Does it get, like, super sweaty under that helmet mask of yours?

[narcissithstic]

[Why are you like this.]

It depends on the climate. [He's trying so hard not to lie right now without having to admit that yes, like 89% he is a sweat factory. ]

[whowhatnow]

[[ren voice] ever since that man appeared in my life, snakes have manifested inside my home, physically]

What do you do if it's like, super hot and you can't take it off? You don't have coolers in there, do you?

[narcissithstic]

There are circulation systems that assist, but...no. [No ice packs, no coolant— nothing.]

If that happens, I endure. And I use my anger to make it count.

[unsea]

Would you rather belong, or be free?

[narcissithstic]

...neither.

[He wants to be feared, respected— neither freedom nor belonging matters more than that, and so he'll settle for whichever suits best.]

[unsea]

Even if one or the other benefits what you desire?

[ bruh ]

[narcissithstic]

Then I take whichever one that does. [Duh, bruh.]

[unsea]

Then, what do you feel I offer you?

[ LISTEN HE'S CURIOUS this is going somewhere ]

[unsea]

ok what shampoo do you use
