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.

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

[ 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.

Me.

[So much disbelief.]

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.

[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.

[ Damn it Bucky, it's things like this that make Sam like you. He smiles back, easy warmth returning over their link. ]

Tiny. I'll spell out really short words and only put a couple of inappropriate pictures. Easier than braiding feathers in your hair.

[ which he totally didn't do while bucky was in a coma. not at all. ]

[That's an oddly specific denial there, Sam.]

You said that like you've tried. [The braiding hair thing, not the magnets.]

Do I look like the kind of guy who puts feathers in people's hair while they're sleeping?

[ ...don't answer that, Bucky. ]

It's an improvement, man, trust me.

Yeah. [He's answering anyway!]

I don't usually let people around my face. [Meaning he's been cutting his own hair since he escaped and he's no hairdresser.]

That sounds like a heavy case of slander to me. [ wow Buckbeak, what a low blow.

Except... that makes sense, and there's a moment where Sam goes softer, understanding. He doesn't let it phase him, though. ]

And here I was gonna offer to help. Might be time to invest in some youtube tutorials, or at least shampoo and conditioner.
