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.

[circumspector]

She doesnt lie. Ever. At all. :V

[vocalis]

Which Aoba do you like better?

[circumspector]

[ frownfrownfrown. ]

That answer isn't that straight forward.

[vocalis]

Of course. We are both Aoba.

But it's me, isn't it?

[circumspector]

[ SHE SWEARS 2 GOD. ]

You are... less exhausting in some ways, more so in others.

[vocalis]

Tch. But I'm the original.

[ Pouting. He's not so different from someone else she knows. ]

In what ways?

[circumspector]

[ Gathers up her two hissy cats. ]

You think I can show anyone the things I've seen? With you, it's free. I don't... have to pretend.

[vocalis]

[ Hmm he's still more of a dog person. ]

You never have to pretend. I want to know every destructive thing you've seen... and done.

And that makes me better.

[circumspector]

[ Now hold it right there - ]

Well, that would depend really.

[vocalis]

[ He doesn't like all this conditional stuff... ]

Depend?

[circumspector]

[ Welcome 2 hell. ]

Aoba lets me sleep on him, he makes me food, he takes care of me and sometimes he's even nice enough to help me clean up when I've left tech everywhere again. I might have to hide a great deal from him, but I don't mind. Because it's a small price to pay for someone who makes my life so much better.

[vocalis]

Tch.

The only reason I can't do all that too is because I'm trapped inside my own brain more often than not, you know.

[circumspector]

Really, you would? You'd let me do all that? You'd take care of me and let me take care of you?

[ SLY BLUE PLZ. ]

[vocalis]

[ UM. HE NEEDS TO LEAVE. ]

Ugh... I think I spaced out there for a minute. My head hurts...

...oh, hey Angel.

[circumspector]

[ THAT's WHAT SHE THOUGHT SLY BLUE. NOW SHE KNOWS WHAT TO SAY NEXT TIME YOU ARE BEING A BUTT TO AOBA. ]

Hey, that's okay. Let me get you some water?

[vocalis]

[ LALALA LOCKED BACK INSIDE HIS MIND BOX, NOT LISTENING. DON'T LOOK AT HIM. ]

Um... yeah, that'd be great. Thanks Angel. You're the best.

[greentech]

Uh. Were you actually flirting with me or was I just being weird? Because it's OK if you weren't I was probably just being weird and I probably shouldn't be asking this anyway, but I figured it'd be good to get that sort of cleared up because otherwise it might make things weird later.

[circumspector]

Well, I'm not really sure about flirting yet, I'm still learning, but I think I was? People seem to do it a lot in the hive, have you noticed?

[ Nice deflect there, Angel. Except no. Not at all. ]

[greentech]

[ Dammit, Angel. ]

Uh, I haven't really noticed that, actually.

[ Hey, wait. ]

I just wanted to make sure. That's all.

[circumspector]

Really? I find people are really quite talkative, I am not sure if that's always the same as flirting, admittedly, but I'm used to a buzz axe to the face being a cordial hello, I suppose. So I kind of... like doing it?

[ ERG TRUTH, WHY ITS SO HARD.

Or that one time her dad used her to set up a date. ]

Well, I guess, the flirting is friendly, too, so far as I've understood it?

[greentech]

[ Because truth sucks. ]

Is it? I mean - it probably is. It's definitely friendly. BUt it's - uh - usually used to indicate romantic interest at home and I'm not sure if you're really interested in me like that and I'm not sure how I'd feel about it or if I even want to think about anyone like that and it's kind of weird, because I've never really thought about it before now. But maybe i should be thinking about it - that's sort of normal, right?

[circumspector]

If you want to? Think about it when you want to. I didn't until... the last three months, actually. I'm just as new to it as you are, if you want to think of it that way.

But I guess that's a no on the romantic interest from me, at least until we're both older. [ Because Pidge is a tiny, and - Angel is a horrible person that uses other people. ] But I still get to think you're a brave knight that rescues damsels with your lion. [ Have a bright and sunny smile, because read: she reserves the right to tease. ]

[greentech]

[ That's a huge relief, even if Angel's parting comment makes her blush again. ]

Well, I don't know about that, but I'm definitely here to help people...
