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.

After the airport, they cuffed us and handed us over to Ross' men. We'd figured they'd hold us, or something -- but none of us expected to be drop off in a fuckin' underwater gitmo.

Could've been a lot worse, probably would've gotten worse. Far as Ross and his guys were concerned, we weren't going anywhere. Wanda was our heavy hitter, and they kept her in a straight jacket, drugged her out of her mind. Given time, I probably could've gotten us out of our cells, but we didn't have a way off the Raft.
