VERITASERUM:

Oh no! Your character has been dosed with Veritaserum, and they're compelled to be completely honest in response to anything said to them.

Post a comment with your character's name in the header, and then other characters can come ask them questions, or maybe just engage in some awkwardly truthful chats.

Have fun!

	Anything against hooking up with American guys? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nationality is hardly a deciding factor for me, though I don't particularly care for the idea of "hooking up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seriously? That's... cool. That's totally fine. So you're not interested in guys at all, or just not interested in the "hooking up" bit? Or girls, I guess, if that's more your thing. I figured, you know, might be all hoity-toity and look down on us Yankees for not being fancy enough or whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh no, Daddy is nearly Welsh and Mummy still loves him very, very much. The heart and soul has no borders, I like to think. I wouldn't say it mattered much whether or not someone was male or female, it's really just a matter of being interested in them and wanting to know them so purely and truly. I suppose nobody has really captured my interest in that way yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ha, yeah, that's pretty romantic and shit. Kind of like how my mom's family didn't really want her marrying this half-blood white dude, but she did anyway. And him and her are like practically the same person, so I guess those kinda differences really don't count for much.

How would you know? Like, if you've never felt it before. How do you know anyone "so purely and truly" if you don't, like... date, I guess.

They really don't, it's all a matter of how well two match together, and complete one another. Sometimes opposites are often the best halves of a whole.

Well I just look at my mummy and daddy of course. They truly are inseparable and I can't imagine settling for anything less than what they have together. It all seems a bit of a waste even bothering in someone not deserving.

So like the opposite of me would be like... small and quiet and not so athletic and less of an asshole probably???? I dunno, I'd trample all over someone like that.

Guess that makes sense. I dunno if you'd find that here. Not many people are as ghostly white and into spooky death and hexing people like you. I mean, I like the hexing people bit, or I did until Lilywhite banned me from Duelling Club. Man.

Perhaps, as the ancient Chinese have the Yin and Yang principle. Duality is a most beautiful thing. That influence may be something you need very much.

I suppose it would be hard to find here, and at my own age. I have fully accepted that I may need to wait until I am older. After all, Daddy and Mummy didn't fall in love until they were older, despite having known eachother for their entire lives. I reckon I would not care much for boys who are not men yet.

That was a shame. If they just ban anyone who loses their tempers, then they hardly allow anyone to learn the self-control to tame it. And watching people get punched is always fun.

	It's less fun to experience than to watch. Stoker is a sore loser who can't admit defeat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sore? Didn't have to hex me after you'd already disarmed me, you weaselly fuck. You got what was coming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evercreep 2016-08-25 10:10 am UTC (link)
	I don't feel bad. You deserved it after everything you've done to me. The only unfortunate thing about you being kicked out of duelling is that I can't hex you again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stay out of my fuckin way this year and I won't have to give a single fuck about you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think I want to get a punch like that. Just to see how it feels when it happens, and how my instincts make me react, and what I do as a counteraction. Magical force and brute physical force are very different, and how am I to understand the complexities of it if I have never experienced it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

First off, I don't want anyone to punch you.

Secondly... It's very different from just taking a hex or a jinx. On the surface, it's less complex. It's just pain and concussive force. But every time it happens, it's shocking, and I can't react quickly enough. It's not like a wand duel at all. I suppose this is why muggles have all sorts of techniques for getting better at punching and taking punches.

	I doubt anyone would want to punch me. It's quite a shame being so small. But that's so fascinating! I believe if I understood it and experienced it I could very well create a spell that recreated the same effects in the victim, but for now the intent is not there. Perhaps when I am older. You can only watch so many muggle boxing matches. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evercreep 2016-08-27 12:20 pm UTC (link)
	It also that you don't do anything worthy of being punched. It seems a little brutal. Why would you want a spell to bloody someone's nose? Those boxing matches are savage, nearly any hex or jinx can do a better, quicker, and less violent job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know, it's unfortunate. Perhaps someone else will mentally break down this year in dueling.

Well not necessarily bloody the nose, but just as you said, that very instinctive and base and natural physiological reaction of the body to being physically struck. That is true, but there is something primal and fascinating about watching simply muscle and bone being pushed to their limits that not even dueling can provide.

I'm completely awesome and don't need any good influences. But I mean I kinda get what you're saying with the duality thing? Like me and Rosemary. Though I think us being twins just made shit harder but whatever. She tells me when to stop being a dick.

Still, with the duality thing, maybe someone immature is what you need, hey? 'Cause you totally act like a weird old lady in the body of a teen girl. A banging body, but still.

	Family is an excellent balance and anchor, I find. I don't know what that means, but I will take it as a compliment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stokers 2016-08-28 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it can be cool. How is it being a whole country away from yours? Good, 'cause it's totally a compliment. Not that I want to be banging you or anything. I kind of just like talking to you? Shit, now I sound weird. (Reply to this) (Parent)
