MEME: Veritaserum

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!

	...completely honest...? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Got a lot of secrets, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No! At least, I don't think I'm secretive... I just mean, no one really likes to say exactly what they're thinking all the time, do they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess not? I usually end up saying whatever comes to mind without magical help, but I think maybe it's better when you don't. Kind of sad, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it? Some people might say not speaking your mind is sadder than always saying what you think. It's good you can be so expressive. Um, with your music, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It really gets you in trouble sometimes, though. By "you" I mean "me". Do you not speak your mind much? Oh, sure, yeah. Music's great for really tapping into things you feel but can't put words to. Even the lyrics are just symbols, right? Do you get what I mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I try to live my life honestly. But... it's as you said, sometimes honesty can hurt people. I'd rather be kind.

Yes! I think so. It's like how in historical fantasy, you're not really going for accuracy, but rather you're using familiar symbols as touchstones for exploring concepts that aren't easily translated in literal terms. Or maybe that trying to put it literally would lose some of the emotion you want to convey.

	Is there someone you fancy? ~~Is it Tabitha? I bet it's Tabitha, she's~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evercreep 2016-08-14 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, sorry, crushes. Oh?! That's ~~good~~ fine. Although I imagine that'll change at some point. With so many interesting people here, one of them must be your type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Family??? Like a little br~~ Is talking to me nostalgic, then? Well, you start to recognise patterns in the people you've come to like over the years. Maybe you've noticed you tend to like clever students, or tall people. You know, for instance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could say that. I haven't been to England in years. It's strange every time I remember I'm British. I do like clever students and tall people, but maybe it's because I wish I was taller and cleverer? They say you admire most the qualities you wish you had yourself. What is it you "fancy," Calvin?
