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!

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)

	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.
