So Stacey is being nice and letting me pretend this is my week, because I actually sat on this for a week, thinking that this was my week, as opposed to, you know, last week. You can logic it out with characters however you want, because it probably boils down to 'Ysa and Tricksy decided to be, well, tricky and screw with dates,' for the people who have figured out patterns and are taking careful notes. I know at least one of you is out there.

Anyway. Instead of screwing with people's abilities to keep things to themselves in a literal no-can-lie way, right now Ysa has made every character have all the feels. About everything. All the emotions, positive or negative, are super-heightened. So you might be ABLE to lie or just stay away from a topic but you don't WANT to, because everything is SUPER. EMOTIONAL. AND NEEDS. TO BE. DISCUSSED. NOW. Even if it's just look at the shiny thing.

Have, uh, fun with that.

IDK if she bothered putting in protections for people like Loki (the Norse one) whose really strong emotions can level buildings. Probably people whose really strong emotions would cause mass chaos ... the mass chaos is made slightly smaller so it doesn't destroy the property, but it's otherwise unchecked.

HEY GUYS. I'm actually awake as the date rolls over again. GETTING TIRED OF THIS and also having major IJ issues, but anyway! I am forcing myself and my computer to make this post.

The first thing that is going to happen with Ysa's week is that the outdoor sky is really not the way it used to be at first.

Because it's fading slowly through the entire spectrum of colors at a fairly slow rate; it starts the day at red and ends the day at purple, like most sunrises and sunsets actually do -- but it covers orange, yellow, green and blue throughout the day too. There are screen savers that do this! I totally can't find an example. I'm tired. But the sky is going to be all sorts of colors. All week.

The other thing is that throughout the next week characters will find themselves unable to lie. Actually, this will always be true of when Ysa's in charge; there will be some variant on not being able to lie, because she has issues. I'm going to change them up a lot as time goes on, though (Stacey, Leigh and Brady got in on some of the ideas because they were there, but I'll have a lot I promise).

THIS TIME it's straight up "can't lie," which means if the characters think of it they can still obfuscate around it, and it is only in effect on the network (meaning they can lie in person and text messages/notes). It also won't be happening to everyone at the same time; pick whenever you want during the week for as long as you want it to go on! I'm totally flexible and so is Ysa.

GUYS.

IN THIS POST.

I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO HARD. SO YOU KNOW.


I am also fond of the followup resulting in this post but it's not as explosively lolarious.
