you lied to me before.

TRUTH MEME

Sometimes, you have to tell the truth. No, I mean, you have to. Maybe it's magic, or a promise, or nanobots; who knows. But you have to tell the truth, and everyone knows it. Of course, do half-tuths count? What about lying by omission? That's up to you, and how far you want this curse, this ailment, to go. The only thing that can't be escaped is the truth, whatever form that truth takes.

What happens next?

You decide.

• Post your character to the meme.
• They have to tell the truth when they're asked questions.
• What others ask is up to them. Nothing is off limits.
• Your character has to answer... eventually.
• Tag around and ask other characters questions!

Something always seems to prompt it.

[renaitre]

You, most often.

[tropdenotes]

Me! What? Never. I don't want to talk about this! You always bring it up!

[renaitre]

You say things that prompt me to respond with it.

[tropdenotes]

I say nothing of the sort. And you want to threaten to leave me!

[renaitre]

I have not threatened to leave you. You were the one who said you might replace me, and you are the one who has no interest in ceasing to discuss your activities with others, when I've been very clear that I would prefer not to hear about it.

[tropdenotes]

I said I might have to replace you, if you decide not to join me on adventures. I don't want to do these things.

As for the rest of it, I am only trying to encourage your involvement!

[renaitre]

You told me repeatedly that it was a possibility. That's more than enough prompting.

It has never encouraged my involvement.

[tropdenotes]

Well of course it was a possibility, if you were planning to let me move on my own! Do you expect me to spend eternity by myself?

Ah, ah. What was that, again? People change, despite a long-lived history of being exactly the way they are?

[renaitre]

I do not. But you can't argue that you didn't bring it up.

I never negated that. I only said it has never, historically. Whether or not it might, eventually, has nothing to do with the fact that it makes no difference to you that it bothers me.

[tropdenotes]

And you cannot argue that you did not take it in a different way than it was intended.

Would you rather I was not honest with you?

[renaitre]

I didn't know how it was intended, I took it at face value.

I would prefer not to hear about it.

[tropdenotes]

And you thought I didn't take your threats of not coming with me to Town seriously?

[renaitre]

I was serious. I also didn't suppose you would stay there indefinitely.

[tropdenotes]

I do not stay there indefinitely. I came home with you.

[renaitre]

I know you didn't. However, at the time, I had no idea how long you might stay.

[tropdenotes]

Well, neither did I. And you didn't want to find out!

[renaitre]

I did not. I still have little to no interest in that place.

[tropdenotes]

Are you still mad about Arthur?

[renaitre]

What aspect of him?

[tropdenotes]

His existence.

[renaitre]

His existence doesn't make me mad.

[tropdenotes]

His existence near us?

[renaitre]

Your interest in him. His being there has very little to do with my disliking it, though.

[tropdenotes]

Why does it bother you so much? It's funny.
