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!

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.

[renaitre]

It isn't funny. It's uncomfortable to know that you're interested in my doppelganger.

[tropdenotes]

You should be flattered. You've given me a type!

[renaitre]

We're not even remotely the same type. We only look alike.

[tropdenotes]

He also lies on the floor and cries more often than he does anything else. Morgana has told me so.

[renaitre]

We are still not the same sort of person, and he still doesn't have much to do with it.

[tropdenotes]

I am not more interested in him than I am in you.

[renaitre]

I don't think that you are. If you were, you would not be here.

[tropdenotes]

Then you should not worry about him or about anyone.

[renaitre]

I don't have to be worried about anyone, to dislike being there.

[tropdenotes]

You default disliked it before you even knew what it was. Do you mean to say you don't feel any different, at all, now?

[renaitre]

I don't. I never disliked it any less than I did, to begin with.

[tropdenotes]

There is nothing about it you like?

[renaitre]

There is not enough to outweigh what I don't like. There are a few people whose company I enjoy, and the beach in daylight is novel.

[tropdenotes]

Not the house? The shops? Your Christmas present???

[renaitre]

These are things. I may like them, but it doesn't change that I don't like the place.

[tropdenotes]

Why do you hate it so much?

[renaitre]

It's too small. There's no anonymity.

[tropdenotes]

That's what bothers you?

[renaitre]

Yes. Everyone knows one another's business. I find it irksome.

[tropdenotes]

So don't tell anyone your business. Hide in the basement, that is what you do anyway.

[renaitre]

Whether or not they know my business, they all know me.
