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!

[ There's a sort of knot in her chest that she can't seem to ignore. The natural numbness she feels is still recovering from the twisted rush of pleasure but there must be something else at play here. She considers her next move carefully accepting that Sombra is probably right. For all Widow knew her very body was microchipped to be tracked by Talon.

She was their property however.]

You are still such a child.

[The words were slipping from her lips before she could stop them.]

As if you would be worth anything as a mindless puppet or lapdog.

If you had the potential for either of those things do you think Talon would waste their time on you or your games?

[The words are cold and biting in tone, but underneath it something that even shocks Amélie. Was The infamous Widowmaker actually...attempting to comfort Sombra?]

[ her eyebrows creased together, she opens her mouth to speak—then closes it. Whatever reply she planned is gone, her words lost in a turmoil of confusion and suspicion as soon as she heard Widowmaker's. Sombra's so used to being on the receiving end of her scorn that anything else is almost like a different language, recognizable by sound but not meaning. And reassurances, even a backhanded one like this? Even stranger. Is whatever this is affecting her too?

The thought doesn't comfort or please Sombra. Taking advantage of it just seems... wrong, given what Widowmaker's already been through. ]


I get what you're saying, and... [ she pauses as if hesitating, but she couldn't stay quiet if she tried. ] Thanks. I guess. But trust me—if I thought for a second they were going to try and repeat what they did to you on me, I wouldn't still be here. I know when to get out when a job's gone wrong.

[ The knot in her chest loosened somewhat, and she wasn't even that irritated at the insult that would normally leave her pining for a chance to teach Sombra some respect.]

If you were offered a position on the main council would you take it? Or would that be getting you in too deep?

[ It was true enough if Sombra got in with the leaders of Talon she'd have even more access to precious information, but it would come with a cost. Reaper and Doomfist were already on the Council and Widowmaker knew well enough that she would never be allowed a place there.

She was no leader, she was a tool. One of their own creation.]

I would—

[ “—take it, of course! Can you imagine how much fun it would be to be at the head of this kind of organization?” Sombra tries to say, but her laugh turns into a short coughing fit when her throat seizes up as if she suddenly swallowed something she wasn't supposed to.

After it passes, she presses her hand against her throat and scowls. ]


Ugh. Fine—no, I wouldn't. Talon's too focused on itself. I'm not interested in pretending to lead it with those boring old guys in exchange for intel when there are more important secrets out there.

[ Widow squints, tense and irritated.]

What was that?

[The only invisible force Widow even comes close to trusting is Sombra herself.]

[ she waves a hand in the air. ]

Whatever this thing is. Guess it doesn't like it when you try to tell lies.

How dangerous.

I didn't think it could actually...I swear I saw indentations on your throat.

[ this is new. Sombra is far more used to seeing Widowmaker promptly turning on her heels and leaving the room when she enters it than this abrupt closing of distances, but she stays still without flinching while being ‘examined.’ ]

And I swear it almost sounds like my favorite spider's worried about me. But that can't be true, can it?
nevermissspider: <user name="proverbially"> (oh?)

[personal profile] nevermissspider 2017-08-03 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it's true!

[ she freezes, then springs back like she's been burned glaring at...well since she can't locate the source of the truth spirit she'll just glare and fall silent.]

[ Sombra snickers, her earlier dark mood dissipating. So this effect did go two ways. A faint revulsion still rises within her when she thinks about how she could use it to find out what Widowmaker managed to keep hidden from Talon, if anything—but there shouldn't be any harm in some friendly teasing, right? ]

Aww, I didn't know you cared about me that way, amiga. [ she moves her hand away from her neck with a flourish: ta-da. No marks. ] Look: it's fine. Sorry if I scared you.

[ as sorry as anyone can be with a grin that wide on their face, anyway. ]

[ It is not entirely possible for Widow to blush given her physical modifications, but if you squint you might trick yourself into seeing it.]

Silence! You are more annoying when you don't have control over that mouth of yours Maître de la marionnette.

And you know as well as I do that I do not feel fear.

[She says that but it sure seems like she's having a hard time NOT feeling things lately. Her perfect blue lips are even pouting.]
