it's better to tell the truth, usually.

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!

I was hoping that was, you know... the way it always does after scary stuff.

But I feel that way too.

Maybe we're wrong. Maybe that is just the way that kind of shit ends. But it's better to be prepared, right?

[iworry]

I couldn't ever decide. It's too big.

That's why we need you, I guess.

[hiyosilver]

Do you think we're all gonna stay close? It feels like everything's changing.

[iworry]

I... want us to... but I'm gonna go live with my aunts.

I'll write you!

[hiyosilver]

Maybe my parents will let me come visit.

[iworry]

I... that'd be nice.

[But, the truth-]

I don't think they will.

[hiyosilver]

[ Wow the truth blows. He deflates a little, nodding. ]

Yeah. Me neither.

[iworry]

But they can't stop us from sending letters. We can say it's a school assignment.

[hiyosilver]

Honestly, I don't think Mom would even notice I was writing them. They're definitely a safer bet.

[iworry]

Maybe I'll say it's a school assignment. I don't want anybody nosing around in my business.

[hiyosilver]

I wouldn't blame you.

[ Not after her dad. That's a big old ball of nope. ]
