FORCED HONESTY MEME




You know the drill:

Post with your character.
Your character has to tell the truth and nothing but the truth!

Now interrogate each other.

[Not pulling any punches, huh?]

I. I kept information from my friends. I had a good reason, but still.

And. Well. How things ended with Byakuran.

[chimericalclaw]

[he likes learning about his employees :)]

Keeping secrets is hardly the worst thing in the world, conceptually. Especially depending on the reason.

Byakuran?

[theskyaccepts]

I didn't want to drag them into it, but that just made things worse.

[He really regrets it.]

He'd taken over the future. I had to stop him. Even if it meant using my flames.

[chimericalclaw]

[my, what a complicated sounding situation...]

And what are your flames capable of?

[theskyaccepts]

A lot of things. But they can burn.

[Did he maybe burn a guy up? Yeah. But the guy got better. #timetravel]

[chimericalclaw]

[These vague answers... there's a hint of amused sarcasm in his:]

As most flames do... Are they so awful?

[theskyaccepts]

No, they're not. But they can also...I used my flames to stop Byakuran. If I didn't, he would have hurt a lot of people, more than he already did.

But, he still...when the flames stopped, he wasn't there anymore.

[chimericalclaw]

[hmm.]

Violence isn't an easy decision to make, even when the other options are to let innocents be harmed.

Did you have others to support you afterwards?

[theskyaccepts]

I did...I do...my friends. They get it. But it still lingers.

[chimericalclaw]

[it always seems to go this way. children granted powers that just lead them to tragedy...]

Don't forget to lean on them when you need to, Tsunayoshi. [...] Are you able to talk about your powers and those things with people outside of your friends, back home?

[theskyaccepts]

Don't worry. I won't forget. I've learned that lesson.

[They're his Pride after all.]

But no, not really. It's not something I want to talk about with them. And there's Omerta anyway.
