FORCED HONESTY MEME

[foolishjourney]

The Forced Honesty Meme!

It's exactly as it sounds like. idk what to tell you.

HOW TO PLAY:

-Post a top level for your character
-Comment around to other top levels
-Characters ICly ask questions, and those being asked are forced to answer them truthfully
-If you want, you can even have your characters compelled to ask what's on their minds, if they need that extra push to ask something
-Have fun, be urselves, ilu reverie

Thanks for the test, Draco. Got anything else for me?

[Oh, fuck you forced honesty.]

... Why do you care so much about Amos and Prax?

[oorah]

I told you why, after I lost my wife I want to see other people happy like that. Amos doesn't think he can have something like that, that he'll crush it because it's fragile. I get the fear but he's going to regret letting this opportunity pass him by.

[oddbod]

I know. I just wanted to know it was the truth.

Listen, sometimes people love each other very much, for a very long time, and sometimes it works, but sometimes it just won't. It's not up to anyone else to know how they'd be best off.

[oorah]

I thought the lectures were over. [ he's backed off, way off. he hasn't seen amos or clara since that day and he's not about to get in their faces now. ]

[oddbod]

I know. We are. Just... while we're all speaking our minds. I don't blame you, anymore. But sometimes love is sad.

[oorah]

[ she's telling HIM that love is sad? jesus christ. ]

You think because my family was murdered that I idealize my marriage. I don't. Maria and I, we-- we fought like dogs. If we didn't have Lisa and Frank Jr. maybe we wouldn't have stayed together at all. But I loved her, I loved her with my whole person. Everyone should get a taste of that once in their lives.

[oddbod]

[That's... way worse than anything she could have imagined him saying. And if this conversation was taking place outside the constructs of a Forced Honestly Meme, she would apologize ten times over. But there's something biggest on her mind, trying to get out.]

... I thought I had. I really thought I had. But we ruined each other, and now I'll never have love or a family or any of that. That's why I got so defensive. It was like the universe was laughing at me. An hour of feeling a little less alone, just to be reminded that that's all I'll ever be.

[oorah]

You deserve happiness just as much as he does. I care about that, too. I just had a shitty way of showing it.
