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

Yeah.

I just don't trust myself.

[marineris]

Look, Alex. You can't just hide shit from me because you're afraid of how I'll react. That's not fair.

[donkeyballs]

It ain't just that.

I know where we are. We've kind of got bigger shit to deal with. You don't need to be worryin' about me.

[marineris]

There will always be bigger shit to deal with. That's not an excuse, especially not when I'm telling you I want you to be honest with me.

[donkeyballs]

Well, you gonna tell me what you're feelin', then?

[marineris]

[She hesitates, then sighs.]

You're my best friend. I wasn't letting myself consider anything else, and... Now I can't stop thinking about it.

[donkeyballs]

And when you think about it?

[marineris]

I think it's what I want, but I don't want Talissa hanging over us. I know you still feel guilty about her.

[donkeyballs]

... Yeah. I do.

[marineris]

Sounds like setting ourselves up for failure if she's always at the back of your mind, yeah?

[donkeyballs]

[ He visibly sinks. ]

... I don't know. It ain't like I've managed to do anythin' else but failure.

But there's a reason I didn't want to say any of this, Gunny.

[marineris]

Alex, you're not a failure. It's just... If we're going to be together, I don't want someone else tangled up in it. Work through that first, okay?

[donkeyballs]

I don't even know how I would start, let alone manage it.

But I'll try.
