goose_ooc | VERITASERUM Pt. 2: CHARACTERS

VERITASERUM MEME:
CHARACTERS

Oh no, your character has accidentally ingested Veritaserum! This powerful truth serum effectively forces the drinker to answer any questions put to them truthfully. This is probably bad news for even the most well-behaved teenager.

RULES

Post your characters as individual comments, then wait for other people to ask questions! So people can find them more easily, please remember to put your character's name in the subject line.

If you'd like to post a general question, go to THIS POST. Anyone can come along and answer these questions.

Your character has to be honest to the best of their knowledge. They will answer with what they believe is the truth. They can also attempt to evade answering, as long as they don't lie.

Please remember to keep questions PG-13. You can ask sex stuff, just don't get explicit.

This meme is strictly non-canon. Nothing said in this post is part of game canon in any way. When we return to our regularly scheduled game, your character absolutely cannot reference anything revealed to them in this meme. If you do, the mods may have to tsk tsk you and ask you to take back the reference. No one wants that.

Shit. I'm sorry. That sucks. And I don't know, sounds like it was a good card to pull if you got to come back and get some space. Everyone does what they've gotta to take care of themselves, right?

And it's not that. It's that I don't think anyone's happy just doing what they're told day after day, letting people who don't even know them or what they need dictate their lives. What kind of bullshit is that?

Yeah. I guess so. I got here in the end, so. It worked, at least.

And yeah. I get that. A lot, actually. But I don't really think of school rules like that. The ones that are enforced are mostly there to keep us safe, and the rest are simple enough to follow without it intruding on how I actually want to live. Figure I can put up with ties and going back at 10pm for a few years if it means a better life later on.

Will it really be a better life just because you obeyed curfew and wore your uniform perfectly? Your mom can't pull you out of school now. You're Head Boy. It's every mom's dream.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not breaking rules for the hell of it, I'm not an asshole. I don't want to make Cash's life hard.

Thanks.

No problem. I don't need a babysitter, you don't want to be one. Just give me the extra withering stare when I'm crossing a line.

Noted. [...] I'm not anticipating trouble.

Wooow, so many good foxes. 2016's House Mug is OURS. I'm like pretty sure I'm gonna give Zach a heart attack this year?????

Plausible deniability isn't really your thing, is it.

Maybe I should ask Zach if he'd still love me if I caused him trouble. Where's HIS NAME????

Edited (sorry) 2017-08-21 19:06 (UTC)

Good luck finding him. Maybe he's revelling in his time off.

I know he misses us. We don't SMELL LIKE BURGERS.

Don't underestimate us.

No? Most of the other prefects are kind freaking out. You sound confident.

You aren't stupid. I assume that makes my job easier.

I can be pretty stupid sometimes, but not in a way that'll come back on you, boss.

Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.

Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.

Is that what we're calling him now?

Unless he hates it or just wants me and me alone to do it (wink!) sure why not.

Although I kiiiiinda can't imagine Todd doing it.

Maybe not better, just because of little things. But easier, because I've never had to pick tiny fights.
And I want to, just to set a good example, so I can keep being an effective prefect. I'm not going to be perfect at them or punish people because they aren't, though. I want to be realistic and keep the peace without being overly controlling. That's important.

And I didn't take this as a challenge, don't worry.

Yeah, can't say my way ever makes anything easier. Good luck, I guess. Don't know how you're gonna pull it off but they probably picked you for a good reason, right? You seem like a nice guy.

Great. Sorry if I get in trouble with you some day. It'll have been ~~totally~~ probably by accident.

I'm counting this as a vote of faith, and thank you.
[...] I don't know why they picked me either. But I'm hoping to not disappoint everyone too many times. We'll see.

Sounds reasonable. I promise fair punishment and appropriate lecture times.
Hope to never have to give either.

It definitely is. Anyway, how hard can it be, right? You know what your job is. And it's not like the prefects could've given the forest detention and stopped all of that from happening. You guys need to relax.

I hope to never get either. Won't hold it against you if shit happens, though.

The power must be going to my head already. I would love to give the forest detention.
