meme: veritaserum

[stacyexperiment]

Ask for a questions-type meme and you will get a questions-type meme! We haven't done this one since February, it looks like, so!

Your character has just ingested a large quantity of veritaserum, or "truth potion." Any questions asked of them they have to answer truthfully, whether they want to or not! There's absolutely no way around it.

As usual, nothing is gained from this ICly but it's still fun. Go forth and be honest!

What is the happiest you've been in the last year, and why?

Re: Jono Starsmore

[furnaceface]

Happiest this year? Hell, that's a hard one. Things have been... mostly just a constant level of tolerable, these days. I've had content days, I suppose. Those were alright.

I suppose there's that shallow sort of simple happiness that comes with just shutting off my brain and doing something I enjoy, and if that's the case, I'd say perhaps decorating the Groovy Tunes for Halloween, or sitting and playing my music. Or...

No. No, this is a complicated one because of all of the other feelings that had been going on at the time, but let's go with that feeling of accomplishment, as exhausted as we all were and for as many horrors as we'd seen, that came with reuniting Eleanor with Grace again. Knowing we did it. And we all came back alive, too, and we'd even rescued a child along the way.

I don't usually associate happiness with wanting to curl up and cry into a puddle of vomit, but there it is.

Where you do prefer to be these days, locationwise?

Re: Jono Starsmore

[furnaceface]

It's a toss-up, honestly. I'm far more at ease on the island. I've got a business there, and about as many friends there as I've got in Glacia or back in our world. The island has the added bonus of not coming with a bloody 'hero' status, so...

I'd say Fandom, I think. There are no great expectations. It's been home for longer than most anywhere else, and it actually feels like it.

WHEN ARE YOU PLANNING ON TELLING ME THAT YOU HAD A SMALL CHILD FORCIBLY TELEPATHICALLY BONDED TO YOU? AND WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN CALLED TO CHECK YOU FOR SIDE EFFECTS? Dammit, Jonothon. Therapy. Get it.

Oh, sorry, that last one wasn't a question. Jonothon, where are you getting therapy so I can investigate their credentials and make sure they aren't secretly tied to a mutant organ smuggling organization or something equally ridiculous because I know you and of course that's something that would happen to you?

... Haven't exactly had much cause to trust therapy, since the last time I was actually seeing a therapist about my issues I was kidnapped by a cult and forced to undergo a blood transfusion that completely physically changed my body, against my will, and all.

So... I'm not. And besides, I'm more concerned about Lou's well-being than my own. I think it was her head that was muddled with, not my own. So much. Maybe.

And I was only strapped to a table in a mutant body parts smuggling ring operating room the one time.

Are you willing to try to rebuild your body, or have you entirely given up?

Re: Jono Starsmore

[furnaceface]

I haven't really given up, no. I'm just... wary. Most solutions have been of the 'too easy' variety, and they've never ended well for me. As... can probably be evidenced by the fact that I'm still hollow and on fire.

If I can survive this way, I'll cope. Coping is what I do. I haven't been doing much outright living even with a face. It hardly makes a difference at this point, either way.
