/takes two memes and stitches them together

THE FORCED HONESTY MEME

ONE. post a comment with your character, either a blank comment or them confessing something TWO. reply to other characters with questions and/or reactions. THREE. no one has a brain-to-mouth filter anymore. everything they say has to be the honest to god truth. FOUR. hideousness ensues FIVE. no one is ever late, this meme has been done in various ways like sixty times before, and i will love you forever if you know where the gif comes from

I don't feel it's fair to ask you personal questions while you are induced to honesty.

[look who missed the whole point of this exercise]

[futurebatwoman]

Heh. That's nice of you.

Can I - ask you something personal? It's not about your past or anything. I promise.

[hacktivist]

...certainly.

[futurebatwoman]

[ wow this is actually really hard to phrase right ]

You can ask me whatever you want in return.

I just - wanted to know why me.

... I mean, why you care about me.

I don't know how to ask it right.

[beat beat beat--

Ghost is unconsciously twisting his hands in each other, and then abruptly opening them palm out as if the answer is self evident]

All that you are - all that you represent - begs my allegiance.

You are why I remain--elegant code--the proof of humanity's worth neatly packaged.

[futurebatwoman]

Oh.

[ beat. she doesn't even know what to say. ]

I. Thank you. Sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked, it wasn't fair.

[hacktivist]

Weaknesses often deserve exploitation.

[futurebatwoman]

It's not a weakness, and I wouldn't exploit it if it was.

It just - confused me. A lot.

[hacktivist]

Why?

[futurebatwoman]

[ pause. ]



I can count the number of people in my life who have genuinely cared what happened to me on one hand. And have fingers left over.

I mean, I guess you could say my dad cares and he's just terrible at showing it. But that doesn't really up the list by much. So I don't really - expect - people thinking that I - matter.

[hacktivist]

...Perhaps--I had wondered why you decided to become a vigilante.
