Truth Serum! Questionbox sort of thing. - Oscare - 06-27-2014
So back in my WoW RP days, in our forums, we had a little game known as "Truth Serum". In the intro of the thread, the thread poster's character would drink something -- be it water, tea, coffee, anything. But this drink was a 'truth serum', and the character would start hearing questions that he or she MUST answer ((unless it gives very important details to plot development or spoilers to anything currently being run IC)) to this voice. This voice could be another character (ex: Jancis asks; "How are you feeling?") and Oscare would respond as if he was talking to this character ICly (even if he doesn't know you ICly!). This Character-to-Character. Another form is "Player-to-Character" where it's more of an OOC question that I would answer as if it were asked ICly (ex: Some forum user says; "Player-to-Character: Do you like tight shirts or baggy ones?"). This not only allowed us to expand our characters in ways we never imagined (like the shirt question above), but it serves as more of 'trivia' thing! Of course, you can't use any of this information in-game. This is all OOC in an IC standard, if that makes any sense.Â
So, if you guys have anything you want to randomly know, ask away! Be as personal as you like.
In-character intro: Oscare sat at his usual chair in the Quicksand when a lovely miqo'te female barmaid approached him. She politely offers him a glass of herbal tea -- strange. He had not ordered anything. But he nods in return and takes a quick sip of it. Something unexpected happened. He started hearing voices once he put the glass down, looking around. No one was speaking to him? He just looks across the table and sees you.Â
"Got something to say?"

Warren turned in the direction of the voice, eyes narrowed.
"Me? Plenty, as always, but Gods know I keep my trap shut to keep the peace. What of it, Master Oscare? What's the deal with that, anyway? Don't like formality?"

Whatever was in the tea has become airborne! EVERYONE HAS TO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY.
"I wear my armor when in public. Unless I'm showing off at the Grindstone. Tell me honest: You like the chocobo more than me, don't you? It's alright, I'm just a nuisance here anyway. You can say it, I'm a tough one."
RE: Truth Serum! Questionbox sort of thing. - Elyscia - 06-27-2014
"Course ah bloody like yer choc'bo mare than ya! Ah like all choc'bo's mare than most folk! But ah'm no gonna lie, ah think yer ah wee bit alright. But yer ah wee bit big 'n' scary.
'Sides, ya don' like miqo'lassies, dae ya?"

[[Remember, questions can be player-to-character too. :D They all don't have to be IC.]]

Warren looks directly into the hard camera and down at all the names reading the thread at the bottom.
"What, don't want to chime in?"

Roen crossed her arms, canting her head. This tea was delicious! And the whole scene had a dreamy quality to it. Sure, why not play along? Red-haired Midlander didn't recognize anyone of the faces, but it did not matter. She was curious about all of them.
"I was once told, our worth is measured by what we do in life. What do you want to do with your life?"

"I want to become the best bow-and-gunman in Eorzea. A sniper that has no match. Eyes that are practically weapons. Curious question. I like your style."

Is there someone you want to end without them ever seeing your eyes?"

There are others I want bleeding on the floor without ever knowing what hit them. This is what a sniper does. This is what I'll do. Is there a problem?" His response was grim.

Now also caught with the bug going around, Coatleque speaks her mind.
"Aye, there is. You fight with no honor, Ser. If you are going to challenge a man, you may as well give him the chance to defend his own and let the Twelve decide who's way is the right of it. Or are you afraid they may not chose you?"

Hornet had been listening quietly but felt compelled into speech after Crofte's question. "Infants starve in the streets while terrible, corrupt men thrive and grow more powerful by the day. If the Twelve are the ones picking the winners they do a piss-poor job of it. Better to handle your fights as safely for you as possible. What gives you the impression that the Twelve are paying a lick of attention to anything that goes on in this world?"

Kiht Jakkya picked a bad time to enter the Quicksand. She sniffed the air and her powerful sense of smell picked up a huge dose of this truth serum stuff that seemed to be flying through the air. Or was it the tea she just drank? Her eyes went wide as she fell into a trance-like state, and her ears perked up to listen to all the voices in the tavern. She heard the question from the Roegadyn woman, but regards the group as she answers.
"I believe the Twelve guide us, but I do not think they dictate what happens. I do not blame them for the boar shite that happens in this world. That is our doing. Magic is my proof of this. The power of Aether. Where else would such a thing come from if it is not from the Twelve? How do you explain the world's wonders?"
