Time Of Truthiness!

Who: Everyone!
Where: All over the city!
Summary: The Time of Truthiness is upon Hinoto-Ri!
Warnings: Basically everything.

It begins. A strange aura spreads out over Hinoto-Ri, stealing into the hearts, minds, and mouths of every denizen of the city, changing them - embiggening their souls with the power of TRUTHINESS.

For one week, Hinoto-Ri becomes a city where no lies can exist. Who is responsible for this? Will their dedication to ABSOLUTE TRUTHINESS bring them victory...or defeat?

DUN DUN DUUUUUN

Tune in to the Destiny Strings Broadcast Special: Time of Truthiness to find out!

ooc: okay folks, go ahead and mingle!

If someone notices this massive change in the hearts and minds of the citizens... it sure isn't going to be Midori. She's dedicated to truth and justice already.

She is, however, running around the city a lot today, for a reason to bump into her anywhere. Why is she running around?

She's taking pictures of good places to pose.

Naoya, for his part, is just going about his normal routine. He can do a lot of his work at home, so that leaves him a lot of spare time to run out and do errands.

Today, someone might find him walking around, carrying a shopping bag - or alternatively milling around, just people-watching.

[He took the day off from work today, not because he could necessarily afford it (between missed time with the kidnapping and the hospital bills, his funds were getting low) but because he wasn't sure what answers he would find, and that alone was enough to worry him.

It was probably a wise decision. Hospital hours on Sundays were short, but all he needed to do was walk in and pick up the hard copy of his test information, which was simple enough. The receptionist handed it over to him with a smile, something he echoed back brightly enough.

And then, as he walked, he looked over the tests himself.

Everything looked normal. He was perfectly fit, with blood levels all comfortably within the acceptable range, and no health issues to speak of aside from a slightly high cholesterol intake.

Except that in of itself was completely, horribly wrong. He'd kept track of the time; by now, he should have been suffering from anemia at the very least, if not further degeneration of his body. He should have been slowly dying by now, to ensure that the fate met by Yaiba did not come about again.

He's visibly shaken as he exits the hospital, setting a quick pace back to his apartment in Pisces. He won't call out to anyone, or stop to say hi, but he can't exactly prevent it if someone catches him for some socializing...]

Maugris is, of course, not out until after sunset. It's a nice night, so he's taking a walk while it's safe to do so, wandering in the general direction of the library in Aquarius, simply because it's the only big library he's actually found in the city. He actually looks like a reasonably healthy human being tonight, given that he found some animals to feed off of last night. The general idea is that he's still trying to get a good grasp of what the people of Hinoto-Ri know of their circumstances, and he's not sure he wants to rely on the government for it just yet.

He's humming to himself as he walks, but he's probably not adverse to being bothered. It's my job to be cleaning up this mess, and that's enough reason to go for me...

[ Yuri's not the type of person who would figure out that people were telling the truth immediately. Sure, it may take her a while to figure out the truth (read: several minutes at best), but it's not as if she's hiding from anyone.

There are various places to find Yuri, whether she's in the SSS HQ at the Phoenix Free School, shopping for clothes or weapons. And all seems normal. Too normal.

Dare to ruin her day? ]

At the beginning of the week, Miyako didn't notice anything odd, yet. But it won't be long until someone ask the right (or wrong) questions to her.

Miyako can be found either entering or exiting JP's HQ, shopping for things she need to restock on or working out in the gym floor at Pisces apartment. And sometimes, she may be found occasionally stopping to look at a violin on display in a music store. Hm.

[Nano's far too trusting and naive to really notice much of anything going wrong, and generally honest about most things that don't have to do with her robotic nature. It's going to take her a while to figure out what's happening, so anyone who wants to know her deep, dark secrets should probably ask her before she does.

She can be found in various places throughout town during the week - at the Pisces apartments where she lives, the Ichiban Market doing her grocery shopping, the front desk of the Amagi Inn, and even out and about during the 13th Hour as she does her part to help fight demons and monsters.]

[Throughout the week, Aoi will continue her routine more or less as usual - although it was surprising at first, she doesn't really have anything that needs to be hidden so desperately that she can just give up on going outside for. As time goes on, she'll just do her best to avoid those topics.

Places where she can be found include the area around her house (Libra), inside her house (hi Avitus and Yuzuru), shopping in Virgo, and patrolling the streets at night/during the Thirteenth hour - particularly Leo, since that's where she's officially assigned.]

Weird truthiness times are obviously the very best times for someone new to show up. Definitely.

The Commander just has wonderful luck, that's all.

For anyone passing by, there's a kid with bright orange hair and a vaguely military uniform-like outfit now standing on the sidewalk, clutching a helmet to his chest almost like a comfort toy. He looks uneasy, eyes darting from side to side - this definitely isn't New Pork City, and forget the Mother Porkship or the Chimera Labs - but besides that he seems to be keeping himself composed for now.

If no one approaches him soon, he'll probably decide to take initiative and ask the first purposeful-looking passerby where he is.

As the bizarre week continues, Visitors may be surprised to find Kandori less in the M.A.G.I. headquarters and more out and about.

He looks mildly amused at the situation.

Ruri is out, walking around, with a holographic display up to her side, occasionally ticking away at various things on it and sighing heavily as she moves through the city.

"Something is stupider than usual, I can feel it."

He hasn't spoken to that many people yet, and those he has he wouldn't be lying to anyway. Riku's sitting on a bench by himself, peoplewatching. Dare you approach?

Shura is not difficult at all to find if one wants to bother her: she runs twice daily, at dawn and after sunset, often with an avalanche of Jack Frost following her. She also works at the Penguin's Nest 4 nights a week. She has not yet realized the thing about the truthiness: she chalks that one time she had kicked a dude out and had told him she hoped his death would be slow, messy and painful (and had meant it) to a lack of tact caused by lack of sleep.

Gale can be hard to find, as he doesn't get out much, except for the 13th hour, where he goes out to battle demons and keep his tactical and battle skills honed to perfection. He's even, dare I say, starting to enjoy it.

Dojima has figured out about the truthiness thing: not who or what caused it, but it was obvious that no one in the station could lie, cops and suspects alike. One could think it made life better, but without the usual little white lies that kept office politics running more or less smoothly, hell had broken loose at the station. Dojima left the station earlier to escape it, and can now be found patrolling the streets, eager to go home but too dedicated to work to go home to hide and not feel guilty about it.

Erk is frowning as he reads the network news. "Why are we relying on these people for news if they're so happy to blame us for everything?" he mutters to himself from his position on a park bench, next to several books. Good thing it's a nice day, though of course if it wasn't he wouldn't have dared take these books outside.

"Why are they talking about 'ratings', anyway? What are they being rated on?"

[This is a hard effect to gauge, when you spend little of your day talking to anyone. Though Nik knows something is up once he gets to work and answers some questions from his employees and customers a little too honestly. Weird.

He goes about his business as usual, though, being ever quieter than normal... not that that's easy to tell. You might find him out for a jog, having a drink at a nice bar, or even out during the 13th hour.]

[After a fateful meeting with someone unexpected, Lucas had continued walking, his mind still lost in a whirl of emotion. Around every corner, he hoped to spot a certain person bearing a helmet and a sword... But it soon became obvious that the Masked Man was long gone. For those around Hinoto-Ri today, a young boy, about 12 or 13, can be seen wandering around the city aimlessly, a mingled expression of exhaustion and melancholy on his face. It is fairly obvious from his dirt-streaked cheeks and his reddened eyes that he has been crying.

Eventually, he will realize he cannot keep walking forward. He is too tired, even, to be shy and so he will approach without fear.]

...I'm sorry.

I don't know where I am. Could you help?

[Tsukasa goes about his daily business, mostly oblivious to what's going on. He's usually looking for food or trying to find art supplies.]

[At night, though, he can easily be found around the more demon-infested areas. He doesn't seem to be worried by the volume of creatures around him - he's taking most of them on with ease.]

[... Except when they're resistant to his elements. Then he runs.]

[Ushiro can mostly be found at school during the week - like people being stupid is going to stop him from getting good grades.]

[A problem comes up during the week though - he's walking in Virgo ward, and stops to look at some balloons. The stall owner laughs a little.]

'You wanna get one, kid? Or one for your sister, maybe?'

[Ushiro stares at the man, expression falling.]

My sister's dead. So no.

[... He hadn't meant to say that. Cue Ushiro attempting to walk away quickly, not noticing who or what he's bumping into.]
