JULY EVENT INFO: KNIGHTS AND KNAVES
no sign-up sheet goes up on Friday's desk. perhaps this will be a nice, quiet month?
for the entire month of July, starting on the 1st and ending midnight on the 31st, contact with water will cause characters to be inflicted with a curse: for an hour, characters will only be able to speak the absolute truth OR complete lies.
- the characters are entirely unaware of what they are saying; to their minds, they will be speaking normally, and saying whatever they actually meant to say. they can, however, be told that they are doing this, or what they are saying, and are free to believe it, or not.
- after the hour is over, characters become aware of what has happened and recall everything that they've said.
- there is no innate compulsion to speak. staying silent is a viable way of counteracting the curse.
- HOWEVER, texting or writing isn't. written words will be impacted, and now you're just leaving an embarrassing paper trail.
- any amount of physical contact with any source of water will inflict the curse. these sources include, but are not limited to: showers, sinks, pools, fountain drinks, bottled water, ice, the ocean.
- non-water liquids (liquor, canned drinks that aren't water) are not impacted.
- the hour begins after contact with water ceases (i.e. character leaves the pool, swallows the water) and can be extended, up to indefinitely, by further contact with water.
- rain is also impacted. luckily, the weather is always so nice! except, it's actually going to rain, all day, every weekend throughout the month. it's never more than a light drizzle, but it's enough.
feel free to use this post as a plotting post!

You know why I have to ask this SIGH
2. If person 1 is damp from a shower and touches person 2, is person 2 affected?
3. How... how is physical affection affected?
no subject
2. this would be physical contact with water, so, yes.
3. grabs your face how could a hug be interpreted as truthful or false how would that even be a thing
no subject
3. You hug differently when it's a false hug!! OR I DUNNO I am actually
dyingFALLING OVER TO SLEEP why the fuck did I type dying but maybe it's just easier to not... think... about this too deeply due to headaches. Keep it easy. God. I had a point when I asked. I SWEAR. It's gone now.3REVENGE. I remembered!!! When you go to lovingly caress their cheek because you LOVE THEM it is like, instead. I DUNNO something terrible I can't even type it. :(
