So, you're hooked up to a lie detector. Who knows why. Bad luck, I guess. The fact remains that, unlike certain forced-truth memes, you can lie... but your thread partner will know immediately. Is it worth the risk?
- Top level. Feel free to leave preferences, or even reasons why your character might be connected to a lie detector in the first place.
- Comment around! Ask those uncomfortable questions. Make 'em squirm! Or help them out of the lie detector, if you're a kind soul.
- Have fun! (Or else.)
Workin' 9-5, What a Way to Make a Livin'...

We're all used to playing our characters in special circumstances--sharing a bath, AUed into a robot, in the rain, lost in the ball pit (well that's one way to get your extra hour)...but how often do we get to actually play our characters doing their day jobs?
This meme is for just that.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Write a starter about your character going about their day/night at work, wherever that may be.
If your character is a doctor, write them checking in on a patient, or having a meal in the hospital cafeteria. If they're a lawyer, write them at court. If they're a professional ghost-hunter? Yeah, that'd be a pretty neat starter too!
Be sure to include some sort of hook that allows other characters to join in the action, even if your character works alone. Maybe they brought their pile of research out to a cafe? Maybe they need help with something?
2. Respond to other characters' starters.
3. Thread. Have a good day at work, or perhaps an awful day at work.
So many ideas left unexplored
29/1/26 08:40highfunctioning_sociopath posting in dear_munAh, Mun, here we are again.
It's been another... hiatus you call it? How many years this time? Six? More? And what has inspired you this time? All those little ideas that continued to percolate? They just wouldn't let you go...
And now you've returned to me, because you're just like me: a user . I've been terribly slow. 14 years in, and I've finally discovered that you utilise me for "stress processing".
Well, I have some home truths to tell you: there is doubtless any John Watson around to help you play out any of these situations. Let alone Mary, Molly, Lestrade... or... others.
[He means his brother, Mrs Hudson, or the other Yarders.]
So, what you need to do is pack me up and put me away. Then just go and write these stories. You don't need me to play them out. You are actually quite capable of working them out on your own.
"More fun," you say? For whom? Oh, that's right, because it's all about you. Never mind me.

28/1/26 19:23unkeptsecret posting in dear_playerThe discussions regarding my great-grandfather is... interesting to read. Of course, one shouldn't pay attention to rumors assumptions. Especially not about those whom can not speak up to defend their honor.
[Alas, he's incredibly amused by the idea that he wasn't the first Baratheon to fall in love with a knight.]
Now, I'd appreciate that this new tall tale (ha punny) has renewed your interest in myself. I'm bursting with excitement to see where it takes us. I need to get back and stretch my legs. Much yet to see and do.
