[Jarod appears]

So this is what they call a "Flood", is that correct?

OOC: Jarod is affected by the Truth flood.

Yes, it's a flood. In which one is forced to tell the truth. For example.


What is your name?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

The truth. Subjectively or in actuality?

I'm Jarod.

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

I'm hardly in a position to tell one from the other.

How do you know if you're affected or not?

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

If you feel you have no choice.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Are you?

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

I have three feet. That would mean 'no'.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

How would one avoid being affected in the future? This seems like a very serious situation.

[bob-fraser-snr.livejournal.com]

'Be lucky' seems the only solution. Sometimes you're hit, sometimes you're not. Although one time a flood was limited to the inmates, but that was the only occasion in my time here.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Random chance, except for when it isn't. I was affected, you weren't.

Strange. Not a really effective way to run a ship.

Well, I believe it's more to do with intrademensional 'weather' more than anything, which certainly would fall into that particular 'random chance' idea, after all, weather is a delicate system to calculate, at the best of times.
