beyond the rift } { permission post

OKAY. So Sara's Rift ability now makes her a human lie detector. If she makes direct eye contact with a character, she can be able to tell when they're lying. Not necessarily what they're lying about exactly, and she won't be able to divine the truth, but she'll be able to sense that the lie itself existed.

But given that some characters around here have powers that might not prevent that, permissions post!

So, people of Chicago, answer me this:

Can Sara tell if your character is lying?

AND ... GO!

Mio (this lady right here): maaaaaaaybe. Mio's a psychic with pretty good shields, and she grew up in 'high society' so she has a very good public face, so I want to say that it'd probably be pretty difficult for Sara to get anything definite from Mio. That being said, Mio doesn't tend to lie so much as omit the truth or stretch the truth in new and interesting ways, and I'm not sure if either of those would trigger Sara's ability.

I tend to be pretty clear about what's actually going on in Mio's head vs. what she says in the narration, so I'll pretty much leave it up to you to make judgement calls on a case-by-case basis if/when things come up.



Uchiko-chan (where_thou_art): is the openest of open books. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know how to lie, and if she tried to even a 5-year-old would notice, so she's pretty much an obvious YES.
