I ▹ BLOOD MAGIC
Jim should have figured they wouldn't come back from that cave entirely unaffected. The last time he died he ended up with a soreness in his shoulder and down his side that has never quite vanished, sometimes even prickling and feeling a little numb, so when he actually can't sense anything different in him for days after they come back, it starts to feel like something is just strange or off.
It starts with vague dreams, at first; he can hear droplets fall, something dripping, dripping... it's not until the third night that he notices that the droplets are dark red, thick, pooling on the ground, spattering around. Then he begins to hear voices. Unintelligible words, and it's his voice reaching out, calling, the whispers and the sound of the falling blood drops growing louder and louder, almost deafening, until everything goes still and quiet and all he can hear is his own voice:
Listen to me.
He doesn't know what compels him to try this in the morning, but he does: he goes out to the field at the farm, and he takes out a sharp knife and nicks himself on the finger with it. There's a prickle of pain and he hisses, but instead of focusing on that, he closes his eyes and thinks of a specific person, someone he knows, and reaches out with his mind.
The message is short. A test, just to see if it really does what he thinks it should or not. Somewhere in the city, someone should be getting Jim's voice ringing in their head...
This is Jim Kirk. I'm at the farmland in Sigyn's district. If you can hear this message, please come meet me here.

Like many others, Jim doesn't escape Odin's curse. He's not a secretive person by nature, however, nor does he tend to lie, so he doesn't worry much that he might say something he doesn't want to. However, depending on what hour of the day someone runs into him, he may be feeling less or more frustrated with the curse that compels him to speak the truth, even when unasked or unprompted.
On the other hand, he might instead run into someone else who's affected. He won't use that to his own personal gain, though he might tease just a bit if he's comfortable with the person... But he won't be mean, really.
((ooc: for this prompt, basically feel free to write up your own starter as you think might best suit the compelled truth curse! I'm open to anything at all.))

He smiles a little sadly. Although he knows it's not her intention, the way she puts it makes him feel even guiltier for his uncertainty about leaving. After all, wouldn't he be abandoning his own friends and crew by lingering here?
"Guess there's no point in worrying about that for now anyway, is there? Not until there really is a way out of here."

That's most definitely the honesty curse talking. There are a lot of things she said just now that she wouldn't have minded admitting to Jim in the slightest, but this one is much more of a border case. It rolls off her tongue easily now, even giving him a slightly shy smile, but she'll definitely freak out about it later.
(Honestly, it's not even that big or bad of a thing to admit to, but Chizuru would feel guilty regardless for bothering someone with her personal flaws.)
"But I'll try. Even though I feel kind of bad about my stay here, I want to make sure to enjoy the better parts of it while I still can."

"Good," he nods, smiling. "It's not always easy. I know, believe me. But you know if you ever need to talk, I'm around to listen."
