Be Truthful (But Look Around)

You look down at the ground, your eyes taking in the size of the circle and the shape of the runes around it. You cannot make heads or tails of what they mean, since this is still your first day dealing with magic, but you still check your boundaries, taking a half step forward and then one to each side to find invisible walls there as well. You have little to no room to move it seems but still your mind races, trying to think of a way out.

"First question," Vicki suddenly says, drawing you out of your thoughts, "What are your plans for Amelia?"

In this case, as you try to puzzle out your situation, it seems best to buy time by playing along with Vicki's game for now. To your surprise, the moment you decide to be truthful, your mouth opens of its own accord and you find yourself saying, "She said she wants to be my friend, so I want to be hers too. And if part of being that friend means she wants me to fuck that tight little body of hers, I will."

You mentally file away the knowledge of that being how a Truth Binding worked. You wonder if perhaps you could buy time by being unsure if you wanted to answer a quation or not or if that would count as a refusal to answer, which Vicki warned you would have consequences.

Vicki scowls at you a little more, though there is a more thoughtful cast to it as she ponders how you answered. Taking her pause as a chance to look at the circle more, one of the symbols catches your attention. For most of the circle, there is a repeated pair of symbols around it save for one pair to your right. You do not know exactly what they mean but it seems likely they may be the key to how the Truth Binding works.

Your attention is brought back to Vicki as she asks, "So you consider yourselves fuck buddies then?"

Again, you see no reason to lie about that and the second you make that decision you find yourself responding, "Well, yeah. She told me I could use her as my personal cumdump whenever and wherever I wanted to. That seems like it would fit the definition of fuck buddies to me."

Vicki sputters, seemingly taken back slightly by your frank and snarky response. To be honest, you are a little surprised as well but that WAS your basis for thinking your status with Amelia is what it is. While she's distracted, you look down again. The longer you look at that one odd set of symbols, the more you get the feeling that there may be something you can do.

You feel a tingle of magic energy traveling down your leg (you are not sure how you know it is magical energy but you do) and start pooling into your foot. It does not feel like enough to break the circle but... maybe if you pushed or pulled with it, you could cause something to happen.

Of course, there is the very real chance you could also end up making your situation worse, since you have no idea what the "something" you would cause could end up being.
