VIDEO. UN: LOKI

[selfimage]

[ the sound of the wind storm hollows dully against the cave walls. Loki's squidge, Bacon, can half be seen crawling in the confines of his tacky green jacket and over his knee from where he sits, sometimes ducking and squeaking when a particularly large gust hits. to keep it from screaming, Loki offers his fingers absently, which the little squidge pulls on with its pudgy arms before ducking low again. ]

Hello there, it seems like we'll be waiting this out for some time considering the weather-type circumstances. While we're all rotting away, etcetera etcetera, I thought we could amuse ourselves with a game. A little bit of team bonding funtimes, so to say. [ he twists a dark nailed hand in the air, gesturing. ]

Soo—oo ... it's called Two Truths and a Lie. How do you play? Glad you asked, it's simple! Give two true statements about yourself and add a lie to the mix, shake it up then toss it out there and see if your team members know you well enough to spot the lie.

Usually this is done with copious amounts of alcohol, but we're lacking at the moment. [ pause. ] But—ah—you could always enjoy the satisfaction of being right. It's not like we're doing much else.

NOTE | Feel free to threadjack if that's your thing!! :****

Thirteen! Birthday, remember?

[heavyhitter]

Oh, right, nine. I was close. Anyway, point is, don't worry about it.

[twinpeak]

[ Palm, meet face. ]

I regret starting this conversation.

[heavyhitter]

That's probably for the best. You're gonna learn better eventually.

[twinpeak]

What, and never talk again?

[heavyhitter]

Ah, no, I guess not. I couldn't deprive you of me entirely, it'd be too cruel.

[twinpeak]

Okay, but try to use my actual age when you're around for once!

[heavyhitter]

I'll take it into consideration. What's my motivation?

[twinpeak]

Huh? C'mon, it's... the right thing to do?

[heavyhitter]

Not really selling me on it. Got anything better?

[twinpeak]

... Iiii'd be very, very grateful if you did it?

[heavyhitter]

Just wondering, has your gratitude ever been known to take any kinda material form?

[twinpeak]

Look, if I had anything to bribe you with, I'd already be considering it.

[heavyhitter]

Yeah, I figured that'd be too much to hope for. I'm gonna go with a solid maybe, then.

[twinpeak]

Well, it's... something, at least.

[heavyhitter]

[ a pause... ]

Hey, I never brought you anything for your birthday, did I?

[twinpeak]

[ No, but. ]

—Don't worry about it! It's been ages, anyway.

[heavyhitter]

Yeah, that just means I'm a bad friend, not that I should forget about it...

Maybe I'll be nice to you for a while and call that a birthday present.

[twinpeak]

[ Aw... that's actually touching. ]

... Heh, y'know what? I'll take it.

[heavyhitter]

Hey, guess what. Your hat's cute, it was a good pick for you.

[twinpeak]

—Wait, seriously? Is that genuine?

[heavyhitter]

Yeah! It's a good trademark thing. Like, y'know, my jacket, your hat. Where'd you get it, anyway?

[twinpeak]

O- oh. Thanks. [ Good trademark thing. He likes the sound of that. ] I picked it out from my uncle's gift shop after I lost my old hat.

[heavyhitter]

Oh, cute. Good place for it. Does he just sell shit with trees on it 'cuz it's like, a family thing, or what?

[twinpeak]

If only it were that honest. [ Though... trees.... look here, Ramir. ] Think more along the lines of a totally phony tourist trap with overpriced merchandise in the gift shop.
