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!! :****

I am not—also, I taste terrible.

Really, really bad!

[ why is he arguing with a kid. ]

[twinpeak]

At least you have some meat on you. [ ... Probably. ] I mean, I'm just skin and bones. Not very appetizing, either.

[selfimage]

At least you'd provide a good crunch, I'm of Asgardian physique. I've got the whole triple density thing going for me, not even a dinosaur could chew through me.

You just need some garnish. Maybe some potatoes.

[twinpeak]

What, seriously? No way. I don't believe that! ... Also, we can pass on the potatoes—aaaand basically everything else, because I don't plan on becoming a dinosaur delicacy anytime soon.

[selfimage]

Really? You don't believe me?

[ he sounds over-dramatically shocked, Dipper!! WOW ]

[twinpeak]

I'll admit, I'm a little skeptical there...

[selfimage]

Perhaps if you paid better attention ...

[twinpeak]

—What?

[selfimage]

Ah—you can tell if you stand close. Well, some mortals can.

[twinpeak]

... Nope, you lost me, man.

[selfimage]

Fine, fine—[ you can almost hear the wave of his hand. ]—be that way.

Out of all the odd things that you've seen, this is the one that tosses you up? Really? Dinosaurs? This isn't the Savage Land.

[twinpeak]

Hey, I only said skeptical! No one and nothing I've come across yet has been that indestructible!

[ a beat. ]

But—I mean, I guess you could be telling the truth?

[selfimage]

I wouldn't be the god of mischief if I wasn't.

[ telling the truth or triple density??? the choice is yours. ]

[twinpeak]

[ Mystery. ]

... See, it's that kind of response that only gives me more reason to be suspicious.

Squint until you get wrinkles, it won't change anything.
