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!! :****

[ okay but guess who'd fall for ALL OF THESE...

still, he's got to tell one lie, according to the rules of the game, and so she struggles to recall what she remembers of him, considering he's got a pretty good pokerface...







she remembers him wanting, rather desperately, to get away from the lava. ]

Is it the first one?!

[dbag]

Okay, seriously, why does everyone think it's that one? I mean, maybe it is. But I could have done that, is the point.

[winces]

Perhaps... I just don't think you did.

[ don't make her mention you running away last time, rhys. it'll be embarrassing for everyone involved and no one needs that... ]

[dbag]

Wow, okay, well. [ He would've fessed up to it being a lie if she hadn't said that, but now he's offended!! ] I totally did, so there. It's one hundred percent true. Zero percent false.

[winces]

[ well not only is olivia a bad liar, she is also incredibly gullible at times and so SHE LOOKS INCREDIBLY GUILTY for having thought so little of him. perhaps he just didn't like lava! ]

Oh gosh, oh no, I'm so sorry...! That was really brave of you!

[dbag]

[ OLIVIA... he almost feels guilty about her actually believing it. ]

Oh, it's okay. It was just the right thing to do; I don't like to say it was bravery or heroism... but you can.

[winces]

[ but that would require rhys to have actual feelings... ]

I'm sure the bunnies were very grateful!

But if that's the truth... then which one is the lie?

[dbag]

Uhhh, which one do you think it is?

[ He'll probably be offended either way tbh!!! >:( ]

[winces]

Um... But I already told you which one I thought it was?

[ DID SHE NOT PLAY THE GAME RIGHT... ]

[dbag]

Well. Yeah. But you got it wrong. [ No, she didn't. ] And, I mean, I could tell you the answer, but, uh. I'm just wondering what your second choice would be.

[ God, he didn't think this through, he can't just go, "KIDDING, THEY'RE ALL TRUE BECAUSE I'M GREAT."

Or can he. ]

[winces]

If I tell you my second choice, will you tell me what the correct answer is?

[ he seems quite hesitant to say, after all... she'd just like to be sure... ]

[dbag]

...Yyyeah, sure? [ Why is this a question, we just don't know. ]

[winces]

[ she actually looks pretty dubious... but FOR THE GAME.. ]

The second one?

[dbag]

...Yyyyyyyyyes, that is— that's correct, I definitely do have a collection of, like, fifteen thousand love letters from pretty girls.

[winces]

I assume you'd just rounded up... It would have been hard to count every single one of them, wouldn't it?
