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!! :****

Which one's your guess~? Hey, are you playin', too?

[boneafide]

... Number one.

I could! What would I lie about that people could believe...

[perma_banned]

Wrong~! [YET, Ban was confident that their friend status was still secure. Even if he literally upturned the game's age rating and potentially closed a court case.]

It's your turn, now. You better fool me good, Papyrus ♪.

[boneafide]

Wait, I didn't think about any for me yet!! I'm guessing two is a lie, now?!

[perma_banned]

You already lost~! It wouldn't be fun if you got any second chances!!

C'mon, I'll give you a chance to think of something good ♪.

[boneafide]

You're the worst at games!!

[ Sans would usually let him win!! What is this losing bullshit?? ]

If I think of three things, then I get my second chance!

[perma_banned]

[Howling with laughter, Ban essentially confirmed he got just as much a kick out of seeing Papyrus happy as he did when he was frustrated.

Really, Papyrus in general was a 5/5 stars for Ban.]

Fiiiine! But, you don't get points if you win on the second guess ♪.

[boneafide]

How many points do I need to win?!

[perma_banned]

[Flatly, Ban looked to Papyrus and offered his most serious tone--]

Fifty.

[boneafide]

[ He buys it. ]

And how many do I have right now?!

[perma_banned]

[How many points did friendship earn...?

Ban thought on it.]

Forty-fiiiive~.

[boneafide]

I have that many?!

[ He was expecting Ban to say zero, honestly. ]

Alright!! I'll do what I need to to get those five points!! What do I have to do!!

[perma_banned]

You'll earn a bonus point if you take your loss and try harder on the next round ♪.

[Bribery to instill a more competitive sense?

Ban could try that out.]

[boneafide]

... Okay! You've talked me into it! I'm ready for the next round!

[perma_banned]

[Woo! Ban waved his hand dismissively, deciding to move forward--]

Second one was the liiiie~. Now, take your time and think of some good ones!

[boneafide]

Alright. Um. Hm. I...

I am a skeleton!!

[FUCK! FUCK HE ALREADY FUCKED IT UP, OF COURSE HE'S A SKELETON okay well that's one truth.]

... I-I love conveyor belts!!

And... I once put limes in my eyesockets and it really hurt!!

[perma_banned]

Ah?

[Ban blinked slowly. The last two were genuinely good ones to use as examples. The skeleton bit was easy enough but really--Papyrus may have accidentally stumped Ban.]

Huh.

[He looked as if he were thinking pretty hard about both.

Papyrus COULD feel pain. Could limes irritate him? What the hell was a conveyor belt?]

[boneafide]

... Have I done it?? Are you stumped by the Great Papyrus?!

[perma_banned]

At least you came up with a good set right at the staaart~. You might earn some decent points straight away!

Alright, let's say--it's a lie that you love conveyor belts!

[He picked that one mostly because the idea of Papyrus shoving lemons in his eye sockets, for whatever reason, had a distinct charm to it.

It was funny as all get-out.]

[boneafide]

Y... You're right!!

I thought maybe I had won, this time...

[perma_banned]

Kahaha! Don't worry about it! I totally just guessed. Wanna keep playin'?

[Actually, he WANTED the lime thing to be true.]

[boneafide]

I think I'm going to lose more points than get them if I keep losing!!

[perma_banned]

You're not gonna lose 'eeeem. That's just a motivator~.

[Ban clapped his hands together.]

So, here's mine.

I love the color red!

I steal strength from my allies to have fun during battles!

I used to have a pet fox!

[boneafide]

Oh!! That's easy! The lie's the last one!

[Is Ban going easy on him now???]

[perma_banned]

[Yes. For a bit. Letting Papyrus get to 49 points and then amping up the difficulty would be his favorite sort of gamble.]

Oh~? I thought that one would be a little tougher ♪. Even so, that's another point!
