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!! :****

[ What can she say? She's a people person. ]

Oh I know the feeling. Fish 'n chips aren't the same 'less they're from London! [ She's mad craving it now. ]

[whatshimadayou]

I never had it. What makes different than any other fried food or tempura?

[zipped]

Well first off there's chips with it. [ not skinny french fries but good ole' chips. ] Guess chippy probably isn't too different if you think of it that way though. [ Fried fish, fried shrimp, fried everything.. ]

Oh, I know! How about I'll treat ya if I ever find a place! In return, you do the same for me with ramen. Whaddya say?

[whatshimadayou]

[Hanzo hesitates. McCree and Genji certainly asked for similar things.]

Perhaps. We will see if we will be so fortunate.

...Jesse and Genji want me to join your Overwatch. I would hear your thoughts as well, Tracer.

[zipped]

Brilliant! [ c'mon ALASTAIR make it happen. ]

My thoughts? [ There's a curious tone to her voice before she hums out. Well... ] Why not? I always said myself, "the world could always use more heroes." I think you'd fit right in with everyone. [ Which she says with a good heart. After all, they aren't really the types to judge. Look at any of their pasts for example. They're quite the odd bunch overall. ] After Winston made recall I could already tell that it won't be the same Overwatch it was before, but I think we could be even better. And we could use your help too.

[ But, more importantly.. ] What do you think?

[whatshimadayou]

I am no hero.

[Tracer's thoughtfulness gives him pause. McCree and Genji have often told him what he could be, or what they thought he was--

No. That dishonors them. They have told him what they see in him, even if he cannot see it for himself. What he thinks...]

I don't know. [That is the honest answer.] I suppose it would be better than continuing what I was doing before. But I have not functioned on a team for... some while.

[zipped]

There's potential in everybody.

[ Even a young teen could potentially be a hero. Tracer imagines that both Jesse and Genji feel that Hanzo can potentially be a hero too. It shows enough in their current agents that prove anyone can become a hero. ]

We all gotta learn somewhere! Even the lot of us needed some practice together. [ Before she was just flying the skies, now she can work with people if given the chance or opportunity. Her style may seem solo but she's only able to be reckless and daring because she's got a team that has her back and are people she can trust and rely on. stares hard at pub teams ] I don't think that should stop you from trying.

[whatshimadayou]

[He doesn't state anything further regarding that particular topic.]

I will give it some thought.

The lot of you are placing an enormous amount of faith in me. [Which he still thinks is a mistake, but there's no point in repeating that topic either.]

[zipped]

It's probably a lot of pressure. [ Placing that much faith in him, that is. ] Sorry, love.

I'm glad you'll think about it though!

[whatshimadayou]

Not necessarily pressure. [Albeit he is a bit concerned at the amount of trust given to him.] I-- it is fine.

Hmm.

[zipped]

You sure? [ Just a tad worried, she wouldn't mind if he spoke his mind. ]

[whatshimadayou]

Yes.

It is just a difficult matter. I know I have been welcomed, but it is more than just that alone to make a decision on.

[zipped]

I get it. Well, if there's anything else- and I mean, anything! You can always talk to me, love.

It's the least I can do. [ Maybe she's being too forward, offering help as if they've been friends for ages, but.. in a place like this, she wants him to know he has people he can trust. ]

[whatshimadayou]

[The overwhelming friendliness is still odd to him. A month ago, he'd have snapped at Tracer for it. Now, he pauses, struggling to digest it and trying to figure out what to do with it.

Eventually, he says:] Thank you. For being considerate.
