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!! :****

It was a rule at the monastery. I suppose, since I no longer live there, I am not bound to their rules...

But I do not think it would be a good idea to start now.

[heavyhitter]

Why not? Good time for it. Friends fucking around, nowhere to be...

... Though I guess it'd be tough to get your hands on whatever you use instead of actual booze.

[iomnic]

Human alcohol would be potentially harmful at best, and explosive at worst.

[ Do you want him to blow up, Ramir? Because that's how you make an omnic blow up. ]

[heavyhitter]

Whoa, seriously? How explosive?

[ it's possible ]

[iomnic]

[ dont look fucking excited...... ]

Potentially very.

[heavyhitter]

Alright, cool. Noted. [ you know, just in case she ever needs to blow up a friend ]

Anyway, when we're back in Oska, I bet we could dig up some omnic-booze. You know, for just in case.

[iomnic]

[Please do not blow up the robot unless you want a very angry cyborg.]

If I am the first omnic here, then how would it possibly already be here?

[heavyhitter]

You didn't get a chance to see the kitchen, did you?

[iomnic]

I did not.

But I know most humans do not keep that kind of oil in their kitchen.

[heavyhitter]

The kitchen isn't run by humans. I think the kitchen's just run by the kitchen.

I don't edit because it's FUN, ZEE

[iomnic]

... An automated kitchen?

There may be a chance, then.

Which is not to say I will drink it, but it would be interesting to know if this kitchen is capable of reproducing it.

have you considered: typoing less

[heavyhitter]

How're you gonna know if it's the right thing if you don't drink it?

Wow no I haven't this is going to open up so many new doors for me

[iomnic]

[She's got him there.]

How will I know it is right if I have never drank before?

here to help :)

[heavyhitter]

[ shit, and he's got her right back ]

...Well. I guess you'd know if it worked, huh?

😬😬😬

[iomnic]

... I would probably experience inebriation, yes.

[heavyhitter]

Can't see much wrong with that plan! You're on, it's a date.

[iomnic]

Ah- I did not-

[no, chill out zenny-]

You are very determined.

[heavyhitter]

Yep, that's what they tell me.

[ a beat, and... is this really necessary.... ugh better to be clear she supposes: ] —Also, okay, not a real date. It's gonna be a friend date.

[iomnic]

[That does clarify things a bit but.]

I have never been on either.

[You know. Monk.]

... but I think it will be a fun experience.

[heavyhitter]

It will! And then later maybe we'll find you a good date-date candidate and that'll be even better.

[iomnic]

[why does she want to hook him up so bad!!!]

That... will not be necessary.

[heavyhitter]

Yeah, obviously, but it'll be fun.

[iomnic]

[Another pause.]

I am not ... the dating type.

["Romantic" is never a word he'd use to describe himself. Or "desirable." Usually you are at least one of those things if you're going to go on a date.]

[heavyhitter]

Don't worry about it, that won't be a problem. But pocket that for now, we got loads of time between then and now.

[iomnic]

... Yes, alright.
