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!! :****

Are you so sure it can't be both?

I am well aware of what the word "troll" means to humans, although it has a very different meaning to us. But the act of trolling seems to have the same meaning, especially because I don't think there is anything known to either race as the act of humaning.

It's hard to say if it's coincidence or not, though. At least where I am from.

[He pauses, pushes his hair out of his face -- which is getting long after months without a haircut. After a moment of waffling, he laughs.]

I don't know whether to be more surprised that you already knew that or that you're not sure if it's coincidence. I mean, wouldn't it be? Does your universe have humans?

[timebender]

My universe? No, it did not have humans in it! The first time I met a human was... how to put this? In between universes, in a way!

[evantuality]

Was it here?

[The phrasing she uses makes him think not, but the description is so much like what Oska is...]

I mean, this is certainly the first time I've met a bona-fide troll.

[timebender]

Not here either, no! It was in some of the greater expanses of paradox space, actually.

[evantuality]

Paradox space?

[The name alone is enough to pique his interest hard.]

Now what on earth is that?

[timebender]

Oh, it's not anywhere on Earth!

[ Eh? Eh??? She's not going to follow that up until he acknowledges her clever quip. She's very proud of it. ]

[evantuality]

[Evan comes from a household of punners, and so he knows the traditional response to such shenaniganery.

He groans, drawn out, that beautiful mix of exasperated and grudgingly amused.]

Okay, I walked right into that one. Fair enough.

[timebender]

In all honesty though, it is a very, very long story, and I have a squidge who is telling me it is dinner time.

Come find me in Oska, though, and we can talk about it then!

aaand endcap?

[evantuality]

Oh, yeah, of course -- sure thing. I look forward to the tale!
