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!! :****

(There is much she is confused about, which is not unexpected. She comes from a world where it is difficult to travel from house to house - much less world to world!)

No, I hail from a land called Westeros.

(She listens intently, intrigued by what he has to say.)

Are there any Werewolves amongst those chosen by ALASTAIR? I do not - and will not - judge them, but if they need special consideration, I would rather know before they transform.

(Everyone appreciates a heads up, right?)

The idea of a school is strange to me. I was taught all of my lessons at home with a Septa.

What did you learn specifically?

[evantuality]

I don't think we've got any therians here, no -- though, to be fair, I'm not even sure their cycle would work the same way off of Earth. They're tied to the lunar cycle specifically, which, well -- [He glances up, as if he could even see the night sky of the planet they're on from here] Different planet, different cycle. Same issue when we're back at Oska, too. But I'll let you know if I hear of any later.

[He offers her a grin for her last question. She's such a polite young woman, seeming older than she is from the way she speaks, and it puts him a little more at ease than he usually is around children.]

That's a question with a lot of meat to it. Uhh -- well, I mean, the basics, mathematics and the sciences like biology and chemistry and physics, but also the humanities, history, social studies, English, any number of miscellaneous electives... and then in the higher-level learning institutions like the one I'm at, theoretical and vocational studies specific to certain specialities. At home I'm in university for computer sciences, though that's pretty Earth-specific.

How does that compare to your home lessons?
