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 sounds like you've been all over. [Traveling isn't the sort of thing King concerned himself with before he joined the Seven Deadly Sins. Even afterward, their travels always led them back to the Kingdom of Liones.] Makes me wonder what other worlds are like.

[winces]

Well... You're in a good position to find out, don't you think...?

[ even if their missions are... less than savory — it would be a lie to say it's not a new experience each time. ]

[agrizzlysin]

I guess you're right. Too bad we can't pick where we go though.

[winces]

[ she tips her head to the side, a finger to her chin. ]

What kind of world would you like to visit, if you had the choice?

[agrizzlysin]

[What kind of world...? That's either an impossibly loaded question or so obvious that explaining the answer in simple terms feels impossible. Maybe he hasn't given it enough thought after all.

King chuckles awkwardly, like he's admitting to something silly.]

A world that reminds me of someone I love, I think.

[winces]

[ silly or not, the romantic part of olivia's heart (read: all of it) cannot help but swell at that admission. she leans in a bit, eyes wide. ]

Do you mean Diane...?

[agrizzlysin]

Of course! [Puffy cheeks! Much shouting! No one is ever allowed to doubt that "someone I love" includes Diane.] But not just that kind of love. I have some friends I miss.

[winces]

Would you not just want to visit your own world again, then...?

[agrizzlysin]

I do want to go back but just doing that wouldn't help.

[Because his sister and his best friend are both dead, along with a fair portion of the fairies in the Fairy King Forest. Also, Diane has forgotten who he is, again. Ain't life grand?]

[winces]

Oh.

[ she seems to realize she has only brought upon unpleasant memories. she looks on apologetically. ]

Maybe... if you spoke to the people at ALASTAIR... maybe they could work something out for you?

[agrizzlysin]

I'd rather not rely on them, honestly. I think... [He sighs. He didn't mean to make her worry, certainly not about him.] All ALASTAIR can offer me is other worlds, not my own, so I want to see what those other worlds have to offer me.

[winces]

[ her eyes widen a bit at that. ]

...Would you ever consider leaving your world for another?

[agrizzlysin]

I'll go wherever Diane goes. I don't care where that is. But I have something I need to finish in Britannia first.
