VIDEO. UN: LOKI

[ 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.

Favorite myths, you mean? Ah, well, I'm from Ireland, so I guess I'm more biased towards Celtic myths, but I have to say, I have a fondness for American folktales as well. There's a certain style to them that you really don't see anywhere else.

Is that so...? I'll have to see if I can find any books on them, I'm less familiar with those mythologies.

Oh, there isn't a lot of them, but they're out there. Ah, if there were a good library nearby, I'd definitely show you. Maybe I can ask ALASTAIR to bring a good encyclopedia of such tales to me...they could have something like that!

What mythologies are you familiar with?

[personal profile] ex_adept136 2016-08-10 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Japanese primarily, but also Greco-Roman for their prevalence in western literature. I know bits and pieces here and there otherwise, but that knowledge is far from extensive.

Does ALASTAIR take requests for literature?
