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!! :****

Probably, it's a sort of joke...his sense of humor is kind of like that. [Kasuka rarely explains the decisions he makes in life with much detail, but Shizuo's gotten pretty good at extrapolating anyway. The remark is worded in an exasperated sort of way, but at the same time there's a brief hint of fondness creeping into his tone anyhow.] Since the name sort of matches up to those old idiom things..."only I am holy" and all that, you know?

[He waves a hand in an absent gesture to emphasize the idiom in question, before dropping it with a scoff that's more like a laugh.]

And like I said, it's a tiny cat. But I guess in that sort of way it's almost fitting too. I don't think I'd be able to put that much thought into a pet's name though, personally...

[An idiom... Haise supposes that would make sense of such a very long name. Ironic to have it attributed to such a little cat, but maybe irony was part of the point too. It's interesting to think on; names and reasons behind them are as diverse as the individual]

He must have an interesting way of thinking.

[It makes him wonder what the members of his squad would want to name a cat, and whether they'd be able to agree on anything. Perhaps one day he might find out]

Sometimes, I think names are intuitive. Some things feel right, and others might not.

[Says the man who was told to pick kanji he liked for his own given name...]
