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.

NOTE | Feel free to threadjack if that's your thing!! :****

[ This desert rat has her knees drawn up and her squidge sitting in her lap as she responds, dirt smeared over her face from staying out in the storm too long to persuade people into waiting it out. ]

That's a weird game, isn't it? Most of us don't know each other at all. How could we possibly know the difference?

Alright. [ She'll try anything once, ok. As long as it's not stupid. This is harmless, ergo ...

She takes a long minute to think because she wants to brainstorm ALL OF THEM so it's not super obvious which has the makings of a lie because she had to think harder to invent it.
]

I taught myself to fly. [ Fly instead of pilot, and not mentioning spaceships—that makes it sound ridiculous and false, right??? Albeit, it's pretty intense even without the deliberate ambiguity, so... ] My name means "rat" in teedo. And I've never seen an ocean.

You have to admit, there are worse ways to start talking to others here. [This is much less stressful than them all arguing about fighting gods, after all.]

Your name doesn't mean 'rat', does it? That seems cruel.

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-07-28 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs, shaking her head. ]

No. "Rey isn't anything like what teedo sounds like. It doesn't mean anything to them at all. [ She ends with a smile. ] Hmm. I guess it is a good way, but it's hard, thinking of convincing lies. I guess not everyone would have that problem.
strikingtwice: (can't be serious all the time)

[personal profile] strikingtwice 2016-07-29 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I did that much better myself. But it's interesting seeing what people come up with and knowing that at least two of them are true can lead to some interesting conversations as well.

Does that mean you've really never seen an ocean?

Inference from context! Or wild mass guessing, whatever your preference. It is a game, after all.

At least it's not Truth or Dare. That game would have a very finite lifespan before some poor soul got dared to streak through the storm that's happening out there, and we'd all lose.
forcevisions: (that i probably shouldn't)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-07-28 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
What's truth or dare? [ it seems better to ask outright than to admit "I've never played games like these before at all." ]

[personal profile] evantuality 2016-07-28 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...you've never... no, you know what, that makes sense, I suppose not even everyone from Earth has been subjected to that prepubescent torture ritual.

Um, it's basically that. A bunch of people sit around and take turns asking one another 'truth or dare': the person asked picks one, and the person asking then gets to either tell them to do something -- usually something wicked stupid -- or gets to ask them a question they're obliged to answer.

It's a terrible game, you really don't win either way.
forcevisions: (the kids aren't all right)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-07-28 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
If it's always so torturous—though, I'm not sure I understand why haven't to answer a question is so bad—then why do people play it? That sounds like a terrible game.

You've never seen the ocean?

[ Does that mean she isn't the most sheltered one here? ]

What would you like to know about it?
forcevisions: (late at night)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-07-29 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ The problem with true ignorance is trying to find out what to ask. ]

I hardly know. Can you see all the way to the bottom? Do people on planets with oceans never go thirsty? Does anything grow in it?
adlantisag: (» 40)

[personal profile] adlantisag 2016-07-29 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
The sunlight does not reach so far into the water. It would take many hours to find the bottom, though by then one might be crushed by the weight of the water itself. It is so vast that it leeches from the earth, and thereby becomes salty and unfit to drink. You can drink, and drink, and drink and you will only find yourself more parched than you began.

Some plants grow in it, close to the surface. Kelp and sea-weed, reaching for the sun in long vines. But the deeper you go, the less life you will find but for that you would not wish to. Sharks, whales, squid, and many kinds of fish all call it home.

[ She sounds and looks fond, reminiscing on her home. She's also partly thinking of Ryba, Nalawi's ill-fated sea goddess; what a messy meeting that had been. ]
forcevisions: (more than i could chew)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2016-07-29 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ No offense, Kida, but the ocean sounds terrifying now that you describe it that way. Vast, dark, the kind of thing that could swallow you whole, and somehow Rey still found herself fascinated by it. ]

But another spoke to me of swimming in it. Surely it can't be all fathomless and terrifying and deadly. And you as well—it sounds as if you find it very beautiful. What do you like best about it?
