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!! :****

Who says we're lacking, huh?

[selfimage]

Only if you don't care to share. And caring is sharing.

[ c'mon, ramir. ]

[heavyhitter]

Come on, do I actually strike you as someone who's gonna keep all that shit to herself? I'm super generous.

[selfimage]

Then let's get a real game of Two Truths and a Lie going.

[ as in, let's teach the squidges to drink!!! Bacon is totally rolling over his knees and making noises. ]

[heavyhitter]

You're on. [ A beat. ] As soon as I get over there, anyway.

[selfimage]

I'm sure a little sandstorm won't stop you—I take it you found shelter.

[heavyhitter]

Nah, I've been seeing how far I can jump. But I'm pretty sure I'm not too far off, so I'll be there soon.

[selfimage]

Ah—good. I feel like I may hit critical mass of useless facts about our fellow team members. I'll need something fairly soon because there's a rather gross Lokisplosion in the future.

[heavyhitter]

I'm just gonna point out you totally brought all this on yourself.

[evantuality]

Well, if you're not lacking, think of the poor, sober rest of us.

[heavyhitter]

The catch is you gotta wait until I get back. [ because someone is still out playing in the tornado ]

[evantuality]

The hell are you finding booze out there in a tornado?! Did it throw you all the way back to the winefruit?!

If so you owe me at least five. Your squidge has been pitching a fit on and off for hours.

[heavyhitter]

I'm not finding it — actually it's not even with me. [ It's in the pack she would've made him take, too. ] But you can't crack it open until I'm back!

[evantuality]

I certainly won't crack it open till you're back.

Because when you are back you're getting Imber and your guy and both the packs and then I am taking a night off.

And I am not generally one to overindulge but if that night off involves alcohol, for once I feel it's warranted.

[he may be having a bit of A Time of things.]

[heavyhitter]

Oh my god, what? Both? Come on! What about me says I'm responsible enough for that?

[evantuality]

At this point? Pretty much nothing, but I'm at the end of my wits and I kind of want you to feel my pain, here.

[He's only about sixty percent joking here, Ramir.]

Christ, what made you think I could handle two? Do I seem particularly paternal?!

[heavyhitter]

You worry enough for it. Come on, are you telling me you're not responsible? I wouldn't buy it.

[twinpeak]

How about we keep it lacking for the time being.

[heavyhitter]

Don't worry, the shorter members of Team Audentes aren't allowed to have any. You get... I dunno, I bet someone around here's got sippycups.

[twinpeak]

—What? I'm not touching a sippycup.

[heavyhitter]

Why not? You're like 10, right? It's fine.

[twinpeak]

Thirteen! Birthday, remember?

[heavyhitter]

Oh, right, nine. I was close. Anyway, point is, don't worry about it.

[twinpeak]

[ Palm, meet face. ]

I regret starting this conversation.

[heavyhitter]

That's probably for the best. You're gonna learn better eventually.
