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!! :****

So was I wrong? What's a firefight anyway if not fighting someone using fire?

[flashbanging]

Didn't say that.

[ He makes his thumb and forefinger into the shape of a gun. ]

Bullets, hombre.

[strikingtwice]

[Well that's sure an interesting shape with his hand there. Meallan looks at it quizzically for a moment before meeting McCree's gaze again.]

And what are they?

[flashbanging]

[ jesus christ ]

Ammunition for a gun.

[ He draws Peacekeeper from its holster and holds it up, all gleaming and glowing. ]

It's a weapon. Shoots people, and whatever else. Nothin' like it where you come from?

[strikingtwice]

Oh! [Now Meallan peers closer, openly curious to actually see this 'gun' he's heard about before.]

Nothing like that no. I've heard someone else mention using one but they didn't have theirs. But they're right, it doesn't look anything like a crossbow. Where's the string?

[flashbanging]

Ain't no string, darlin'. It's all mechanical.

[ He pops out the barrel, spins it 'round once. ]

I'll show you, sometime. Maybe when we're back at base.

[strikingtwice]

I'd like that actually. Someone else told me a little about them once before but I've never seen one in action before. It's hard to imagine how it's different from a crossbow. Being able to see and touch it would be helpful.

[flashbanging]

Like the difference between lightnin' and a lightnin' bug, rest assured.

[strikingtwice]

Oh if there's lightning involved, then I definitely want to see. But either way it sounds impressive.

[flashbanging]

Wha--

[ He chuckles. ]

Naw, darlin'. Just a figure of speech. But you might still have to cover your ears.

[ He makes a gun with his fingers, and then a 'bang' motion. ]

Just you wait.
