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!! :****

By a certain definition, haven't we all saved the world at least once here? I'll guess the second.

[beaming] Very good logic, but wrong answer.

[at least for him. he won't be able to say it with all irony after this, of course, but FOR NOW, he can openly mock himself.] I just arrived during this mission, so it's not true just yet.

Well, I'm sure you'll get the opportunity.

[predomination]

You think so? [behold the humility.] I might be better off to leave it to the professionals.

[sengetsu]

Unfortunately that isn't much of an option around here.

[predomination]

It's very "all hands on deck," isn't it? Even if some of the people dropped in this team have never done anything like this.

[sengetsu]

Quite. And our [he pauses, searching for an appropriate word before continuing-] supervisors don't seem intent on giving us much guidance most of the time.

[predomination]

That I don't particularly mind. I've never been very good at following orders.

[except those periods where he was very good at it, but those days are dead and buried.]

[sengetsu]

[Kojuro sighs a little.] Well, as long as you can work with everyone else. [because 'not good at following orders' = 'a pain in the ass to deal with', many times]

[predomination]

[he clicks his tongue lightly.] Don't mistake me. I've always been good at teamwork and strategizing with my peers. It's just complicated, unquestionable orders from on high can often cause problems. I prefer a much more simple group dynamic.

Here we know our mission, but as you say- we're largely left to our own devices about how we approach it.
