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!! :****

[heavyhitter]

Oh, shit. I really hope it's not the arm thing. Is it the arm thing?

[iomnic]

It is not the arm thing.

[heavyhitter]

Yeah, nice! Can I see that?

[iomnic]

Do you not wish to ...

[ Continue with the game? She probably doesn't even care about it anymore. ]

... Yes, I suppose you can. But it will be difficult to show over the communicator.

[heavyhitter]

Don't worry about it, I'm headed back cavewards to get drunk. You can show me then!

[iomnic]

[ Now, if he was someone more strict, a more proper monk perhaps, he would look down upon her desire to "get drunk." However. This is Zenyatta. Too Chill. Instead: ]

I thought there was no alcohol?

[ As Loki had said such. Unless she can get drunk on like, air or something. ]

[heavyhitter]

There's never no alcohol, trust me. Loki didn't have enough faith in that.

[iomnic]

I see. I am sure he will thank you, for sharing.

[ Because you will be SHARING, RIGHT? ]

[heavyhitter]

Oh yeah, he will. Hey, can you drink?

[iomnic]

I cannot drink human alcohol, no.

[heavyhitter]

Aw, man! Talk about a fucking tragedy. Can you get drunk any other way?

[iomnic]

I feel as if I may regret answering this truthfully.

[heavyhitter]

We're playing two truths and a lie, that means you gotta. [ no they're not anymore, and no it doesnt ]

1/2

[iomnic]

We are, aren't we?

[iomnic]

One, I cannot "get drunk" in any manner.

Two, I can drink a specific type of oil, made for omnics.

Three, I choose not to imbibe.

[heavyhitter]

[ ... godammit. ok fine, give her a second... ]

...Gotta be the the first one, or else it doesn't work. [ HEAVY SIGH] Party pooper.

[iomnic]

[ Yeah, well he only just thought it up on the fly!! ]

I apologize. I know I am not very ... "fun."

[heavyhitter]

It's okay. Maybe you'll see how much fun I'm having, get jealous, and change your mind.

[iomnic]

There is a distinct possibility that may work. Please have as great a time as you can.

[ Nevermind that they don't have said oil here, and even if they did, he wouldn't drink it. But he does want Ramir to have a good time, so. ]

[heavyhitter]

Yeah, no sweat, will do.

So why don't you imbibe, anyway?

[iomnic]

It was a rule at the monastery. I suppose, since I no longer live there, I am not bound to their rules...

But I do not think it would be a good idea to start now.

[heavyhitter]

Why not? Good time for it. Friends fucking around, nowhere to be...

... Though I guess it'd be tough to get your hands on whatever you use instead of actual booze.

[iomnic]

Human alcohol would be potentially harmful at best, and explosive at worst.

[ Do you want him to blow up, Ramir? Because that's how you make an omnic blow up. ]

[heavyhitter]

Whoa, seriously? How explosive?

[ it's possible ]

[iomnic]

[ dont look fucking excited...... ]

Potentially very.
