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, yeah? How'd you come out?

[flashbanging]

Pretty good, I'd say. Seeing as I'm still right here, talkin' with you.

[heavyhitter]

No way, you can't just leave it at I lived. I want details!

[flashbanging]

It ain't a thrillin' tale. I was a kid in a gang of adults. Desperate and angry. Hair-trigger temper, equipped with an actual trigger.

[heavyhitter]

So? What, was it your fault or something?

[flashbanging]

Don't see how it coulda been anyone else's.

[heavyhitter]

Did you kill anyone?

[flashbanging]

Yeah. And only some what deserved it.

[ Some were right murderous bastards, anyhow. But not everybody. Some people were just in the way. Wrong place, wrong time. ]

[heavyhitter]

[ oh no, mccree is officially more Hard and Badass than she is :( ]

Whatever, they were shooting at you. If you didn't, maybe you wouldn't've made it out so good, right?

[flashbanging]

[ IT IS NOT BADASS HE WAS A CHILD ]

Maybe. Wasn't always that way, though.

[heavyhitter]

What, so you kept doing it? God, what a shitty 15 year old.

[flashbanging]

[ He laughs. ]

Kinda came with bein' in a gang.

[heavyhitter]

No, I'm kidding. That's, uh— [ pause... but, eh, why not, the alcohol she's been sampling since she got back is making her feel slightly more chatty than usual ] ...Familiar. You get caught up.

[flashbanging]

You sure do.

[ He frowns, not liking that he might have this history in common with someone. ]

Supposin' you know a thing or two about it?

[heavyhitter]

Yeah, I guess.

[ Which is usually stuff she doesn't get into, least of all with a near stranger on the network. This is stupid. ]

I had a couple years there. Not really my scene now, though.

[flashbanging]

[ It's just Sharing Time, apparently. ]

Glad to hear it. I got plucked outta there myself, and good thing, too. Expect I'd be long dead by now, otherwise.

[heavyhitter]

Yeah. [ She's pretty sure she could have been killed a dozen times, but, y'know, she's young and immortal so she doesn't think about it too hard. And it's certainly not an issue anymore. ] Cheers to circumstance, I guess, huh.
