VIDEO. UN: LOKI
[ 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!! :****

More adaptable...yeah, that's what a friend of mine tells me too. He also tried to explain it with a bunch of medical terms but, I've forgotten pretty much all of that. Doesn't really matter anyway, I figure. It just sort of happened.
[There's really no use trying to think too hard on it. All he knows is he can't get rid of it. Shizuo settles back against the wall.] Mm, that kind of injury definitely wasn't fun. Used to hurt all the time. Haven't had anything like that happen again in a few years now, at least...I don't really break any bones anymore.
You kind of sound like you're talking from experience, though. How many bones was it for you, ah? [He's...sort of joking....but no, maybe he's a little curious too, sue him.]
no subject
[That many bones breaking had to be incredibly painful, on top of being debilitating. The fact that Shizuo was able to fully recover from that, and even become stronger, is remarkable.
He's never heard of humans with that capability, outside the Quinx]
In my case...I can't say I ever had a count. My body heals quickly, but I've had some pretty extensive injuries in the past, so I can sort of relate.
[But he doesn't forget the big difference is that he heals quite swiftly compared to a human. Rather like Shizuo seems to be though, he does become stronger for it]
no subject
[He tilts his head again, the other way--more of his own volition this time.]
Was it accidental stuff...or did you used to get into a lot of fights too? [Not that Haise really strikes him as a sort of person to pick fights...]
no subject
[Real smooth, Haise. Having handled that question, he moves right along]
My work often involves combat, so that's where I tend to get injuries.
no subject
So Haise moves along and Shizuo is content to do the same--though this answer earns a blink of surprise.]
Ah, combat... [Shizuo peers at the feed properly now, a small and thoughtful frown falling into place. Haise had said he was from Tokyo as well--modern Tokyo, Shizuo's been assuming. So, a line of work like that...] Were you a cop back home? Or, some sort of security thing...? [This is all he can think of, immediately off the top of his head.]
no subject
[Police are the easiest comparison, and so when people make the suggestion, Haise always finds himself content to roll right along with it. The key difference was that they policed ghouls and were authorized to use deadly force, of course, not that he'd ever been particularly fond of applying it.
Anytime he could spare a life, Haise vastly prefers to]
There's a regular police force though, so we're more...specialized, you could say.
no subject
[Bottom in seniors still makes you the top of everyone else below that, right? It's still surprising, but Shizuo supposes he can sort of see it now. Haise does seem to have the general composed air of somebody used to dealing with a lot of responsibility with things, even if he doesn't exactly come off like a policeman or something necessarily...
But apparently it's not quite the same thing anyway, huh.]
Specialized, though? Like, trained to handle just one kind of thing, right? Ah... [This also sounds like pretty high-tier stuff??] Can you talk about what you're specialized for, or is that a classified sort of thing...
no subject
[And knowing that there are different versions of the same world, this is the sort of thing he knows will determine whether he and Shizuo know the same Tokyo. They might or might not, based on what they've discussed so far...
That reality won't be changed by whether he clarifies though]
We specifically handle ghouls, a predatory species that preys on humans.
no subject
'Ghouls'? Ah, I don't think I've heard anything about that sort of thing in Ikebukuro at least. [Sure, there's been stuff like the Slasher incident a bit ago, but even then...'preys on humans'? That's pretty...something, now isn't it? Shizuo frowns properly now.] Which ward's this in, is it a lot of them?
no subject
Though they can still relate, and Haise can hope that means Shizuo's version is a more peaceful place]
They're found throughout Tokyo, in different concentrations. Where be organization I belong to has stronger influence, their numbers are lesser — but it fluctuates with time.
no subject
Altogether they might as well be the same Tokyo's anyway, as far as he's concerned--and so Shizuo opts to treat this news as such.]
Throughout, seriously? Damn, then that's a pretty big spread... [A faint, sympathetic sort of grimace.] Well, like I said, I don't think I've heard of them. But now I might as well keep an eye out whenever it is I get back home, so I'll keep that in mind...and it sounds like you guys really have your work cut out, in that case. ...Uh, it's good you haven't been eaten yet or anything...
no subject
In Cochlea, incarcerated ghouls were fed a "stew" made of ghouls that had been done away with, in point of fact]
Ah, I'd put up quite a fight if the attempt was made, I can assure you...
[It's what he's trained for, not to mention being a half-ghoul himself]
Most predation cases occur at night or in instances where an individual is lured out alone. Just to be safe, it's good to keep those things in mind.
no subject
Haise responds before he can attempt something towards an awkward apology, though, and so in the end it doesn't really matter. Especially with an assurance like that, ah...]
Right...guess you're the expert on these guys anyway, so you'd be the most prepared out of pretty much anyone else, huh?
[It's a mildly dry response in turn, but he thinks he can understand the gist there. And the advisory that follows gets another slow nod too.]
Ah, this kind of shit always seems to really like happening at night, doesn't it? Underhanded bastards, by the sound of it... [Sneaking around and messing around with people like that...but well, not much to do about that.] Not exactly like people ought to wander around town alone if they can't take care of themselves to start with, too. But I guess not everybody's got common sense like that...thanks for the advice, anyway.
no subject
If he were human, he wouldn't have to live with the constant, nagging fear of becoming useless and being discarded. That, he'd suppose, isn't the normal ghoul experience, but he has the same technical knowledge as any other Investigator at his level, if not more.
He does his best to smooth out his expression into something more placid, aware after a delay that he must've come off more pensive than he'd meant to be]
It's the least I can do. We endeavor to keep everyone safe, but you'd be surprised how many people don't exercise caution and end up targeted as a result. Sometimes...you'd never imagine that you were dealing with a ghoul.
[Ironic for two reasons, though Haise is only aware of one.
As for the other...he is where he is because Ken Kaneki never imagined a cute girl who liked the same books as him was a ghoul]
