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!! :****

Different from when I was alive. As for my age, I am close to eighty years old.

The lie is for you to decide.

[heavyhitter]

Oh my god, you're 80? If that one's true.

[ thoughtful pause... ]

You kiss pretty good for an 80 year old, though.

[respired]

I'm glad to hear that, Ramir.

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

But you have yet to make a decision.

[heavyhitter]

I'm gonna optimistically say the old one is a lie. Is it?

[respired]

You're correct. By my people's reckoning, I'm still a young man.

[heavyhitter]

Holy shit, thank god. It'd be weird if you were super old but still that hot.

[respired]

I am not so much older than you, I expect. Though I do not know your precise age.

[heavyhitter]

Uh, way younger than 80, thanks. I'm — [ a beat ] I just realized I have no idea how long I've been here. How the hell am I supposed to know if I've had a birthday by now or not?

[respired]

We have not been together so long.

[ but his conception of time is slightly different than average. the whole breadth and span of his time in ALASTAIR will be just a brief blink to him, ultimately. ]

And, relatively speaking, I am only just out of my adolescence.

[heavyhitter]

Okay, well, same, either way.

Hey, do you, like... still age?

[respired]

I do not. I will remain as I am until I'm granted true death.

[heavyhitter]

Oh. [ well that's super depressing. ] At least you don't have to worry about going bald, right?

[respired]

Not unless someone cuts my hair.

[ It doesn't grow back. ]

[heavyhitter]

Your long, pretty locks? Now that would be a cardinal fucking sin.

[respired]

I don't know about 'pretty'. But I would be cross if someone were to take scissors to them.

[heavyhitter]

Uh, I know about pretty. Your hair's pretty. And I'd be more than cross on your behalf.

[respired]

I'm pleased to know that I can count on you to defend the honor of my hair.
