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!! :****

Oh good! You did figure out the lie.

[see? see? it's a lie because it's NOT simple. hahaha yep.]

[anti_altruisms]

You should try to be less obvious next time, Urahara-san.

[predomination]

Ah, but maybe that was the trick all along. Make it so obvious that everyone would suspect it couldn't be the lie.

But you saw through my feint, Archer-san.

[and so goes urahara's entire concept of socializing.]

[anti_altruisms]

[ Yes, well, his idea of socializing isn't that great either, so they're even on that one. ]

I'm afraid you're giving me far too much credit, Urahara-san.

Anyone can learn to eavesdrop.

[predomination]

I wouldn't have guessed you'd stoop to cheating to sort out a person's secrets.

[anti_altruisms]

It's called being observant, Urahara-san.

Although I'm afraid if I've given you the impression that I'm an honorable man, the truth isn't remotely that.

[predomination]

That I'm not so sure of. I don't think a dishonorable man would have bothered helping Rey and I in the swamp.

[anti_altruisms]

We're members of the same team.

It would've been poor form not to assist you, don't you think?

[predomination]

I guess you have a point there. I wasn't sure how seriously others take this "being part of the same team" thing, seeing as none of this was by choice.

[anti_altruisms]

None of this was by choice, but that's a unifying sentient, isn't it?

Saddled with the fate of a world or other living things, how many would simply walk away and refuse to cooperate?

[predomination]

Not many, but by the same admission, not many would put their own life at risk for the sake of strangers, if all they're doing is cooperating in order to get what they want.

You can't trust altruism will prevail in everyone.

[god i just made a username joke.]

[anti_altruisms]

Not everyone, no.

It appears to be working so far.

[ Zing! ]

[predomination]

I'm glad of that. Think of how much uglier all of this could be if it hadn't.
