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!! :****

Well, really. Most games have some aspect of trickery or deception, to the general ends of entertainment.

There's some evolutionary theory about all play at core being about honing one's skills, though that's rarely the rationale you'd hear outright.

[That almost makes sense to him. There's a brief noise of consideration before he continues.]

I suppose for the average galactic citizen, that might be true. But to attempt to enact deception against those who are Force-sensitive would be a fool's errand.

[Most of the time.]

[Evan scoffs. This guy reminds him of certain elements back home, and while one doesn't argue with a dragon about who is superior, the young man's rather gotten used to other ways to sidestep admittedly well-deserved arrogances.]

I bet you don't play Truth or Dare much, either.
