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!! :****

[A pause. It'd be strange to announce he doesn't remember, to someone he's only just met]

I'm self-taught. When I was in training, I found I really enjoyed cooking for others.

[strictdiscipline]

[She hears that pause, but it means little to her. What does grab her attention is—]

—Training? For what?

[ex_adept136]

I'm an investigator, so I went through training before I could act as a field operative.

[More specifically a ghoul investigator, but no need to get too detailed, right?]

[strictdiscipline]

[That's a title she can respect....though maybe without the ghoul bit.]

Were there many late nights when you needed to cook?

[ex_adept136]

Usually not, unless a mission ran long. But dinner time after work was my time to shine.

[Said with more enthusiasm than strict pride, because he really does enjoy it that much]

The members of my squad all have different tastes, but that just came down to finding out what they had in common.

[strictdiscipline]

[She's aware enough to catch that hint of enthusiasm. It's cute.]

It sounds like the members of your squad are quite close with one another.

[If they're eating meals together.]

[ex_adept136]

I think it took a while for them to become a cohesive team, but I like to think they get along well, now.

[For which he can only be happy. Urie was the most resistant, but he feels that he can see a difference there too]

[strictdiscipline]

[It sounds like any other team she's ever seen and been a part of. She hesitates before asking her next question, still bound slightly by her desire not to overstep.]

Do you miss them?

[ex_adept136]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't...they're pretty much my world.

[And, so far as he's concerned, his family.

He doesn't know much of his past, but in the present, he had his squad and his superiors]

But I'm sure we've all got people we miss.

[strictdiscipline]

[She can understand that; she feels the same way about her own team, after all. And even though she doesn't say as much aloud, her answer's evident enough in her brief downward slant of her gaze and the smile touching her lips.

Only a moment's spared for sentiment before she returns her attention back to Haise.]

I hope you get to see them again soon.

[ex_adept136]

[Haise takes note of her expression, though he avoids making his attention pointed. For some those sentiments are a quiet matter, and he can understand that. Whether in word, deed, or both, how they feel comes through one way or another]

I'll have quite the story to tell when I do... And I hope you'll see your associates soon as well.

[He gets the feeling, even from that quiet moment, that they're alike in this]
