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!! :****

[How many points did friendship earn...?

Ban thought on it.]

Forty-fiiiive~.

[boneafide]

I have that many?!

[ He was expecting Ban to say zero, honestly. ]

Alright!! I'll do what I need to to get those five points!! What do I have to do!!

[perma_banned]

You'll earn a bonus point if you take your loss and try harder on the next round ♪.

[Bribery to instill a more competitive sense?

Ban could try that out.]

[boneafide]

... Okay! You've talked me into it! I'm ready for the next round!

[perma_banned]

[Woo! Ban waved his hand dismissively, deciding to move forward--]

Second one was the liiiie~. Now, take your time and think of some good ones!

[boneafide]

Alright. Um. Hm. I...

I am a skeleton!!

[FUCK! FUCK HE ALREADY FUCKED IT UP, OF COURSE HE'S A SKELETON okay well that's one truth.]

... I-I love conveyor belts!!

And... I once put limes in my eyesockets and it really hurt!!

[perma_banned]

Ah?

[Ban blinked slowly. The last two were genuinely good ones to use as examples. The skeleton bit was easy enough but really--Papyrus may have accidentally stumped Ban.]

Huh.

[He looked as if he were thinking pretty hard about both.

Papyrus COULD feel pain. Could limes irritate him? What the hell was a conveyor belt?]

[boneafide]

... Have I done it?? Are you stumped by the Great Papyrus?!

[perma_banned]

At least you came up with a good set right at the staaart~. You might earn some decent points straight away!

Alright, let's say--it's a lie that you love conveyor belts!

[He picked that one mostly because the idea of Papyrus shoving lemons in his eye sockets, for whatever reason, had a distinct charm to it.

It was funny as all get-out.]

[boneafide]

Y... You're right!!

I thought maybe I had won, this time...

[perma_banned]

Kahaha! Don't worry about it! I totally just guessed. Wanna keep playin'?

[Actually, he WANTED the lime thing to be true.]

[boneafide]

I think I'm going to lose more points than get them if I keep losing!!

[perma_banned]

You're not gonna lose 'eeeem. That's just a motivator~.

[Ban clapped his hands together.]

So, here's mine.

I love the color red!

I steal strength from my allies to have fun during battles!

I used to have a pet fox!

[boneafide]

Oh!! That's easy! The lie's the last one!

[Is Ban going easy on him now???]

[perma_banned]

[Yes. For a bit. Letting Papyrus get to 49 points and then amping up the difficulty would be his favorite sort of gamble.]

Oh~? I thought that one would be a little tougher ♪. Even so, that's another point!

[boneafide]

[Ban's the rudest.]

Well, you told me you ate most of the animals you came across so I assumed you wouldn't have a pet!

[HE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING YOU TELL HIM ABOUT YOURSELF, BAN. Or he tries to, at least.]

I guess it's my turn again...

One, I have a flower friend in the Underground! Two, I used to follow the Underground's Royal Scientist on the Undernet! Three, I hate using the phone!

[perma_banned]

[Ban lifted a brow at that. Papyrus did make mention of a lot of things in his own personal life and had never gotten too expansive. He remembered vague mention of the Undernet in regards to Mettaton, the metal guy, but he never bothered asking what it was.

So, as to avoid losing immediately, Ban asked--]

What's a 'phone' and 'Undernet'? If you're makin' up words, I'm gonna spank ya'.

[boneafide]

I'm not making up words! A phone is a thing you talk to people on, like our communicators, but just with sound and words. The Undernet is like the Network! So, I could use my phone, to use the Undernet!

[And with that, he's made it really easy to figure out which one's the lie... Good job, Ban.]

[perma_banned]

[Ban's mouth hung open for a moment. He shook his head and decided to take the bullet. He hadn't even been trying to cheat, that time.

True love really did cloud his judgment.]

Sooo, you hate usin' the phone~?

[boneafide]

...

[NERVOUS SWEATING.]
