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!! :****

Well... its whole point is that it's always behind you, right? What if you look with someone, like, you're facing east while they're facing west. This thing can't get behind you like that, at least not both of you at once.

[ It's what he'd try, anyway -- talk one of his friends into coming along. Of course, Scott could probably smell the creature, too, but he can't assume this guy has a werewolf-best-friend like he does. ]

[twinpeak]

The thing is—well, I was with my sister last time... [ With her particular brand of helpfulness. ] And I had mirrors, too—a lot of them! And still nothing.

[figureitout]

... okay, so it's not that easy.

[ Which is not really a huge surprise; it's no coincidence the thing has no confirmed sightings... ] Well, maybe it's like vampires and has no reflection? And, uh... yeah, no, I got nothing. Find a supernatural creature to sniff it out?

[twinpeak]

Huh. You know, that's a good idea. I wonder if the gnomes have seen anything... Or maybe some fairies? They're usually pretty deep in the woods...

[figureitout]

Gnomes. Fairies.

[ R..... ight. Seems like the kid had far more varied experiences than simply time travel and dinosaurs... ]

So- have you, uh, run into a lot of supernatural creatures? Say... werewolves? Were-anythings?

[twinpeak]

Werewolves? No, not yet, if you can believe that. But they're definitely out there somewhere, right?

[figureitout]

Yeah, definitely. You can count on that.

[ He says... with the absolute certainty of someone whose. best friend is one. ]

[twinpeak]

[ !! Certainty detected. ]

Have you seen one?

[figureitout]

... you could say that.

[ He sighs, and, ] Okay, so, don't maybe yell this around, but... my best friend's a werewolf.

[twinpeak]

... Dude. Now that's gotta be the coolest kind of friend to have.

[figureitout]

He's pretty great, yeah. [ Does he sound too soppy, saying this?? Ugh so sue him, he misses Scott a lot. ] I mean, I've known him since we were kids and he wasn't always turned, but... the stuff he can do now is pretty cool.

[twinpeak]

Well, the idea is that you have to get bitten by a werewolf to become one, right? So I wouldn't imagine he was always one. ... Come to think of it, can you be born a werewolf?

[figureitout]

Uh, yeah, actually. If you have the werewolf gene, like, a werewolf pack... they can have children who are either human or werewolves.

[ THE MORE YOU KNOW. ]
