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!! :****

Because the alpha timeline needed to be maintained. In order for it to continue on, I had to go back and ensure that the right conditions would be present for it to do so. At the same time, that had all already happened, so by going back, I was fulfilling the condition that had already been set out for me. [ She doesn't hold back... ] Thus, a time loop was kept stable, and time and existence as we know them went on.

[Well that's...he's not sure he follows, in all honesty. This place and the people in it, all these different worlds and times and spaces, it's overwhelming really]

It sounds terribly confusing.

[timebender]

It's not confused to me [ . . . ] But yes, I get that a lot. If it makes you feel better, I didn't understand it much the first time I was alive.

[ofobedience]

[The first time she was alive. Okay then. He gives up.]

I suppose that's the nature of this particular beast. What's confusing to you could be every day life to me, and vice versa.

[timebender]

One of the many pitfalls of inter-dimensional travel.

[ She loses a lot of people on that bit; she's used to it. ]

All the same though, thank you for playing with me! Maybe next time I will choose the less confusing truths.

[ofobedience]

[Whereas he feels he has a long way to go before he'll be used to anything about their current situation. Perhaps he never will.]

I suppose so. And you're welcome.
