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!! :****

God of lies... [Repeating this...about as unimpressed as Loki is casual about it, all things considered. He could have said god of milkshakes and bacon and it would probably garner about the same reaction. But Shizuo's peering more properly into the feed now, vague frown deepening somewhat.] Didn't know there needed to be a whole god for lies. Ah, and how do I know you're not lying about that, either?

[selfimage]

If I didn't announce myself that wouldn't be a question needing an answer, would it?

[ there's a little curious hm that comes in his voice, as if he's testing the thought for himself. ]

So, if I wasn't the god of lies then it would most definitely be a lie, yet if I am ... the statement is still a lie? There's a breach in logic if I ever heard one.

[longtempered]

Well, I mean, you don't need to be a god of lies to lie all the time, so I actually probably would have asked that anyway.

[After all, Orihara Izaya is a person that exists and practically breathes lies out of every pore despite being very much not a god of any sort. Although...all these turns of logic Loki's trying to run through here are also starting to sound kind of unpleasantly familiar already, if the grimace that crosses Shizuo's features about now is anything to go by.]

But I don't--really have any idea what you're talking about now, so whatever. Doesn't matter if you're a god or not, I get a feeling like I'm not going to get a straight answer out of you about whether it's true either way...

[selfimage]

[ Loki doesn't seem all that concerned about the god thing. it usually works as a slip-up, and he seems somewhat satisfied that he won. ]

Being a god doesn't really have much to do with getting a straight answer. You were the one that made the assumption I was lying. I could take offense to that.

[longtempered]

[Wow hey it's not like they were playing a game anyway so whatever!!! Congrats on winning your nonexistent game, you jerk...have fun with your nonexistent prize......

On the whole, Shizuo's regarding the feed in pretty deadpan fashion at this point, even if this face is repeatedly undermined by his squidge continuing to adjust positions on his head every now and then.]

That was because you'd just said you were good at lies. Maybe I tend to jump to conclusions like that a lot. [At around this point, Aki actually pokes its face into the top of Shizuo's feed itself, just over his forehead, blinking wide eyes at Loki and his squidge on the other side. Oblivious to this, Shizuo shrugs.] You can be offended if you want, I'm not stopping you.

[selfimage]

[ HE'S UNFORTUNATELY VERY PROUD OF HIMSELF FOR WINNING THIS GAME THAT PROBABLY MEANS NOTHING gj there Loki. ]

I'll keep that in mind when the offense is too much to bear!

[ and he puts his hand over his forehead in a blatant show of dramatics. ]

[longtempered]

[THIS GUY........

Thoroughly unmoved by these theatrics:] That's good, then. You do that. Whenever that happens. [What are they even talking about anymore, god....] Anyway, have you got a name or something? I'm not about to start calling you 'god of lies' all the time, that's too much of a mouthful.

[selfimage]

True to my display name? It's Loki.

[ there's a little smile that curls on his lips, knowing and satisfied. ]

But I'm not just the god of lies. Mischief and chaos get thrown in there too.

[longtempered]

[Shizuo's own perpetual frown may or may not be intensifying in direct correlation to the curl of that little smile over there good sir...!]

Loki? Ah, that's simple, then. Think I'll just stick to that, if it's all the same to you. Sounds like you're a pretty busy guy... [How many titles does one god need?? Questions Shizuo has never actually had any interest in finding answers to, but here they are...]
