[Video] Honest Lies

[Look at that, he's on the network and not under the influence of an event. That's a rare sight to behold. He's no longer hiding and he has an inquiry on his mind.]

Greetings fellow unwilling... and perhaps willing inhabitants. Allow me to pose a question to any and all willing to answer. But first, I must clarify something. The definition of a lie is an intentionally deceptive statement. The intention to mislead or deceive. A falsification or a fabrication. Put simply, something untrue.

Now, many of you are aware of who I am and of what I am capable. Others may know just my name and the implication it provides. Fewer still actually recognise my face or the sound of my voice. [Yes, he's talking to you, dear. Fandral, honestly. Lovely, intelligent, but so gullible.] For those of you with that knowledge, fear not. This is in no way malicious. I have no hidden motive or deceitful purpose save for the slaying of my unyielding boredom. Truth? ...or a lie? [He smiles somewhat knowingly, but doesn't provide an answer.]

What I wish to ask is, for those of you with such self-righteous morals, is there any here that can claim not to be guilty of a lie? The answer to that is a simple 'no'. Lies take many forms, be they malevolent or innocent. Withholding the truth or altering it, both qualify. Omission of truth or using the truth to paint a different picture are both still considered deceitful.

Lies are not only used for ones own benefit. They can be used to protect others. Tell me, would you lie to save a life? To save the lives of many? I'm curious just what would be the breaking point?

[He raises an eyebrow, inviting an answer just before he ends the feed.]

[ Replying probably isn't wise, but this is Wonderland and they're all stuck here, especially with Loki, so wisdom's not always an option really.

Plus maybe she's just bored too. ]


Wow. You really must be bored.

Is there a point to this question or did you just feel like rambling to anyone who would listen?

Everyone has limits, Loki.

[ Her tone is dry, matching his. because yes, apparently this conversation is a thing that's happening. And why not? She was the one who'd tried to convince her team that being allies - no matter how unstable that truce - was a good idea. She didn't think 'avoidance' and pretending he didn't exist was going to be a working solution forever. ]

I suppose it just depends on how flexible your limits are when it comes to changing situations.

[ Yes, yes she is. Thanks. ]

Of course you do. The question is if you're aware of them or not yet.

[ Her answer is patient and confident as she regards him, surprisingly civil, despite the topic. And who she's having this conversation with. ]

Is it? I prefer to keep my options open when possible.
