Is the stuff those guys in there said true? I mean it has to be true, I'm here and those guys weren't human, right? So this has gotta be a dream or am I dead? Would I know if I'm dead?


[The video had started with a distressed looking blond man and soon that blond was wincing in pain after he's pinched himself. The test to see if he was asleep, not dead. So he at least got proof that one of the two was wrong.

He's got the magi-cam (a name that made him twitch hard when he heard it, propped up on a wall so he can stand and use both of his hands. Hands that were gesturing as he spoke, and paced.]


And no gettin back, right? That's what they said. Some mess about time loops and, damn, I should have listened better.


[The kid has bags under his eyes, a few cuts and scrapes and bruises, and those are just what can be seen on his face. They'd tried to patch him up as well as could be before he'd gone and run out. He was quick on his feet.

He ran a dirty hand through his hair and then gave a nervous laugh before turning back to the camera.]


Don't suppose this'll get seen by people, huh? My people? Noct, Gladio? Iggy... [A shake of his head.] What am I doing? I mean to say, I'm Prompto! I got here a few hours ago and this place is crazy!

heya! Sorry I can't do a video with you, I'm at work!

Anyways don't fret, lil guy!! Lots of people come and go! How long you're stuck here can vary but I don't think you're stuck here forever! ✧◝(o▿o)◜✧

[What an adorable little man. Koro can only sigh at the screen as he's stuck at work, watching this tense human have a possible nervous breakdown.]

[silverselfie]

nah it's good, I can do text too! thanks for replying, don't get into trouble at work on my account?

you don't think so, huh? Cool cool.

[Not that he's got much to go back home too... literally nothing. Well hell]

... what's that little guy at the end there?

[infernaltouch]

it's a kaomoji! All the rage from my home! ( ╹▽╹ )

I've been doing them for so long I have them all memorized and can type them all out hehe (;´∀｀)

I can't do much tho...a lot of the characters aren't available on these devices so I'm a bit limited!* But I do my best! They also help me seem less scary! (◕દ◕)

So anyway why are you so shaken up? Is it because of your situation right now? I have a hunch you weren't in the best shape in your situation before coming here to begin with

[ooc: *a lot of the kaomojis I wanna do don't show up on DW half of the time so thus I made up an ic reason lmao]

[silverselfie]

huh... I don't scare easy, but they look fun! I've never heard of them before. maybe you could show me how to do em sometime?

when time went all screwy? yeah i was in a bad place. guess you could say a real bad place. then I was here. So I guess it's a better place. I should be grateful. I am grateful.

[But its all so weird and strange and he doesn't know how to get his head around it all.]

[infernaltouch]

sure!! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Glad to hear you're doing better here, then! Where did you come from? The laboratory? A lot of people end up there or Kyoto

If you woke up in the lab then good news! I'm relatively close!

[And Koro is hungry.]

[silverselfie]

How did you... wait. Uh... you mean the place after I got here, right? Yeah. Yeah I'm just outside of there tryin to get my bearings.

They said somethin about I can get a room but I just needed to sit and clear my head for a sec, y'know?

But you're close to here?

[infernaltouch]

my house is! I'm at work right now which is further away though

But my home is in Yoshiwara, next to Nihonbashi, where you are! :D

Hmmmm if you're needing some time to chill and take a breather, why not rest up in my place? I've been here a while so I've built up a nice living space for myself. I'm all about the zen and relaxation stuff, so maybe my house can be a nice calming place you can rest up in until I return? It's even got a western style shower if you need to freshen up a bit!

[silverselfie]

riiiight...

[He has no idea where those places are and nods, forgetting he's texting and shakes his head at being so dumb. Who shakes their head at a text?]

no idea where that is but I figure there's a map somewhere on this, I'll find it and... If you're sure you don't mind? Somewhere outta the way... And a shower? Yeah, you've sold me. I'd kill for a hot shower!

Public -> Private

[infernaltouch]

hehehe, glad I'm helping you cheer up, then!

Okay, you said you just got out of the lab, right? I can give you directions!

[Ping! The shaken blond will receive another text, one that is labeled private. It's clear instructions on where to go, details on how the house looks like to make sure the buy has the right one, and where Koro hides his spare key.]

yeah the house used to belong to a foreigner which is why it has a bed with legs and a stand up shower! He was still interested in Nipponese culture hence the rest of the stuff being that of a traditional Nippon home. Think you can make it, champ? I'll be done soon and bring something to fill your belly :)

I'm Koro by the way (ㆁωㆁ)

What's your name?

[video] un: hotturk

[tightbod_bigrod]

You get into a fight, kid?

I've seen a lot of people who shouldn't be alive, but also people who shouldn't be dead, so I'm still up in the air about that.

[silverselfie]

something like that, yeah. Heh, think I'm bad, should see the other guy.

You've seen people who shouldn't be alive? Like...zombies? No way!

[tightbod_bigrod]

Like people I know who shouldn't be alive. Not that I'm against seeing them again... Makes me a little concerned about my 'alive' status, though.

[Though he wasn't too distressed at this point.]

Didn't know the afterlife would involve so many dicks and boobs, though. So does that make this heaven if it's like a big sex party? I'm pretty damn sure I wouldn't be let into heaven...

[silverselfie]

Huh? What? Hold on, back up! What're you talking about? Sex party? You're joking?

[tightbod_bigrod]

No joke, man. Lots of sexy stuff. You're gonna have a great time.

[silverselfie]

Uh, sure, right. If you say so, man.


[He totally doesn't believe him...... but he'll learn!]

[tightbod_bigrod]

You're not enthused?

There's girls, too, y'know. If you prefer that over sausages.

[silverselfie]

Hey whoa! I'm not sayin I like one more than the other I just... I mean... I just got here, this is kinda weird, y'know? Its hard to believe...

video, un: white crane

[mistsplitter]

I don't believe I'm dead, so you likely aren't, either.

[ The last thing she was doing was paperwork, after all. Not a very lethal activity!

As for the other person behind the screen? He doesn't seem to be doing so well. She'd try to help if he'd let her, so... ]

I've only just arrived, so I don't know if your friends are here, but if you need someone to talk to, I wouldn't mind lending an ear.

[silverselfie]

Uh... [He paused in his pacing to look at the screen and the blurry image that popped up. She was cute! He had no idea who she was... But she was new like him so that was a bonus, at least he wasn't alone in being new.

Prompto gave a half smile followed by a shrug.]

I don't mind talking. I don't know if I've a lot to say though...

[mistsplitter]

Well... if I may be so bold in assisting you, if you want to ask questions, or just talk about food or things that would help you calm down, I am here.

[ Because he does not seem calm. ]

If you need medical attention, [ Because it does look like he does. There's that, too. ] Perhaps I can help, too.

[silverselfie]

I uh... yeah. Yeah alright.

[No, he wasn't the calmest right now. But having to actually stop and think was helping, surprisingly enough. So much so he was able to give her a little half-smile.]

Alright, I could use that kinda help. Thanks.

[mistsplitter]

[ There's the small amount of money she's received upon arriving. She can have a place to stay, so that's covered. Food... well, maybe she can ask help from Aether. So for what money she has, maybe she can get a small first-aid kit using it. ]

You're welcome. My name is Kamisato Ayaka.

[ She could stand to be a little less awkward, but she does not know how to make friends on her own... This will be tough. ]

Do you know where you are? I'll arrange to meet you so you won't have to travel very far.

[silverselfie]

I'm Prompto.

[He smiled then, because he's kind of awkward himself. And only sees a stranger offering him kindness, and with all the harsh realities he'd been forced to deal with lately, a little kindness was a balm to his soul.]

I'm... I guess I've just left that orientation place? I've not moved far from there.

[Literally outside the door. He reaches for the magi-comm and aims the camera at the building to show where he was. Hopefully she'd know.]

switch to action if that's cool?

[mistsplitter]

I know where that is.

[ Seeing as she was just there recently. ]

I'll see you soon then, Prompto.

[ It doesn't take long for Ayaka to start moving, to get a first-aid kid from a nearby shop. With a discount, to boot! It seems these people are really fond of refugees. She's ever so grateful, and since she has the extra money to spare? She uses it to buy two pieces of mochi for the person she's about to meet. Hopefully he hasn't run off out of stress or fear so she can find him easily. ]

[Action]

[silverselfie]

I'll see ya.

[And then he'd sign off and sit his tired butt down right there by the wall to wait.

Prompto feels bad being such a bother to a perfect stranger. But they were being nice enough to help and he really was grateful. He lifted one pale arm, bruises everywhere, a few cuts... Yeah, a little first aid wouldn't go amiss right now. Shame he didn't have a potion on hand. Though he figured he might need a few to help him.

When Ayaka finally finds him, he hasn't moved a muscle, aside from having pulled his knees up to his chest. He almost looks as if he's fallen asleep.]
