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?

[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.

[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!

[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.

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?

[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]

[Prompto had pulled the magi-cam down from the wall so he could read the message and looked around, looking for signs and landmarks so he could find where it was. Then he started to walk. And as he walked, limping, and read over the message he got after that.]

Yeah, pretty sure I can make it.

you're a pal. Thanks for this. I'll make it up to you somehow.

[Not that he had much, he'd only just gotten here. So he'd have to IOU him a favour sometime down the line.]

Prompto. That's my name. nice to meet ya!

[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...

[tightbod_bigrod]

Ah, yeah, that's pretty true. Still wondering if you're even alive or not, right?

Well, it's not too bad around here. You get a decent place to crash and there's plenty of food and shit. You can always pick up a job if you want more than that.

Basically, don't sweat it too much. You got time to figure it out without worrying about starving to death or something.

[infernaltouch]

Prompto? Hehe cute! I'll be done soon so please make yourself at home!

[Oh, he'll make it up to him alright. Convincing such a cutie into his home ready and waiting for him was all that-

Koro sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.]

Wow, I'm becoming a scumbag, aren't I?

[...Does one that relies on sex to sustain themselves ever stop becoming a scumbag? ...Koro decides he'll stop by the market and pick up some treats to gift Prompto. Sure, the guy looked tasty, but Koro wasn't about to trick and use the poor thing. The last thing he wants Prompto to experience on his literal first day is betrayal.

Oh if Koro knew what Prompto was going through before arriving...

All he can do is wait now. Meanwhile, should Prompto find the home and step inside... he'll notice some interesting things. Mainly the plants everywhere, the strong aroma of scented oils, and the rather suggestive paintings adorning the walls. Koro recalls how his home looks like, and can only hope Prompto won't be too scared off by it.]

Just realised I was doing text when this is video. I AM DUMB

[silverselfie]

[Prompto ran a hand through his hair and looked away, his cheeks were flushed and yet somehow he still managed to look like he'd paled to the point it was a wonder he hadn't fallen down.]

I could be dead. Given where I came from... So it wouldn't be a shock.

A job? Guess that's a step. Now I'm... [A shake of his head and a little laugh.] Gotta stand on my own two feet now.

lol

[tightbod_bigrod]

Yeah, you kinda look like it.

[Given that this kid looked beat up.]

You from the streets or something? [Although he wasn't really acting tough.] Whatever happened, consider this a pause button on your normal life and give yourself a breather to figure shit out.

I'll even buy you a drink. You look like you could use one.

[silverselfie]

Thanks, man. Really appreciate it!


[What a real nice guy. Not creepy at all, letting a strange guy just get all up in his house like this. How did he know Prompto wasn't some asshole who was going to get in and steal all of his stuff? Though by the same token, Prompto probably shouldn't be so trusting... This guy could be a serial killer or something!

But he was just so tired. Everything ached. He was filthy. A shower was the hook that had gotten him reeled in. He wanted that more than anything. And the lure of a shower is what had him walking and eventually finding the place Koro had directed him to. He found the key and let himself inside.

... He was a little awkward, creeping inside and looking about the strange apartment. It was... nice? Though now he was wondering if the guy was less of a serial killer and more of a sex pest? Or maybe he just... liked weird art? He couldn't judge. It was nothing like he'd expected, but he was good. He didn't go poking around, he just found the bathroom and then spent the next almost hour peeling out of his clothes and showering.

By the time Koro would get back, Prompto was out and sat in a chair, eyes closed and head tipped back. His hair was still damp, fluffed and ruffled. He'd had to put his clothes back on but he wasn't complaining.]

[silverselfie]

I'm not from the streets. I'm... It's a long story.

[He's quiet for a half minute, glanced off to the side to think.]

Yeah. A drink. I could do with a drink. If you can give me directions I can meet you somewhere?

[After everything he'd been through? A drink sounded real good.]

[tightbod_bigrod]

[Yup, too quiet for the streets. That checked out.]

Sure, an old co-worker of mine works at a bar now. [He gave some directions to get over to the bar where Genesis worked. He needed to drop in again anyway.

And his business venture turned out to be a lot more work than he thought. He needed a break himself.]

I'll be there for a bit, whenever you want to drop by.
