video;

[ Cue the video feed, which begins with a way-too-close-up of Prompto's face. What can be seen of his face, which is mostly just his eyes and freckled nose, looks excited as hell. This is sort of an impromptu broadcast, but he can't not share this. This is a big, big moment for him.

Everything is about to freakin' change. ]

Heyaz! It's ya boy, Prompto. [ ......... ] Uh, so, y'know that special magic chalk you can get from the Ware Wolf guy? Oh, shit, is that supposed to be on the DL? A-anyway. I got some of that biz, aaaaand now — well, I'll just let it speak for itself.

[ The video then turns away from Prompto's face and to a chalk drawing on the ground: a near-complete rendering of a chocobo inside of circle. That's it. It's literally just a poorly-drawn chocobo inside of a circle, with a bit of its tail missing. It'd been near completion when he decided to share this monumental moment with everyone he possibly could, and he still holds a piece of the chalk in his hand, ready to finish off the last of the drawing. Let's all beseech the summoning gods to not bring forth a chocobo as disfigured as the one that Prompto drew, but its shape is at least recognizable to those who are familiar with the species. ]

Bam. Check it! If this actually works, I'm gonna be the proud papa of a brand new chocobo! One that's alllll my own! But I'll let you guys ride it, if you ask nicely.

[ Anyway, enough chit-chat, it's time for action!!! As he squats down near the drawing again, the feed catches him drawing the last bit of the chocobo's tail. For a moment that stretches into eons, nothing happens, but then —

There's a flash of light that temporarily blocks out anything from come through on the video, but as it begins to fade, there is the distinct, unmistakable sound of a kweh.

In the center of the crudely-drawn-but-apparently-effective summoning circle stands a majestic, bright yellow chocobo. ]

Holyyyyyyy shit! It actually — a-are you guys seeing this? It actually worked! Holy shit, he — she?? She's beautiful, have you ever seen a more fluffy, sweet, perfect animal in the whole wide multiverse?! C'mere — wait, what am I gonna name it? I gotta name it —

[ ...The chocobo turns and starts to trot away. Bye! ]

— aaaand it's leaving. Okay, uhhhh, leave me some name suggestions, look forward to my 24-hour livestream of chocobo life coming at'chu soon! Crap—

[ And the video feed cuts off as he breaks into a run to catch his wayward son or daughter. ]

[ Honestly, it was only a matter of time. ]

Grats on the new addition Prompto
Really hope they sell chocobo feed around here
Guess you could always summon some if they don't

[ But more importantly ]

Hey, I think you should have a poll to decide on the name
Most popular vote wins
It's the only fair way to do it

[ Fair has nothing to do with this. Noctis is obviously just angling here for Chokey McChocoboface because ya boy is like that. ]

[ Noctis has his priorities in order, and Chokey McChocoboface is certainly a worthwhile contender. Prompto would also unironically love it, which may make it a less appealing choice.

Better something hideously straightforward, like...Polly. Or Beaky. ]

oh shit do you think chocobos can eat lunatian lettuce???
i didn't put any gysahl greens in my drawing!!!!!

[ ...He tried googling it, but for some reason, there were no results... ]

the poll isn't a bad idea tho
maybe someone will put down Noctis and that will win 😜

If it needs greens, there are those orb things at the shop ig
You mightve just summoned one expensive pet

[ Chokey McChocoboface it is, a done deal, definitely to be enjoyed unironically (by these two idiots). That's a way better name than Noctis anyway tbh. What was Noct's dad thinking??? ]

I thought she was a girl
Chokey McChocoboface is gender neutral u kno
Keep it in mind
Or you could just call her Luna

maybe next i need to get a mountain of greens with another piece of chalk
that'd probably work right?

[ Only one way to find out...... ]

idk about that dude
i don't want to talk about riding Luna
that's your thing
:)

Sure, could work

[ A mountain of greens... This is like some kind of fairytale story, and the things Prompto has to summon to keep the chocobo happy are just going to get more and more impossible. This is either going to get really annoying or really funny fast.

But wow seriously here he was just suggesting your chocobo have the most BEAUTIFUL NAME EVER INVENTED but WHATEVER. It'd probably get weirdly confusing anyway.]

But you've got no problem riding "Noctis" around

[ ...

...

... ]

okay let the record show that you're the one who made it weird!
maybe i'll just name it Alisaie
idk if she'd find that flattering though
i know i would

[ She definitely would not find it flattering, or amusing, but Prompto hasn't quite mastered the fine art that is keeping himself out of the doghouse yet. ]

maybe i really should just call it Junior

[ Well, Noctis thinks it'd be really cute to name the chocobo after Alisaie too, but then he obviously doesn't understand how not to be embarrassing as a human being. Also he definitely wasn't the one who made it weird, for the record. ]

My vote's still on McChocoboface
But I guess Junior's not bad

[ No, he definitely wasn't the one who made it weird...but that's just kind of Prompto's state of being. ]

it'd make me really sound like its pop
cute little prompto jr.

[ Not to be confused with his dick. ]

maybe McChocoboface can be its middle name
or one of them

[ This poor child. ]

One of them huh
If McChocoboface is the first one, that might be alright
Or the last one
Gotta make an impact

How many middle names is little Prompto Jr going to have?

dude it's last name is gonna be Argentum obvs!!!
or Argentum-Leveilleur idk if we're co-parenting yet
that's a big step

[ But they already co-parent a dog that has no last name...don't ask. ]

it'll have as many middle names as it's going to take
but i could see like six or seven give or take

[ Seven is a hilariously ridiculous number of middle names to have, but more importantly— ]

I meant first or last of its middle names
So it's Argentum-Leveilleur already
Didn't realize you two were that serious

[ He did, actually, but like Noctis won't take any excuse to make Prompto (either of them, really) blush. ]

[ Prompto practically invited this upon himself, but still, he's blushing anyway, so mission accomplished. ]

😳
cmon man you know we're the real deal!!!
we have an apartment and a dog and everything
i think we're in our first fight too? sorta

[ It's been a...weird few weeks, ever since Alisaie got back from her brief return home. Well, brief for Prompto. Not so brief for Alisaie. ]

[ They're fighting? Ah well that takes the wind out of Noct's teasing. ]

Just your first one?
Youve been together like... almost a year or something right?
That's not bad

[ Why does Noctis build Prompto up, buttercup, just to let him down...? ]

So what'd you do?

[ Maybe he shouldn't have brought it up, but Prompto is making an active attempt to get better at his whole "not-talking-about-stuff-that's-bothering-him" shtick. Time to make good on that.

But first. ]

hey how do you know it was my fault?!???

i mean yeah it was kind of my fault
she came up with a name for the chocobo but i wasn't so into it
but idk we've gotten into little arguments before but this is different
things got kind of weird after she got back from her world this last time

[ What Noctis is getting from that is that it really isn't Prompto's fault. Or Alisaie's either. What a tough situation to be in. Texting is a good first step to talking about things though, right? It's always felt easier for Noctis, so that's why he figures they're having this conversation at all. He's never really been good at talking about his feelings, either. ]

So something happened back home
Did she tell you what?

[ Or did she lie and say she lost consciousness and couldn't remember? He can't really blame Ignis for that, especially considering how he was acting at the time. And considering he kept the truth from Ignis here, too. But it still stings. He wouldn't be surprised if Alisaie was like that. She's kind of fit into their group from the start, hiding her feelings under jokes and defensiveness. Fights are kind of inevitable, acting like that. ]

[ Alisaie...did tell him what, but he has the sinking suspicion that she didn't tell him all of the what. Sure, anyone would struggle to adjust back to life here when they're used to something much harsher, but...there's more to it than that. He knows her too well to believe otherwise. ]

yeah
sounds like it was pretty rough for her
she told me a lot but i don't think she told me everything
so i'm just kind of waiting for her to

[ She just needs time, right? She needs more time, and then Prompto won't feel like a stranger in their apartment anymore. ]

[ "Kind of waiting" is Prompto's MO for sure. And Noctis can't say it's a bad one. It's his method of choice, too. Not talking about things. Waiting for them to come out on their own, or for someone more mature to bring it up.

Who knows how much time they have in a place like this, though? It's hard to talk about things, but here more than ever, it eats at Noctis, the things he doesn't talk about. What if he never gets to say them? Would that be better or worse? For something like what Alisaie's probably going through... ]

Hm
Might need to nudge her about it
I mean unless you don't mind waiting a decade to find out what's really eating at her

[ That's unfair. It wasn't a decade for Prompto to talk about the MT thing. It was five years, if you didn't count the meeting-but-not-meeting thing as kids. ]

[ Wow, called out, dude!! But Noct's not wrong. Prompto isn't exactly a shining example of opening up about the things he really needs to, but that's just it — he can recognize it now, and wants to do better. That means encouraging others, Alisaie included, to do better as well.

He was so scared about telling Noct and the others the truth...but in the end, he had nothing to be afraid of. ]

i just don't want to piss her off
more than i already have anyway
but maybe you're right
just gotta make sure i don't do it during sanguis or cordis

[ Too bad that is literally what happened. ]

Sounds like a plan

[ One that's doomed to failure. RIP At least he's destined to end up having wild animal sex with a hot elf chick instead of killing his mad scientist dad in a lab full of hairless clones in tubes this time, so. Movin' on up. ]

Just
Her feelings about you aren't ever going to change, okay
It's not like she's going to wake up one day and realize she made a mistake
You're a great friend Prompto
And it sounds like a great friend is exactly what she needs right now

[ Yeah, well, you know what they say, all's well that ends well...and his end did very well. ]

yeah
you're right
she needs a friend instead of a boyfriend
i am SO GOOD at being a boyfriend though!!!
hope i get to do more of that soon

[ He's squandering his potential!! ]

I' m sure you will.

[ He won her over the first time, after all. Noctis has full confidence Prompto will manage it again. And not just because this thread is backdated and he already has, either. ]
