Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I said much on here.

I kind of realized I haven't been seeing anyone in awhile just working a lot.

Or, just hanging out at home, you know?

It's really easy for me to fall into that so uh, does anyone want to do...something? I'm trying something new.

I dunno... what kind of 'something' did you have in mind?

[chocobosnap]

Anything that involves not hiding in the apartment. I've been really bad about it..and I know it.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Yeah know how that is.

So let's try this; do you normally prefer doing indoor stuff or outdoor stuff for fun? That'll help narrow down the possibilities a bit.

[chocobosnap]

Kind of a toss up. I run outside, and I play video games inside, so...also I generally shoot outside because you know, shouldn't just go shooting things indoors.

And I like taking pictures outside the best, that's where you find the best pets.

Okay, so...I don't know a thing about smartphones since they're not a thing in my time yet? Maybe I'm wrong, but was this meant for people you know or everyone in the city? Again, clueless about smartphones so maybe I missed something. Not trying to be rude. Just curious.

And I didn't mind it if it was for everyone. Just so you know.

[chocobosnap]

Kind of...everyone? I don't know that many people here anymore.

Sorry. I'm not good at this.

Just, yeah. Sorry.

[thefirething]

Nope. No being sorry. I didn’t mind I thought it was neat


I’m Charlie. New in town.

man, we're... really turning into homebodies, huh?
maybe we should, i dont know— get out and actually do something.

( something that isn't moping around about the ones they've lost... )

( text )

[chocobosnap]

Yeah that'd be good. Better even. What do you want to do?

[He's been moping too much anyway.]

[alternas]

dont know
what about... something like old times.
maybe we could go on some kind of road trip. with how much we've been working lately we could probably afford at least a beater, or at least a rental.

we could... find some good places to take pics. maybe a fishing spot or two.

( it is his birthday next week, after all... )

Is that the part where sending this to people you don't know comes in? I guess having an open network like this does make it easier to talk to new people.

What kind of things do you normally like doing when you're not working?

text

[chocobosnap]

Yeah, but text because I have a hard time meeting new people. It's not cute at all.

I like to run, practice with my guns, take pictures and play video games. I also hang out with Noct a lot. But really, we'd stay in the apartment all the time if we could get away with it.

[phanther]

That's okay. I've been there. I'd say it's pretty brave that you're reaching out to people like this.

Oh but if you like video games there are a few arcades in the different cities. And I bet if you went exploring the different cities you'd find a lot of things to take photos of. Unless you've done that already?

I know exactly how it is. Work before anything else. Gets boring sometimes.

At least back home, I had people I knew around all the time.

[Text]

[chocobosnap]

We had our other friends here too, but they're gone now, it's just me and Noct.

And I love him and all that, but we're spending most of our time together and I know better. I had other friends here too but many of them have gone.

So I guess I have to try harder to make new friends.

[Text]

[chief_of_staff]

I see. I don't know who this Noct is, but he seems like someone who is very close to you.

I haven't been here long at all, but I found out that my brother was here, alive, and I missed him. It's hard to think about. But I'm sure making some friends will get my mind off of that.

What I'm trying to say is that I am in a similar place as you!

Action

[clevermind]

[Things with Prompto have been tense and uncertain. Belle really isn't sure what to think but she continues to try and reach out to meet him. She doesn't really know what to say to his text so she swings by the shop when she knows that he'll be there.

She misses him and what they'd had before now but she remains silent in those matters. Belle's never had to do things like this before and it was rather confusing.]

Prompto?

[She can't help but smile at him.]

I hope this isn't a bad time.

Action

[chocobosnap]

[He smiles brightly at her. His feelings for her haven't changed, he's just so incredibly awkward and their disagreement, although he'd apologized, he felt like it wasn't resolved.]

No, not at all. Hey.

Action

[clevermind]

Hi.

[Her expression softens and warms as she walks over to him. Her affection for him grows like a blossoming warmth in her chest. It doesn't feel as if things are rightly resolved but she's happy to see him. Even when they do nothing but happen to be standing in the same room, she's happy to know he's there.]

How are you?

[She pauses and looks uncertain.]

Maybe when you have some time, you can come to my house to tea. I've missed having you around. [He's been working so much lately. She understands but it's easy to miss him.]

[Hikari might have had a slight advantage when it came to seeing Prompto, but she still smiled at the message nonetheless.]

What kinds of things do you like to do when you're not taking pictures?

text

[chocobosnap]

I still run every morning and do target practice sometimes, and play video games. But mostly I've been staying home with Noct.

[intothelens]

Is Noot your Pokemon?

[youfool]

Long time no see, Prompto. Glad you're still with us. I think Orihime was organizing a dance class with partners if that interests you.

[Text]

[chocobosnap]

A dance class huh? I am not very good at that. I wonder if Belle would be interested in that.

And hi, yeah I just have a tendency to hide away when I'm not feeling up to being social and that always winds up being longer than it should be.

Re: [Text]

[youfool]

You've been to something like that before? Well I imagine a few more might enlighten you.

But if that's not your cup of tea, I don't mind going to the range. Nova City has some very interesting toys and virtual targets to try them on. Or if something more visceral sounds nice, I know a good gym instructor.

I understand the feeling, mind. Solitude is a balm for all kinds of ills.
