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?

[thefirething]

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]

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

[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.

[chocobosnap]

Okay cool. I'm Prompto Argentum. I've been here for awhile. Almost a year I think.

[alternas]

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... )

[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.

( text )

[chocobosnap]

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

[He's been moping too much anyway.]

[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.

[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... )

[chocobosnap]

That sounds pretty good actually.

Yeah, we should be able to afford something.
So Noct.
Are you gonna let me drive?

[That's right, his bro is getting older.]

[alternas]

you ever heard the saying
"arrive alive" ?
that should tell you all you need to know

( it's a joke. mostly. but hey if anyone can get him joking again after a downward swing, its you bro. )

[chocobosnap]

You will remember I totally have a legitimate license!

I took a test and everything
Remember?
Good thing you didn't come with me.

I think it's your fault I get distracted.

[Always here to help bro.]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Yeeeaaah, best not to shoot inside unless you're in an actual shooting range.

Pets though, huh?

[That's given Lea an idea.]

You got any Pokémon?

[phanther]

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?

[thefirething]

Prompto? That's a new name. I like it.

What is there to do here? You seem to be slightly more in-the-know about town, considering you've got almost a year on me.

[chief_of_staff]

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.

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.

[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]

[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.

[chocobosnap]

Yeah, I've got three pokemon!

I've got Fluffy, my Togedemaru, Shocky my Minun and Puffy my Ducklett.

[He is bad at naming things. Sorry Lea.]

[chocobosnap]

Yeah? I never gave it much thought. I guess it's cool.

Uh, well I know there are bars which are fun enough if you want to go drinking, and I run so there's a lot of scenic things too look at and take pictures of. There's a shooting range, and a holodeck for sparring practice. There are a few arcades.

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.

[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.
