If you're looking for Noctis, he's gone.

If he left any unresolved business with anyone, let me know. I'll take care of it as best I can.

I'm Prompto, if you don't know me. I was his best friend, so I want to do what I can to help.

That's a lot of people leaving in such a short amount of time. The universe I was in before, we called that fluxing.

[chocobosnap]

Fluxing huh? Never heard of it.

I don't really know about others leaving, just Noct.

[badatinterrogating]

It was weird. Any time it happened, the whole town felt it. We knew when people randomly showed up and left. Kind of a dizzy, nauseated feeling.

Sorry your friend left, by the way. That's never fun.

[chocobosnap]

That sounds incredibly unpleasant. Where did you come from?

Thank you. I wish I could've said goodbye one last time.

[badatinterrogating]

Before here, I was in a place called New Dodge. A kind of space-colony I was recruited to help build. Before that?

[ He's going to lie. And he apologizes for the lie, but he'd rather not talk about the wheres. That was a bad situation that he'd really rather not think about. ]

Home. New York.

[chocobosnap]

A space-colony? Cool.

[Please excuse Prompto, he's kind of a big nerd and chock full of pop culture love, including watching terrible movies about space.]

I'm from Eos. Insomnia, mainly.

i apologize for him.

[badatinterrogating]

It was so awesome. We had an invasion of dinosaurs and I kept one.

[ He's very sorry, but he has to ask. ]

Your town is named for a sleeping disorder? I honestly don't mean to sound insulting, there. It's probably an insulting thing to ask. And clear evidence that I've never heard of where you're from, so it stands to reason that it's another universe I've never been to. Which is cool.

I am sorry to hear that your friend is gone.

It must hurt a lot.

[chocobosnap]

It does. More than you can imagine. I didn't get to say goodbye this time.

[ivegotadream]

It seems this world does that a lot. I've met a lot of amazing people who just someday vanished, never to return and I never got to say goodbye either.

And yet we continue to stay here and that makes it more painful. I wish there was something I could do to help with that.

[chocobosnap]

It's going to be painful no matter where I go, I think. That's what loss is like.

I wish there was a shortcut to feeling better, but I haven't found one.

[ivegotadream]

The only thing one can do is if you have others here still that you know. Just go to them, more so if they have lost someone too...I'm sure that will help.

[chocobosnap]

There isn't anyone like that right now, they've all gone.

I'll be fine, like always. I can manage.

[madcuriosity]

I'm sorry your best friend is gone, Mr. Prompto. Many of my friends are gone as well.

Will you be alright?

[chocobosnap]

I keep on keeping on. It's just how it goes sometimes. I'll manage. I always have.

[madcuriosity]

It shouldn't be how it is at all.... Is there anything I can do help you manage better?

[chocobosnap]

That's nice of you to offer, but I'm not sure anything can make losing someone just disappear. I wish it could.

[madcuriosity]

I wish there was too... so many of my friends went home.

[chocobosnap]

He's from the same place as me, but when I go back he won't be there. So this was it, I guess.

[Ted knows exactly how that feels. He also knows that he's never been all that great at alleviating it, but that wont' stop him from trying.]

Sorry to hear that Prompto. If it's any help, the Holoplaza has a few novel simulations involving marksmanship and zero gravity. I wouldn't mind a spotter at the gym either.

[Better an activity than wallowing, right?]

Re: text

[chocobosnap]

Either one would probably distract me. I really should leave the house, I guess.

Re: text

[youfool]

[Not the most spirited acceptance, but he'll take it. On reflection the gym sounds better; it's more grounded and calmer than the frenetic fun of virtual reality. Easier facilities to use, too.]

All right, the Sand Gym seems best. When you're ready, let me know and we'll compare regimens.

does Prompto even lift

Re: text

[chocobosnap]

Sure. Let's do it tomorrow.

[He can wallow today and move on tomorrow, seems like a sound plan.]

dude Ted have you seen these guns

Re: text

[youfool]

I mean they went to the range a time or two so yeah he's seen a lot of Prompto's guns.

Thanks for indulging me; go under the Mercy. And of course, I'm here if you've need.

Re: text

[chocobosnap]

No problem. I'll be fine.

What do you mean by under the Mercy?

There's no way Cor or Gladio would let him get away with not lifting.
