Format: Voice

[This comes pretty early in the day, but it's important.

And Prompto does not sound okay. He sounds like he might have been crying or is trying not to start.]

Uh. If...Ignis and Gladio are gone.

[A shaky breath.]

I don't know if Gladio had any bonds, but if he did and you were one of 'em...you're welcome to swing by mine and Noct's place? A-and, uh, Noct needs another bond, I'm pretty sure he's just got me now and Iggy was the only Witch either of us had gotten around to bonding with b-but I'll be fine with just him for a bit. He needs the more bond right now, so...any Witches out there looking for a lazy cat?

[He tries to chuckle, to be himself, but it's not easy.]

So...Oh! Uh, if you have a chocobo I got a bag of gyshals I'm...trying to grow here so there may be some of that in the future. [Gotta try and make this not miserable. Miserable is bad.] Anyway...yeah.

[End message. He's a mess.]

Prompto...

[This absolutely breaks her heart. She's only known him a short while, but she knows how he must be feeling. Losing Jusis had been a sad for them too.]

You're always welcome at our house too if you guys would like the company.

[clickclickbang]

You sure? Your place is pretty packed, isn't it?

[overworker]

Yes of course! We actually lost one of our own recently, so it would be nice to have guests.

We still owe you one for the trouble Randy and Fie caused you guys too. But more than that, you're friends.

[fiddlestick]

[Oh no. He didn't really know Ignis or Gladio personally, but those poor guys...]

I'm so sorry Prompto. Is there anything I can get you?

Voice;

[clickclickbang]

Uh...I don't know. This is...

[Bad? Bad.]

A lot? It's a lot. I only know Gladio's gone because I tried to get a hold of him and...

Voice;

[fiddlestick]

And he wasn't anywhere to be found? That happened with some of my friends.

I know...it's a lot. I'm really sorry Prompto.

[eluci]

Don't worry about me, worry about yourself.

[He's not taking any offense to the 'lazy cat' description because really, it him.]

I've still got Yuya, so I'm okay.

Re: voice

[clickclickbang]

Wait, you have another bond? And I missed it?

[He's trying to tease. It...may not be working.]

Re: voice

[eluci]

I thought I mentioned it...he's a kid named Yuya.

[krihnnges]

[K'rihnn doesn't know what to say. He hasn't known Prompto long, but he can guess that Ignis and Gladio are important to him and "Noct." Important enough for them to Bond with Ignis, at the very least.

In the end, there's nothing he can really say to it. He's certain he'd be just as inconsolable if it was the Exarch. So... K'rihnn takes a different approach.]

Um... would you... like for me to come over with Iris?

[Voice]

[clickclickbang]

[That makes him chuckle.]

I wouldn't say no? But only if you're free.

Voice

[stellung]

[ Oh no... ]

Prompto... Sorry to hear that. Do you need anything? Even if it's just company?

Voice

[clickclickbang]

Honestly, I dunno. They're not exactly going back to anything good, y'know? And I've got to worry about Noct--who apparently has a bond I didn't know about, the jerk--and then hopefully finding someone who can stand me enough to bond with?

[stellung]

Yeah. The uncertainty is... a lot to deal with.

[ He wishes he could say something more helpful - but grief sucks. He just feels so bad for the guy, and Noctis - who he hasn't even met yet, but still. A bond, though? He can at least help with that - maybe? ]

Well, if you wanted, I actually don't have any bonds at all yet. And for what it's worth? It's definitely not a matter of standing you. You're fun to spend time with.

-- But take your time, obviously. You don't need to rush into any decisions, especially right now.

Voice

[showsnopiety]

May they be safe. May God watch over them both.

[She's not okay either. While he sounds about to cry, she sounds...grey.]

Voice

[clickclickbang]

You're welcome over here any time, Caren. You know that, yeah?

Voice

[showsnopiety]

I know.

You know it goes both ways. I can cook for you. You and Noct.

[ Voice ]

[bad_crowmance]

Lost some of your pals, huh? Sorry to hear that.

[ Voice ]

[clickclickbang]

Yeah, it...that leaves just me and Noct now. Well, and Prim but the chocobo doesn't count.

[ Voice ]

[bad_crowmance]

Sounds kinda lonely.

[ He usually sounds pretty energetic but he's a little more somber this time. ]

You can come by out place any time you need company.

[ You can bring the tiny car--- ]

[activatingcombatmode]

[Shit, this is bad. He only talked to Ignis once before but he knew that Ignis was bonded to Prompto. Zack had made sure that Ignis was taking care of Prompto properly once.]

How are you hanging in there, bud?

voice;

[clickclickbang]

Elliot and his friends invited Noct and me over, so...better than I was?

[Because it's nice to know they're not alone.]

But this still sucks.

[activatingcombatmode]

That's good to hear about that part. You guys will be alright.

[As long as they're not alone.]

But yeah. I know how you feel. It does suck.

[hippocarnival]

[Speaking of that other bond... Yuya probably felt something, but he finds this post before he has a chance to reach out to Noctis.]

Sorry about your friends. You two aren't alone anymore, right?

[With that little plea for company, at least Prompto probably needs it.]

Voice

[clickclickbang]

Nah, some of our friends offered to have us over and apparently Noct has another bond.

[Said in the tone of "and I am giving him hell for it because I am his best friend". He's not actually annoyed by it.]
