Format: video
[In the background of this video, there's the (relatively) hushed sounds of a certain Sun King's voice, trying to get someone to stop and rest, as she should. He's being met with growls of "I'm busy!" along with some pots and pans clanging and chopping as she’s clearly trying to make Something. It might be a stew? There's still the remains of a varied breakfast and food packages that were just set on the table. Pointing this out does not appear to be much of a deterrent.
While all that’s going on, Prompto just sort of. Gives the camera a Look.]
So, I was going to let everyone know that hey, I'm back, Insomniac Delivery is back up and running, please do not try to eat my chocobo, photos will be back soonish, et cetera et cetera, but Caren dropped some interesting information at breakfast this morning and that takes priority. So.
[Pause for effect. An effect that is likely somewhat spoiled as more extreme measures of putting things on higher shelves is met with highly vocal protests decrying it as an unfair move.]
Apparently Dorchacht used to be a monster city.
[Yet another pause for further effect. And also a drink of coffee because boy, does Prompto need the (sugary, creamy, mostly everything but coffee) caffeine this morning.]
So, according to Caren's...contact? Before Drummond or whoever came around, witches lived in a separate part of the city because they were considered the dangerous ones. They said they treated the witches fairly and I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to treat people worse than how Dorch was when we got there, but, uh, maybe take that part with a grain of salt?
[And of course, in the midst of Prompto trying to explain, he’s interrupted by the menace in the background.]
This also could have been centuries ago so- no, I don't want tea. I don't feel like being drugged today, thank you!
That's not what-- [He lets it go. It's not that important right now. He plucks a ladle away from Caren.] It sounds as though they avoided the consequences of full moons without Bonds, but still engaging with one another.
[Prompto is just gonna ignore all that going on in the background. This is important. And also Ozy can handle Caren better than he can, let’s be real.]
They also told Caren about where Monsters and Witches came from, according to Dorchacht's lore, and what the Cwyld is...sort of. At least why it's a thing.
It's different from what they tell us here. According to their story, the Sisters freed the monsters from the True Fae and...Ozymandias! Don't put my knives there!
[And there she goes, back into the background. Specifically, onto the counter to save her knives. Her efforts are near-immediately spoiled as Ozymandias loops an arm around her middle and tosses her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.]
You're only going to confuse everyone worrying about something like that right now. If you’re not going to rest, at least focus. [He brings Caren back into view, setting her down, but keeping a firm arm wrapped around her. It would probably be a very nice hug under other circumstances.] What Caren was trying to say is that the True Fae then angered the Sisters by teaching humans magic. Thus, they created the Cwyld as punishment for their insolence.
Prompto, I trust you can manage from here. I'm going to remove the temptation to continue trying to cook.
[He barely waits for an answer before opting this time to at least princess carry Caren.
Prompto, meanwhile, stares in utter bafflement as they go off because that sure is a Witch princess carrying a freaking Chimera. Just for a moment, though, before he turns back to the watch.]
Yeah, what Ozy said. Anyway, uh. That was a lot, but there were other things Caren’s contact mentioned, but this is already pretty nuts so...any questions?
[[Prompto, Ozymandias, Caren. All three are available for questions!]]

[Not to add to the parade of people commenting on how this information was presented, but. He needs to add to that parade.]
I BET LOTS OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS. INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE WATCHES!! YOU COULD MAKE A PUBLICATION.
[In whatever spare time they have, between kitchen shenanigans.]

video;
So I could but...I'm unsure if making an official publication would be a good idea.
video
...Do you think it's too much, too soon?
video
It's not so much too soon, more that...it may be taken as an insult to Aefenglom.
video
Because... they have a different story? It happened so long ago... Probably nobody knows the real story anymore.
Re: video
That's quite true, and we understand this, with our outsiders view. However, it may still hurt their pride.
It may even be enough to accuse myself, and other mirrorbound that we're not trustworthy, because we published Dorchacht's story before Aefenglom's.
People can be surprisingly sensitive about the little things.
no subject
So we can't publish Dorchacht's before Aefenglom's.... Hmmm. Maybe together...?
Oh, hey! Maybe some other cities have their own stories too.
If a whole bunch of stories were in one publishing... Ordered alphabetically...? It could be an anthropology! Instead of, well. Politics.
[Or at least, politics with blatant favoritism.]
no subject
Especially if it was written down and editted by Mirrorbound before it was published in various cities.
Good work.
no subject
I mean! Yeah! It's a great solution.
If I hear stories from other cities... I'll pass them your way!
no subject
Yes, it is a good idea. It's smart even.
So...I suppose the only thing I can say is thank you in advance.
no subject
Well! You're welcome in advance. And I look forward to reading them sometime.
no subject
Certainly. But also- be sure to ask for help if you run into difficulties.
Not just from me, but others. People want to help.
no subject
Difficulties... with asking people their stories? Are they super shy??
no subject
They may be. Sometimes it helps to build something up before asking for something.
no subject
[At least a little bit. He has a habit of getting enthusiastic and rushing through plans, though, so they'll see how it goes.]
no subject
[Yeah who knows him being himself might work even better. No one wants a shy bone boy. Right? Right...]
