Name: Prompto Argentum + Omi Fushimi
Date: 09/03
Format: Video

[First it’s just some still shots taken with the watch. Omi is in a few poses in a very, very flattering vest and shirt combo (and pants, this isn’t that kinda advertisement) with the caption:]

WANTED: A BOND

[And then, a video focused on Omi again, though it’s Prompto who speaks. (If you know him, this sounds a little forced-happy, though he’s genuinely enthusiastic. Omi doesn’t look too well either, for reasons that are about to be obvious.]

So. Someone whose name starts with an “Omi” and ends with “Fushimi” has apparently been here five months! Without a Witch bond! This amazing, talented, built-as-hell turnskin has no Witch! None! For five months! We need one around three.

Ah, hello… I'm Omi. This wasn't exactly my idea…

It wasn’t my first idea either, buuuuuuut we’re desperate and this way there’s no, y’know. Awkward speed dates or anything. It’s a personal ad! Because Aefenglom doesn’t have a dating website.

[Someone’s gonna take that idea and run with it, whoops.]

Anyway! Omi’s seriously a great guy. Hard-worker, he cooks…

Right… [He sits up a little straighter, looking to Prompto as if unsure just how far he should go with this. Maybe it's fine if he just talks about himself?] I work as a photographer here and I'm an actor as well. I'd say they're both my passions. In my spare time, I like to do small crafts, cook--especially sweets--and do physical activities like sports and training.

[In a stage whisper:] Seriously, though? His food is uh-mazing.[Back to normal] Also those wolf ears? Honestly, dude, I am amazed you are still bondless.

Well, to be honest I wasn't sure about Bonding in the first place. It seemed kind of strange to make someone else deal with all of this with me. I'm not exactly pleasant on the full moons. At least now I realize part of that is because I don't have a Bond, as Prompto has kindly informed me… several times.

Multiple times. In the same month, even. [And here Prompto turns the camera on himself and--yeah that is a man who isn’t sleeping much] Seriously, from a guy who’s been here over a year? Bond. It’s weird, but just. Get a friend! Do the thing! Witches can have familiars too, if that’s more your thing. [But back to Omi] Enough about that, back to Omi. Anything else you wanna say?

No, not really. Just...it doesn't have to be a permanent thing, if someone just wants to try it out. I'm probably a handful, or something...

You are not a handful. He is not a handful, ignore that last bit!

[Omi. Omi plz.]

If you say so. [Omi manages a little laugh, and it's quite the handsome laugh, by the way, if one is into that kinda thing. Honestly, he's a bit swoon-worthy even if his self image is a little off.] I'm sorry to ask anyone this way, but I'd rather help someone out, if I can. That's all. So.. Thanks for your consideration, at least. [He gives a polite half bow.]

And that’s a wrap!

[End feed.]

Sweets, you say.

I'm especially fond of scones and cakes. They're kind of second nature to me at this point.

[ Fordola replies... but she's in full-griffin form. She's just giving the most deadpan expression, though. ]

I haven't bonded with a witch since arrivin' here, and I'm surviving. Mostly. Sure, I've got a pretty sensible monster friend, but still.

[pastregrets]

Ahh, well... I thought I was doing okay, but I'm really not myself at certain times and since it seemed like this was one solution...

[Just.

Just this look. C'mon, Fordola.]

i can't really help since i'm a monster but this is what i've been saying!!! lol.
a friend of mine's been bondless for around 5 months too but i'm glad that you're actually trying to reach out! unlike them...
so yeah, get out and do the thing for sure, i'm rooting for you omi! :)

[clickclickbang]

you

I like you

[pastregrets]

Usually I wouldn't let someone do this for me, but he insisted. Maybe it'll turn out to be fun.

Maybe it'll work? Who knows.

I didn’t know you had gone so long without a bond, Omi...A witch really would work better. I hope you find one soon. It’s tough without a bond in the long run.

[pastregrets]

I didn't mean to worry anyone. It's kind of complicated, the way I feel about it, but that's probably not important. I'll just have to do it, even if I don't know that I want to.

[weiward]

Do you know how happy I am to see this? The bond resistance is real in this place.

[clickclickbang]

[This is why he likes you, WWX.]

I mean, I get it? It's weird! But it's not as weird as going feral or burning out or anything else, y'know?

video

[pastregrets]

I have reasons, but it's not like what I'm worried about really matters, right? It's better ultimately to just do it.

video, un: momo-chan~♥

[yesdoubt]

[Hmm. Momo looks like he might be scheming something as soon as he opens the video, though it's in a good way. Probably.]

I know a Witch who was looking for a Bond recently, actually...I don't know if he already managed to get one, but I can try pointing him your way if you like! He's a nice dude, easy to get along with and all.

[clickclickbang]

[Good for who??]

Yeah? Who?

[pastregrets]

Nice to see you again! Sorry it's not under more flattering circumstances...

action for Omi

[clickclickbang]

[So, at some point, Prompto looks at Omi.]

You okay, man? I know you didn't wanna do this, but...

[You kinda sound a little PA annoyed?? And Prompto is concerned.]

[pastregrets]

[Omi looks absolutely shame-faced at that.]

No... Sorry, it's not that I'm not grateful. I guess it seems like that, doesn't it? It's all just reminding me of why I didn't want to do it in the first place.

[timenace]

[ As it turns out, Momo doesn't waste time in his scheming. Sougo looks slightly awed by all of this, because... ]

You really managed to go five months? You don't look like you're doing too badly.

[ He distinctly remembers a pretty rapid downward slide for himself before he hit his limit. ]

I don't mind offering a bond if you need one though.

video;

[pastregrets]

Ah, hello! I'm usually pretty okay, except right on the full moon and a little in the leadup. It's inconvenient then because I try to make food in bulk beforehand for a few other Monster folks.

[And he won't get into detail about the full moon situation. Yet.]

I'm not trying to be picky, or rude, but do you mind if I ask you a few questions first? I have concerns in general; I'd ask the same questions of anyone, for their sake as much as for my peace of mind.

Whats a familiar vs a bondmate????

I hope Omi gets a bond!!! He sounds cool, i wish I knew how to make sweets

[clickclickbang]

as I understand it familiar's are pets, bondmates are actual people

video; @chazuke

[needsteaplz]

My goodness. And here I was this close to posting a call out towards some of my own housemates about getting a bond. Still I'm rather shocked there's no bond-focused matchmaker here.

Though if I had known someone here has the last name Fushimi, I would've changed my izakaya's name to prevent any future confusion.

[She points to the indigo noren, cloth divider, hanging in front of a small restaurant space behind her. The kanji for Fushimi is painted in white.]

[pastregrets]

I hate to say it, but a matchmaker would've saved me a little trouble. Maybe someone with that skill will step up because of this.

[He laughs lightly at the business name though.]

Well, it's not like I own the name. If you need help with your menu ever, I could give you a hand. I think it's kind of... I guess charming, as coincidences go.

[sneaksweet]

I can vouch for Omi. He's one of the best guys I know.

And he makes the best sweets.

[clickclickbang]

Thank you for the testimonial!

[. . .]

You've got a witch, right?

un: elliot

[fiddlestick]

Haha, any luck finding a bond yet?

[clickclickbang]

think we've got at least a temp one!! ngl I am surprised this worked so quickly

[blind_benevolence]

Well, I do like training with him. If you're still looking for someone, I wouldn't mind offering myself.

Hey, you can have up to three bonds!
