[fairlyheroic]

Oh! Oh, yeah. The job here seems a lot more fun than the one they were doing back home.

[an understatement, and that's only the stuff he knows. He can imagine it goes much further and deeper than that and y'know, he doesn't think he wants to know about it.

Zack almost slips off too, but because he tries to sit up and grab Prompto before he can fall] Haha, careful.

I hear that. I'm doing the sort of work I wanted to do back home, so it's worked out. [and he gets to see people he didn't think he'd ever see again. Another plus!]

[bythewaves]

I am a bard.

[ He points out with a grin and then grimaces ]

Well. If I'm any judge... I suspect the music this thing plays will be... mm. Somewhat lethal. Maybe don't point it at anyone when you pluck a string.

[ If he does, a sword will fly out ]

[ancientflower]

"I'm happy for that at least." Not that his parents fought but that they were at least able to show that their children were loved.

Aerith stepped back then, hands swinging down and behind her back as she did, a little embarrassed to have gotten so heated about something that had nothing to do with her. She just hadn't liked to see a friend hurt.

[ancientflower]

"We didn't get too far, honestly." Aerith admitted sheepishly. "As I've said, our resources were very limited. I have an abundance of feathers due to an outbreak of strange birds that descended upon the city. We learned how to treat those in order to create something of interest. We had limited metal, almost nothing in the way of gem stones. Not even glass we could use. It was... not an easy world to be on." And yet it seemed to desperately want itself to be known as a comfortable and happy place. It was not.

[ancientflower]

[She pouted.]

I didn't mean kill me! Just, you know, see if it reacted to danger? Maybe?

[Aerith shrugged and waved Zack off to go and chat to the Oni while she turned and looked over the little shield in her hands, turning it over and over in her hands. The more she held it the more comfortable it seemed to feel. She smiled down at it. It really was kind of cute.]

[ancientflower]

They did it to you as well? Well that makes me feel somewhat better.

[She wasn't to the point of wanting to kill anyone. But she had been holding back on slapping a few for their audacity!]

I won't lie I'll be happy when I can return home. I don't fee we're very welcome at all here.

[ancientflower]

Now wouldn't that be interesting?

[She laughed at the idea, and was even more interested by the confirmation that the chocolate fruit was just as good as the rest. Happily she found two of her own.]

I have a friend who hopes to open a bar soon. I wonder... if I can turn my hand to learning how to create wines for her using these fruit?

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Oh now you shouldn't have told Duo that. He smirked and glanced around before turning away and pointing himself and the harp in a direction where noone but a wall stood. He was curious!

Having no skill at all with instruments, Duo didn't know if he'd need to pluck a certain one or several in sequence to get any kind of reaction, so he just... brushed his fingers across the strings, a pretty, if tuneless sound, emerged. And with it came a sword that appeared and flew straight at the wall.

Duo burst out laughing and looked down at the harp, thrilled at such a strange weapon.]

That's so impractical!

[bythewaves]

His smile firms and he reaches over to tug on a strand of hair, playful.

"None of that frown." he says fondly. "My family situation is... complicated. But I was loved, I promise. And I am happy here."

[bythewaves]

He hums. "Mm, that does sound difficult. Well, I think we will struggle to MAKE any gems here, but in a place like this, there are plenty of places to fossik! We should be able to find feldspar, or greenstone, or even, if fortunate, bits of quartz or gold. If we can find some crystalline ones, I can show you how to try and catch light in it, if you like?"

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor winces at the sword ]

Mm, it's... not unusual to what I can actually do, although it's a bit cruder. If you want to keep it... ?

[silverselfie]

[And take a while it did! Prompto reached out and called Sylv's name, he pulled at whatever was hidden inside of his friends heart and... came up empty.

And this happened several times for them. They would take turns trying to pull out the soul artefact within each of them until Prompto groaned and couched down and rubbed his hands over his hair, fluffing it up.]

This is never gonna work! I think I'm broken!

[Because it wasn't Sylv, no way. It had to be Prompto. He wasn't strong enough to summon the artefact or special enough to have one of his own. That had to be it.]

[silverselfie]

[Prompto had no idea what he had been expecting when he was told 'bird shaped dumplings', but when they showed up, he couldn't stop smiling. They were so cute! Sylv was right, they were ALMOST too cute to eat! But when Sylv reached for one he did the same, dipped he edge into the soy sauce and took a bite.]

Ish shoo good!

[He shouldn't talk with his mouth full but who cared? They were delicious!]

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Duo missed the wince, if he had seen it he might have not gone and plucked the strings again to cause two then three swords to go flying out in quick succession.

It really was impractical as a weapon. No less impressive though. At the very least there'd be some shock factor to take into account that could afford him some time if he was faced with an enemy.]

Huh? You actually have a weapon like this? Why the hell didn't you tell me? You're an awesome guy, Mags. But I can't keep this, it's yours, remember?

[smilingarmor]

You're no such thing, Prompto darling. Come on, back on your feet; let's give it one more try, eh? I've got a good feeling about this one!

Now I think ti was my turn, so whenever you're ready...

[Sylv waits for Prompto to straighten up, then reaches out one more time.]

Prompto- Oh!

[The extra little exclamation was because this time, when Sylv touched Prompto's chest his hand started glowing!]

I think I've got it, honey! Now let's see what I've got, hmm?

[And with a dramatic flourish and the glow briefly becoming brighter, Sylv pulls something out from Prompto's chest. But what?]

[sleepsalot]

"Prom, you know I'm a picky eater. Not even Specs could dress this stuff up to make me eat it."

Noctis gives Prompto one last squeeze, followed by a kiss on the cheek, before he's rolling over in the hay and pulling himself to his feet. Could he have continued to lay there with Prompto? Absolutely. But, Prompto was right in that they probably needed to get back inside, think about something for dinner, and clean themselves up. Noctis knows neither he nor Prompto smell good after spending the entire day laying in the barn with the chocobos.

Once he's made it up, he offers a hand to Prompto, "Come on, let's go get some decent food and clean ourselves up."

[sleepsalot]

[ Letting go of his shoulder, Noctis grabs for Prompto's arm when he sees him summon one of his firearms because what is he thinking pulling out a gun right now?! When he finds his voice, he speaks through gritted teeth ]

We're in an aquarium!

[ But Noctis can't pull his arm close enough to grab the gun, instead grabbing his own shoulder again as the pain shoots through his arm and neck again. ]

You can't fire a gun in here! One shot into the glass and we're all dead--! [ He leans against the aquarium wall, sighing ] What are you going to do with your gun against a shadow...?

[smilingarmor]

[Sylv at least had better manners, and waited until he'd swallowed before speaking again.]

That they are. A tad pricy, but the experience is worth it. How often do you get to eat and drink in a pool, hmm?

[sultanofsquat]

Well forget 'em. You're welcome right here.

[bythewaves]

Not a weapon, no. [ His voice doesn't waver, the wince well controlled by the time Duo looks around ]

But Song in my world can do many things - I may not be able to make a sword, but what I can do with the Song at need might as well be that.

[silverselfie]

'Fun' is a word for it!

[If anyone else from home new what Prompto was doing they'd never believe it! They might believe Reno could fall into that kind of a life, but they had to do what helped them get by, he supposed?

He was laughing though, almost slipping had his heart hammering.]

Well that woke me up! Uh yeah, sorry. What's it you wanted to do?

[pilot05]

Said about the man currently sporting a sparkly pink cloud as an accessory. Wufei laughed, too, giving his head a shake. "You're only unreasonable sometimes," he replied lightly, and grinned when he was warned against releasing bugs in the house. "But crickets are lucky. You wouldn't want to curse us to bad luck by refusing crickets, would you? It's like challenging the power of worse, but with cute little creatures that chirp lullabies."

[cultivatingdisaster]

Xie Lian.

[To not have to think of a fake name on the fly was always such a new and exciting experience. Xie Lian liked it very much. So he spoke his name with a smile and did his best to commit the name of his new friend to memory, though it was a strange kind of name.]

I'm also pleased. And grateful. Having someone who knows somewhat of what they're doing helps a great deal.

[pilot05]

There was that damn pink cloud again, sparking around Wufei's head right around the time Duo finished singing his praises, though it's tinged gray around the edges. "You really think so? Even though what I did was so... extreme?" he has a lot of guilt packed up around that whole situation with Barton and Mariemaia, and he's never really gotten around to unpacking all of that.

Especially since his usual method of dealing with guilt or emotional turmoil involves picking fights, and they've already agreed that he shouldn't do that anymore. He hasn't figured out what to do instead yet.

[maxwellsdaemon]

"I really think so." Duo sighed and just went and gathered his boyfriend up into his arms, sparkling cloud and all.

"We all did some shit we regret, Wu. You fucked up, you know you fucked up. But it was your mistake to make." And Duo honestly didn't think Wufei would do something like that again. It had been a learning experience that had made Wufei stronger. And in some ways weaker. His guilt was an anchor around the poor guys neck that weighed him down and Duo had no idea how to go about helping him remove it. All he could really do was love him and show him acceptance and hope it would be enough.
