Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

But you are the youngest.

[photoshooter]

It doesn't count if it's less than a year.

[stillstands]

Depends on when in the year. It could be the difference between 2nd or 3rd year of high school.

[photoshooter]

Well, I'm twenty, so it really doesn't matter! And Noct and I were in the same year of school anyway, so it extra doesn't matter.

[stillstands]

[Wow.]

This is a delicate subject for you, isn't it?

[photoshooter]

You'd be sensitive about it too if you'd ever been lifted with one hand by a guy only three years older than you.

[stillstands]

...

[Well your profile does say that you weigh as much as, what was it, two grapes...?]

With one hand?

[Yikes. Your friend could probably juggle her.]

[photoshooter]

I'm pretty sure Gladio's actually, like, part behemoth. Nothing else makes sense.

[stillstands]

And those are big...?

[Behemoth??]

[photoshooter]

Huge. Ginormous.

[He spreads his hands to demonstrate, though of course that comes nowhere near to illustrating the monstrous mass of a massive monster.]

[stillstands]

[It seems... appropriately big? She gets the idea at least.]

Does your friend know you compare him to huge, ginormous behemoths when he's not around?

[photoshooter]

That maaaaay or may not have been what I was doing right before the one-handed grabbing incident.

[stillstands]

... So you goaded him into it.

[photoshooter]

I didn't know he could hear me from way up there!

[stillstands]

[She actually laughs at that - congratulations Prompto, you got plus one chuckle out of her.]

That was a miscalculation. Just because they're taller doesn't mean their ears aren't working.
