Week 4

[After everything that this case was, you probably don't want to deal with anything else. But you wake up on Sunday, just like before, with some new memories, and some new stores to check out.

Let's see what this week brings.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday


(( Don't forget to check in, and check your memory regains! You can also stop by the gacha machine and Xander's office hours. ))

Sure did.

[ ok ]

He would've complained at me until I did it. Loudly. Would've probably kicked my ass in training, too.

...just what was this "special ingredient" that was so important?

[Cup noodle is cup noodle, bro.]
nightcure: (a premonition)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-02-25 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
An egg.

[ mmmyep. ]

[personal profile] induality 2018-02-25 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
An egg... you had to climb a mountain for?

[E G G.]

W-what kind of world do you live in?!
nightcure: (bros on the road)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-02-25 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair, it was a really good egg.
induality: (pic#6505549)

[personal profile] induality 2018-02-25 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It's still just an egg.

[...]

Are all of your friends weirdly particular about food?

[Because that's two now.]
nightcure: (neverending nightmare)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-02-27 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Prompto isn't that picky, but he eats pretty healthy.

[ He shrugs, looking at the noodles. ]

Honestly, I didn't do it just because of the egg. I did it because Gladio's been there for me, protecting me. He doesn't take my shit, and he doesn't pull punches. He's one of my best friends.

So... yeah, I'd climb a mountain for the idiot to make sure he gets the perfect Cup Noodle.

[personal profile] induality 2018-02-27 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.]

...yeah, I get that.

[Doing something stupid for a friend...]

The city I was living in-- is in bad shape. My friend and I went through a lot to be able to get out of there while we were being pursued. But then, when it was over... she decided she wanted to help fix things. I couldn't believe what she was saying.

...I didn't want to, but I knew I couldn't leave her alone.

Th-that's why we can't die here. Y-you have to go back to them-- to Ignis, Prompto and Gladio. And I... I have to make sure Komaru's doing okay.
nightcure: (ravus aeterna)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-03-01 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
... You're a good kid, Touko. You know what's important. I'm sure your friend appreciates you giving her a hand, yeah?

[ ...

Noctis's expression turns... different. It's more somber than she's seen before. ]


I'm not too worried about getting back to them.

[personal profile] induality 2018-03-01 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I would hope so.

[She acts like it's an obvious inconvenience that Komaru should be grateful to have her accept. But it's just that-- an act.

...ah. That immediately gives her a bad feeling. She doesn't know what to expect only that it hurts her just to know it's coming.
]

...why... do you say that...?
nightcure: (dawn)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-03-01 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...... ]

It's pretty heavy. You sure you want to hear about it?
induality: (pic#6538308)

[personal profile] induality 2018-03-01 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
...I've gotten surprisingly used to heavy conversation when it comes to conversing with a Lucis Caelum.
nightcure: (over the waves)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-03-01 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hah. You've got a point.

Let's find somewhere to sit down, alright?
induality: (pic#6484153)

[personal profile] induality 2018-03-01 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[They can make themselves comfy in the kitchen of Soup. There's probably somewhere to sit around there.]
nightcure: (the last bastion)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-03-01 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Once he's taken his seat... ]

You know I'm a king, yeah? My world... there's something called Starscourge. It's a pretty serious thing, and it's been around for a while. A long while. Anyway... They said there was to be a Chosen King who could "purge our star of its scourge."

I'm the Chosen King. And I managed to do it. I managed to bring back the light, but at a cost: my life.

I'm dead back home, so I don't really have much to go back to. But as long as the guys and the rest of the world are alright, then that's just fine with me.
induality: (pic#10667022)

[personal profile] induality 2018-03-01 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Star...scourge?

[Of course she'd never heard of it. It was certainly the kind of name that was chosen to inspire fear if you asked her. But it sounded fantastical to her.]

So... you sacrificed yourself to get rid of this... Starscourge, whatever it is?

[Lucis Caelum might as well stand for "selfless idiot attracting misfortune".]

...but... if you survive... you could have a second chance. [...] I can't believe I'm saying this, but... these assholes keep trying to cheat death, dragging people back into their stupid games... maybe... something good could come out of the damn thing...
nightcure: (stand by me)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-03-01 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I don't regret it, either.

[ .... ]

A second chance, huh. It's tempting, but... I'm worried if I go back, all that might be undone. It's probably ridiculous, but it's not exactly something I want to risk.

It's a sacrifice for a reason. And I don't have any regrets. The guys-- they know that, too.
induality: (pic#12010643)

[personal profile] induality 2018-03-01 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
...oh.

[Her heart falls heavy. She's silent for a short, uncomfortable moment while that sinks in. She gets it. Even if he did show up, what kind of life is left for him there? It's a lot of uncertainty.

She bites her lip hard and--
]

You... could come with me to Towa City.

[As soon as it's out her mouth she almost looks like she regrets blurting it out but--]

...i-it's nothing special, and you probably wouldn't want to but... you... could... if you wanted to.
nightcure: (mirrorcoated)

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-03-01 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah.

He looks at her, and truthfully? He's stunned. But... they had been close, hadn't they? Or he remembers starting to get close to her. For several moments he's unsure what to say, because words fail him too many times.

Just spit it out. ]


... Haha. I'd like that a lot, Touko. I just have a question.
induality: (pic#6484153)

[personal profile] induality 2018-03-01 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't help it that it just... felt like the right thing to say right then. But she sure does get anxious when he says he has a question-- even if he did say he'd like that.]

...sure. What is it?
