[ VIDEO ] un: chocobro

[punshots]

[ It's mid-morning when this video goes live, the camera auto-focusing on Prompto's face as he kneels "steathily" in what appears to be a hallway, his back pressed up against the wall even as he grins stupidly at the screen. Prompto isn't one to easily be found in a bad mood, but he appears to be exceptionally giddy today. The reason why? Well...

In a hushed, excited whisper: ]

Heeeeeeeey. Hey! Heyyyyy! Goodest of good mornings to ya! I've got, like, a crazy big announcement to make! Wait for iiiiiiiit, just - okay, okay -

[ He starts creeping down the hall in his crouched position, as if he's approaching wildlife that should be considered dangerous. And this is certainly dangerous. Prompto swivels the camera's view around to face forward as he tiptoes to just outside the doorway to Alisaie's study, where she's just visible through the ajar door, sitting at her desk, reading out of a book and drinking from a steaming mug. She seems to be unaware of his presence...for now. ]

See her? I know, right? An actual elven goddess, as clever as she is brave and loyal, a hero to the people and a scholar - also, a total hottie. Okay, but get this - I - me, Prompto Argentum - asked her to marry me - hah - and she totally said yes!

[ The last word is spoken with such a feverish high pitch that only dogs could probably hear it. He moves around the doorway just a biiit more so he can attempt to focus in on the engagement ring Alisaie is wearing, which really just makes the picture as fuzzy as hell because he's still in the hallway, but whatever, it's there on her hand and it looks great in person!! ]

Check it - booya! Look at that rock! Oh man, you guys, it was sooooo romantic, there were rose petals and fireworks and birds were singing - probably -

[ Prompto turns the camera back on himself as he just sort of...slouches back against the wall and laughs nonsensically with a hand against his face, which might seem a tad concerning for anyone who doesn't know him, but this is just his way. ]

Oh, man - I still can't believe it! I don't even know the first thing about planning a wedding... [ Even if his best friend was supposed to get married back home, it's not like Noct was at all involved with the planning of it, so Prompto has no example to follow there! He also stops remembering to whisper riiight about now. ] Like - we need a DJ, right? Pretty sure we need a DJ. Anyone out there a sick DJ? Am I gonna have to take my own photos? Plus, we're gonna need the best cake imaginable 'cause Miss Sweet Tooth in there -

[ Of course, this is when the door to the study swings open wide, with Alisaie appearing in it as grave as a ghost with a look that could kill, and Prompto's phone goes clattering to the floor, providing a unique perspective on what will likely be his brutal murder. ]

Oh, crrrr - hi, sweetheart! I was just...

[ As he grabs for his phone again, the feed cuts out, RIP. ]

[ D'AWWWWWWWWW... he knew it was bound to happen. (well, officially.) he's proud of you, prompt-bro. ;; ]

Shotgun flower boy!!

[punshots]

Dude! It's yours. Like I would trust anyone else with such a solemn responsibility!

[ He throws flowers and stuff, right?? He's pretty sure Lance can handle that. ]

Couldn't've done it without your pep talk, man!

[ayes]

Whaaat?!

That's crazy! Ahhh, that's so exciting!

[punshots]

I know, right? It's like a dream come true...

[ He sighs like the Disney princess he is. ]

Hey - You! You're really good and planning stuff - you got any sweet wedding tips for a bro?

[originallutece]

I honestly don't know what you expected to happen when you filmed a woman in her sleep.

[. . .]

But congratulations, Prompto. I'm certain that once she's through killing you for your idiocy and impudence, she'll be very happy with you as her husband.

[punshots]

She wasn't sleeping! I think. Just - studious!

[ Look, he won't even begin to pretend like he has any idea what Alisaie does in her study. The diagrams in her grimoire are enough to make his head spin. Why does magic have so much math in it?! ]

But, uh - thanks! She'll probably be happier with me as a ghost, anyway.

[ He won't hog the bathroom so much. ]

[guidetoblivion]

[Wow, that's one hell of an announcement... definitely a good one though.]

Congratulations.

[Then, Riku adds a little more amused.]

Though… I'm pretty sure the first thing you need before a DJ is a priest of some kind.

[From you know. What little he knows about weddings, that's probably the about most important thing to have.]

[punshots]

Thanks, man! We're pretty thrilled ourselves!

[ Don't let his near-murder earlier fool you! ]

Oh - right! Gotta find someone to make it all official, huh...guess there's a lot of those in Wyver, but they're kindaaaa...

[ Well, they drink a lot of dragon blood, let's leave it at that. ]

[ Seems Prompto's news might've caught Duo in the middle of a late sleep by the looks of that undone braid - but for once the former Gundam pilot seems to be sleeping in some kind of house. But that's not the main focus of anything right now, is it? ]

Hey man, congrats..

When's the date and all?

[punshots]

Hah - thanks, Duo! It's -

[ ... ]

Actually, we gotta figure that out still. And, like, literally everything aside from "we're getting married".

[This is just the man you wanted responding to your excited network announcement heralding good news. Right? Right?]

Oh, a wedding. I do love weddings. I suppose some manner of congratulations are in order for the young couple in love.

[punshots]

[ Yeah, he probably should have expected this...WHATEVER, Ardyn isn't gonna ruin this for him!! ]

Thanks! You're not invited.

[ This is her first time using the communication device, so. Watch this magic, as the evil witch of the stage reverts back into a mild-mannered and technologically ignorant medieval exile. ]

Um... Reply, please! Where's the-- ah. Hello?

[ Several moments of dead air. Like, at least six. Then: ]

Congratulations on your impending nuptials, sir. May you both be happy in your life together. [ She smiles. His post really did charm her. ] If I may ask, what is a DJ?

[punshots]

[ Is she having a stroke? Should he call her an ambulance? Does Wyver even have ambulances?? ]

-- Oh! Thanks! Don't worry - we got the happy part covered. [ Despite his apparent murder. ] A DJ is a...what does it stand for, anyway? Uh - they're someone who plays music! A DJ is charged with the solemn task of finding the right tunes for special occasions. They can make or break the whole thing!

[ The DJ's importance cannot be overstated. ]

[ysayle]

[ Now this is a turn up for the books. To think Alisaie had been so unhappy with his departure at the start of the month... ]

T'would seem congratulations are in order. I had not realised the seriousness of your relationship.

[punshots]

[ That's not too surprising considering how Alisaie usually went catatonic anytime the word "boyfriend" was even mentioned... ]

Hah - surprise! I mean, I still can't really believe it's happening...

[ From the way he goes on, you'd think he was the one who was proposed to. ]

[izanyagi]

Congratulations!

[RIP tho. Yu still continues on his end, however...]

Do you think you will make it to your wedding alive?

[punshots]

[ Yu is asking the real questions here. ]

At this rate? Nnnnnope! But at least I'll die happy...

[beatupgrass]

[after a long hard stare] You're an embarrassment.

[punshots]

Pshhh - tell me somethin' I don't know, bud!

[ At least he has the excuse of a major life milestone this time...which is usually not the case. ]

You're gonna come, right?

[fisherwife]

How wonderful! Congratulations, Prompto. I'm glad you were able to find happiness here.

[Especially after all their chats about loneliness and such. It's nice to see]

[punshots]

Thanks, Mipha! Pretty crazy, huh? Took me by surprise, too.

[ All of it. But since they haven't talked in awhile... ]

By the way, how you been? We oughta catch up!

[manolia]

[Ah, young love!! Something in Chibi's heart pangs with a mixture of nostalgia and deeply-buried pain. This guy is just as stupid as he had been about Mina - like some part of him still is, and always will be.]

[With that said, he can't help but respond.]

The Goddess smiles upon you both, and even as a stranger to you both, so do I. [Then, gently, almost teasing:] You may want to learn the art of the flawless apology; it will aid you well in partnered life. Flower arrangement, perhaps.

[punshots]

Ah - yes. An ancient art Iiiii am quickly becoming an expert in.

[ Unsurprisingly, this isn't the first time he's inserted his foot in his mouth like this...comes with the territory. ]

Think it'll work if I just...throw more rose petals everywhere?

[ That is the extent of his flower arrangement knowledge. ]

video; un: a.leveilleur

[diplomatie]

[ THIS FEELS SO SOON TO HIM CONSIDERING HE JUST MET THE GUY. So he's in shock for a few moments as he watches the feed, trying to take in the information that his sister is betrothed to this guy. But this is still something that's important to his sister, so he's absolutely obligated to respond to this. Even if it's a little baffling. ]

I believe congratulations are in order. That is, provided you are still alive to receive them.

[ His sister did not look happy. When was she planning on telling him this, anyway? He'll have to ask her about that soon. When she's calmed down from this whole affair. He doesn't want to deal with her ire either. ]

[punshots]

[ I mean...it's kind of soon anyways?? But this all just kind of happened and Alphinaud definitely timed his arrival well.

(Not really.)

Prompto grins skittishly, but whether that's from Alphinaud's appearance or Alisaie's wrath is anyone guess. (It's probably both.) ]

Heh - still alive! For now, anyway. [ There's always tomorrow... ] Uh - actually, this is great! 'Cause I've been meaning to - wait, didn't she tell you?!

[ Alisaie???? ]

[yelliot]

<sub>[Gross...public displays of affection...

That said, it's kind of nice to see someone so happy. Elliot can't bash that. He knows enough about how a wedding is run just from osmosis from having to attend them and his inevitable own someday being an unfortunate thing to look forward to thanks to his noble status.]</sub>

Congratulations.

_{[Also...was that the elf girl who had helped him when he first arrived? Small world.]}

I don't know what DJ is but the structure of a wedding is pretty standard.

[punshots]

[ Look, he could've been way grosser about it...or, okay, probably not, because Alisaie would probably die before she let that happen, but still!

But ever the blushing...groom, Prompto is happy to receive congratulations - and any advice he can get. Most of what he knows about weddings is proooobably from movies. ]

Hey, thanks, man! [ BUT ONTO BUSINESS. ] You've never heard of a DJ? They rule the tunes! I mean, you can't have a wedding without some sweet tunes, right?

video; un: troyard

[terrantrash]

_{[Well that's sweet. It's nice to see someone so happy and in love, especially considering his own complicated love life. Maybe somewhere, in some distant parallel universe, Slaine could entertain the idea of ever getting the chance to be married to someone someday.]}

Congratulations. I'm sure you'll find people who can help you plan it...but the most important thing, I think, is making sure your vows are perfect.

[punshots]

[ Hey, sometimes a distant parallel universe is all it takes! How special this is isn't lost on him, though. Really, he still doesn't know how in the world he got so lucky. ]

Man, I'm with you there! Can you imagine, getting up there and sayin' something like..."I vow I won't hog all the hot water in the shower"? Actually, she'd probably appreciate that.

...A-anyway, we already kinda got a jump-start on the vows!

[ Thanks for that, Volkkran Pact. ]

[agradecido]

So many betrothal announcements lately. [The suspect legitimacy of the previous one aside, of course.] Truly this is the season of love.

You are alive still, yes?

[punshots]

[ ...Well, he could answer this right away, but why not drum up the drama a little bit?

After waiting a few moments, Prompto makes a sort of "spooky" ghost noise before speaking. ]

Nah, man. I'm a ghost. Now I gotta plan a funeral instead!

[ How macabre. ]

video; un: crimson duelist

[verflair]

I have verraise on standby, should you need it after the throttling she's going to give you.

[ Sorry about your untimely demise Prompto. He'd be worried except he's smiling far, far too much. ]

Congratulations to you both.

[punshots]

That as good as a Phoenix Down? Miiiight have to keep you speed dial...

[ Because let's be real, this isn't going to be the first and only time that Prompto is liable to be throttled by Alisaie through all this. ]

Seriously, though - thanks. Pretty crazy, huh?

[unweave]

Oh gods, please don't tell me you knocked her up and this is a shotgun wedding. Do you even use shotguns?!

[ I mean, technically, his FF13versus self did..? Whatever, she's busting his ass. ]

A little long, but I guess you got the point across. Congrats, blondie.

[punshots]

[ Well, if Alisaie didn't kill him, Aranea will with commentary like this. At the very least, his face lights up like a traffic light, and unsurprisingly, he's stammering like a moron. ]

I, uh, see - no? - deeeeefinitely not - either of those things... [ Oh god, he better not knock her up, THEY'RE NOT READY FOR THAT ] I-I mean, there'll still be guns - y'know, my arms? H-heh...heh...

[ Nice save. (Not really.) ]

-- What I'm tryin' to say is - thanks, Aranea. Oh - you should be a bridesmaid!

[ THAT'S NOT UP TO HIM ]

[adelphoi]

[ here it comes, his death on the way. prompto's phone bounces out of his hand, and alisaie's foot comes right down on it, pinning it in place. she's only wearing socks, so it'll be fine, but she's definitely not giving it back any time soon.. ]

What are you doing, Prompto?

[punshots]

[ Ah. Well, it was nice while it lasted, he's had a good run, remember him fondly...

He scrambles upright quickly, looking rather like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He's not really sure what he expected to happen - she was bound to catch on, after all - buuuut it never would have worked if he told her beforehand! And look, they both know it, she never would have stood and faced the camera for a proper engagement announcement...

He's dead. ]

Iiiii dunno why you think I was doin' anything! I mean...wh-what... what d'you want for breakfast? Also, definitely don't check your phone?

[ This is so convincing. ]

CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm so happy for you both! Alisaie is lovely, and very -... [Hang on, what's a polite way of saying it?] ... spirited!

[punshots]

[ Yes, spirited is certainly one way to put it...it's a wonder that Prompto has survived this long in a relationship with her, honestly. ]

Spirited! I'm gonna remember that one next time she gets, uh - well, spirited. [ A beat. ] Thanks, man. You a friend of hers?

[unprays]

— oh!

[ her surprise is evident on her face, but it soon melts into genuine happiness. marriages are not a particularly happy subject to her, but knowing her friend is going to be married to someone he loves fills her with a wistful kind of gladness. ]

My congratulations on your betrothal. I hope all the happiness for you and your lady. If there is anything I can help with, when it comes to the preparations, please, let me know.

[punshots]

[ Prompto is all smiles when he responds. Sansa's surprise isn't unexpected - there are so very many things surprising about this - but it does make him chuckle affably. ]

Hey, thanks, Sansa! I hope so, too. [ But...since she offered... ] Do...you happen to know, like, anything about planning a wedding?

[ Because guess who doesn't! ]

[ Hey, long time no see! But Prompto never forgets a face, so he grins back at Clarke, jubilant as ever. ]

Heh - thanks! Pretty crazy, right? [ He knows. ] Guess you didn't have a high demand for disc jockeys back where you're from, huh?
