[ VIDEO ] un: chocobro

[ 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. ]

[ 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?

Hah - thanks, Duo! It's -

[ ... ]

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

[ There's a little laugh there, Duo blowing his bangs out of his face. ]

Hey, gotta start somewhere. I'm not a party planner but I'm sure with everyone put together we'll have one hell of a party on our hands.

Awwww yeah, man, that's the spirit! It can't be all the hard, anyway, right?

[ #famouslastwords ]

I mean I'd hope so but these places are also kinda.. you know. Back water compared to what we're used to. But I'm sure if we wanna make it happen it'll happen. If you wanna see about getting anything just let me know.. I know people who know people.. that kinda deal.

[ ... ]

Right. That kinda deal. [ Glancing to the side... ] You mean...like...fireworks?

[ Is Duo offering to get him illegal fireworks??? ]

Dude I could make you the most bomb ass fireworks you've ever seen. [ That's a promise ]

They're a lot less volatile than bombs, anyways. I enjoy making those.

[ Holy shit. Holy shit. ]

Dude. This is gonna be the most lit wedding of all time.

[ Get it? Lit??? Because the fireworks???? ]

Oh my god.. save me the puns man I'll make your fireworks. Just let me know on colors and stuff once that's all decided.

[ Though - ]

Not to be a ball buster but uh.. probably plan it for a while out? Just in case anything goes to shit between Wyver and Olympia after the whole ship downing and all.

Gotcha. I'll get back to you on that.

[ His laughter peters out, but his smile doesn't fade. Duo definitely has a point, and it's not lost on Prompto. Getting engaged had been kind of a yolo move, but things are already hectic enough as they are. ]

Nah, you got a point there. Miiight put a damper on the whole "special day" if there's a battle goin' on right outside the door.

Yeah.. give me some time to source the stuff too. Don't know if everything's the same on an alien planet as it is on my Earth and all that good stuff.. [ Duo smiles, fluffing at his bangs for a moment, but not venturing to undo his braid just yet to get it redone. Some of his fingers are bandaged, mainly to protect them while Mipha's healing works its magic and finishes up. ]

Or just wait til I get my mobile suit and you guys can get married under Deathscythe. If your fiancee would be good with that.

[ Predictably, Prompto's face lights right up. ]

I dunno if she would, but I sure as hell would be!

[ Just imagine it, getting married under a giant space mech...that's the dream, right there.

After a moment, though, his eyes narrow. Those bandages didn't escape his notice. ]

Dude, what happened to your hands?

Well, make sure with your girl first. Hate to get left at the giant mecha altar for lack of checking things over with her.. [ Duo laughs lightly at the mental image, even though it wouldn't be at all funny in the actual circumstance. Leave it to him to probably tell whoever he'd marry at the end of it that it has to happen at the feet of Deathscythe's skeleton or something. Duo doesn't doubt he'd insist on that one bit.

He takes a look at his hands after Prompto mentions it, as if checking nothing was too terrible, and shrugs. ]

Went on a mission for Aranea to bring back this little girl that'd been kidnapped and kinda got chased down a sheer rock face by a big ass bird? Shredded my hands a little doing a controlled drop to dodge the thing..

Mipha mostly healed me up but she said they'd be sensitive for a few days so I wrapped 'em to be sure..

[ He shrugs, totally casual about giving himself what amounts to bad road rash on his fingers. ]

Got me a fat sack of silver though so.. I ain't mad.

Riiiiiight. I think from here on out I'm just gonna...check with her first on everything.

[ Considering she was Not Happy about the existence of this broadcast in the first place, he probably shouldn't take any more chances. They've only been engaged for a few days. She could still break it off!!!

Better safe than sorry. But anyway, now he's leaning forward, hanging on every word of Duo's tale. ]

Damn! Seriously? That...[ sounds painful as hell, but also ]...is so badass, dude. Guess you found the girl, then?

Probably a good idea. [ Duo laughs, again puffing unruly bangs out of his face. He should probably find somewhere or someone to give him a trim, when he can. ]

Yeah. Actually like... had her shove herself in to my back pack to get her down, honestly. Not the smartest but also not the worst... No way I could carry her myself, anyways...

[ But he doesn't seem bothered by it, frowning for a moment in concentration at something off screen before focusing back on Prompto. ]

At least when I finally got this place I didn't have a lot of stuff to move. Would've made the hands a bigger problem.

[ It's pretty exciting, like something out of a movie, and Prompto can just picture Duo sliding down a rock face with a girl in his backpack...freakin' epic. ]

Glad it was worth it. You got a new place?

[ Movin' on up, Duo? ]

[ He's such a little action hero. Just needs a few more self made bombs and a request for his damn helicopter invention back and then he'll be able to jump off of tall things as carelessly as h and Heero had been since literally forever. ]

Uh.. got a place in general, actually. [ he's been either stealing a place with Mika and his boys or just.. sleeping where ever before now. But Heero's injured, and it means that they need a solid place to be. ]

My friend's back.. the one who was here then went on ice? And he got injured in the crash from before, so... he needed a safe place to hang until he heals up and I guess even I get tired of sleeping out in the open after a while now.

Oh, yeah?

[ Prompto leans forward. It's always good to hear about people who went back on ice waking up again. It gives him more hope for that someday happening for his friends, too. If Duo's friend came back, then it's probably only a matter of time for Noct and the others, right?

Right. ]

Heh - well, congrats. Both on the new digs and getting your friend back. If there's anything I can do to help him get better, let me know.

[ Aside from healing spells, 'cause he can't do that. ]

Mmhmm.. pissed as a wet cat about how the ship came down but I think that goes without saying.. [ Duo sighs, not too pleased with either side in this bickering match at the moment. But Heero is alive and well enough, so he supposes he can't really bitch all that much. They've been through worse together than some broken ribs and healing time. at the end of the day as Gundam Pilots. ]

Well unless you got the healing hands like Mipha I don't know what else might work.. [ A little laugh. ]

I'm trying to work out a way to meet up with her though so.. we'll see..

Nah. I haven't unlocked that spell quiiiite yet. Might be a good thing, though, or else everyone would be asking me for healing! I don't wanna be that character...

[ They all know the one, the character who always get asked to heal...but he's barely got a grasp on the two spells he did lean from Alisaie. Healing is a whole different story from destruction spells. ]

Hope you can catch her. She does good work!

[ His non-broken ribs still thank her to this day, and Mipha is first on his speed dial anytime he needs to refer someone to a healer. ]

Yeah I don't think I'd have the focus for that kinda thing.. last thing you need is shit hooked up sideways or something and then someone's screwed because I lost focus for like two seconds..

[ Duo laughs at the mental image of it all, even, one nerve hooked up wrong or something to that effect. Really, his concern with his hands had been getting his hair braided and fixed.

... Yes, #priorities. ]

She does, that's for sure. My hands and hair thank her..

So what're your plans for not getting cut up before you even have the chance to get married, hm? Since she doesn't seem too happy with your announcement.

[ Ah...that is the real question, isn't it? ]

Yeeeaaah, she, uh...she wasn't, like, super happy about it...but I came out the other side unscathed. So far, anyway.

[ It probably wasn't a sleeping-on-the-couch offense, but he'll use a little more forethought next time he needs to make an announcement to the world at large. Including family members that should have been told beforehand. But that's not entirely on him! ]

Listen, she knows where you sleep, buddy. [ He laughs, joking about it all, obviously. He doesn't really know Prompto's better half at all, so there's no way he can gauge that, but.. well.. someone had to keep him in line, right? ]

Might be best to just nod your head and agree with everything for the next few days though. Smooth it out a little.

Heh - good call. [ Until Alisaie catches on and exploits it, which she probably will... ] Lay low until the smoke blow's over.

You ever met her? I bet you'd get along famously.

[ They're both firecrackers, in their own way. Oooor maybe that means they'd drive each other crazy... ]

Yeah.. best way I've learned to deal with a woman who's mad at you. [ He might've learned that between the nun who raised him and Hilde who wouldn't hesitate to bludgeon him, but eventually Duo had learned. Mostly to be an ass and get away with whatever he wants, but that's.. well, that's just Duo Maxwell. ]

Uhh... nah, not that I remember and I can usually remember a face.. [ Habit, really. Part of training - ]

I'll have to meet her so I know what she wants out of these fireworks so I don't get my ass handed to me I guess, huh?
