[ 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. ]

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?

Hah - guess so. [ And so Prompto doesn't get in trouble for wanting fireworks at their wedding in the first place. He doesn't think Alisaie will disapprove, but after his most recent faux pas, it couldn't hurt to be just a bit more cautious. }

I can tell you right now, though - she's gonna want 'em red.

[ She's got a thing for red. Probably because, you know, red mage. ]

[ A smart plan. Not every woman was capable of keeping her cool with guys like them, and they should be rewarded for it at least occasionally he thinks. Poor Hilde hadn't gotten very many rewards for being with his pain in the ass habits, so he should fix that if she ever woke up out of deep freeze. ]

Red huh? So whatever this planet's version of strontium carbonate is.. [ Duo you probably shouldn't be throwing out terms like that so easily. ]

Hm... have to find a way to ask around town about that. If these people haven't started making fireworks we're gonna have to do a little more research.

[ Not that Duo is opposed to going on a trip for science's sake.

[ Strontium carbonate...sure, sure, whatever you say, man...he totally knows what that means... ]

Now that you mention it, guess I haven't really seen any fireworks shows...but if any place is gonna have 'em, it's Wyver.

[ There's got to be some around here somewhere, right? ]

I'll gladly be the inventor of fireworks for this joint.. [ Duo laughs at the idea, though, not really believing the place to be so behind in that way. There's no way that they have dragons but not things that blow up and make colors, right? If Wyver didn't, he'd bet that Olympia did if only to show off that they could - ]

Leave the leg work to me. Need something to do in my off time anyways.

Heh - you got it. I seriously owe you for this! Still! If you need anyone houndin' down fireworks parts with you, just gimme a ring.

[ This is going to be the best wedding ever. ]

Eh, don't worry about it! Gives me something fun to do on the side. [ Not that his missions with Aranea were boring or anything like that, just.. maybe it was a little taste of home in a way. That sounded strange and he knew it, so he doesn't share it, tucking that one away for himself. ]

Just keep your ears peeled I guess! Hear anything about people mining minerals or whatever it could be a good lead... Though come to think of it I haven't noticed a lot of them around..

[ Though, wait a sec - he laughs at himself. ] But then again I'm always.. looking at the fruit instead..
