Day 2 - Around the Island
Who: Prompto, OTA
What: Exploring and survival
When: Day 2
Where: Different places around the island
Warnings: Dumb boy
Early Morning - Oatmeal - Around Weiss' camp, OTA
As promised, Prompto went to seek out Weiss' camp with some freshly made - and sugary! - oatmeal. The way Ignis worked out perfectly good and normal meals with so few ingredients amazed him. If it was him, he'd probably be trying to figure out how sugar was supposed to go with beef.
But there he was, calling out Weiss' name with a small pot of still warm but quickly cooling oatmeal. A piece of cloth had been thrown over it in an attempt to keep in the heat. She had said she didn't know when she would be leaving in the morning. Hopefully she'd still be around.
Morning - Survival Fruit and Veggie hunting - OTA
Food was a top priority for obvious reasons. Noctis had his fishing. Ignis had his cooking. Laurent seemed to be a hunter of sorts. Nyx had the ability to lounge around with his shirt off. That left the ever popular fruits and veggies.
He'd seen much of the beach and coastal areas the day before, so he searched further inland and managed to find a palm tree with a bundle of coconuts waaaay at the top. If he wasn't short on ammo he'd have just shot them down, but he couldn't be so reckless with their limited supplies.
Instead, he could be found painstakingly improvising his way up the trunk.
Exploration - How wide is this island? - OTA
After a comfortable stash of food and drink was put aside for that day, the ever present need to figure out their dilemma rose. For the time being Ignis had chosen to stay behind, but Prompto went on ahead with everyone else who had decided to see how long it took to reach the other end of the island.
There were precautions, of course. Should the island be so wide that they couldn't make it to the other end in a reasonable amount of time, they were to head back so that they wouldn't be caught in the dark. Beyond that, it was mostly a matter of safety in numbers. No one would wander off and get lost, right?
Evening - Night at the Ruins - Open to Women and Kids
Like a good boy, Prompto was back at the ruins by evening. It was the only place with solid shelter they had thus far, and with Iggy in such poor shape it wouldn't have been a good idea to go camping in the wilderness without any camping gear.
The chill of the night air rose, and after keeping to himself for some time he finally got to his feet and walked over.
"Hey... You look cold," he said as he shrugged off his thick winter coat and offered it.
Evening - Night at the Ruins - Open to dudes
For a while Prompto could be found tucked into a corner, quietly trying to get his phone to work. It would've been nice to place some King's Knight with Noct... They didn't have a place to plug their phones in, but maybe he could hook it up to a Leiden potato or something.
While he was putting his phone away a burst of wind cut through the ruins, creating a haunting howl. Prompto tensed up, scrunching up tighter until the wail subsided. Glancing at the man next to him, he asked with a forced smile, pretending that he wasn't bothered at all. "Hey, you, uh, don't think these ruins are haunted, do you?"

"'S neat. That sorta thing's jus' common in yer world?"
The Mancers would go absolutely nuts for something like that. Especially the fact that it's common enough that this guy's word for "writing" is "texting." People changed whole words for this thing. Neat.
He chuckles a bit.
"Don' need t'be solid muscle. Yer wiry. Got energy. Goes a long way."
It occurs to him that he hasn't even introduced himself yet. Where are his manners? He's spent too much time around Rucks.
He holds out his hand.
"Name's Kid."

Now he really wished he could get it to work because then he could show Kid all the neat things it could do. Prompto was an expert at wasting time playing on his phone. "Yeah, pretty much everyone has one. I mean, stuff from the Crown City was more advanced than stuff outside the wall, but people still had phones outside." Just not as good. Like their cars and everything else. Excitement built up in his voice talking about it. "And, if your friends have phones, too, you can play games together. There's tons of games you can play... We mostly played King's Knight when we camped out. If I get it working I'll show you how to play."
It was all, perhaps, a bit ambitious. Prompto liked technology and he was pretty good with it, and he just wanted to share something he loved in a friendly gesture. A little more comfortable, and getting a bit bouncy in his spot from enthusiasm, he answered Kid's comment on his figure with some false confidence, "Yeah, I try."
Hell, it just felt good to be recognized. He worked really damn hard to get into shape.
back from hiatus, feel free to ignore
"Nice to meet ya."
It really does all sound fascinating. Kid almost wishes he could have seen a world like that. He also appreciates just how much energy this guy seems to have. It reminds him a little of Zia when she's in her best moods.
"Ain't have nothin' like that at home. Sports, card games, suchlike. Y'wanted t'talk t'someone, ya had to go find 'em, or write a letter."
And that was assuming you knew how to write at all. Most people did, but certainly not all of them. Kid only ever learned enough reading and writing to get by, and to interpret any messages the other Masons or the Marshals sent him.
"I'll look ya up once I figger about actually buildin' stuff 'round 'ere."
Re: back from hiatus, feel free to ignore
Very simple, but nice with good friends. He smiled. "It'll be like a trade for teaching me how to build some stuff."
no subject
He must have said it wrong. He does that a lot. He knows he's not so good at talking.
"Wouldn' mind learnin' cards from other worlds, though."
no subject
Maybe it was a foolish thing to ask for, but when they were journeying they'd always played little things like that together at night.
no subject
"Sounds great. Should do that."
Shall we wrap this up?
He nodded with a soft sound between a hum and a huff. Course he didn't mean it as a real 'date'. Just passing time between friends.
