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?"

Weiss straightened up as if that was clearly the correct answer and she didn't need to keep arguing, focusing instead on adding herself to Jaune's scroll before handing it back. At least this way, if they were separated Jaune would be able to know if she was okay or not. It'd probably help him worry less, and it'd help her have someone to watch her back even if something happened.
"I'll ask him whenever I run into him again. I'd like to know more about your world." Spirit Guardians sounded like another thing on Weiss's long list of things to be nosy about. "Is it a spirit like a ghost or something else?"
Weiss seemed like Jaune's story was a lot less believable to her than Prompto was taking them. Her eyebrow was quirked and she crossed her arms at that point. "That sounds fake and I don't exactly trust a man who intentionally starts fights with my sister for no reason other than that he's too inebriated to behave like a respectable human being."
no subject
Look he could continue arguing about this forever if she let him. He's probably debated over more random subjects with his sisters. When he realizes what Weiss did with his scroll, he smiles and looks relieved.
"If he is a ghost then he's the cutest spirit guardian person ever." He doesn't quite understand what a spirit guardian is, but it sounds like a cute intagible pet.
Jaune didn't disagree with her. He didn't trust Qrow at all and he hated having to depend on someone who was almost, if not just, as bad as Ozpin. "I don't trust him either, but with Oz dead he's all we got." Yep, he's shortened it to Oz. Authority figures who get innocent teenagers murdered don't get full names. Glancing back to Prompto, he relaxes, if only a fraction. "I guess they could. But they're worried about them falling into the wrong hands. Because they're so powerful, if someone with bad intentions was to gather them all, they could use them for destruction instead of protection."
no subject
And it was something relatively new to Prompto himself. Noctis and the rest of the group hadn't been surprised when a divine messenger just appeared. Prompto was just a pleb. He didn't deal with this stuff until recently.
"So just anyone can use the items if they find them? There isn't a certain family dedicated to handling them?"
It sounded... kind of chaotic. If anyone could grab them and use them at any time, how did they keep the world in order?
no subject
Weiss is crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes at Jaune. This is clearly a very serious argument, in which Prompto should probably not get between if he has any level of common sense. The fact is, Jaune and Weiss are both morons, even if Weiss is academically smarter about it.
The fact that she was imagining a rabbit with a little mail satchel and hat probably would've attested to that if she'd shared. Messenger rabbit is carbuncle, got it.
"Prompto, it's a fairy tale. There are loads of them, it doesn't make it real. If there really were items like that around, I would think people would constantly be at war over them. They'd at least be noted in some kind of textbook, and the man who told Jaune that story is a drunk lech with no concept of respect for others. He made the whole room stink when he visited Ruby and Yang. He's not what you'd call a credible source."
The question of how they would keep the world in order is the one that makes Weiss more skeptical than anything.
