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?"

It was strange how quickly he fell into step with the younger man, how easily the group seemed to have welcomed him in. Sure it helped that he knew Ignis prior, but Nyx had never expected to be so readily accepted. He'd spent too many years feeling the eyes and whispers of 'outsider' from the people of Insomnia that weren't members of the Glaive and...
And well. That family turned out to be full of traitors.
"Doesn't look as dirty as I expected. Probably not clean enough to drink right away, but we could always boil it if we're in a pinch."
no subject
Friendly warning, though whether he'd be able to or not was yet to be seen. He was one of the Crownsguard, but he didn't exactly have the training the other two did, and he was a relative newbie. There was a reason why his weapon of choice had been a gun.
"The water looks clean enough to use as a bath sometimes. I wonder if the river starts somewhere on the mountain. Don't they say water from the top of the mountain is the best? Or is that just an advertising gimmick?" City boy with his bottled water.
Forming a small scoop with his hand, he splashed some water at Nyx. The island could be a pretty hot, muggy place anyway. He was just helping! Really.

So focused is he on trying to find the source of the water that he didn't see what Prompto was up too until the water hit him. Then he blinked, looking from where the little splash had landed and back to Prompto.
Then he raised an eyebrow.
Then he dipped his hand into the water splashing the youngest of the Crownsguard right back.

"If we're not climbing today, I guess that means either following the river this way or finding a way across. We can't see how wide the island is unless we go across the river..."
And it was decently wide, but there was clearly more island on the other side. Definitely not the end of the island they were looking for. He got up and started walking along it idly. Even if they were exploring, he wasn't necessarily pushing himself as hard as possible. They could save that energy for life threatening situations.
"Hey, does it look like there's some sort of... Buildings or something over there?"
