When you have a spare moment, Noct, there's something I'd like to speak to you about.

text;

[nascere]

Sure, what's up?

[claritatis]

I believe I've been somewhat remiss in my failure to introduce you to someone since you arrived. Her name is Kate. Have you come across her?

[nascere]

Been busy trying not to get killed in this place and figuring out a way to get us all home safe, Iggy.

Who's that?

text. after love's post.

[odinbolt]

Are you going?

( She is, she just wants to know who else is. )

[nascere]

[ he was about to text you! ]

Yeah, are you? Could be dangerous.

[odinbolt]

I know. But it could be our only chance to find out more.

( Also she's really handy with magic and a bow. )

PRETEND IT'S BEEN TEXTSPEAK ALL ALONG

[nascere]

yeah
u got any weapons?

text; belated slightly

[lunarie]

( it is late in the afternoon when umbra appears to noctis wherever he might be. he is wearing a familiar strap of cloth, carrying their new notebook and looking a bit downcast from his usual excitable behavior whenever he spies noctis about the city.

inside the notebook there is none of her usual sketches to greet him, instead simple words written in her usual steady hand— )

Ravus has, to my knowledge, seemingly left this world. I cannot find any trace of him nor can Umbra or Pryna. It is almost as if he was never here.

[ hey, boy! noctis kneels down to meet him, rubbing the back of his ears and giving him a treat from his pocket -- he's keeping treats now, since luna tends to eschew technology and keep to their habit. but he notices, however, that the dog's usually a little more downcast.

he's giving him another treat, just to cheer him up. taking the notebook from him, he flips it open and frowns at the text before penciling something in. ]

Heard it happens a lot. Maybe he'll come back soon. Are you okay?

[ he tucks the book back into the little saddle, giving umbra little scritches underneath his muzzle. He'll wait for the response. ]

text, after the planet shift.

[odinbolt]

( Well, at least the shops on the east island have supplies in them. But not all that many. She might have to see what else she can find. )

Do you think there's fish in the water?

( Serah did not anticipate Noct's fishing lessons coming in handy like this, but if she can find (or cobble together) a fishing rod, why not? )

[nascere]

We should find out. You okay? Where are you?

[odinbolt]

I'm okay. I was at home. I'm on the island with the hot springs.
What about you?

[nascere]

oh
same

[ maybe he's relieved???? ]

voice; after the move (sorry I'm laaate ;;)

[claritatis]

[Ignis contacts Noctis almost immediately, managing to keep most of his concern out of his voice even if a subtle amount of strain still shows through.

He does not like this. It's not supposed to happen.]

Noct. Are you safe?

[nascere]

[ oh, but it's a relief hearing from him. noctis was just about to call. He can sense it, the strain in his voice, no matter how much Ignis tries to keep it hidden. Who does he think he's kidding? ]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. What about you?

[claritatis]

[Noct's impossible for him to fool, but there's still not a chance he's going to let on the full extent of how frustrated he is at the moment.]

I'm fine. Where are you?

[nascere]

Um -- the island with the hot springs? I'm not sure which one that is. Where are you? Are you here, too?

text; | October 5th-ish | some stupid time like 2am

[claritatis]

Are you awake?

[nascere]

i'm awake, what's up?
you okay?

[claritatis]

Yes, fine.

[But then--]

No, in fact, I don't think I am.

[nascere]

what
what's wrong

voice; not long after Hope's post

[claritatis]

What do you think of our options?

voice;

[nascere]

[ yeah, he's definitely been reading the thing. ]

We've never done things the easy way, have we?

[ you already know his answer, ignis. ]

[claritatis]

[He chuckles warmly.]

Not if we can help it. The prospect of potential information is tempting.
