Have you seen my childhood~~

[this_loser]

Who: Prompto and You
Broadcast: No
Action: First Breath, Iskaulit
When: Now

[Prompto wakes up in his room on the First Breath. Only the room is not known to him. His clothes don’t fit right. And there are two dogs that he definitely does not own – his parents would never allow that – though one is strikingly familiar.]

…Pryna?

[He receives a bark and a circle dance as confirmation.

She is the only reason he gets up the nerve to peek out of the room, and then wander cautiously around the ship, his every step slow and dragging.

Later, he finds his way to the Iskaulit, where things are no less confusing. He hasn’t seen a single familiar face. It’s daunting and scary, so he keeps one hand on the fluffy white dog at all times. Good thing he found that camera in the room. It may not be his, but it’s comforting to have all the same. Anyway, Pryna had made weird motions at it like he was supposed to take it, and who is he to deny a precious animal?]




((OOC: Prompto’s been glitched to his childhood, and without his memories of the fleet. He can be found wandering the First Breath or the Iskaulit. Help a kid out!))

[His question gets a shake of her head.]

No, not really. Everyone here is from different places. We already have space travel where I'm from.

[Man, this is a little stranger than she was anticipating.]

Are you hungry? There's a nice place to get some food where I can answer more questions if you'd like. My treat.

[Kaname pets the dogs again.] And for your friends too, of course.

[this_loser]

Oh.

[He looks a little awed by that. Space travel is just movies and TV shows.

A hand goes to his stomach and he nods ever so slightly. Though...]

I'm not supposed to go anywhere with strangers. [But everyone he's seen so far is a stranger, so what he supposed to do about that? Anyway, he is hungry, and finding food is one thing he hasn't figured out yet.] But ... okay. Thank you.

[axi]

You're welcome. [Kaname stands up and takes a step back.] I think these two can tell you who's good and who's not. Animals have good instincts about that.

[Except Q-Lulu probably.]

It's this way. [She turns and makes a small motion for him to follow.]

What do you like to eat?

[this_loser]

I guess so. [He lays a hand on each one.] They aren't mine, though. They were just with me when I woke up.

[He shuffles after her. Burgers are his favorite, but he's been trying very hard to eat healthier things. So he asks:] Is there salad?

[axi]

They seem to have taken a liking to you, though. It might be a good idea to keep them around for some time.

[Really? She makes a hmm sound, thinking aloud.]

There might be. I think there's at least some fruit.

[this_loser]

I don't think I have a choice. They've been following me this whole time.

[Not that he's complaining. It's nice. He loves them already.]

Fruit is good. Thank you.

[axi]

Fast friends aren't a bad thing.

[Of course she knows why, but it's still entertaining all the same.]

You're very welcome. So, do you like photography?

[this_loser]

[A shy nod.]

Mmhmm. I take pictures of the animals I see on my way to school. And home.

[He almost lifts up the camera - maybe she would want to see - but...]

Oh. But this isn't my camera... I dunno why I took it.

[axi]

Maybe you wanted to keep it safe? [Either way, they reach the Melting Pot, and Kaname's off into the back to grab something to eat. She'll leave credits later-- an IOU for now.

Calling out into the dining area:]

Have a seat in the mean time!

[this_loser]

[That's as good an excuse as any. He nods and tucks the camera away. Safely.

He hovers a moment, looking around. It looks cozy, a bit like the last restaurant his parents took him to. He's pretty sure someone led them to a table. There were also more people.

So he goes to the closest table and pulls himself up into one of the chairs, legs swinging as he waits.]

[axi]

[A few minutes later, she emerges from the kitchen with two drinks and two plates on a tray. Water for her, juice for him, and some reheated meat with fruits and veggies on the side. It's not pretty, but it's definitely edible and not bad.

The entire thing is placed on the table as she takes the chair across from him with a smile.]</small? Will this work?

[this_loser]

Yes. Thank you. [He picks at the fruit curiously before popping one in his mouth. It's ... not bad. He tries something different, shyly looking across the table.] Can I ask you something?

[axi]

[She pauses while taking a drink and puts her cup down with a smile.]

Of course, what's on your mind?

[this_loser]

You, um. You said everyone is from different places? That means you too?

[axi]

It does. But we've got space travel where I'm from, so it's not all completely new.

[Kaname grins a little.]

Why do you ask?

[this_loser]

[Oh. Wow. He looks in awe for a moment.]

Um, just curious. [He takes another piece of fruit, glancing sidelong at the dogs laying nearby.] Is the Oracle here? [Would she even know who the Oracle is?]

[axi]

The Oracle...? [Give her a moment.] Oh! Lunafreya. She was here, but she's gone back home now.

[She takes a drink.]

I think she'd like it if you took care of the dogs in her stead for now.

[this_loser]

[So they are definitely Lady Lunafreya's dogs. He looks at them again, frowning a bit, whispering,] She left without them.

[Surely not on purpose. She had seemed very grateful to get Tiny... Pryna back when she's fallen into his care as a puppy. He nods, very seriously.]

I'll do my best.

[axi]

You seem like the type of person who would.

[She smiles at him.]
