got it

sorry you got caught up in it

No apology needed.

I really wasn't of any use, anyway.

i don't know about that, after that shitty "prank" noct and prompto and i pulled back in july it's not exactly a great situation

hi there!
terra sent me your way because he found me on the network and i ended up remembering stuff about keyblades
so he said that i might want to get to know you?
my name's marina and i just moved here this month so i'm brand new to this whole thing
so yeah! just wanted to say hi!
also: do you know what a princess of heart is?

hey
moved to a new place
let's play vidya and hang out

I told you I forgave you for that.

It's not even still bothering me, even if it was apparently still on my mind last month.

[A GOOD QUESTION. His text comes after a slight delay; Dante's gotta sort through all the memories he's gotten back to try and see if he's heard the term before.]

so you've got the same sort of memories as the rest of us, huh? i'd say welcome to the club but from everything i've remembered so far you're looking at a shitshow here

i've heard of princesses of heart before but i don't know that much about them, just that this girl i knew was one. do you know anything else about them?

yeah i know you did

but that doesn't make it easier coming up against that sort of thing again, especially if that fog version of me WAS attacking

hell yeah i could use the break

where are you living now?

[sends the address]

at cloud's now
we split the rent it's a lot nicer on both our financials

shit, are you serious?

looks like things with him are going better than you'd expected, huh?

i'll be over in a little bit

[THIS IS A WEIRD CHANGE AND HE ISN'T SURE WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT IT. He's certainly not going to begrudge Prompto for wanting to live with his real brother, though! Even if it means no more midnight break-ins with Noctis crashing onto his bed and waking him up (the real loss here). It's just... a difference. Another person.

Nothing he can't handle.

So just as he'd promised, he'll be over within the hour, even if he does feel a bit awkward knocking at the door.]

Oh, dude, hey!

[he opens the door wide to let dante in]

Forgot to say Cloud's not home right now. He'll be back later. Work and whatever.

[but his smile is big, closing the door behind him]

Place's a bit bigger than my old one, which is nice! I got my own room, and the rent's cheaper since we split it. No pets allowed, though, so Noct's staying with Rufus... Yo, want the grand tour?

boy oh boy, can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans some other girl from some other world was up to that i'm now getting dragged into

all i know is that i am one, i guess?? nothing else came up in my head besides the firm and absolute knowledge that that is apparently what i am

[Is it bad if that makes Dante relax a little bit more? It's an unfamiliar situation, but Cloud not being here yet puts him a little bit closer to solid ground.]

Yeah, show me everything.

So what's that put Noct's menagerie at? Two dogs and a cat now?

Two dogs and a cat, yeah. Can't say I don't miss sharing a bed with Ruffles.

[further inside they go and prompto presents the living room, which is immediately after stepping inside]

Living room. We play video games and watch TV here. Noct got Cloud the entertainment system as a house warming gift... uh, and there's Cloud's figurines. Have you seen anything like 'em? He always gives me a hard time because I call them toys.

[the poor toy figurines... prompto never not mentions them]

[Neatly penned on a white envelope is your name, and inside of it is an invitation! Trimmed with ribbon and gold lace, it's obviously a pretty fancy affair.

There is also a note written in neat print.]

Dante--

I know things are pretty crazy, but I'd still like to have you there if you can make it. If not, I totally understand!

For what it's worth, I consider you a good friend.

No talking about Cats at the reception, though.

Sorey

I still don't know what the deal is between you two, and I don't want to put my foot in it. But, it was just like your own vision. I was really really useless.

What you two are doing, it's on a much higher level than even the other-Togusa I think is going to get to.

oh you know probably the usual

saving multiple worlds, fighting the heartless, managing that action girl status and showing the rest of us up

i really hope you're not joking because being a superhero princess sounds fuckin awesome as hell
get me that sweet magical girl setup
whats a heartless tho

[Pfft, and Prompto thought that Noctis couldn't possibly have a crush on him... and he got them a full entertainment system? Yeah, Prompto, that's... that's not something you do for just anyone.

With a laugh, he's taking a look at the figurines.]

Yeah, I've known a couple guys that collected them.

I've never seen the point myself. They just stand around and collect dust.

hell if i know

i've remembered two girls so far: one that was a witch and one that was friends with both him and sora

neither of them seemed really superhero princess to me

heartless are monsters, there are a bunch of different types i've remembered. they're supposed to be born from the darkness in people's hearts

[it was for cloud, not him???? get off his dick bro]

[prompto barely contains rolling his eyes and holds up one of the wolf figurines, setting it on his open palm and presenting it like he's some tv host]

I don't see it either, but see. They're like--they don't have any dust on them. He takes care of them. Wolves, man.

[he makes a cutesy expression, fake-dropping it]

[do you wanna play against fate, prompto]

[he grins though, putting it close to dante's face]

This one's my fave. They're really cute cubs.

[As much as he'd like to say that Togusa's wrong? He really can't. The stuff he's been remembering, it goes way beyond the capacities of guns and cops, even the type with cyberbrains.]

the stuff we're doing wasn't exactly commonplace wherever they came from, either. the other me said something about the keyblade master being able to change the world, and the two of us shut some door between the realm of light and the realm of darkness

it's all pretty surreal if you ask me, stuff like that's not supposed to exist in real life

damn
you had me going for a second, rip
maybe theres a third girl option yet unknown 'cause i really dont want to get to be stuck with like, the stereotypical damsel in distress princess role or something like that, that's boring

monsters huh? i hear there are monsters here sometimes too, is it the same kind or different?
also, there sure is a lot of emphasis on hearts round here, huh?

[Uh-huh. Sure. That's definitely the reason why. Not because Noct wanted his boyfriend to be able to game in style.

His eyebrows go up when Prompto pretends to fake-drop the figurine, but his expression breaks into a smile again when the other boy catches it and SHOVES IT IN HIS FACE WOW HOW'S HE SUPPOSED TO SEE IT LIKE THAT PROMPTO don't u know he's far-sighted so he grabs Prompto's hand to hold it still, pulling back far enough that he can see it.]

...huh. Sure, I guess they're pretty cute. They're all wolves?

[STANDBY TAKING ANOTHER LOOK, Cloud what is your deal man...........]

Why's he so obsessed with wolves?
