[FUCKIN




CALLS HIM AGAIN]

[mercurio]

[.....answers]

Hey! This is Prompto! I'm currently not available to answer your call! How about you shoot me a message instead! I'm really good at answering those! Anyway, leave your message after the beep!

Beep!

[daemonized]

[THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK PROMPTO??

He completely ignores the faux message and practically interrupts mid-beep. The immediacy of voice overrides text.]

What do you mean you got a gun? Explain what in the world you were possibly thinking.

[Too Dad Mode for it to have crossed his mind that maybe... this was Retrospec related.]

[mercurio]

[something like a GHUHHH sound filters through when ardyn starts speaking as if nothing, and prompto manages to rat himself out. again.]

It's not that I went out there thinking, I'm gonna buy a gun! It wasn't premeditated. I don't even have that kind of money?!

[daemonized]

Then how is it you have one?

[Don't GHUUUUHHH at him, he has his lecture voice on right now.]

[mercurio]

I woke up minding my own business, I went around my flat, same as always, right! I even went out for a jog, came back after like an hour, and after I had breakfast--Froot Loops by the way, I love that stupid Toucan--I'm brushing my teeth going about my day in my head and the things I need to do, you know how it is, I'm thinking maybe I wanna go see some chocobo today? --anyway, I didn't go because as I was brushing my teeth, I opened the mirror cabinet and inside was this gun!

I closed the cabinet as any normal person would.

Closed my eyes. Counted to ten... and opened it again.

There it was.

[daemonized]

So, you're telling me that the gun you found was something from Retrospec?

[Unless someone is just putting guns in cabinets for no reason, which isn't much better of an idea.]

How long have you had it?

[mercurio]

...uh, a week.

[daemonized]

And you neglected to tell me?

[mercurio]

I didn't wanna worry anyone.

[daemonized]

It would've happened eventually. Next time you get sent a weapon, tell me, Prompto.

[A long exhale.]

What have you done with it?

[mercurio]

[prompto pouts, although it can't be seen. but it's clear in his voice]

'm holding it right now. Been keeping it under m'bed.

[daemonized]

It had better not be loaded.

[prompto............Dad voice intensifies]

You shouldn't be handling guns so recklessly. You know better than that; you don't even know how to use it.

[mercurio]

[immediately]

I did ask Tatsuo for help a few days ago! He taught me how to use one and be careful with it!

[daemonized]

[How much this actually mollifies him is questionable, but something in his words becomes less stern.]

Even so, you have no reason to be handling it right now. [put it down? gosh.] It may be better if you got rid of it completely.

Did a memory come with this little gift of yours?

[mercurio]

[he sets it down on the bed. it's a beautiful gun, all things considered. a blue shine and a decorated handle...]

I won't get rid of it. It's my gun.

[petulant child for sure]

[daemonized]

What need do you have for a weapon?

[Don't be frustrating.]

I'm letting Togusa know.

[mercurio]

What? No! He'll be pissed! He already thinks I'm a walking disaster!

[daemonized]

He may be able to talk some sense into you, or have a better idea what to do with your new firearm.

[AT THE VERY LEAST Togusa is better equipped to handle this than he is.]

[mercurio]

Don't tell him... please.

[daemonized]

[he's not wrong.]

Whose wrath do you prefer? His or mine?

[mercurio]

None, actually.

[...............hangs up]

[daemonized]

[Wow, just because you hung up on him doesn't mean he won't get in touch with Togusa.

Exasperated SIGH is this what it's like being a dad.]
