i know it wasn't and won't because in the end we both know that i'm hardly of any relevance to you i just wanted to understand even if don't have the whole picture
you're the worst of the worst and i doubt you'd try to deny that but you were human before now and before the starscourge
[that's got to mean something]
since we're more than likely gonna all run into each other idk might be nice to not be banned from every single panini shop in the city
[Whatever, indeed. The words convey a point, beyond Prompto's inelegant and superficial way of stringing them together.]
What exactly are you trying to achieve, then? What I told you before still applies, no matter how desperately you want to carve out a truce in the presence of all the sandwich shops in the city. I can still hurt you, and your friends, and the friends of your friends.
Does an understanding of who I was in the past change anything in the present? I think both you and I would agree that it does not.
you gotta think i'm an idiot if you think me messaging you and having this conversation means that i've decided to stop being cautious around you the opposite really now i know i gotta be even more careful
and it may not change anything but it does bring things to a different perspective not like you'd be willing to let yourself be thought of anything but an unstoppable force
[because that's what ardyn thinks, right? he'd rather kill them all than have them all pity him or try to put forth a friendly hand. regardless, that ship sailed when ardyn first spurred besithia to create thousands of soldiers and poisoned aldercapt's mind with greedy thoughts of taking the crystal for himself.]
[insomnia fallen, quiet and empty, and lunafreya's death are simply only the closest they've all been to the chaos ardyn's been working hard to have consume eos.]
you have a right to your anger and wanting destruction but don't expect us to stay seated and take it
[...]
do you have a birthday on your id? [as much as he hates to ask...]
[Gods, what is this? Wretched attempts at understanding. Like rusted nails under his skin, foreign and unwanted.]
I expect nothing less. I would be disappointed otherwise.
[And now, what? bIRTHDAYS? The patronization has looped so far around that it’s gone beyond the point of offense, and straight into hilarious disbelief.]
If you care so much, then look. Nothing to say it’s accurate.
[not even prompto is too sure on what he was attempting here. make the fear he feels towards ardyn lessen? make him more human, and not the evil monstrosity that pervades his thoughts when all he hears is the ricochet of a gun and the mocking words of committing patricide?]
[he wants to get past this, somehow]
it's not that i care we're trying to get our ducks in a row
[he thinks ardyn wouldn't remember his own birthday, were he to really think about his actual date of birth.]
we need excuses for getting together for the sake of the greater good in this place to hopefully get back home some day don't you want that too? so that you can continue stringing along your plan to fulfill the prophecy?
Should you find an actual reason to apply to that excuse, then perhaps I’ll see more of a use to all of this. As it stands? This community is nothing but a group of lost souls grasping for answers and pulling forth nothing but dead ends, pretending all the while that progress is continually being made.
[Throws shade on all the other fellow displaced pretending to take the lead, the initiative, yet leaving them still wheeling in the wind regardless. How laughable.]
What was it? I don’t remember what I put down. [A lie.]
it's always easier to criticize when you're not doing anything to lead in the right way or help out make better sense of things if we were all doing the same as you we would be getting nowhere
But ultimately a moot one. You all are working diligently, and as far as I’m concerned, it shall remain so — whether or not I decide to contribute. So for now, I will rest easy on my laurels, simultaneously riding your coattails while you unearth answers for me. How kind.
