OTA - Just some random time around now - These Thins Aren't Quite as Nice as Cell Phones

Hey, anyone feel like talking into a rock is the start of some sort of prank?

[OOC: Just assume this is posted at a convenient time around event stuff.]

It feels like it's taking a long time, doesn't it? There's still so much to fix. Sometimes I wonder how people did it before us!

I guess they didn't have monkeys randomly kidnapping them, though. Or firebirds dropping out of the sky.

[sorewatopsecret]

Monkeys...

[Contrary to the composed and even tone she had been using, the word is spoken hesitantly, as if terrible memories were flashing before her eyes.]

They did not try to kidnap me nor my friends when we exploring some weeks ago... However, they fired coconuts at us... [She can't bear to look at even a stationary coconut now...]

[want_to_belong]

Oh man, you weren't hurt, were you?!

[Activate protective mode. Yes, he'll go back in time and punish those mischievous monkeys!]

[sorewatopsecret]

[PROMPTO NO DOWN BOY CHILL.]

Miraculously, we were not... Albeit, with much difficulty... Never in my life had I needed to carry someone and run with so much repetition before...

[want_to_belong]

[NEVER.]

Wow, you carried someone and ran through that?

[Somehow he wasn't expecting that. She wasn't very big!]

If you ever need to go back, I can always go with you. I don't have a lot of bullets... But I should have enough to deal with a couple monkeys.

[sorewatopsecret]

[The earnest offer gets another giggle out of Takane.]

Ufufu... How gallant of you. However, please, waste not your ammunition. From what I recall as we escaped the premises, there was not much of value in that area... unless one wished to own a deadly coconut launcher.

Lost track of what comm this was on!

[want_to_belong]

[The silence might tell her one thing: he wanted a deadly coconut launcher, but he wasn't going to say so because that would be immature.

At least he got called gallant. He stood a little taller when she said that, trying to soldier up while he... talked to the rock.]

Well. That's good to hear. I'd hate to think of anyone getting hurt.

Hopefully we can get everything set up to be safe soon. I could use a vacation from the monkeys and creatures in the darkness and everything else that keeps happening. I wonder if it'll ever settle down.

no worries~

[sorewatopsecret]

[Takane is never one to judge! You do you, unknown person! If he wants a deadly coconut launcher, don't let his dreams be dreams! She just won't go with him since she'd pretty much be dead weight.]

I've entertained the thought to some others, but it would seem that many find optimism a concept to be out of reach...

[want_to_belong]

Really?

[If he sounded excited it was because he wasn't the only one. Also, someone else wanted to make a nice settlement who sounded like a cute girl! That was cool.]

I don't think it's out of reach! Someone had to build the resorts and stuff back home, right? All we've gotta do it get a bunch of lumber and start nailing it together and make some nice stuff!

[sorewatopsecret]

[What a refreshingly excitable person this is, with how he doesn't needlessly complicate things. Takane is reminded fondly of one of her colleagues back home... She lets out a light giggle of amusement.]

Ufufu~ My goodness, truly, you're quite the positive one. I always did hold admiration towards people who are not so easily discouraged. [Steadily building up a little civilization here does sound like an ideal goal, though, and at the very least, would pass time.] I'm afraid I've only experience in setting up stages, but if I am able to assist in any way with this endeavor, do let me know, good sir.

[want_to_belong]

[Oh man he was doing good! Now what? Clearly he needed to keep this up if he wanted to impress.]

Well, I mean, we just need... to figure out how to make our own lumber and stuff! There's lots of trees, so I don't see why we couldn't do it! Then we could start building restaurants and hotels!

[Maybe a little over positive.]

And I'm sure you'll be lots of help. There's probably all kind of things you can do.

[sorewatopsecret]

[A little over positive, indeed. But Takane is not one to pop that enthusiasm! In fact, she finds it quite refreshing and endearing. You keep being that little camera-toting, chocobo-loving, positive ball of sunshine, Prompto!]

I'm afraid that my strengths lie primarily in fields such as song and dance... However, the greatest strength that living beings have is adaptability, so I am compelled to agree with you.

[want_to_belong]

[Aaaaah, he's winning maybe! He doesn't know what comes with that, but it's a good thing!]

I bet you're the best dancer! And dancers are strong! And flexible! I bet there's a ton you can do. And when we build our new city, we'll need pop stars and stuff so it's not boring.
