Backdated Fiddlesticks 1- Late/ Video

[bethereprompto]

[Prompto's image appears on the network with a worried expression on his face. He's already in his pjs (tank top and chocobo yellow pj bottoms) and he's pretty sure Iggy's already in bed but.. there's a very big and important 'something' missing from his room.]

Hey uh.. sorry for bugging everyone but uh..

[He glances back at his room uncertain.]

Has anyone seen Gladio? Buddy? If you're around will you just.. I don't know, shout 'Marco' or something for me? If you need alone time or whatever, that's cool. I won't come bother you but.. just..

[What if Gladio really was needing some alone time and he was being stupid about this? He didn't want to be harassing the poor guy.]

Never mind.

Re: audio

[bethereprompto]

[Why does this sound like they were commiserating after someone is gone? He can't be gone. Nope. Not possible.]

Y- yeah, he is. He's really good to talk to.

[Pause.]

You must be Blue then?

[pleple]

[ Probably one of those temporary things. Right? Makes more sense. ]

I am. Ple Two.

[bethereprompto]

[He hesitated a moment.]

Is that an unusual name where you're from?

[Wait, that wasn't very nice.]

Sorry. I'm Prompto. I'm one of Iggy's friends from back home so I've been paling around with your team. Are you the carrot top?

[pleple]

[ She huffed. ]

Very unusual, so it's fine.

[ But at this point, the bluntness was just kind of amusing. ]

I've seen you around. Yes, I'm the young... carrot top. I've never heard that one before.

[bethereprompto]

Yeah? Is it irritating that people always ask about that?

[He grinned when he figured out who she was. He let out a little cheer.]

Got it right! It was the first orange thing I could think of. Well.. except an orange, I guess?

[pleple]

Mm. Not... that many people do.

[ Which is good. ]

Wouldn't my head resemble an orange more than a carrot?

[bethereprompto]

[He shrugged with a sheepish grin before remembering she couldn't see that on audio.]

Uh, yeah. And it's funny because I like oranges and I don't like vegetables! Ha ha! But you seem cool! .. not that I'm comparing you to vegetables..

[pleple]

I would hope you like me more than carrots, at least.

[ Being an orange to him should probably take more time. What a weird thought, though. ]

[bethereprompto]

[He laughed.]

Definitely! Better than oranges!

[This had been pleasantly distracting at least.]

If you see him, will you let me know?

[pleple]

Well that's moving a little fast hm?

[ You might hate her! You don't know. ]

I... will certainly get back to you.

[bethereprompto]

No!

[He flashed her a grin.]

I'm a pretty good judge of character!.. would you hate it if I called you Carrot Top? It sounds kind of cute.

[pleple]

I guess not.

[ A little bit, but an endearing sort of hate. ]

Just don't go overboard or I'll change my mind.

[bethereprompto]

Would it help if you knew my nicknames? Noct, Iggy, and Gladdy call me 'Blondie' and sometimes just 'Prom'.

[He thinks for a second if there's any other nicknames he should offer her. Then he snickers.]

Probably 'pain in the ass' too!

[pleple]

Blondie, Prom, Pain in the Ass. I'll keep them all in mind, depending.

[ ...she's not good at coming up with them, though. ]

[bethereprompto]

ICP Hi Five!

[He put his hand up on the screen.]

[pleple]

[ Sure, she can high five a screen. ]

High five.
