GENKI SILENT PROTAG. She'll probably strong-arm you into doing something ridiculous, and do so with the cutest smile on earth. She might also poke you with a naginata if you're a punk.
THE SASSY PROTAG. a phantom thief with a heart of gold. lives rebelliously and without regrets, though spends most of his time feigning a very unassuming persona. #nailedit
A true sunshine protagonist. Country bumpkin, slow on the uptake. Wants to be everyone's friend. Swordian Master of fire, incredibly hot-blooded. A GOOD BEAN. Please love him. He's my favorite and I am biased.
The original fabulous Tales science lady. Probably wants to dissect you pretty shamelessly. Loves and adores cute things. Inventor of the Swordians. Definitely the definition of Mad Scientist.
[if nothing else, ash has chilled out a little since becoming the regliash, so he's not going to make a fuss.
of course, there's also a special guest in the backseat, because it's not like any of the bros are going to actually let noctis go driving off alone, but they can handle the proper introductions during a period of silence because i don't play most of them and that's effort.]
Sure did, but you're the one in charge of hosing off the guts from my tires now. [he's always going to be a bit of a punk with percy, honestly.]
[This is a car full of bros and Percy's perfectly fine with this as much as I am fine handwaving he is fine with it. Instead, he smirks and shifts in his seat, glancing out the window again.]
Oh no, you're asking me to do something with water. What ever will I do? [His smirk shifts into more of a grin then.] But sure, I guess I owe you. Where are we heading back to anyway? I can detail you on everything that's happened up to this point on the way.
Right. Sounds like normal every-day stuff. It'll give me time to figure out who I have to piss off to get a response. [Percy, no. But he rolls his eyes and leans back in his seat, staring out the window now as they drive.]
Pretty sure it was a training day gone bad at Camp? Last thing I remember is being out in the woods doing some surveillance and training and the next I fell through some hidden entrance and wound up here. Last time that happened we were in the labyrinth but this is a whole other world. Could be Hera trying to teach me something again, but I was hoping she would finally leave me alone.
Not too surprising. [He echos, though he doesn't entirely agree with it either.] And what about you, your Highness? What's your excuse for not texting us more?
[Noct probably texts twice as much as Percy, ergo it's a shitty argument. But he's trying.]
At least you don't have monsters tracking you down because of your cell phone service. Do you know how many guys I've had to throw off my trail trying to answer half of Papika's questions she sends multiple times a day? [He doesn't mind though.]
Maybe this is punishment for that. The gods work in weird ways sometimes.
Wouldn't surprise me. That's what you get for getting close with the talkative ones.
[naturally, he's teasing. it's not like he can say his situation is any better when he gets a ton of texts from milla about new food discoveries and other funny human quirks she's learned about.]
Hey. [There's a playful shove to his shoulder but not enough to deter Noctis's attention from the road.] In the end, most of us who were left could have been considered talkative if you think about it. Now that we're separated again it's nice to hear from everybody. Sort of like we haven't really been forgotten.
[A pause.] Besides, at least I didn't put somebody in my car.
[A grin? A grin. He...really likes not being forgotten, thanks Noctis.]
As somebody who once forgot everyone? Not a good place to be in, but I think we'd all figure out a way to make you remember anyway.
[He rolls his eyes though.] Ash's idea, sure, but you're the one who went along with it. Wasn't it also Ash's idea to try and self-detonate himself to kill people?
Pretty sure even that wouldn't let me forget you jerks.
[listen, he's got faith in it. whatever! moving on??]
I wasn't gonna send him off to be dead in his own world. [he has oddly strong feelings about that, but percy should know that noct really isn't into killing people, even ash.
he has a soft spot for ash.] He's calmed down, anyway.
Yeah, you're probably right. [There's a light laugh.] Guess it's a good thing we all asked to remember everything after we won the game.
[He's staring at the dashboard then.] ...I know you wouldn't. That's not you. You'd do the same for any of us. [A beat.] It's the same reason we brought Jason home, you know? So I get it. But I still have a hard time understanding how you bonded with Ash at all.
[And a sly grin.] Then again I'm not the one who kissed him, so what do I know?

Hammerhead, for now. It's nothin' fancy, but there's a camper to sleep. Waiting on a couple of things at the garage before we head out.
[#justffxvthings.
either way:] Hell of a lot more interesting in knowing how you're even here right now.

[considering that is still A Lot? still.]
But it sounds in line with your luck. So... not really too surprising.

I do it enough. ...Even interdimensional reception sucks when you're out in the boonies. Funny how that works.

[a bunch of life ruiners and good friends, that's what you all are.]
Besides that was his idea, not mine. [okay??? he couldn't turn off his intense protagging to let his roomie die for real.]
