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.
[mfw i'm barely through ffxv and really none of this makes sense for a setting but who cares it's rp and both of them could always use another fishing sidequest
The next time Noctis decides to spend time leisurely fishing at the Galdin Quay, he'll find someone else fishing as well! Which isn't too weird by itself, it's not like this is a privately owned fishing spot or anything.
Although she has no fishing pole, seems to be sitting on a stand made of light, and is apparently fishing while wearing a blindfold, so that might be a little strange. Just a little.
Still, even if her gaze is covered, there's definitely something out in the water bobbing like lure usually would, so what else could she be doing here but fishing right?? She also has a container next to her with her catches thus far, mainly including fishthat havenever been here before. Is this the mark of a talented fish wrangler? Or is this just some really weird shit, just what happened to the fish here while he's been away?
[it's defintely a bit strange, this is a fantasy based on reality in eos and!! what is this?!!
probably not a very big deal, it really doesn't take that much to bewilder noct, after all. the world outside of the crown city tends to be odd and unfamiliar to him anyway—though what he's seeing right now as he approaches galdin shoals is definitely... new.
it look like she's fishing. without a pole. blindfolded. but he can see what looks a lure, and the container of fish that he doesn't recognize (though in all fairness, he doesn't necessarily know they're weird, just ones he's never encountered before).
so.
well, he can try to make conversation.]
They're, uh... really... biting today, huh? [nobody said his conversation attempt wouldn't be awkward, though at least for a moment, it can seem like it's because he's more focused on respooling his own fishing line so he can get started for a bit as well. he's got time to kill before he needs to be anywhere right now, so it's fine. probably.]

[If she notices it as awkward, she doesn't mention anything at least. And besides, with how stoic she tends to be, most attempts at casual conversation with her kind of end up like this. 9S and 6O could've attested to that. Still, even if talking isn't a strong point for her, it's not like she'll just flat out ignore him.]
That's what it seems like. [Although she's been here for a good while already, so maybe not? But whether or not they are, she's been enjoying herself.] Do you fish here often?
[She notes his tools curiously, not that it'll really show. Technology here has been generally much more outdated than she's used to, but so has this entire place to begin with.]
[in all fairness, a lot of things outside the crown city are outdated to him too, though he can't say he's ever seen anything like what 2B is using.
but it's probably fine.
he doesn't seem all that fussed about it anyway, save for the curious look. neither of them is the best at conversation, it would seem, but they can make it work. he's curious, though, regardless. it's clear she's not from the area—she looks more like she'd fit in somewhere in the crown city than anywhere else in lucis; most assume that of noct just by looking at him, so it's a bit strange hearing her ask that.]
Just a couple of times. First time I'd even been here wasn't that long ago.
[In contrast, as far as she can tell, Noctis fits in with the area as well as everyone else does. Of course, it's hard to have any preset expectations when she's never interacted with humans before ending up here. He wears a lot of black compared to the other humans here, she guesses? But that's not exactly strange to her.]
I see. So you don't live here. [She... really can't tell if humans live here or not? There are always a good amount around, coming and going, but given the lack of buildings she can only assume this isn't a place people really take up residence in.]
I'm... gonna take a wild guess that you don't either.
[maybe 2B doesn't realize how much noct sticks out, but he knows he does—and he knows that if he does? she absolutely has to.
it's not necessarily a bad thing. but... well, he just has no idea what to make of it. the fact she even has to ask that kind of question is a bit odd, since most know galdin as a bit of a tourist spot and the easiest way to catch the ferry to altissia.
[It's far from a satisfactory answer, and she knows that, but she's not sure a more specific answer would even help. Opening her eyes again after dying for—what she thought, anyways—good was confusing enough, and at first, she almost wondered if this was supposed to be some kind of afterlife. Of course, that would've been even weirder given everything, although she was pretty sure she wasn't on Earth anymore at the very least.
And then there was the fact that there were humans here, leaving her with absolutely no idea of what this place was. If she can't explain it to herself, she doesn't think she'd be able to explain it to someone else.
Honestly, she didn't have a real moment of peace from her own thoughts and confusion till she found this fishing spot.]
[it's definitely not a helpful answer at all, but noct isn't sure it's worth it to question it. he looks at her curiously though, brow arched.
is she a niff or something? he could see how someone from niflheim might not want to say that's where they're from when running around lucis. being at war can do that, and certainly would probably be smarter when talking to the crown prince himself—
(though very few realize that's who he is, and he really doesn't actually feel better about it because of his personal hostility.)
he's definitely a bit leery, though he isn't going to totally jump to conclusions yet, probably.]
[At least she's aware of it, right... But giving a more specific answer just wouldn't be of any help. She doesn't do anything but confuse him anymore, and he's probably confused enough as is.
But any other thoughts about how to make this any less confusing are stored away for now as Pod comes back with a catch. No reeling, no wrangling, no nothing as a floating toasted just comes up holding a Galdin Trevally.]
[none of this is making much sense because it explains nothing. pod.. okay.
"yorha unit 2b" also really.
seems kind of questionable. maybe she really is a niff. suspiciou, because that sure doesn't sound human!!
doubly so because it says "tactical support unit" about itelf, giving noct even more reason to be suspicious that she might actually. be baiting him or something right now, even if those soulless robots usually just attack without remorse.]
[There is so much internal face-in-hands even if none of it actually comes across in her expression. She's seen aircraft flying by every now and then, but she couldn't tell if it was seen as normal here or not. Given his wariness about Pod, she's guessing it's not. WELP.]
Yes. [Maybe she should just leave?? She's sorry human, she didn't mean to make the sacred act of fishing un-fun and weird!! But that'd probably look even more suspicious. There isn't really a way for this not to be suspicious anymore, but.
Okay, she'll try being upfront. (This rarely works out for her and she's not expecting much from it.)]
So am I. [If he really doesn't like robots, maybe it'll just convince him to leave.... That might be better off for him??]
