video / un: chocobro
[ when the video settles into focus, prompto almost looks nervous. there's the slight shift of his weight from foot to foot, clearing his throat once and squinting to β ]
Is it on? [ clearly, he's talking to himself. ] Okay, okay. Hey, City dudes, it's your guy Prompto coming at you live from, uh... [ he glances around quickly before shrugging. ] City Central, I guess? Anyway β
Figured it'd be good to do a check-in with everyone. See how things are goin' and all that. And as someone who sort of recently celebrated a birthday, I was wonderin' if there's anyone else expecting to do that while they're here. If ya are, maybe we could make a day of it! [ he smiles. ] Orrr, I dunno. Just do something fun? Even if it's small or whatever.
[ with that out of the way, he gets closer to the camera and plops down on the ground, reaching out to bring the shot closer. ]
Oh! And if you just wanna hang out, hit me up. I'm always lookin' for stuff to do since it's super quiet around here for, um, the most part. [ and with a casual throw of his hand in a v-sign, he ends the video. ]

...and if i did i don't know if i'd celebrate it
no subject
is that because you wouldn't like your birthday?
or some other reason?
no subject
i wasn't technically born
so i don't feel any connection to the idea of a birthday?
no subject
i mean i'm gonna assume you didn't come from an egg or something
[ he's purposely trying to steer clear of anything that might relate to test tubes and science, but it's sort of feeling like that in some way??? ]
no subject
no i came out of a beaker
nobody ever told me what date and i didn't bother asking
i didn't know that was a thing people cared about until i was a teenager actually
what do people even do to celebrate birthdays?
back home people would talk about having dinner or cake but
i don't know if that's like, what everyone does
or just what they did
no subject
[ the trauma is so real. just gonna skirt on by it. ]
i uh
i really think it's whatever you wanna do to make it special?
have a party and get presents
eat something nice and then have cake
or whatever kinda dessert you want
honestly anything that sounds good to you
you don't even have to do anything if you don't want to
no subject
[ so fair and so valid prompto let's just. scoot on by that. ]
huh. that's kind of nice
it's like celebrating that somebody was born?
"hey i'm glad you made it into the world"
what'd you do for yours?
no subject
or that you've survived another year π₯³
believe it or not? accidentally ended up in that haunted house
not a good time for me or the guy i was with
[ why is this place the way it is π ]
no subject
oh, i believe it. i ended up there like six times
not really my idea of a good way to spend an evening
birthday or otherwise
no subject
dude how did that even happen
i didn't like that i was there just once
no subject
the rest were on purpose
i kept going back in to see if i could help

...There are people who are grateful you're here. Hopefully, that's enough for you.
no subject
but if it was recorded anywhere i never saw it
but honestly i've never really mourned having a birthday
i appreciate the sentiment anyway tho doc
:)
no subject
So I'll settle for "nice having you around."
no subject
"happy came out of the beaker day"
i don't hate it
but nice having you around is better
i'm glad to know you too
