[ 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 – ] 

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 —

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. ]

Wish? Candles? What? Like a, what are those called. A candelabra?

[burstmodes]

What? No! Just little candles you stick in the cake and blow out? I'm not sure it actually means anything, but it's just a thing people do.

[reaperrabbit]

...The wax doesn't get in the cake?

[That sounds gross.]

[burstmodes]

Only if you let it burn forever. You gotta be fast!

[ literally blow it out the second it's lit after the song is finished. which he hasn't mentioned yet either... ]

[reaperrabbit]

This seems like a lot of shit to remember to celebrate one birthday...

[He'll do it if he has to. But no wonder some people on this post are like, man, I don't need that hassle in my life.]

[burstmodes]

Maybe, but it's pretty much the same usually? So, you know. Repetition and stuff! Everyone's got birthdays.

[ which means at least several a year to remember and try to celebrate. ]

[reaperrabbit]

I guess.

Okay. Looks like I'll need a cake, at least. And candles... where would I find those? What kind of store.

[These aren't the sorts of things he usually buys.]
