[A gentle clearing of the throat, and a man speaks in a clipped, poshly accented voice. Every word perfectly enunciated.]

To all fellow unwitting tourists,

What is the singular fact about this city and/or our presumed hosts you wish someone had told you upon your arrival?

Much obliged.

Man, that's a long list. Maybe "half the places here'll try to kill ya, steer clear until someone else tests it first"?

[ not that. things trying to kill him has ever really stopped Reno from doing anything... ]

New arrival, huh?

Oh, you'll find out. My first month here, we got stuck in the mall and chased around by hallucinations.

Eh, 'bout two and a half months give or take some days. Not as long as some, but long enough to know the lay of the land, you could say.

My condolences.

[ that's mostly sincere, despite how light his tone is! it's a little less depressing for Reno than for some others, given how few people would miss him, but he's not unsympathetic. ]

Home? City called Midgar—Edge, now. Planet's called Gaia. You?

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-13 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Midgar Edge was built for refugees from Midgar after it was mostly destroyed—kinda long story. It ain't that creative as names go, it's just 'cause it's on the edge of what used to be Mid...

[ he trails off, because the rest of the sentence just parsed for him, and those are familiar words indeed. Insomnia, Eos. Reno, who had been going through this whole conversation without once checking the display name, glances at it before he continues, ]

Midgar. Hey, you happen to know a kid named Prompto? Real cute, enthusiastic, likes chocobos and taking selfies?

[ he looked at the display name but not the other replies to this post, or he'd answer his own question. ]
astraphilia: (could barely tear my eyes away)

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-13 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he's a real sweetheart. He's gonna lose his shit that you're here.

[ in a good(?) way...? mostly? ]

I'm Reno. Prompto's told me a lot about you.

There's another thing you should know—time is kinda weird here. You and he might be... from different points on your timeline, so to speak. You just saw him last month, but he's been here as long as I have.

I wish I had the answers for ya, but it is what it is. There's a girl here from my world, she's a full two years behind me. Honestly, I ain't convinced we do go missing back where we're from, but the science of it is still kinda beyond me.
astraphilia: (when i was a man i thought it ended)

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-14 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Almost everything. Turns out two years is a long, long time.
astraphilia: (he's the giggle at a funeral)

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-15 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
...What kinda concerns?
astraphilia: (and some would scream;)

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-15 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, halfway. He's also a lot younger'n me.
astraphilia: (don't you ever tame your demons)

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-15 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Thirty—two. As of a week ago.
astraphilia: (would always rule me)

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-11-15 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
...Most times. He missed you a lot, you and your other friends.
