It didn't start off bad. A little weird with the fans but it was actually a lot of fun. We had to perform three times to different audiences each time. First was singing with rabid fangirls, then drumming in front of faceless old ladies, and finally performing a play before ghosts.
[there's surprise both in his emotions and on his face at that, he hadn't known... well, he knew his journey was based on Steel's memories, but a journey based on theirs...]
Afterwards. Despite being you know ghosts, they were actually the best audience.
[ now for the fun part. ]
When we exited stage left, we arrived at a battle. We had a mission to make sure history wouldn't change. We had to ignore the death and suffering of people we knew. People from here and from our own worlds.
The longer it went on, the more I became part of him. [ Prompto reaches for a sword no longer there. ] All I could think was that the mission came first. I didn't help or save them. Kazu may have been laying dead. Kashuu had a gun blow up in his hands. Iggy and Gladio were both heavily injured. Noct was in bandages.
And while it's sad, their lives weren't as important to me as the mission. [ he feels so bad for this ]

...That's normal. You were bleeding out.
[it's normal??? but also, he can feel the guilt and sorrow,]
...Vax-kun and Jiu-chan got to her in time.
no subject
[ So yodo? that's how it works right?
He sighs and then gives a slow nod of his head. ]
I'm glad. Do you know if someone is planning on staying with her? She really shouldn't be alone.
no subject
...Yeah. I made plans with her and Crow earlier today. We're planning on staying at the café tonight.
no subject
We uh. Each saw the people we care most about die.
no subject
...Prompto. [...] I'm sorry. Having to see that -- no matter if it was real or not...
[it would truly suck,]
no subject
It is what it is. I'll be fine. More worried about the other two.
no subject
[he understands the need to worry about others over yourself though, that's all he's ever done.]
You can take time to process for yourself too. ...No matter how you might feel.
no subject
I know... I'm just used to trying to keep everyone else up. It was one of the few things I was actually good at.
no subject
[he can sense a fellow giver,]
You've helped me a lot, Prompto. It'd be nice if I could help you back, this time.
no subject
Yeah?
[ it does make him feel a little better that he's helped ]
Not sure how much I should share- [ wait. ] Oh, yeah. You probably would know quite a bit about their world, huh?
[ you were doing crimes with one of them ]
no subject
Whatever you're comfortable with. [cyoas are traumatic man...
he does tilt his head at the question though,]
Their world? [he didn't recognize their rocking outfits okay]

...Did things start going wrong the third time?
[that sounds familiar too, if so]

[ There's a pang of guilt at this. ]
I saw Kashuu, Kazu, and my friends from home.
no subject
that's... very bad. Itsuki's attention sharpens at that,]
...The mission.
[the mission for the swords, who even though can love and grieve as deeply as humans, aren't human.]
Did you try to save them?
no subject
And while it's sad, their lives weren't as important to me as the mission. [ he feels so bad for this ]
no subject
Prompto might be reaching for a sword, but Itsuki reaches for that hand anyway. a quick grasp, not very strong, but there.]
...The many before all. [his voice is heavy] Protecting history to save humanity means making sacrifices...
At least, I think that's how Buzen and the others see it.
no subject
He'll let him take his hand and give him a light squeeze. ]
Yeah. It's a pretty heavy burden. And they can't go against it or they'll be corrupted and the world may end.
no subject
hm, he hadn't known that part.]
Can't imagine that made it any easier on you and the others.
[stuck between a rock and a hard place,]
