YOU THOUGHT WHAT ABOUT ME IN HIGH SCHOOL?

[dousing]

MEMORY SHARE MEME That says memory share, not memeory share. Anyway, the gist is this: characters get a chance to share memories with another one. It can either be voluntary or involuntary (on both characters' parts. maybe discuss nonconsensual telepathy and shit ooc first). Mind melds, pensieves, jamjar situations forcing it on everyone, whatever. Sometimes you experience the memory like it's happening to you or sometimes you experience it as though spectating it. Sometimes you get to choose which memory and sometimes you don't. It all depends. Maybe it changes your relationship forever, maybe it catches you out in a lie. In any case, now you know something about each other you probably won't ever forget. • Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant, like what memory they would be sharing. Or don't, we're not the cops. • Reply to other people's top levels! • Have fun!

[ooc; probably this has happened because of some villainy tomfoolery. if it's her memories, most likely scenario is death of her mother (a building going boom) or being in the HIVE]

[ooc; until he gets married and has kids he has very few genuinely happy memories to share so

go for it anyways or give him some memories of either the happy or less so variety why not]

jfc this whole thread is just going to be made of spoilers you have been warned

[takingaim]

[Let me know if this doesn't work!]

It was warm, so very, very warm. That was the first thing that Prompto became aware of, that and the sunlight trying to trickle in through his closed eyelids. He brought up a hand to block it, a groan leaving him. Had someone left the tent flap open or something? Geez... come on, guys, some of us are trying to sleep!

But something started to worm into his thoughts, a sour note, and it took a moment or two for a reason to come from it.

How could their be sunlight? The darkness had come...

Prompto sat up with a gasp, staring up into the most beautiful, brilliant sky he could ever remember in his life.

Squinting against the sun above, blinking to try and clear his eyes, he put up a hand to try and shield them. All around him was grass so green it seemed impossible and peppered with beautiful blue flowers like he'd never seen. There were brilliant white buildings in the distance - floating buildings! - and all in all, it looked like a photograph that had been supersaturated.

It was beautiful, and his lips were parted as he looked around. Where... Where was he? The last thing he remembered was standing there in the Castle, glaring up at Ardyn, ready to fight along side of Noct-- then there had been that horrible flash of black and pink-purple-

Then nothing.

Then sunlight.

"...am I dead?" Just a breath out.

this whole thread shall be PAIN

[luxoraculi]

It's disheartening, she thinks, that such young people have had their lives squandered. But it was for the sake of the people, she knows. It was so the future generations could have something to be proud of, to be able to see the light and bask within the warm glow of the sun. How many had already died, let alone all of Noctis' friends? Hundreds. Thousands.

Luna feels partially to blame, considering her absence from the world had merely accelerated the Starscourge. But that hadn't exactly been her fault, either.

She's already met up with Noctis -- he'd been easy to find. A bitter sweet reunion twenty something years in the making, but now they've decided to split up to find his fallen companions. In particular, she'd requested to her king that she find Prompto herself.

And so that is how she finds herself here, standing calmly at Prompto's side as he awakens. Pryna is at her side, tail wagging slowly as her old friend stirs, but she's just so excited that she can't stop herself from bounding forward and pouncing on top of poor Prompto to greet him with licks to his face.

It's then that Luna decides to speak up.

"Forgive me, Prompto, but I believe our meeting is long overdue." She doesn't need to answer his question, because she knows that he will know the answer himself considering both she and Pryna are here.

so much pain :(

[takingaim]

"W-Whoa!" There is suddenly a facefull of dog, but when he draws back enough to realize that it's a very familiar dog, his eyes light up. "Chibi!" The nickname stays with him even though he knows the truth and both hands come up to scratch behind her ears and along her back. "Hey there, hi, yeah, I missed you too!" He can't help but laugh after another swipe of her tongue, but that voice makes him look up.

His eyes slowly go wide when he realizes exactly who he's looking it. His first thought is maybe not the most original. She's beautiful...! Pictures don't do her justice. In person, she's just like an angel, shining and white in the sun, with the warmest smile he's ever seen. His second thought though is far more sobering and he shifts back from Pryna as it tightens in his chest.

"L-Lady Lunafreya..." There's only one way he's sitting here with her and Pryna, both of which he knows are-

I'm dead. The thought is so powerful as to completely strip away any other thought. Death, and the time of death, are all very strange things. It doesn't matter that things are happening out of sync with the world of the living because time, here, isn't important. He has no idea that Ardyn's death will bring him back along with his friends for one last goodbye that will make him want to be dead all over again.

Right now, he can only stare, almost trembling.

Pryna is extremely happy to see Prompto, especially so when he says he missed her. Her ears visibly perk and her tail wags so hard and fast it's practically a blur... well, at least until the moment suddenly sobers up. The pup is respectful enough to take a step back and calmly sit down at Prompto's side, providing a comforting presence should he need it.

Luna herself offers Prompto a small but polite bow of greeting. She knows by the tone of his voice that realization is hitting him like a freight train, and so as she straightens her posture once more she steps closer so that she can simply kneel down next to him and place gentle, reassuring hands against his cheek.

"I ask that you remain calm," she starts, voice just as gentle as ever. But panicking never does anyone any sort of good -- even in a place such as this. "It... is true. You have indeed fallen in battle, which is why I am here. I understand that it is a hard thing to accept, and to do so alone is no easy task."

She knows that much from experience; even though she'd accepted her fate long before it had even happened, once she'd entered the beyond she'd felt so incredibly alone and powerless. Pryna's appearance had done nothing for her but form more guilt, at least at first, but she'd been with her until the very end.

Just like Prompto, Ignis, and Gladio had been and will be for Noctis.

Her hands slowly drop from his cheeks, and she takes one of his hands in her own, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I promise you, everything will be fine. You are not alone."

*pets all of them* :(

[takingaim]

It is pretty much entirely her gentle touch that keeps Prompto from going into a full-blown panic. Even with her assurances, it still is there in his eyes, the part of his lips, the speed of his breath and heartbeat. There's almost a numbness instead, his hand tightening on hers in an unconscious motion of seeking comfort before he gives an audible swallow.

In his head, there's a thousand thoughts all bouncing around. That he'd failed is probably the loudest of them all because he is supposed to be at Noct's side right now. Oh, he knows the truth. He knows it's supposed to be 'until the end' but he'll never admit that, even to himself. They all knew what was going to happen during those ten long years, but he'd planned to be there right until the very end.

The doesn't feel the tears on his cheeks, but the laugh he gives rings false even though he's actually trying. "This isn't-" a hitch in his breath, "how I thought we'd get to meet." He squeezes his eyes shut against the burning before he gives a faint smile up to her. He can still remember how excited he had been about meeting her after so many years, asking Noct in the Regalia about getting to meet her and Noct's teasing reply.

*pets them with you* they all deserved to be so happy :(

[luxoraculi]

Luna knows; can remember the feeling for herself after Noctis had been called back to the land of the living after the Ring had been delivered. The Beyond had been a lonely place, and she'd felt sick and completely numb. After EVERYTHING she'd survived... twelve years a captive to the Empire, the chaotic streets of Insomnia even AFTER hurtling herself face first into danger to get to King Regis' side, it almost seemed like a slap in the face that Ardyn was the one to do her in.

Of course, her time had been extremely limited even then: the price of the covenants had been catching up to her quickly, but she'd at least expected to have time to meet Noctis' friends and give Noctis himself a proper goodbye. That had been all she wanted, but that foolish Chancellor had taken it all away from her.

Her free hand reaches up to gently brush away the tears that hit his cheeks, though, as she focuses more intently on the young man sitting before her. Her smile softens slightly, and she nods in agreement. She knows exactly what he means, after all.

"I know. I had not wanted to meet you like this, either... I am truly sorry," she begins quietly. The Beyond is a strange place, capable of shifting and churning at any second, but she's used to it and barely notices how the sun brightens, almost a reminder of why they'd all perished, or how the Sylleblossoms that have sprung up around them suddenly begin to lose some of their petals in the gentle seemingly spring breeze. "I am sorry that you are here, but... your friends are here as well. So is Noctis, I have seen him with my own eyes. The fight has not ended just yet, and he still needs us."

After all, Ardyn is lurking somewhere in the Beyond at this point as well -- she'd been able to feel is oily presence as his soul had entered, and it had been both satisfying and sickening at the same time. "I promise... once everything has been said and done, there will be peace beyond your wildest imagination. We will all be together, and I very much wish to thank you for everything you have done."

They do. :( I get the feeling none of them get it until they're *all* reunited though

[takingaim]

Prompto's breath leaves him all at once, hearing those words and trying to understand them. Noct... Iggy, Gladio... they're all here? They're all- but- how-? How can the fight not be ended if they're all here? It feels like one of those crazy math problems back in high school (a million years ago, it feels like, another life) where they keep adding numbers to a longer and longer word problem until he has no idea what he's supposed to even be figuring out.

He sniffles once, bringing up a hand to briskly rub at his face. To his surprise, when he looks down, he's not in the uniform he d-- he last remembered being in but the familiar clothes that he'd worn for years, worn with his friends during better times. Another sniffle, fighting back the further urge to cry in the face of what is or will be or was reality, he isn't even sure any more but he knows he doesn't want to cry in front of her!

"He's always got me. They all do." That, at least, is easy. He's Noct's and has been since they'd become friends. Death isn't about to stop that, either. So with a breath in, he pushes himself up, then quickly offers both hands down to her in an attempt to not be rude since she had been kneeling there for him. She's still an angel in his eyes, somehow beyond perfect, and he feels awkward all over again but very determined to not make a fool out of himself.

Agreed, and I firmly believe that even tho we didn't see it they were all reunited in the end :<

[luxoraculi]

"Yes, they do. And they always will," she responds just as quickly and easily because she knows it to be true. The bond the four of them share can't be severed that easily, and not even death is strong enough to pull them apart. She can take some small comfort in knowing that they will be reunited once more, but the fact of the matter is that she would rather all four of them still be very much alive and happy and able to see the light of day at home. To help rebuild the world and start anew.

But that's not possible now, and they still have a job to do. She's glad to see him pushing himself back up to his feet, and her smile widens as she takes the offered hands and stands back up to her full height as well just as the area around them shifts and changes to its usual odd, multicolored tones. There's no longer any ground beneath their feet, but she's used to the sensation of floating in absolute nothingness.

"Thank you, Prompto." She gives his hands a reassuring squeeze, closing her eyes for a moment. "Once this is over, they'll be glad to see you, I'm sure. Prompto... there is much I want to say to you. You'll never know how much your kindness meant to both myself and Pryna."

The dog in question lifts her head and barks, wagging her tail and running in a small, excited circle around their feet. "I... we are in your debt."

AGREED 100%. ...I think I need to believe that or I would just be depressed.

[takingaim]

There is nothing fair in Death. The Crystal had asked so much of the King that it chose, right up to and including his very life, and Noct had offered it willingly as was his duty. Those who had been most loyal to him - his three best friends, the woman he was to stand beside as husband and wife - had done, or would do, their own duty, to lay their lives down for him. When that would come for the former three was questionable, but time means nothing here.

There are things that go beyond Death. Fate will bring them back when the time is right, and this will become a dream until they are all reunited again.

But Luna's words are almost too much. She's somehow more brilliant than the sun of this place and yet he can't take her eyes off her, though Pyrna's excited bark does bring a smile to his lips. A real smile.

"You don't owe me anything... neither of you. I... I just did what was right." The smile grows, just a touch. "Besides, I always wanted a dog, and for a little while, I got one." His eyes light up, and while his stomach churns and he's still near-totally confused, she's right here in front of him, telling him it'll be okay. So, it will be, right? Noct had always talked about her being a good person, and everyone loves the Oracle. So he'll believe her, even if he doesn't get it.

"I always wanted to be able to tell you all about finding her."
