hi i'm a concerned citizen a situation hasn't been looked into yet? as far as i know could you please check this out i think it's a valid concern what is that thing?? thank you
hi it's been a day i am still a concerned citizen like okay maybe it's photoshopped but you know?? it could not be? maybe what if someone's trying to pull a prank????? a scary prank! i'm scared
Yep. Sure is a buttdial. Because if Prompto tries answering, he'll be only hear the sound of multiple people talking. And the same can be said if he doesn't answer and checks his voicemail later. CUE... this next text message that is clearly before he, uh...
...Finally... gets around to bothering with actual responses to the spam texts. HE IS A BUSY GUY, OKAY. HE HAS A LIFE BEYOND DEALING WITH PARANORMAL CRAP. JESUS CHRIST GET A PART TIME JOB IF YOU'RE THIS BORED. ]
What the hell Prompto. I get swamped by work for a day and you're off getting into even more crap. I swear if you put even a fraction of the focus you're using here into your damn homework you'd be an honor student by now. Don't even think about getting more involved. It's clearly just some shitty prank anyway. Get a damn hobby. Or better yet go do some volunteer work if you're so into being a concerned citizen.
i already have two jobs i volunteer at the shelter and i did all my homework + some extra stuff for a professor that isn't even my professor i'm all free and ready to.....wait for it..rock
maybe i should conduct my own little research of the matter! get you some proof!
LOL omg if you do end up having nightmares like that you have to let me know or is that weird don't have weird nightmares (DREAMS??) about me this isn't an official police statement right
also because professor izunia asked and he's kinda neat
No, it'd only be weird if I was having "DREAMS??" about you. Nightmares means the person should stop doing things to make me worry [ .......... ] about any trouble you're off getting into
"Kinda neat" huh? But are you even gonna get credit for this extra stuff? Is he turning it into your actual professors, or are you just taking this as a "life lesson" and leaving it at that?
Just asking because you do realize this isn't like a video game where you get EXP for sidequests or something
oh man you're really worried about me? [dude] i promise i don't get in half as much trouble as you think i do you can ask anyone
...*can* he give that to my professors? he just kinda gives me some feedback on them and then asks me to attend some of his classes.. just because? i guess?

[ On the morning of the 13th, one day before Valentine's Day, a sudden text message appears from a Souji Seta. Perhaps you've talked to him before. Perhaps you haven't. Perhaps you're wondering why the hell you are receiving a text at six in the morning but look, let's not sweat the small details. Pay attention to the larger ones, like the contents of this very important message: ]
Hello.
Through the tides of fate, you have been chosen to participate in this year's Valentine's Day event: Blind Dating. It is believed that no one should be alone for such an important day and as such, you have been paired up with another lonely soul.
Your match is with Viktor Nikiforov. Please contact them to plan out your date for tomorrow.
However, if you and your partner do not know what to do, there will be a booth in Recollé Square for the sole purpose of assisting unsure or confused participants of the event. There will be date suggestions, booklets of pick-up lines, and refreshments.
Okay, so you got the name that goes with the number. Doesn't prove I'm the right person for this event. You'd have been better off finding someone eager to locate their "other half."
[prompto's minding his own business, getting off his scooter after parking it and about to head into the store for something to snack on. unfortunately for him, soon as he steps inside and the automatic doors close behind him, he notices the formidable form of no one other than gladio amicia.]
[okay, first of all, it's nothing personal against the guy. he just-- prompto just doesn't want to see cops for the next week, considering how fucking ashamed he feels of his B&E on sunday.]
[no surprises on him turning white as a sheet--appearing guilty--and ducking away... or at least trying to, because he ends up bumping into a lady carrying a bag full of-- oranges...? apparently, and they sure go rolling all over the floor.]
I'm sorry!
[no choice here but to help her pick up the fruit, apologising profusely, all the while his left arm is all bandaged up in a totally obvious way, fuck.]
[ Where Prompto's minding his own business, Gladio's doing the very
thing he does without so much as thinking about it at this point: he's
paying every bit of attention to his surroundings, which...obviously
includes the people within them. It's the first thing he does, no matter
where he is in public. Which is why it doesn't take him long to notice
someone acting... odd, over in the corner of his eye.
Or to notice that this very same individual is knocking a...
ridiculous... number of oranges into the floor (okay, but... he can't blame
someone for wanting to buy that much fruit, all things considered). There's
a long, very quiet sigh as he makes his way over, lowering his own basket
to the floor before he begins helping the pair in their efforts. He gathers
the fruits, two at a time in some cases, and carefully slides his portion
into the bag.
After taking a moment to offer his hand to the woman (mainly out of
habit, since she doesn't visibly seem to be struggling to stand or
anything), he gives her a smile and wishes her well... and then picks up
his own basket, possibly seeming to be ignoring Prompto altogether. That
is, until a casual-- ] So...
[ --slips out. He's keeping his expression calm, but there's a
sharpness in his gaze as it's cut back over to Prompto. He sure is glancing
at the arm. And he sure does notice the guilty demeanor. Police work isn't
a hobby for him, buddy. You're about to get unofficially... interrogated.
Or something. ] How's that arm treatin' ya?
[prompto was hoping that in the apparent silence and gladio ignoring him, that he could simply... walk away from the situation. which he tries to do, but finds himself stopped by the sudden inquiry.]
[he's not all too happy, but he's already looking suspicious. prompto never misses the chance to greet gladio and ask him about monsters and stuff, even if mostly in jest, so his reaction to their meeting today must seem way more than suspicious. it can't be any more so.]
Uhh, great! Not bad, not bad... could be worse, I guess.
[play it cool, prompto]
You know me! Can't ever... [this is sounding totally convincing] keep my hands to myself, ahaha... ha... [sighs]

I don't know why I even bother at this point. Do my words even sink in?
I swear at this point I'm gonna start waking up from nightmares that end with the words "Prompto no" or "Prompto stop that"

I'll believe that when I see it.
[ Look, at this point, he may or may not just be teasing the guy. ]
Hell if I know.
Maybe he just really wants you for one of his students.
[ Sighing on his end before sending the next one: ]
Anyway, unless you're planning on taking his classes in the future, I'd focus more on what you actually signed up for.
no subject
[he hopes that's not what's happening]
okay i'll think about it
professor's izunia is just pretty great, but you're right
i'll give priority to my actual classes
