WHO: Ardyn + open
WHERE: Gemini
WHEN: late July
WHAT: Warriors from beyond the rift--wait, wrong game.
WARNINGS: Probably none, will update.

I just had a most enlightening conversation with an old friend. It would appear this perfectly stable and secure city is in for quite the exciting set of visitors.

Lest you worry that to be sarcasm, I think this will prove quite helpful in our ongoing endeavors.

[Please don’t be anybody she knows.]

[Please don’t be anybody she knows.]

At this point, I fear asking. I suppose any extra pair of hands is useful.

[scourgingstars]

...Come to think about it, he did ask about you. Not you specifically, more...the lot of you.

[poisontippedcure]

[“The lot of you.”]

[So, the Warriors of Light.]

[Come to think of it, Ardyn did remind her of———-no, no. What were the chances?]

Does your friend have a name?

[Please don’t be Emet Selch.]

[scourgingstars]

Emile. Tall, usually has white hair and strikingly lovely gold eyes.

[don’t ask don’t ask don’t ask don’t ask—]

…this is the guy you called dear, right?

[AUGH.]

Forget I asked. I’m fishing. You’re not allergic to fish, right?

[conseqweinces]

(◕‿◕) he did what now?

[illucesco]

i don’t want to talk about it i’m fishing.

[scourgingstars]

The very same~ Emile has been a close companion for many long centuries, in fact.

[At least he's in a better mood now.]

I would love some, actually.

[illucesco]

Congratulations on the, uh, close companion. [He is willfully pretending that’s all this is because if he thinks harder about this, he’ll dive into the water and become a seal for the whole day.] Please just spare me any details.

Great. I just got started so it’ll take a while.

I'm gonna say this to do you a favour: don't.

[ That's it. That's the message. Don't. ]

[illucesco]

I’m already regretting it. I’m fishing.

"Wait, what's the big deal about that?"

Sorry Noctis, she somehow managed to pretty much completely miss all the subtext going on in this post. And was genuinely confused by the reactions.

[illucesco]

I don’t know! It’s Ardyn! I didn’t think he liked anyone at all, let alone that much.

Why is everyone talking to me about this when I’m fishing?

[crisantemo]

So that means you know which certain team might be visiting right?

[ Fuck yeah Florida team. ]

[scourgingstars]

I was, in fact, given a rough list of our potential guests. It was quite the exciting prospect, I must say.

[thewarriorqueen]

"So are you going to share this helpful information, or just keep us hanging?"

[scourgingstars]

Let's just say we're getting a sudden influx of quite helpful allies.

[thewarriorqueen]

"You don't say."

She did believe him. Ish.

"Anything in particular we show know to prepare? Like having food and lodging or whatever lined up."

... The fuck are you even talking about? You've got, like, three fuckin' friends.

[He can count on like, one hand the number of people Ardyn calls "friend" not-sarcastically. It's bigger than "three" but it's still not a big number. Even smaller when you discount the people already here.

Not unless...

Husk's eyes narrow. He starts counting on his fingers. He's doing math. The second he finishes doing math, he looks up, eyes widening. ]

No. Not that. Come the fuck on, we're so tired, you jackass. Don't make us deal with that shit on top of it.

[scourgingstars]

Things around here are finally going to get properly interesting.

[ARDYN NO]

[wiseoldbartender]

[ No. Ardyn please. He's so old and tired, don't do this to him. It's been a tough month. Why this. ]

God, I hate you.

[ That's said with zero venom. He doesn't really mean it. ]

Does that mean he's bringing all the other Florida chucklefucks with him?

[hoshikiri]

Given what we've experienced these past several months and the fact that your own trustworthiness is yet to be determined, I believe some context is in order.

[scourgingstars]

Very hurtful, after all I've done to rip apart at least one Zealot and one nebulous space cloud. One would think I've at least earned a measure of 'probably won't betray us'.

[hoshikiri]

[Huffs.]

I suppose you are correct. And you, too, were surely a victim of their cowardly attempts to assassinate you all at the start of this month. My apologies.

Still, context is required. May I ask that it is provided? The way you said what you did it sounds as though we'll be receiving reinforcements, in a manner of speaking. Am I correct in that assumption? And who will they be to you?

[Elliot sees this message, and chooses to read through the comments before saying anything.

Ardyn. Has. a boyfriend. And he's coming to their town along with a bunch of other Black Order members.

....

He needs to lie down. He's gonna turn off his phone and do that now]
