It didn't take long for the guys to parse together why Prompto seemed particularly distracted and glued to his phone (much more than usual, anyway!) These past few days, and it didn't take long for them to realize why this sudden message from Yang about her tournament was going to be a problem. So they got together and tried to figure out if there was anything that could potentially distract Prompto more than his ex's fighting tournament.
And the answer to that was chocobos.
It satisfied Ignis, too, since it meant they could run practical protocols on attempting to travel outside the city 'undercover' and without drawing attention to themselves.
So far, they'd done a fair job, too, but it wasn't that hard, when, out of uniform, they really did just come off as a bunch of nerdy city boys getting out to the countryside for a few days.
Plus....CHOCOBOS! Between racing on the track, riding around the area, and even getting shots of the Disc of Cauthess, Prompto had been successfully distracted from his phone. For a while, anyway. It was no surprise that he woke up before Noctis, although Ignis and Gladio were already up, the former working on breakfast outside the caravan where they stayed, the latter doing some morning exercises (much to the appreciation of some early morning workers). So Prompto just had to wait for the right moment to slip right past them, drifting over by the chocobo pens, and, when he figured he'd slipped away enough to avoid being noticed, went to reach for his phone to finally catch up with what he had missed.
Only to find nothing there in his pocket.
"Oh, no!" he realized with dread clenching his stomach. "My phone!"
It...it must have fallen when they were out riding!
"Son of a---!"
It was going to be such a pain trying to find it out here!!
[[ because my boyo is still very squishy and must be protected, at least until Saturday mwa ha ha. NFB for distance, but definitely open for communique, even if you'll have to go through another chocobro to reach Prompto atm! ]]

Little sister was not used to waiting for an answer from Prompto!
Rude!
And, yeah, all the boyos were getting that text. Including Prompto just in case some jerk had his phone.
no subject
he's not. He lost his phone. We're all out here in the wilderness looking for it
The whole thing was really making Noctis wish he'd thought of just stealing the damn thing and just pretending it was lost.
no subject
Nina’s priorities were firmly in place now that she knew it was just idiocy and nothing serious.
no subject
Unless Nina was super into watching four clueless dudes wandering the woods, finding nothing but potions and metal shards and debased coins.
did you need him?
I'd hand him my phone but I'm afraid he'll lose that, too
no subject
She loves you Prompto, but............
And really Nina would probably be totally happy to keep a live stream like that on in the background for... longer than she should.
Ngl mostly I wanted to pretend the moose got his and Iggy’s classes mixed up and ask Prompto about his cooking class plans???????????????? He gives funnier responses than Iggy
no subject
But, by that point, Noctis's clear distraction from looking and the soft laugh that slipped out of him as he looked at his phone was starting to catch the attention of the others.
"Who are you texting?" asked Prompto, being this long without his phone starting to make his fingers itch a little, so he went over to try and peer over Noctis's shoulder. Noctis deftly moved away.
"Your sister," he informed Prompto. "Says the moose messed up your classes, so now you're teaching cooking and Specs has got photography."
"W-what?" Prompto gawked at him for a moment. "That....I can't teach cooking! Not unless they want the whole place burned down. Here." He reached for the phone; Noctis, again, moved away deftly. "Let me see that."
"Get your own phone," said Noctis. "Oh, wait."
"Hilarious," said Prompto, glowering at him. "You're a real comedian over here, you know that?"
no subject
She did spam a bunch of hearts and stars though just to express her glee and oh so coincidentally really get that text off the immediate screen.
and like it’s totally tragic but everyone knows the moose doesn’t budge once a decision is made!!!!!!!!!!!!
no subject
After a fair amount of wrestling, the phone managed to exchange hands.
"Carefully, Prompto!" Gladio called with a laugh after his attention had now been drawn to the scuffle. "Don't lose that one, too!"
"I won't!"
This is Prompto now, by the way
He added that just in case she couldn't tell, and then went to go help Noctis off the ground.
no subject
Liar, liar pants on fire!
What are you going to cook first ?????????! Can we do s’mores???????? It’s camp cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure. ‘Cooking’.
no subject
Hey! At least Prompto didn't actually TEXT the trademark!
It is now entirely a Nothing But Cup Noodle class
So there.
no subject
That would end terribly and she knew it.
no subject
But ultimately, he decided to work a new angle now instead:
U think the moose would noticed if we just went to our regular classes? We can do our hair like each other and I'll wear Iggy's glasses. THE PERFECT DISGUISES.
Forget that Ignis had a good four inches on him...
no subject
Some jerk who certainly couldn't begrudge one form of entertainment being interrupted by a possible new one.
It appears as though he is quite indisposed at the moment. Deeply in pursuit of a wild chocobo chase, it would seem.
no subject
It was probably bad that Nina’s first reaction to that was glee, right? Oh my gosh, some jerk had his phone.
That, like, doesn’t sound like you plan to give it back???????????? Ohmygosh are you keeping it?????????? There’s a lot of way ridiculousness on there you know!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s probably contagious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no subject
A moment later, this message was followed up with:
He DOES have quite the abundance of cute puppy videos, though, doesn't he?
And a little after that, after an incredibly brief consideration; one didn't want to show too many cards so quickly, but it was just so much FUN to simply go all in:
And his resemblance to his father is remarkable. Uncanny, really!
no subject
um, what??????????????? You know dad, phone thief????????????????
Nina was intrigued! Enthralled! Concerned!
no subject
Who could have expected, after all, that what was supposed to be a nice routine stalking outside of the city would turn out to be such a completely nuanced joy to be had?
no subject
I mean, like, I suppose that’s true!!!!!!!!!!! Please accept my apology, random person who has my brother’s phone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any chance of getting it back???????????? Are their weird and nefarious things lurking about where you are?????????????
no subject
no subject
I tell him that all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it’s, like, a dumb guy thing???????????? It’s honestly kind of endearing, if exasperating, as his sister................ you know what I mean??????????
no subject
You might as well call off the search!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some rando has it!!!!!!!!!!! They texted me!!!!!!!!!
Which was both a heads up about the phone and a warning that whatever Prompto had had on there that was sensitive information was likely compromised.
no subject
A quiet fell over them all with this message, and, after a moment to just look at Prompto in a way that he could feel a sort of dread clenching his stomach all of a sudden, no one needed to say anything to decide who would be fielding this one.
Some rando? I don't suppose you have any more information than that, do you?
On the bright side, at least Prompto's phone wasn't likely to have too much sensitive information connected to it at all, or really anything but cute puppy videos and an adundance of selfies...
no subject
Because, like, Random was never getting rid of her now.
Please hold and your call will be answered in the order that it was received!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no subject
Ignis honestly did feel a little better knowing it was Nina on their end of things in this situation, although nothing about this situation felt remotely good.
We'll head back to the Post and perhaps ask around. Maybe someone saw something or might recall who it may be.
Or perhaps they could just supsiciously eye anyone with a phone out and texting.
