Revenge is best served between friends

[chocobosnap]

Who: Final Fantasy XV cast, and any visitors who would like to wander into this mess 
When: backdated to October 3rd
Where: The younger Final Fantasy XV house
What: Noctis and Prompto are up to no good. It's unlikely anyone will take that lying down.
Warnings/Notes: None really, shenanigans.

Part of the problem, perhaps, was that things had been rather serious as of late. The mood in the house was somber, and apart from that, Prompto got the idea talking to Keith that they needed to have fun.

Not that he was planning on taking the blame for his mischief, nor would he be doing it alone. Prompto was going to propose it to Noctis, and he didn't think he was going to have to twist his arm too much.

There was likely going to be retaliation, but that was future Prompto's problem.

He grinned. Let the pranks begin!

When the message reaches him, Ignis was actually heading downstairs, box with rubber ducks and chocobos in his hands. The thing is overflowing, actually, from all the toys he collected around the house during his cleaning. He's still pondering on how to use them.

"Oh my," Ignis says with a wince when he reads the message and pockets it. "Thank you, Estoc."

Well, Ravus definitively deserves an apology for this, which is why Ignis goes to find him. Hopefully, he didn't leave the house just yet.

"Ravus?" He calls out when he steps into the kitchen, box in hands and purple streaks in his hair (because of that stupid hair gel).

[sonoftenebrae]

"It must really be the month for ghostly activity. I hear the voice of a dead man."

Yes, Ravus is still feeling just as angry and just as petty as when he sent that note. He's already drained a glass of milk, then a finger of whiskey, but the awful taste still lingers. He's been circling the kitchen, searching for something to cleanse his palate.

He eyes the rubber fowl Ignis carries with suspicion. He'd thought the younger Lucians to blame for those, but he must have been wrong about that as well. It seems Ignis' deviance far extends what he'd previously suspected.

[regalblaze]

The one who made your palate a disaster can cleanse it too. He turns to Ebony briefly, "Check the lower bathrooms for the rest. And don't forget to inspect the shower," and then leaves the box on the kitchen counter. He's not sure what he's going to do with all of these toys... yet. Just throwing them away would be a waste.

He walks over to the fridge and pulls out some ginger root and lemon. "My sincerest apologies Ravus," he says as he starts grinding up some of that ginger root on the plate. "I was trying to get a payback on Gladiolus for dying my hair." He squeezes half of the lemon in a shot glass and then offers both to him.

"Unfortunately, you reached "the treats" before him."

[sonoftenebrae]

Ravus, still frowning, accepts the offerings. He downs the juice first, gasps, then takes a sliver of the ginger root. At least after he forces it all down, the last traces of the tainted cupcake disappear.

"If Gladiolus was your only target, you should have doctors his damned noodles."

Ignis knows just how enticing his baked goods are to the other occupants of this house. He had to realize these cupcakes would tempt not only Gladiolus...

Besides, it is not as though the purple does not suit him, though Ravus is wise enough to keep that thought to himself. Gladiolus needs no more encouragement to pull any more pranks, and Ravus does not want to risk incurring Ignis' ire by acting complicit.

"Am I to trust these are the only 'treats' you've made, or do I need to start taking my meals elsewhere until this insanity ends?"

[regalblaze]

...Ignis usually takes it the other way around, ginger then the lemon juice, but this works too. He leaves the plate on the counter in case Ravus needs some more.

"That was the first thing that came to my mind. However," he jabs his thumb towards the cupboard, "his supply of noodles is gone." And Ignis didn't go shopping yet so he couldn't use it. Also, this way, he managed to prank Noctis and Prompto as well, so it's a win/almost win situation.

The problem with the dye prank is that he can't wash the color away.

"No, the cupcakes are the only thing that are dangerous." His lips twitch though, "However, should the rumor spread that other meals are like this, I won't stop it." He pushes his glasses up, "It will be fun watching them all tip-toe around carefully instead of shoving food in their mouths without thinking."

[sonoftenebrae]

"You are terrifying when you are angry. You know that, don't you?"

Like, Ravus is angry, but also impressed in spite of himself. Ignis has a quiet, menacing aura that Ravus aspires to.

"Yes, it would be terrible misunderstanding if the others got that idea in their heads." Ravus isn't saying he'll help plant the rumor...but he might speculate with Estoc in hearing range of his housemates...

[regalblaze]

Ignis blinks the laughs, "Am I now? I believe the word the others use was 'menacing'." Perhaps he wasn't pushed to his limit around them yet to see the terrifying side. But- Ignis looks flattered.

"I was also wondering if I should put "beware, hazard" stickers on completely fine ice cream containers. Food for thought," he says lightly and picks on the ginger.

Ebony returns, hands full with random toys he found and drops them all in the box. "All cleaned up, kupo! There's a LOT of 'em!"

[sonoftenebrae]

"Put the stickers on, then tear them so it looks like you tried to remove them," Ravus suggests. Ignis isn't the only menacing presence here.

His lips quirk into the start of a smile in spite of himself. He's reminded, not for the first time, what a formidable team he and Ignis had made before.

He eyes the box of rubber birds the moogle delivers. "Do you have a plan for those?"

[regalblaze]

"A stellar idea," Ignis agrees all too willingly. And no, he isn't. Which is why Ravus and he make a rather lethal combo- pranks or otherwise. The quirk of Ravus' lips keep Ignis' attention for a moment (Ravus smiling is a rarity, sue him) and then he turns to the box in question.

"Nothing right now," he sighs. "They keep appearing everywhere in the house so I keep collecting them. I do not know what to make of them. Throwing them away would be a waste."

[sonoftenebrae]

"Yes, a waste indeed..." Ravus begins to formulate a plan in his head.

"If you truly wish to make amends for your tainted confectioneries, surrender the box to me. Some of them shall need to be returned to their original locations."

Because as good of a team as they make, there are some revenge plots that must be enacted on one's own.

[regalblaze]

Ignis gives Ravus a long stare, together with Ebony. Of course, the brain processes are entirely different. Moogle actually started liking finding all of these things, it turned into a treasure hunt and now, well, ducks are a treasure.

"Hand over the box, Ebony." The Moogle gives him a pleading look. "...fine. Keep one. But hand him over the rest of it. It seems they will serve a greater purpose in the future."

With a squeak, Moogle grabs the ugliest looking duck, all worn out (first one he found, sentimental value), and hands over everything else.

[sonoftenebrae]

That earns an approving nod from Ravus. He suffers the moogle to collect his souvenir from the box, then takes the rest of the lot for himself.

"This will do nicely. I should be going now." He flashes Ignis a wicked grin. "There is much to be done to teach the rest of this household not to incur the anger of a Nox Fleuret."

[regalblaze]

Ignis looks way too amused by all of this to care about the sanity of others. Whatever Ravus has in plan as retribution is going to be marvelous.

"I am looking forward to it," he says with a chuckle as he takes another bite of ginger. He will not mind being caught in Ravus' prank as well- he kind of deserves it with this cupcake fiasco.
