Crystalline Chill

Who: Residents of house C-01 and friends!
When: All throughout May, see prompts and individual threads
Where: House C-01
What: Monthly catchall for the XV House shenanigans
Warnings/Notes: There's likely going to be spoilers for Kingsglaive and the main game up to Chapter 13 somewhere in the comments.


A. Sometimes you just want to ride...
Late in the morning of the 1st, there is a low purring sound of an engine going down the street. One that wasn't accustomed to travel aside by foot or chocobo claw. Yet, somehow, a certain man manages not to clip a single thing. And it sits there, in front of House C-01, black, shiny, and very much a wonder to a few moogles. Especially since the convertible's roof is airship-grade plexiglass.

B. [Insert "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" joke here]
There was one upside to living with the once-deceased leader of the Crownsguard, and that was one didn't have to go far for a training enthusiast. There was also one downside to this: not having to go far for a training enthusiast. It's the crack of dawn when the nice little symphony of insects and kwehs get interrupted by the sounds of wooden weapons clashing and spells being practiced.

Rest in pieces, light sleepers. They apologize in advance.

C. That's it!
Of course, no one can train or go through the day on no fuel. And one person in particular has taken upon himself to at least ensure a few others can eventually cook eggs without burning them. The real question is: Will Ignis come up with a new recipeh involving that jar of kupo nut butter?

D. I want to ride my chocobo all day~
If anyone is surprised at the fact that there are two or three (depending on the date because Chocobo Eater event) lovely birds, then they clearly don't understand at least 50% of the household's love for the magnificent creatures. The black one in particular seems to be particularly happy with their nice little stack of shiny objects...

There may or may not be a pair of glasses on the top of that pile. Sorry, Specs.

E. Hold my Ebony

Noctis is going to have a potentially short life. The realization pours ice through his veins. They haven't been friends long but the thought... His eyes narrow just a hair. A price has to be paid. He leans more to one side and his hip makes contact with the lion. He shouldn't judge the powers of another world. They do what they must to protect what they hold dear.

But he doesn't like it. "I see." He doubts the Lions are doing that to them. He'd felt tired in that last battle because Zarkon was constantly attacking him. It had been like trying to hold back a storm. Shiro tips his head up to stare at the Lion one more time. "As far as I can tell nothing like that exists in my universe. Even the Galra and their harvesting quintessence they haven't literally burned for using it as fuel."
spaceforged: (We'll get through this.)

His gaze darkens. "Yes, and the universe has paid that price too many times." His blood runs cold at the thought of anyone picking up that ring. Countless lives could be snuffed out. Shiro doesn't like the light of the Lucii but he'll respect it. His respect for Noctis shows in his eyes as he turns his head to look at him.

"I understand the risks. We both have things that absolutely should never be misused or picked up carelessly." He shuts his eyes and sighs. "Like I said before. I'll help as much as I'm able to."
spaceforged: (Let's keep it up)

"I think the only thing we can do for Black is wait. When its ready to rise again we'll know." Shiro glances one more time at the Lion and turns away from it. He gestures for Noctis to follow him. "Until then best to study hard for our pilot licenses." They don't have classes they have to attend.

Or instructors. Yet he still feels compelled to add. "Built a study guide, yet?"
spaceforged: (Take us in slowly)

"It's really strange. Back at the Garrison we had to test to even quality to attend. We had courses, flight simulators, practice flights, and you were competing with everyone else in your year for a slot." It was a gauntlet and he climbed to the top of it. Sometimes he looks back at that time and wonders how many have made it since he left Earth.

Who kept throwing themselves into it? But it's a passing idle thought. "I brought this up to Hunk...but we're going to look into what technology they have available and see if we could develop flight simulators."
