A Lover's Lament
Who: Gladio and you! (some prompts closed to certain areas/people - they will be indicated)
When: Backdated to November 2nd (as the first day of the prompt)
Where: Yun'Ashia primarily, Curtisy Center
What: Ignis Scientia Has Vanished
Warnings/Notes: Anger, frustration, possible mentions of violence, mentions of a poly relationship, sadness
I. November 2nd - A Disappearing Act (closed to Eosian houses on Yun'Ashia)
It's another evening working at the cafe, Gladio stealing glances at Ignis whenever he can as he works behind the counter making drinks and chatting with customers. When Iggy says he's going into the back to get something, Gladio nods and goes back to preparing drinks. After five minutes he figures Iggy's searching for something that's buried. After ten minutes, he gets worried and flips the cafe's sign to 'Closed' while he gently tries to usher the remaining customers out under the guise of needing to start preparations for the next day.
When the last customer exits, he hurries to the back and finds it empty. Well, empty of a certain bespectacled man with sandy hair who owns part of his heart. Gladio looks behind every stack of boxes, under every table, behind every door, all to no avail. Ignis is simply nowhere to be found.
He checks his tablet and almost sobs with relief that his boyfriend's name isn't greyed out. Quickly locking up the cafe, Gladio sprints home.
Once inside the house, he simply shouts. "Have any of you seen Iggy?!" Frantically, he darts from room to room. Nothing. So he runs to the garden. No sign. The gazebo? Empty. He's not in the chocobo stables either. Trudging back inside, he faces the fact that Ignis really is gone.
II. November 3rd - A Desolate Day (closed to Ravus)
Gladio hasn't slept. Not since coming home to find Ignis gone. He's lost count of how much coffee he's consumed but honestly, he doesn't care. He simply pours himself another cup and brings a cup of tea to Ravus.
"Here. Brought you some tea instead of coffee, this time."
He plops down next to his boyfriend - yes, he has two - and sighs as he sips his drink. Gladio won't break the silence until Ravus does, for now content to have at least one of his loves next to him even as his heart aches for the other to complete them.
III. November 5th - A Dim Outlook (MogNet - OTA)
[The video opens to Gladio sitting in the garden, on the bench by the meditation area. He isn't going to ask for help finding Ignis, not now. As long as his name stays un-greyed, Gladio will simply make himself believe that Iggy is coming back.
His forced smile and clenched jaw give away his mood.] Iggy's gone. We're hopin' he'll be back but in the meantime any help we can get to keep his cafe going would be appreciated. And if anyone has any leads on somethin' I can fight ... I'd appreciate that.

Mognet;
Whatever. He turns on text.]
I know how to run a cafe. You know I do, so let me know if you need me.
And sorry to hear that.
[It's easier over text for both of them, or so he figures.]

MogNet ;
I don't know too much about the cafe but I'll come support and buy something? Is that helpful?

[Reno looked... not angry, but exhausted by the news. Disappointed. It had happened so many times, so clustered together, he didn't have the energy for rage anymore. He just felt bad.]
... I do have a job for you. I think it might help, gettin' outta the house. Keep you busy.

[It's about as close to "this fucking sucks" that he has the energy for right now. As, again, one of their own is missing. He sighs, not quite showing his face right the moment and instead staring up at the sky with the device on his abdomen and camera pointed toward the same sights.
Someone's on a roof again.]
Ivory said she'll help. She loves the place. Also, the house at the Center's ready. If you guys want to be close by when the day he should be back arrives.
