Heaven's BBS 📷 Text

Date: August 28th
From: Prompto Argentum

whoa!! you guys!
remember that shopping center heaven had us investigate last week? it CAUGHT FIRE three days after we checked it out!!! ━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン
and the papers say it could've been arson??
does anyone have any idea what could've happened there? did we miss something???
i only found a good luck charm taped inside one of the air ducts.....

oh and also hi to everyone i haven't met yet! my name's prompto. i've only been here a little while AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER so if you know me and i don't know you i'm really sorry if things seem weird and awkward
(꒪꒫꒪,,) it's not like i meant to forget, i swear
i heard these things happen sometimes?
but if we were friends we can totally be friends again if you give me a chance to kind of catch up!

that's what the charm said on it but i'm kinda skeptical given i found it taped to an a/c unit attempting to turn a janitor's closet into an arctic wasteland
can magic charms tell a bald faced lie like that?

Sure, why not? Sometimes words can have different meanings. [ Ansuz rune could help with communication for example. Or set things on fire. ] Other times it doesn't matter what is written, but what was used to make the charm. That, and intent, of course

I'm not native to this land and traditions, so take it as you will.

no that's actually really helpful!
i'm not from around here either
uh, not as far as i can tell anyway
and i really don't know a lot about magic stuff
the charm literally said "good luck" on it so what other meanings could that have? i don't have it with me to check what it was made out of

Maybe only a part of the word was an active spell? I'm pretty sure I could hide a rune in "get better" card's text that would cause it to explode.

Depends on the alphabet used, language. Or maybe the written part was irrelevant.

Hard to say, I wasn't here yet.

oh are you from the group that just got here?
hey! welcome ヾ(°∇°*)
like i said, i'm prompto
lucina's shinki!
we came in with the group before yours

That's right. Name's Caster [ not really ] I'm one of the new gods.

It sounds like you had your hands full recently.

yeah
i sort of get the idea we're always supposed to be busy if we're doing our jobs right
but this was a special mission from the guys that are actually FROM here so it seemed like a bigger deal than answering the usual prayers
so i don't know what it means that we didn't catch whatever made the building go up like that
it can't be good

Just how many people died?

[ Straight to the point and asking the important question ]

none actually
it was nighttime so no one was there except a guard and he only breathed in a little smoke
so he'll be okay

Sounds whatever you did, worked. No need to beat yourself over a fire if everyone made out if it in one piece.

[ He's going to be a very responsible god, yes ]

i
guess that's true, i didn't think of it that way
it's gonna put a lot of people out of jobs though? so i feel bad

Someone got to rebuild it, right? That sounds like a big job and not just for one person.

Or are they scrapping the building altogether?

[ He has no idea about modern economics... or you know the economy in general. Definitely not his division ]

iiii don't know? ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)
but i mean, people who were gonna work retail probably aren't applying to construction jobs

[ That's a good point ]

I see, right... I didn't think of that. Tough spot for them.

You're really a kind type of guy, aren't you?

[ Because the problems of people who might have lost jobs because of the fire didn't even occur to him ]

[He's glad this conversation's happening over text, because that's a very flustering thing to hear from a stranger.]

well uh i guess i try to be!
and maybe since i kinda accidentally got roped into working there by mistake for a little while, i sort of feel for the people who DO work there
or did, i guess
i just wish we could've done more to stop this from happening...

[ What a Good Kid, how are they making these today? ]

Some things are made to be inevitable. You can skew them a little like you did here, but they will happen anyway.

Who knows, maybe without your intervention there would be victims. Yet there are none. It might sound like a small victory in the greater scope of things, but hopefully, it will help you sleep at night.

you know, i kind of do feel better about it actually
thanks, caster!

Glad to hear that!

oh and if you need any help getting used to things around here
well maybe i'm not THE BEST resource but you can call on me anytime! ( ˘ω˘ )ゝ
at the very least i can commiserate if you're having trouble because it's been a pretty steep learning curve for me and lucina too

Thanks for offering, Prompto. I might take advantage of that someday. My shinki is good with this technology thing, but I've been a bit out of my depth about it at times.

i'm GREAT with tech!
it's like my one redeeming feature
just ask lucina! though i guess she'll probably try to make me sound a little more useful than that, she's a really nice person

I'm on the opposite end. If there is anything I'm great right now, it's magic. [ And combat. but when he's in Caster-class, it's magic. dammit ]

I have not yet met this goddess you speak of, but when I do, I will make sure she hears how well you speaks of her. [ He can play a wingman, why not ]

aw dude no she'll get so embarrassed!
she's one of those serious noble hero types, all "i'm just doing my duty!" and stuff

[ 1. Serious 2. Noble 3.Hero. Okay that's three checks ]

Are you kidding? Now I'm like morally obliged to do it.

[Lucina would absolutely be summoned as a Saber and nothing else, that's how Serious Noble Hero she is.]

well if you HAVE to
make sure you do it in person so you can see how flustered she gets!
