Video 001: First Shot in the Dark

[pisticus]

[ Alright let's see how this works! Prompto has his phone propped up in an area where he can get the angle just right while he records this. He wants to be able to show off the images he has after all. ]

Hey guys, so I know it's not the best quality video, sorry. This whole network thing is weird to get used to.

Anyways! Hi, I'm Prompto! Uh...I'm from a place called Eos, specifically I'm from the Kingdom of Lucis. Before I left there was this thing that has been referred to as a plague...it's called the Starscourge and it's like really bad. Basically it makes the nights longer. For a bout ten years before I got here...we didn't have any sunlight because of this stuff.

Because of that, we had a lot of these things,

[ He holds a picture that looks a lot like the monsters that have been around in the much darker areas ofthe castle. ]

They're called daemons. there are a few different types but....but they are all...

[ He pauses a bit, scratching at his worst before he looks back at the camera. ]

They are created when people or animals are affected by the Starscourge, basically they are parasitized by it and after a while they become daemons. The only cure that has been found was thanks to a person known as the Oracle. I used to know the one back home...well knew of her.

She was my best friends fiance and sort of a celebrity in her own way. Total sweetheart too.

Anyways, these daemons start off as people, like you and me...and then....then those people get sick...and if it isn't treated...well...then you get what we have here.

Daemons can be fought, they can be killed....they just...some are harder than others and some take damage from different things. All will take damage from light based things though, it's why I use Quicksilver here. One of the best guns for tracking moving targets and destroying limbs.

What I'm trying to say is that they are beatable....don't give up. If a scrawny kid like me could fight them for five years, a whole group of us can do it just fine.

Also...if you have any questions I might be able to help.

About the daemons....not much else though...sorry.

sounds like daemonblight

gotta dump strong enough purification on em and itll help

but sounds like you had a case of one person strong enough to overwhelm it

hope weve enough purifyers to dump it on the kids in the castle huh

[ Because there is that other option. He's familiar with that one. ]

[pisticus]

Well I mean sort of?
Lady Lunafreya sort of....I guess the Oracle was to take the blight into themselves?
But who knows, maybe something will work?
It'd be better than the alternative if you ask me.

[ He's seen enough people go south, he doesn't want to see that here if he can help it. ]

[shirtlesspersona]

well that sounds like it didnt work out well in the end

i might be able to get my purification back
probably best to let someone who already got it do their thing though

or hope for your lady or mine to show up

[pisticus]

It....well it would have been better...but we had to deal with a...complication.

[ Prompto...that "complication" has a name. ]

If Lady Luna was here, oh man that would be awesome!

But...can that happen? Can...can people show up from different times?

[ She's sort of 10 years dead for him... ]

[shirtlesspersona]

totally
someones here from when i knew him a good century ago
[ When I knew him a good century ago. Yeah sorry he's not human at all- ]

of course
hes the only one from home whos here with me so
who knows how it works

[pisticus]

Oh...well then here's to hoping?
Also...a century? Wooow.

Yeah there's one other here, she's fought a bunch of the daemons too.

[shirtlesspersona]

im probably off by a decade or two
its a lot easier to round up


well
even if its not the same
im pretty used to fighting what used to be people
ill keep em away from the main areas at least

[pisticus]

Heh, yeah I wouldn't know

Right, if you need any help...let me know.

[ It's been a little bit after his....'talk' with Wade. ]

I might be doing a little hunting myself

[shirtlesspersona]

sure
either look for a lot of wind doing not normal wind stuff
or a shirtless guy with white tattoos


eitherll be me

[pisticus]

wind doing not normal wind stuff?
uh...
okay?

shirtless guy with tattoos almost sounds like my friend, heh. only he wasn't actually shirtless...just never wore a shirt under his jacket.

[shirtlesspersona]

yeah
i dunno if you can see me

so either the wind will be acting really weird
or youll see me

and clearly he has great taste

[pisticus]

why wouldn't I be able to?
also
yeah Gladio had the body for it

[shirtlesspersona]

human perception thing
sometimes people can sometimes they cant
you might be able to
unless everyone can see those daemons
then i got no idea

hahaha
well
much better than not and trying

[pisticus]

Huh
Okay
Well I guess I might see you out there then
