Video 001: First Shot in the Dark
[ 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.

Publicly exorcisin' all these skeletons in my closet, really appreciate that. Real considerate, how ya educate all these fine, upstandin' heroes about all the crap you think you know 'bout me.
[ If he wasn't so insulted, so betrayed, maybe he'd feel the resounding mortification, the utter self-loathing that lies beneath. But right now, the only thing burning him more than his fever-sick magic is his outrage. ]
But hey, you're bad at this. You're doin' this my own good. Guess that makes it all better.
Here's where you sigh like the misunderstood, long-suffering conceited prick you are.

That you love your brother? Gosh, big secret!
That you're a time traveler? Hey, guess who's been wearing that NEON SIGN over his head this whole time?
That you're not doing well? If you think the whole castle can't see it then you're blind!
Hey, yeah, how about I shut up and not say anything and let nature take its course. Because people ignoring the signs always works out so well in history, right?
I was just trying to tell you not to be a jerk to someone who's having a rough time. Now we're throwing down and you're probably ending a friendship 'cause I'm worried that you're gonna die?
PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU, YOU SELF LOATHING SACK OF BONES AND REGRET!

[ His skull is dotted with congealing waste magic. He doesn't bother to wipe away the sweat, even though it chills him (ha ha) to the bone.
On the bright side - he doesn't feel his aches anymore. He ain't feeling much of anything right now, just a frigid band of disbelief tightening around his ribs. ]
Look at you, so put-upon. Tryin' so hard to get through to this--what'd you call it? Guy circlin' the drain? Protecting the newbie. Because you care.
Ain't that sweet.
[ I trusted you. He keeps coming back to that, stunned. I trusted you.
And he's gonna be the bad guy in this? Well. Sure. Ok. This is just fine. None of this is gonna matter. ]
Least you could'a done is get your facts straight. Since you care so much.
See ya, gotta get back to waitin' to die, right?

I came to check on you, multiple times, to see what I could do. You brushed me off. You acted like you were fine, even as you were accumulating the signs YOU TOLD ME ABOUT!
How am I supposed to do the right thing when I don't know what it is?! How am I supposed to chart a course when I can't see?!
Sweet chaos, you even know I don't think like other people, don't understand, and still...

He's so...! ]

[ ...tired. ]
Nah. I'm done.
It was fun.
