Who: Ignis & you!
Where: The residential areas, Ainea’s temple, and various other places in the city!
When: March
What: Ignis keeps himself busy. That’s what he’s good at, especially in the face of friends and family disappearing or being ill.
Rating: G, PG? There shouldn’t be anything too bad, will update if necessary!


homemade target practice; (residential area)
[The target isn’t much to look at, at first. It’s what seems to be a couch pillow, propped up against the wall of the house that Ignis has been calling home with Regis and Cor. It’s positioned as far away from the windows as Ignis could get it, and that’s going to be good enough for now. Maybe, some day, he’ll get a proper target, but for now he’s making due.

(He’ll have to apologize to Regis, when he wakes up, for destroying the pillow. Definitely when, and not if.)

There’s a lance - a peculiar looking lance, that seems to have an engine, for some reason? - propped against the wall, and Ignis holds a pair of rather elaborate daggers. The man raises and lowers them for a moment, as if testing their weight and balance, before tossing one into the air.

...And kicking it.

It changes course, piercing the cushion with a dull noise. Ignis approaches the slain softness, reaching out with curious fingers to see where it landed.]


Could be better…

[And with that, he pulls the dagger free.]

taking care of worry warts; (ainea’s temple)
[Ignis is concerned for Regis - of course he is. The man has gone to sleep, and from what he’s gleaned from others, he’s...changing. And nobody has any idea when - or if - he’ll wake up. It’s enough to cause panic, but…

Ignis is nothing if not practical. He has the time to worry here, but he doesn’t want to let himself get consumed by it. Things aren’t helped by the disappearance of Lunafreya, either, so he can’t blame people for being afraid.

(He can’t blame himself for being afraid.)

Still, fear and worry are no reason not to take care of yourself. He slips in holding a thermos, and he approaches with enough noise to mark his arrival.]


I brought soup. You should eat.

[And no, he won’t take “no” or “I’m not hungry” for an answer.]

city rumbling; (various!)
[The earthquakes are concerning. The fact the locals are excited about the earthquakes is, somehow, more concerning. A sign? Any sign or warning like this isn’t good, and Ignis isn’t particularly keen to live through any sort of natural disaster. It was bad enough when it was Titan shaking the earth - at least they knew what was happening.

Still, the quakes don’t stop him from getting out into the city. He can be found just about anywhere - in cafes and shops, near the wall. He goes where he pleases, cane in hand as he makes his way through the city.

It’s...nice, here.]

...You really shouldn't waste something like that on me. I've told you before I don't require it.
scourgingstars: (don't you put me on the backburner)

[personal profile] scourgingstars 2020-03-08 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ardyn sighed quietly, but didn't seem to want to argue any further than that.]

...Thank you.
scourgingstars: (i'll never wear your broken crown)

[personal profile] scourgingstars 2020-03-15 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone's as well as can be expected, so the answer varies. Worried as I am for Noctis, I think he will be well enough once all of this passes.
scourgingstars: (dear lord hear this call)

[personal profile] scourgingstars 2020-03-15 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He knew surprisingly little, except in perhaps the occasional thing let slip by Cor and the others. But it wasn't for him to press the matter or question, not when he already knew far more than he wanted to of the future.]

...He does seem worried about that, yes. I'm sure it's not going to come to that, but I know such reassurances do little.

flawed_immortality: (No we're not in paradise)

temple~

[personal profile] flawed_immortality 2020-03-05 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ignis slips into Regis' room and Cor is immediately pushing to his feet. Once he registers who it is, though he slumps back against the wall. Ah... Ignis... He'd worried it might have been one of the priests come to fuss at them again, or another of Regis' friends that wished to check on him.

At least with Ignis he needn't put on any pretenses of being okay.]


Soup? .... What kind?

[If there's vegetables in it Noct will never eat it... which is clearly the concern here, not Cor. Then again Noctis has been sleeping on his dad as often as not for days.
Getting him to wake up enough for food is unlikely.]


I'm not sure he'll wake up long enough to eat...

[Depression naps be like that.]
flawed_immortality: (There comes a time)

[personal profile] flawed_immortality 2020-03-09 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely not. Then again there aren't many soups Noctis would willingly eat.

Cor has a moment of just staring at Ignis in surprise. Wait... for him?]


Oh... That wasn't nece- [He stops himself, sighing.] Thank you, Ignis.
flawed_immortality: (It's the heat that makes you strong)

[personal profile] flawed_immortality 2020-03-15 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, he's learning!

Ignis sits beside him and Cor reaches out, resting a hand over the advisor's forearm. A brief squeeze, an attempt at reassurance. Then Cor is taking the lid off that thermos, sniffing it curiously.

It smells amazing, of course, and when he takes a sip it's only ever so faintly tinny. An unfortunate side effect of using fabricated ingredients, not unlike using canned tomatoes. The fact that it's as subtle as it is is a testament to Ignis' skill.

Soup is warm, a deep kind of satisfaction enhanced by the slow spread of heat in his belly. He... hadn't realized how hungry he was. He was still recovering, himself, after all.]


Magnificent as always.
flawed_immortality: (When will we learn)

[personal profile] flawed_immortality 2020-03-27 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ignis is probably the first person Cor was readily so touchy with here, aside from his Majesty of course. He'd learned over the years that the small touches he uses were as much a reassurance to Ignis as a smile. He was much better at encouraging shoulder pats than smiles, anyway.

Cor hums softly, a pleased little sound of contentment as he sips at the soup.]


Nothing has changed, he's... still.

[In a way that made Cor's stomach drop every time he walked into the room.]

more temple, surprising no one

[personal profile] carbungle 2020-03-06 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[The offer gets little more than a vague noise out of Noctis at first, and there's a pause before a hand lifts to accept the offered thermos. He doesn't especially want to talk, does not trust his voice not to tremble, but sitting in silence isn't fair to Ignis who can't see him or read his expression the way he used to. And talking will help him stay awake, while the fear of sleeping still weighs on him too deeply to willingly lay down yet.

So, finally:]


...Thanks.

[About as weak as he'd expected, but... he's talking, at least.]
carbungle: ponponpon @ dw (is the only light we'll see)

[personal profile] carbungle 2020-03-08 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Always working.

[His tone is rueful, but there's underlying gratitude in there too. He might complain about the nagging sometimes, but Ignis has always made it a priority to take care of him, and when he actually needs it, it makes all the difference.

Ignis also keeps a respectable distance at times, but since Luna's disappearance Noctis has decided that this week, in particular, he can handle no barriers. Contact is important, contact is grounding, would be so even if this place wasn't what it is. So when Ignis sits, Noctis shifts over in a way that bumps their shoulders together, and he stays there.]
carbungle: nxctcaelum @ tumblr (221)

[personal profile] carbungle 2020-03-15 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[They do, and even Noctis has the sense to recognize that. Losing people can send the world off-kilter, change one's trajectory; these past few days, it's been reminding him of what he has and what more there is to lose. Maybe he wasn't doing enough. Maybe this was a warning.

It's absurd, of course- even without actually doing much, he and Luna had often been in contact, idle handholds, brushing touches. Like they were trying to remind each other that they were there, real, finally together again. If that wasn't enough for the gods to keep her here, he doesn't know what would be. That sort of thing couldn't be forced, not on people who grew up like they did.

Gods, though. He's so sick of... protocol. The crown he'd never even worn isn't meant to be a barrier between him and ones he cares about. Luna with her devotion to what he's meant to be one day, or Ignis and his careful professionalism... it's much easier to see in retrospect, and it feels pointless. Even if he were a king or the Chosen here - which he isn't - it shouldn't matter with them.

Ignis doesn't pull away, though, and Noctis accepts that small mercy. He fiddles with the thermos lid, not opening it just yet; he's not hungry, but it wouldn't do to let himself starve waiting for his father to wake.]


I miss you.

[...ah. He hadn't actually meant to say it out loud, and there's a tension in his shoulders now where he rests against the other man.]

target practice

[personal profile] this_loser 2020-03-12 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Poor pillow.

Standing well clear of the man and the "target" until after the impressive kick is delivered and the dagger is safely embedded, Prompto watches.]


I dunno. Looked pretty good to me.

[It hit the thing it was supposed to hit, right?]
this_loser: (Default)

[personal profile] this_loser 2020-03-16 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't do fancy kicks like that with guns.

[..]

Well, you could... [That'd be real useless with a gun, though.]





this_loser: (01 smile hand)

[personal profile] this_loser 2020-03-29 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. I've only got one cool kicky move.

[And that's to get something into his hands rather than out of. Unfortunately, it also means getting right up into Bad Guy personal space.]

If I'm launching my gun at something, it's because it's no longer useful as a gun. And that's about as effective as throwing a rock.

Daggers are way better for that.
