DUNGEON LOG: AMESTA FOREST
Hello everyone!
Up and the others think that we have enough stabilizers ready for the next expedition! We're going to the forest to the south this time, but it shouldn't be too far for anyone to walk. If you're REALLY going to complain, you can talk to Top on the roof and catch a ride on one of the drones like before.
The scenery's really nice, but there's definitely some kind of magical effect going on in there - as far as we can tell, the day doesn't progress inside the forest. It's stuck a little while after sunset - probably when the Fissure first appeared? (°ヘ°)
Be careful out there! Don't be afraid to call for help if you need it and we'll send a drone your way! o(^▽^)o And Strange says no stupid stunts this time, got it? (；¬д¬)
You'll probably see a big tree on your way there, before you're under the cover of the forest! That's the Infinity Tree, it's a really big willow. Charm can probably tell you more about the mythology if you're interested. He's gonna meet you guys there at the end of the expedition, so try to work your way in that direction as you go!
(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ See you when you get back!
After Down's message, characters will find things set up much the way they were last time on the roof. Top is making last-minute adjustments to the drones, and there's tables with food and medical supplies set out - the latter a little sparse compared to last time, so hopefully you kept your first aid kits from before. The table of stabilizers, on the other hand, is much more full.
On your way, you might also see some of what the construction drones have been putting together so noisily these last few days - there's the metal shell of a building, similar to but smaller than the Station, to the immediate west, just off your path to the forest in the distance. Nothing much indicates its function as of yet, though there are significantly more windows.
To the southwest stretches the border of Amesta Forest - about a mile distant, though still easily within sight. As promised, the Infinity Tree sticks up from the far edge, easily visible for those who need a landmark either now or later in the dungeon. If you get lost, you can probably find your way up a tree somewhere to get a perspective on it, and which direction to head in.
The silver mist doesn't begin until some distance into the forest, the time of day gradually changing to the eternal twilight mentioned as you approach the boundary of the Fissure itself. There's no distinct border, just a slow shading towards late afternoon and then sunset while the mist increases around you.
And as the mist wraps around you, and exhaustion you might have felt from the walk out here starts to evaporate... You've well and truly arrived, now. Better keep your eyes open.

[He bumps Ignis's arm lightly--a touch to confirm he's there more than a nudge, even--and keeps his head turned Iggy's way to smile even if Ignis can't see it.]
What'd you order?
no subject
[It's incredibly welcome, after dealing with a certain family.]
I asked for the chef's specialty. [Because of course he did. It's a little spicy, with prawns and, like everything else, noodles.
And yes he is already trying to figure out how to replicate it.]
no subject
[He leans over to inspect Ignis's bowl, makes a thoughtful sound, and returns properly to his seat.]
Smells incredible. Looks like you made the right choice.
no subject
[Not his best work, but still. He's getting back into his groove.]
Would you like a taste? It would good having another point of reference if I want to make it myself.

[He tries to make it sound like he was just being polite and really is happy to butt in on Ignis's flavor experience, but the truth is he's not hungry, he just wants to lie down and sleep and he can't, here. Still, spicy soup is 100% Argentum Certified Delish, and he hums appreciatively, pushing it back in front of Ignis.]
Oh, dude, yeah. You have got to put your spin on that. I'll do whatever you want, forever.
no subject
Would you tell me what's on your mind, too?
[He rests his hand on his chin, totally casual.]

[What has anyone on Eos done to deserve Ignis Perfect Man Scientia? Prompto shifts in his seat, laces and unlaces his fingers, and eventually lets out a shaky breath.]
I'm just... tired. I'm tired of having to be scared all the time. And Ardyn's here, and things are happening to me that I don't understand...
[He swallows and turns it into a sigh.]
I thought, maybe we could be safe here for a while. But that was wishful thinking, I guess.
no subject
Prompto. [He keeps his voice soft, not wanting to spook him. He might not know all the intricacies of what he went through in Zegnautus, and he might not be privy to every detail of his past, but he knows enough that he can't blame Prompto for being afraid.
And he can't tell him that Ardyn means no harm, because even if Ignis is willing to work with him, he's still not so sure there won't be harm done anyways.] We will keep you safe. You're not alone here, and no harm will come to you as long as you remember you can lean on us when you need to.
no subject
I-I know.
['C'mon, Crown citizen.' 'You're one of us, right?' 'Unless you'd rather not be.'
It's always been that way. They've always protected him the way that counts, the best friends he's ever known. Prompto bumps Ignis's arm again, lightly, and wishes he could just pour out all the gratitude in his heart so Ignis could feel it in his hands, like that bowl of soup.]
Thanks, Ignis. Don't put yourself out too much for me, though, all right? It's enough for me that you're here. Besides, you just got here, so let me and Noct take care of you first for a while, yeah?
no subject
[He keeps his voice soft, and there's a smile on his face. A small thing, reserved only for Prompto, and he hopes he realizes that much.
He is a part of his life he would never want replaced, and he would go to the same ends for Prompto that he would for Noctis. He's never been as certain of that as he is now.]
I would say you don't need to worry about me, but...just this once, it wouldn't be so bad. As long as you still manage to take care of yourselves.
[He bumps him back, gently, but he doesn't make any motion to pull away.]
no subject
Of course. We're not totally hopeless, you know?
[And Prompto leans, just a little, into the contact.]
Only mostly.
