[Even now Abel knows Cain probably isn't one to opt for befriending a ridiculous party boy who loved forced cuddling, he probably wanted to do something a little more straightforward.]
[At least, Abel wants to believe that after what happened between them, Cain wasn't eager to do it again.]
If you're trying to be his friend, that makes it real. Maybe the beginning wasn't so genuine, but that doesn't mean it has to continue that way. Maybe he needs someone, a friend, to tell him to pick up after himself and actually pitch in with the relief effort instead of sitting back and getting high. You could be honest with him now that he values your opinion.
cain and i are both on a spy mission to befriend hideki and get to his parents through him particularly his mom i think was the end game of this whole thing
his family's pretty influential back in new amsterdam
so you see! i can't get super attached neither of us can
anyway is cool since you hang out a lot with cain thought it'd be fair that you know what is the haps you could help us if you liked! though i know you already got a lot on your plate
oh lol oops he just slipped into a ditch shiva's tits this guy is gonna get a concussion before the end of the day
No, I think I should stay out of it. Even if Hideki is fine with me helping myself to his alcohol, I don't want to push my luck or his goodwill. Or distract Cain.
Maybe get him out of the snow before he cracks his skull...
[he's texting all this while helping to pull hideki out of the snow; there's much laughter and cursing happening, because it was, in fact, pretty fucking funny.]
Technically Earth, but the last thing I remember I was in space, yes.
[Look just because he's livid with Cain right now doesn't mean he should take it out on poor Prompto. He should at least make an effort to not sound like he's about to throttle his Fighter.]
going to space sounds so cool i'm from a planet called eos
it's not too different from earth except that we got like magic and different fauna and six gods who make it their business to know what's happening once in a while
[Look Abel can teleport spaceships with his feelings, there is a lot he accepts he doesn't quite understand.]
I can't really agree with the idea that there's a god that dictates what happens to me and the people around me, we all make choices after all. 'The Devil Made Me Do It' isn't a viable excuse.
Not that your friend is crazy. I know of people who hear voices as well, translate vibrations from a piece of technology that transmits signals across galaxies. They're not quite divine though, they're more... angry righteousness.
they're pretty real! we've fought a few and one nearly drowned us in the sea as the king he's supposed to get their favor in order to fulfill a uh prophecy
[well, okay, remembering the prophecy is depressing stuff.]
not that they're actively granting miracles or anything
I never said they weren't real, what the women at MOTHER hear is just as real as what we're doing right now.
Does he get their favor by fighting them, though? It seems like a better idea to just talk things out and reach an agreement, it might last longer than just the lifespan of one king.
[This sounds like one of those 'tradition' things.]

@abel.navigator
Do you know if Hideki's in the room or... otherwise passed out? I have to get in there without much discussion.
[Read: he nicked a bottle of gin for his and Cain's heart-to-heart and has to plant it back under the bed now.]
no subject
hideki and i are walking around the city because he felt like he needed to do something
is it about the bottle of gin lol
[hideki figured it out, don't worry]
no subject
He noticed?!!
...I'm sorry, I didn't think he would realize it was missing before I put it back.
I hope he didn't get too difficult about it.
no subject
he's pretty legit about this kind of stuff
he said it was fine, a friend of his friend is his friend, or something
it's kinda hard to dislike this guy lol
no subject
[Cain and Abel came back from that supply run all warmth and none of the previous awkward, so that could be a massive understatement there.]
Are you sure about that? You both seem a little annoyed when he drags either of you into his clutches.
no subject
it's mostly just for show i guess
on my part anyway
dunno how cain's really taking it
he definitely was not in favor of the friendship route initially
even if none of this is real and hideki's just a target for the greater good of the displaced, or whatever
it's nice to have a friend like him
[prompto treading waters here; his heart is too involved. but, in any case, he does like feeling needed and wanted around.]

no subject
how much did cain tell you about hideki?
no subject
We were sorting some other things out.
I didn't really ask...
no subject
it's okay! well, guess i can tell you so long as you don't act all weird about it
can you keep a secret?
no subject
Weird about what?
I mean, sure, I'm pretty sure I can.
no subject
particularly his mom i think was the end game of this whole thing
his family's pretty influential back in new amsterdam
so you see! i can't get super attached
neither of us can
no subject
but don't tell anyone else? it'd suck to blow our cover
don't tell cain i told you plz
no subject
I won't tell anyone else.
Maybe we shouldn't discuss this anymore, I don't know how secure this network is.
no subject
anyway is cool
since you hang out a lot with cain thought it'd be fair that you know what is the haps
you could help us if you liked! though i know you already got a lot on your plate

hey you're also from space?
no subject
[Look just because he's livid with Cain right now doesn't mean he should take it out on poor Prompto. He should at least make an effort to not sound like he's about to throttle his Fighter.]
What about you?
no subject
i'm from a planet called eos
it's not too different from earth except that we got like magic and different fauna and six gods who make it their business to know what's happening once in a while
never been to space tho
no subject
no subject
idk they're just ~divine~ and stuff
my best friend can communicate with them
[in before abel thinks prompto is nuts]

as the king he's supposed to get their favor in order to fulfill a

prophecy

their trials are different
anyway, what's MOTHER? it's a thing cuz it's in all caps right?
[he doesn't want to talk about the astrals anymore, he jumped right into a sore spot without thinking about it.]
