[Uggggh fine. He'll...sit. Whatever. He'll get a drink later when he's alone and wanting to sulk. But in the end he settles and he looks at the portrait across from them.]
Probably. Or they're expecting something else from us that we haven't done yet. People are like that sometimes.
[Seems messed up is right, especially when Junpei makes a face that's part annoyance and part agreement.]
But they brought a bunch of people to this place that have never even had experience with that. Could mean one of two things. We're dealing with a bunch of assholes, or there's a bigger picture for why this group of people woke up here.
[...] Not that those are mutually exclusive, but the latter's what I'm thinking.
It could be some kind of experiment to see what would happen? [ making a sound as he lowers his voice. ] At this point I don't know if it's better to try giving them what it seems like they want or not...
It's possible. Leave people to their own devices and see what they come up with. I've never really been interested in giving in just because people want me to. [Prompto. Junpei just...kind of eyes him.]
What do you think? [He's definitely teasing him again because it's funny, and also he's kind of hardpressed to admit anything about himself.]
[Can someone save Prompto x2? This is maybe a conversation they shouldn't be having considering Junpei just left a haunted studio, but here we are.]
Maybe. [Is that an agreement or is that a joke? There's something of a smirk there but haha, time to move on!] ...I'm looking for a way out of here before then. I'd rather not see it come to that. [So. There's that.]
Not joking. Real far from joking. [He drops a hand over his eyes.] Because clearly just bringing us here and locking us in wasn't enough. We had to be some demonic sacrifice, too.
Because I think I just met one. A ghost, I mean. [He's not even making sense it's fine.]
We found a way inside one of the rooms, but we weren't exactly alone. Whoever was with us wanted to fuck with us in a way to make sure we knew they were watching.
[He's physically fine, but he's kind of mentally flipping out even if he's not letting himself show it. Thank you for your concern.]
Pretty sure it scared the girl I was with more than me or the other guy. [That doesn't answer the question either.] ...it's not easy stuff to deal with. The things we saw in that room almost felt like a warning instead of something just to scare us.
A ghost grabbed one of us. When we left the room, whatever was there immediately started rearranging everything back to the way it was. Like it was satisfied with what we just did.
[ That's not a no, but he's not going to point that out. Reaching over to give him a nudge against his shoulder with his knuckles. It's a very light nudge. ]
Maybe it's not a bad ghost then?
[ He can hope. ]
The voice on the intercom didn't seem bad at least.
That's a little too optimistic, Prompto. We have to think about it in the way that makes sense, and that is...that they're partially responsible for bringing us here. Does that make them good or bad?
Some people might make the most of it and it won't be so bad. Others are going to have a hard time here. [But he's still talking so he apparently considers Prompto some kind of comrade in this situation. Friend is a stretch because friends are hard, but it's fine.]
...but yeah. The company could be worse. [There's a thin smile.] Been making a lot of friends already then?

Oh boy, people expecting us to be mind readers. What would they even expect? I get we have pretty heavy handed hints for sex, but...
[ Seems messed up ]

[ A beat ] Do you have any experience with it?
no subject
What do you think? [He's definitely teasing him again because it's funny, and also he's kind of hardpressed to admit anything about himself.]
no subject
Huh. I guess we'll find out eventually.
[ Don't ask him this. He has no idea because like Junpei seems like he would have experience? ]
Mmmmaybe?
[ Is that a good answer? ]
no subject
Maybe. [Is that an agreement or is that a joke? There's something of a smirk there but haha, time to move on!] ...I'm looking for a way out of here before then. I'd rather not see it come to that. [So. There's that.]
no subject
Have you found anything so far?
no subject
Where do you think I just came from? [Oh.] Wasn't an exit, but...maybe it was supposed to help.
no subject
You don't really sound so sure about that, dude.
[ is this going to be cursed knowledge ]
no subject
Do you believe in ghosts, Prompto?
no subject
G-ghosts? I-um. Yeah, I do. Please don't tell me this place is haunted.
[ Too spooky for him ]
no subject
Alright. I won't say it. [Ganba, Prompto.]
no subject
[ Oh noooooo ]
Oh boy, why did it have to be a haunted sex hotel?
no subject
no subject
Is that why we're here? To be some kind of sacrifice?

Dude, you're going to give me a heart attack. What makes you think it's possible?
