[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?
[Polly is...so much. He seems to make note of those names, though there's a little bit of an actual smile at the mention of Nightwing and Escha.]
Logy's the only one I haven't officially met myself, but Escha's told me about him. The others have been decent so far. Maybe our captors really did account for some people making friends instead of friends with benefits.
There's usually a plan in these things. [People form bonds and then tear them down later. It happens.] With how specific people's experiences are and the items they were given or had taken from them...you think they didn't account for that?

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.]

[ Oh noooooo ]
Oh boy, why did it have to be a haunted sex hotel?

Is that why we're here? To be some kind of sacrifice?

Not knowing sucks. Knowing also sucks. These are both bad options. ]
Dude, you're going to give me a heart attack. What makes you think it's possible?

[ Has he met Polly yet? ]
I wouldn't say a lot. Just a few... Besides you there's Hizamaru, Nightwing, Escha, and Logy.
[ You're friends already. ]

He's a dependable guy. He even lent me his arm after I got out of the freezer.
[ Also he's not going to think about his friends being fwbs. ]
Maybe there wasn't much of a plan when they grabbed people?
