[ 1 | Like a week before everyone finds out they're going to Jhashch:]

hey, what kind of stuff have you guys seen? anything photo worthy?? i wanna see your pics!

[ 2 | And like an hour later, he adds another message. Yes, these are technically separate posts.]

quick question!!
where are you guys from?
bonus points if it isn't earth (but earth is ok too obv!)

[ 3 | And then again, though this one is at least a few days later:]

ssssssssooo
informal poll time!
is it normal for people not to remember joining cost
i mean like
do you remember?

jw bc i've met a LOT of people who don't remember

[ 4 | And at some even later point:]

OMG LOOK

[ATTACHMENT: LOOK.png] [Pretend the background to that photo is more BASE appropriate.]

SHE'S SO CUTE
WHAT DO I DO???>>
😩😩😩😩
someone help how do you take care of a chocobo in omnispace

[I'm sorry for everything.]

Comments

[millimeter]

maybe? can't hurt to ask
and idk if there's any other way to find out

when you say you don't remember tho
does that mean you've been with cost longer than that?

[mylawn]

Supposedly I was here six months prior to the first mission that I actually remember.

[millimeter]

omg does ANYONE here remember joining?????

[Prompto has met like...two people who remember. Excluding himself.]

[mylawn]

Yeah, a few. If they recruit in batches, though, it makes sense that the glitch would affect a lot of us.

Or we could just be brainwashed.

[millimeter]

wow, that's a positive thought

idg how the glitch works really, but it's creepy to think we could forget everything so easily
some things just seem way too important to forget

[mylawn]

I'm trying to be realistic.

[It could be fine. It could be horrible. There is probably an equal chance of both.]

I think I would have signed up if they asked me, but I was a little busy with some important things back home. Not sure I would've left it behind unless there was a good reason.

[millimeter]

do you think you did everything you had to do and agreed after that then?

i mean
possible brainwashing aside

[mylawn]

No, I don't.

[Largely because there's another person involved, and, well. She isn't here.]

[millimeter]

why's that?

[Don't just leave him hanging.]

[mylawn]

There's someone back home I wouldn't have left.

[millimeter]

[That's definitely something Prompto would have thought if he didn't remember joining COST.]

so then
do you ACTUALLY think it's brainwashing??

[mylawn]

I have to entertain it as a possibility.

But if I was brainwashed, maybe I wouldn't be able to wonder about it. Who knows.

[millimeter]

wow
that's dedication dude
that kind of recursive thinking would give me migraines for days

[mylawn]

I do it so you don't have to.

[millimeter]

thanks? i think

idk this conversation has probably already made me more paranoid

[mylawn]

A little paranoia is healthy.

[millimeter]

ok, but where do you draw the line between that and TOO much paranoia?

[mylawn]

[there is no such thing.]

I don’t know. Depends on the person.

[millimeter]

somehow this isn't very reassuring

[mylawn]

If you've never had someone try to kill you, you probably don't have anything to worry about.

[millimeter]

uh
i kinda think the regency has tried to kill everyone here at LEAST once??

[mylawn]

Then it's going to help being a little paranoid.

[millimeter]

are you doing this on purpose

[mylawn]

I'm very serious.

[millimeter]

that sounds fake but ok

[tamw Prompto ends up suspicious of the guy who made him suspicious.]
