i've never sped away from a cop.
knowing my luck that'd turn into one of those helicopter police chases you see on tv

[standalonehuman]

The RPD doesn't have a helicopter.

Now, if the chocobos could fly like they look like they should be able to?

[embraves]

if i get chased by flying cop chocobos then i'm pretty sure someone needs to pinch and wake me up

how do you know they don't have a helicopter?

[standalonehuman]

[Oops.]

Well, the Department doesn't have a pad for it, does it? I've never seen one in the city.

[embraves]

i don't know
i've never seen one
doesn't mean i assume that there ISN'T one

[standalonehuman]

[You know, why don't we have a helicopter?]

I would say they could borrow one from Fort McCoy, but I've never seen one there, either.

[embraves]

don't they have chocobos or something now

[standalonehuman]

The Department does, I dunno about the army guys. But add that to the list of 'things I'd like to see.'

[All right. Time to take a page from Ardyn's book.]

So. Do we keep the game going, or do you give up on trying to figure out where your text went, instead of where you tried to send it?

[embraves]

what?

[Wait a second. He's confused, and it's only when he double checks the number this has gone to does he realize that he's been having an entire conversation with a stranger.]

crap
you couldn't have told me earlier?

[standalonehuman]

If it's any consolation, I don't know who this is, either. I was trying to see if you'd slip up and I could figure it out, but you haven't yet.

[embraves]

you could've just asked

my name is cloud.

[standalonehuman]

Wait. Cloud Strife?

Aw crap. I wasn't supposed to mess with you.

[embraves]

yeah, cloud strife.
you weren't "supposed" to? according to...?

[standalonehuman]

According to me.
Officer Hitori Togusa. Hi.
I am already in hot water with Prompto and I don't need more reasons for him to get mad at me.

[embraves]

shit
you're a cop?

[WHY]

all that stuff i wrote was just hypothetical, all right?

[standalonehuman]

Of course it was, because we proved it wouldn't work.

I'm not on Highway anyway.

[But I know someone who is~]

[embraves]

just pretend you didn't see any of this, okay
you're friends with my brother?

[standalonehuman]

[Fuck.]

so long as you pretend I don’t know what you just told me. Crap. I didn’t mean to find that out.

I honestly don’t know anymore. He’s very important to me but I think he just wants me to leave him alone.

[embraves]

fine by me. pretending all around.

why? did something happen?

[standalonehuman]

Yeah. It’s all my fault, I keep butting into his life where he doesn’t need help or treating him like he cant take care of himself.

My problem. It’s all right.

[embraves]

i can talk to him about it if you want
i know that's probably the opposite of not "butting in" but prompto doesn't seem like the type who would hold a grudge...

[standalonehuman]

It’s not even really a grudge, it’s just that every conversation with him turns awkward. Things just end up happening.

This conversation is the best example: whoops, hey, Prompto, I found out on accident you have a brother! I have to go explain that to him before he finds out some other way.

[embraves]

believe me
it's not like he kept it a secret

[standalonehuman]

Except he did from me. When I asked him about you, he wouldn't tell me why he was looking for you.

[embraves]

...oh
that doesn't sound like him to me, like i said
to hold a grudge like that

what *exactly* happened between you two, then?
