Prompto Argentum shared a photo. 03/14 near Hollingberry Field

you ever have something happen to you that you're like "nah that'll never happen to me" but then here you are, plus one dog and feeling the weight of parental responsibility on your shoulders? i'm too young for this. anyway this is ruffles at the dog park just now! retrospec's width limitations suck but, you can probably tell he's a really good dog. well, i guess, with his previous owner and all. so i pose this question to you: do you think animals can feel sad and do they miss people that are no longer here?

[are you talking about yourself or the dog, prompto?]

I'd been wondering where Officer Amicia's dog went. I'm glad he ended up with a good owner. You'll do fine, I'm sure of it. Besides, he's a friendly pup.

Feel free to let me know next time you two are going to the park! Daisuke needs friends, too, and he should get some exercise without overexerting himself.

[mercurio]

yeah, he dropped ruffles off a few days ago before he left. i just hope i can make him proud.

[the dog? gladio???]

i'm planning dog dates for my dog now i guess this is my life
i wanna try taking him every day when i can, late afternoons
he's been coming with me for morning jogs

[standalonehuman]

[Too bad this isn't video.]

I hear the play date planning thing gets worse when you become a parent.

[Ah, too bad Togusa can't pay Prompto for blackmail photos of the look on his own face.]

But we'll come meet you when we can. It's good that you're going to do something with him every day, though. Gladio's schedule was like mine, pretty erratic. If you give him something regular to look forward to, he'll settle in to the change quicker.

[mercurio]

i can't even plan a date for myself, seriously... never becoming a parent
i'll definitely do what i can for ruffles! he deserves as much
thankfully he seems to like sitting on the scooter when i drive around

[prompto..]

[standalonehuman]

I am going to need pictures of this.

But it'd be good to catch up and talk. Ruffles isn't the only one who misses the big guy.

I keep forgetting that his desk is going to stay empty.

[mercurio]

[he sends selfies of the instance, because obviously prompto has taken pictures already? please.]

that's depressing
i'm down for dropping by to the station with ruffles or the dog park

[standalonehuman]

Oh, that's adorable. See, he likes you already!

We'll meet you at the dog park. I've got tomorrow morning off. See how well Daisuke does.

Completely off-topic. Did you have any plans for that upcoming pageant?

[mercurio]

gotcha
pageant: i'll be taking pictures for it! why?

[standalonehuman]

Oh, excellent!
You see, I went to go help my best friend with his signup (he needed some encouragement).

[Because Koutarou ended up in the Crossdressing category completely of his own volition.]

And while I was being a good friend, I couldn't help but peek at the competition, and noticed that Officer Juzo Sakakura has been signed up in the Crossdressing pageant.

Half the guys at the Department are willing to pay you for photos of this.

[mercurio]

lol you guys i don't even wanna ask
but if i'm getting paid i can produce pictures for sure
you sure i won't get into trouble for it? since that's a copper and all

[standalonehuman]

Nah, you'll be fine. You're just taking pictures of the event. And a lot of other people will be, too. So Sakakura doesn't need to know that you're our source when shots of him in a dress keep showing up on his desk.

He's a great cop, but I cannot just let an opportunity like this pass.

[mercurio]

crossing my fingers that he ain't reading this conversation...
but i'm down

[you guys are like a bunch of frat boys]
