♥ What: One General OPEN Prompt + Catch-all!
♥ Rating: E for everyone, will update if necessary

Hand-holding
[ Have a woman with short, red hair wave and then approach you, whether or not she knows you. Her presence is warm, and her smile is even warmer. She offers a hand. Easy enough, right? This is the simplest method to generate some of this contact-energy and get money out of it, too.  ] 

Would you like to go for a walk?

Catch-All
[ This is a catch-all for January! Top Levels to follow below. If you'd like a thread for this month, HMU with a wildcard below (Pyra can be found just about anywhere around town), PM me or PP me at drinksteapots! ]

[He laughs with her.]

Never knew anyone that was too excited about running. I'm not even excited about it half the time.

[But it was ingrained habit by now. It felt weird not to run. Which is why he has a dedicated set of running clothes - just a loose shirt and shorts - that maybe don't smell so great by the end of the week.]

[iustaegis]

[ She extends her back, leaning down further into the stretch as her hands hold his. ] You... normally run with Cor, [ Beat. She looks up at him. ] Cor-rect?

[ She'll see herself out. ]

[this_loser]

That was bad and you should feel bad.

[Joking, of course.]

But ... yes. Cor-rect.

[iustaegis]

[ Fingerguns-- okay no, she doesn't do that, but she gives his hands a squeeze as she chuckles. ]

So... what's on our agenda first to run to? [ And take a picture at? ]

[this_loser]

[He can feel the spirit of the fingerguns from here.]

I usually head head to the fountain first, if that's alright? I like to end in the gardens, but I'm flexible.

[iustaegis]

Staring out with a splash, mm?

[ Aaaand now done with the stretches, she stands up, pulling him up with her hand.

With prolonging touch in mind, she keeps her hand in his. It might not be the most effective way to run while holding hands, but it'll have to do. ] Alright, let's start.

[this_loser]

[He snorts.] Have you met Iggy yet? I think you'd get along.

[He hops up with a bounce. There's going to be an adjustment period while he gets used to running and holding hands.] I should warn you now, I'm kind of a klutz.

[iustaegis]

[ Has she met Iggy? YES, she has. They've interacted a few times by now, and she nods to their question. ]

A klutz with... running? [ How even-- oh well, she's determined to see this through. ] Don't worry, don't worry... I'll catch you if you fall.

[ Ready to begin? ]

[this_loser]

[Good. Iggy is great and needs more friends.]

A klutz with basically everything. But don't worry. [He gives her hand a squeeze before starting forward.] I haven't tripped in at least a week.

[An even jog to start, until they find a stride that is comfortable for both.]

[iustaegis]

[ Matching his strides, holding hands while jogging isn't that uncomfortable as she thought it would be.

It will be a few minutes of jogging at this pace before they approach their first landmark for a photo-op. And when they do, she brings out her own communicator. ] First one is on me.

[this_loser]

As long as you send me a copy.

[He grins, leaning in with a peace sign. Usually he's the one holding the camera, but he's adaptable.]

[iustaegis]

[ Aaaaand snap. She mimics the peace-sign he's made, then flips the camera around to the front to look at the photo... ]

I think this one is good! [ She cheers, grabbing a hold of his hand again. ] Onto the next one!

[ Sorry to interrupt your daily running routine by adding in photos. ]

[this_loser]

Not bad. You could go pro.

[Was there a profession for selfies?

He's fine with a the interruptions, though normally he doesn't stop. Not unless there's a photo op he can't pass up.]

What made you want to do this, anyway?

[iustaegis]

[ And so they continue to job, hand in hand. It'll take a bit to speak and to run, however. Fortunately, they're going at an amicable pace.

What made her want to do this, he asks? The answer is simple. ]

To spend time with you, of course.

[ He is a great hand-holding buddy, after all. ] I wanted to see your strength...

[this_loser]

Uh...

[He would blush, but he trips instead, caught between a laugh and a protest. There was totally a rock there, honest.

He catches himself before he can fall and drag her down with him. And then he does laugh, in that embarrassed kind of way.]

I... I don't know what to say to that.

1/2

[iustaegis]

[ Don't think about it and just hold her hand, Prompto-- ] Oh!

[ --except it almost slips out of hers when he trips. Thankfully he recovers, and she with a little pull she sets him upright. ]

[iustaegis]

A--are you okay, there? [ He is, but she's still asking just because. She laughs in the same manner, only more softly, as if relieved.

Jokingly, ] We can't have any scrapes on your face, if we're going to take more pictures!

[this_loser]

Yep! I'm good.

[He smiles sheepishly and uses his free hand to smooth over his hair and clothes.]

Sorry about that. People don't usually, uh, talk about my ... strength. But it's cool. [He does not mind!]
