Tuesday, 9th - [Video] (Later Loop) - Circumventing a Cult
[Gladio isn't sure how many people this will reach, but he has to try.
The video opens to him seated on a bench in a garden, looking worn but determined in simple black training clothes. His Moogle, Noodle, is dressed in a camouflaged-patterned dress with a black sequin headband, which contrasted ... interestingly with her pink fur and lacy pink pom-bow. She flits about nervously with a serious look on her face as Gladio talks.]
M'not sure who'll see this, but we figure it's worth a shot. I'm sure people have heard about the cult starting up in Nakagawa, and I'm sure a lot of us have seen their messages on the MogNet. So I'm reaching out to everyone, every Hero of Light and every Moogle.
We want to stop their messages. And we need help to do that. So if you're not ready to give up yet, and if you think the MogNet shouldn't be used for cult initiations, help us. For anyone who helps, I'll owe you any favor you want and, for any Moogles that help, I can try to convince my boyfriend to make you some specialty Kupo Nuts. Or we can figure out what you want for payment. But this place is worth saving, especially from a cult.
[Noodle takes over at this point, trying to help as best as she can.]
We need everyone, kupo, to stop the bad people! I don't know how to stop the messages, kupo... but someone out there has to! And if you help, you can join the club, kupo. [While Gladio facepalms in the background, Noodle gets closer to the slate and stage whispers.]
I don't know what that really means, kupo, but if it's a club we can get jackets! Right, kupo?! [A fresh wave of excitement at a special jacket takes over and Noodle whirls around, darting towards Gladio and knocking the iMog over.
The video ends with an upside-down view of part of a koi pond, green bamboo shoots, and the sky above as Gladio tells Noodle he never said anything about jackets but maybe he'll make a patch or something.]

[action]
After putting away the device, and with Ebony in tow, Ignis joins him where he's sitting on the bench.]
Your plan will be tremendously difficult to execute, [he says with a sigh, taking a seat.] How do you think to do it?
Action (until otherwise noted)
Gladio isn't surprised that Ignis seeks him out, nor is he surprised that Iggy knows where to find him. He simply scoots over on the bench and turns slightly to better face his boyfriend.]
I know. But we have to try. [One of Gladio's hands grabs one of Iggy's, thumb smoothing soothing circles over the knuckles.]
I want to ask the Moogles to hack into the MogNet and make sure those messages don't get sent. M'thinking that bribing them might work, since it's not like we have enough money to pay them or anything like that. You, uh, heard me volunteer you right?
[Even though Ignis can't see it, Gladio has the decency to look sheepish.]
Think you can make a bunch of specialty Kupo Nuts for any Moogles that help out?
no subject
No, I wouldn't mind making Kupo Nuts. I only need ingredients, which might be a bit difficult to come by, considering our situation.
[They are stuck in endless loops of everything repeating itself. It feels like a punishment for not being able to stop the summoning, instead of a chance for success.]
I'll help you with anything I can, love. [Ignis gives Gladio's hand a firm squeeze.]
no subject
[He squeezes his boyfriend's hand back, grateful beyond words for Ignis' support and faith. Gladio wants to vocalize it but can't think of a single thing that would convey the depth of his appreciation.]
I can help make them too, if you want to boss me around in your kitchen. [A fond smile tugs at his lips before he presses them to Iggy's cheek.] And if you want my help in any of your other endeavors you need only to ask.
