[video] what a happy nerd

[carbungle]

[The video opens with the camera up close to Noctis, where he's trying very hard to look serious while fighting off what can only be considered giddiness.]

Hey, question for Havenwell at large... I'm pretty disappointed right now.

[He turns the camera, revealing a little lake, sparkling blue-green in colour and surrounded by lush foliage. There's a soft splash just off the shore, and Noctis utters a muffled, "there you are!" fumbling with the communicator for a moment until a lure goes flying towards it, attached to a fishing line.

When the camera returns to Noctis, he is grinning like an absolute fool, holding his fishing rod.]

Why did no one tell me about this place? Or am I the first? I hope I'm the first. Can I name it? [His voice lowers, conspiratorial.] There's fish here.

[The video cuts off, but included in his message are the coordinates to what one might assume is the pond in question, where Noct can be found fishing all. Day. Long. There's a blue chocobo curled up on a nearby rock, waiting patiently for him to finish as she's done dozens of times before.]

There you go, now you get it. Or you will, once you fish for a while.

[scourgingstars]

You've successfully turned me to your side, don't worry. Now I'll likely do nothing but spend all my time here as well, you may never be rid of me.

[carbungle]

Terrible. I'm extra doomed, now.

[His feet go in the water, and he makes a faint noise at the refreshing chill of it. Feels good...]

Any bites? If it doesn't have a good feel when you cast, I've got more lures to try.

[scourgingstars]

Hm...not yet. It's been a while, but these things require patience, do they not? I can wait a bit before trying again.

[carbungle]

Yeah, that's true. Still too eager... I gotta get used to this again.

[The fishing game is quite different from the real thing; far less time between nibbles. He leans back where he's seated, settling in for the long haul and watching the lake with a contented expression.]
