Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2020, Early Saturday Evening [Part 1]

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were normal traditions, and there were Fandom traditions, and having this party get started right around dusk was definitely a Fandom tradition. As the sun went down, the finishing touches of decorations were made; the lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, and there were chairs set up for all of the graduates, along with plenty of seats for guests to come and watch. The weather was behaving itself, and it looked like it would be a nice, warm spring evening.

Congratulations, Class of 2020! You made it!

She eyed him.

"You...... do........ realize that I have a boyfriend that is not Noctis, right????????????????"

Just checking!

Which was a high school romance that, statistically, had a high probability of find itself null and void at the end of their education, especially considering that this school was nexus that involved multiple worlds and dimensions and people often returning to those worlds and dimensions, which he, by the way, clearly had a precident for in the termination of Prompto and Yang's relationship approximate to her graduation.

Ignis pushed his glasses up his nose a little, tugged slightly on his glove.

"Of course I do," he said. "But data is data, Nina, and might still be useful. Obviously, these glimpses into the future are incredibly unlikely to occur as they're presented. It would be impossible, considering the sheer amount of different possibilities, but if we can use what knowledge we have in any way we can to not only save Noctis, but quite possibly all of Eos as a whole, then we would be terribly remiss to turn our backs on that knowledge."

Yeah, but Prompto wasn't her. Nina didn't let things go.

"I mean, like, sure," she said, "I follow all of that for data collection purposes and, like, I guess I am a citizen of Lucis and so it could be considered my patriotic duty to fall in love with Noctis and get married and somewhere in there save the world..............."

Look, Nina didn't like to admit that she was good at logic herself, but she was.

"Like, I've read that book, Ignis??????????? And you can't force a happy ending. You could force a marriage, but happy endings are different things entirely."

"You may not be able to force a happy ending, Nina," Ignis said, agreeable enough on that point, "but that doesn't mean you have to idly sit by and allow a bad one to happen, either."

And there, his eyes shifted to her pointedly little miss Let's Go Get Adopted by Insomnia Spies.

"Honestly, Ignis," she said, "I'm the worst at sitting idly by."

No, really. The worst.

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2020]

[chef_chocobro]

Really, now? He'd have never guessed....

"So then you should understand," Ignis said, "how I feel, Nina."

She smiled cutely at him.

A slightly maliciously. Look, she liked Ignis, but she was also not super willing to be the only sacrificial pawn in this game.

"I'll have the dossiers to you by morning," she said, which was easy since she already had them written for her own use. Nina would just have to go through and remove her running commentary on some matters. "I look forward to hearing how you like your fate in that universe............"

Prompto was going to kill her. It'd be great.
