something's about to happen. any slight change to this place is a good enough reason to keep your eyes open, and the fog had not been here until recently.

report any strange feelings, and if you feel like your abilities are acting up, meet me immediately. for those who are unaware, my ability nullifies all by touch. if you feel like yours is out of control, notify me or chuuya nakahara immediately.

any data is good data, too. please don't hesitate to bring me any piece of information, anonymously or through my contact.

don't fuck this up,

osamu dazai.

I actually pull in decent money with my odd jobs, so you damn well better care. Especially with all the construction work lately.

[ugh.]

Ugh. Reminded me of that too, honestly. Was a pain in the ass for everyone involved. You were a pain in the ass too, for that matter.

But that was all abilities, back then. The people I thought I saw in the fog... they're dead, Dazai.

[nullificates]

mmmm. don't care! i've been picking your wallet all along, we actually have a nice saved stash somewhere you will never know!

i was not. you know i was right. maybe we should ask fy what he thinks, after all. maybe we need to wake a part of you at some point, so we should definitely start planning for that!

... eh? that's definitely not what i've seen at all. the flags...?

[darkdisgrace]

...Wait, you've been stashing my cash? What the fuck?

[So has Chuuya actually, no wonder his wallet is so light lately.

He makes a face at that wake a part of him bit, but he's always prepared for that eventuality, honestly.]

I'm pretty sure I already know what he'd think of how I took care of that dragon.

[Mainly: He'd find it hot.]

How the fuck did you guess from just that, you weirdo? But yeah, it was them.

[There'd been barely anything left of the Flags, when Verlaine had finished with them. But there they were, smiling and laughing. It was just a split second, but--]

[nullificates]

yep. all profits from lupin go to the people who keep it lively, after all. i got to eat and drink somehow, you know? you can totally blame yourself for not being better at noticing pickpocketing!

i meant more about the strategy -- but totally, i see it too.

just because we've been more domestic, it doesn't mean i'm not me! don't let it fool you, chuuya. perhaps it has to do with things we would like to have been different in our lives.

(because he sees himself too young.)

[darkdisgrace]

You say this like I don't already know you're always stealing from my wallet for booze money. I know, I just haven't complained nearly as much as I could because you'd be even more annoying otherwise.

That you bothered to actually stash money to save is what surprises me.

[It's displaying thought for the future, which Dazai can often be allergic to.]

Yeah yeah, we can chat about that with him later. Hopefully we won't need the strategy, but it's better to be prepared.

So what, I'm seeing the Flags in the fog because I wish they were still alive? No shit.

[nullificates]

i am saving for something stay in your lane snail

no shit, indeed. i don't think it is that you wish they were still alive. i think it's how you feel about the fact that they are not. i'm not seeing dead ones, for instance, but i am nooooooot gonna tell you what i see! how personal to talk about in such public spaces!

(DAZAI.............)

[darkdisgrace]

Saving for what, exactly?


Well that rules out a bit, if you're not seeing dead people too.

[Like, y'know. Oda.] And you've talked about way more personal shit in public, let's be honest here.

cw suicide ideation

[nullificates]

a big guillotine that one can't fail can it

(bullshit but like, let him be secretive!!!)

nope, no dead people. perhaps someone who would have been, if it weren't for a certain dead person.

(so, get the clue.)

CW: casual response to suicide ideation, mention of gory medieval deaths

[darkdisgrace]

I think they retired those for a reason, Dazai. Sometimes the heads didn't come off completely, pretty agonizing.

[Why are they Like This.

But Chuuya most certainly gets the clue.]

Ah, yeah I get it.

Alright then. We should probably try to be more careful after dark, considering how this went down last time. Luckily there's more shelter for people now, with the new houses.

[nullificates]

i hate you so much. maybe i'm saving for a nice blade!!!!!

oho, maybe we should quarantine?

[darkdisgrace]

Good luck.

And i don't know if you could convince even a quarter of this town to quarantine, considering all the people wandering into the forest last time.

Also you sound way too excited by the idea, for some reason.

[nullificates]

thank you, i'm sure i can get it this time

oh, then that's personal responsibility! i'm not going out of my way to deal with that part??????

it's because if we quarantine i'm going to make you cry tears of blood.

[darkdisgrace]

If we quarantine, I'll probably murder you. Also probably go insane from dealing with you until that point, because you're insufferable.

[nullificates]

i'll manage a way to keep you at home with me, it'll be great. totally great. do you think our new home is pristine still?

[darkdisgrace]

Do your worst, mackerel. You think I don't have tricks up my sleeve?

[nullificates]

if i do my worst you'll break up with me.

(and it starts like that, embarrassing chuuya just like it!!)

all predictable. you boring.

[darkdisgrace]

[Oh that's cruel. Dazai stop throwing out implications that would freak them both out?

Clearly, evasion is safer.]

I'll break your bones, maybe!!!

[nullificates]

(yep. isn't he?)

face me!! you and you pathetic punches!! like i can't tell they're coming from five miles away!!! boring!!!!!!!!!!

[darkdisgrace]

Doesn't matter if my punches are too fast for you to dodge!

[nullificates]

but they aren't!!! ah, you can't surprise me anymore... how dull is my life...
