(forward dated, from the boats in route to rescue) see he can be serious

[nullificates]

This is Osamu Dazai.

I'm going with the rescue team for our friends and family. I'm a specialist in war and battle strategies, so please say so now if you are willing to take my guidance in this trying time. If you change your mind during the conflict, move your charm to be worn as a necklace. I will instruct those who will listen to help regardless, but it is easier if we are together. I will not be in the front line myself, I'll be working from elsewhere, moving around as Nikolai will provide me with assistance. If anyone's abilities come into disarray, I will also be able to be there to touch and nullify them while he takes the wheel for the time being.

I'll also be able to provide medical assistance and Nikolai can transport any injured.

Be mindful of your abilities, take care of each other, and let's get our people back.

You can't call me problematic, my sweet, lovely clown! It'd be the pot calling the kettle black! Don't you think?!

Also-- You said you'd put it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quizpersona]

Certainly, there are no surprises there. The pot is black.

I don't make up the rules [says the man who literally made up these rules] It looks like there's a new no return policy on your organs. So what will you do? Are you still so keen?

[nullificates]

No, the pot and the kettle are problematic.

(what is HAPPENING.)

Ah, like you'll even do it. Do you even want to take out my organs, Nikols. It's always like that with you.

[quizpersona]

I might~

[ Sing song until the moment he crosses one leg over the other. Then all of a sudden that tone is taking a nose dive into the lower and far more serious register. ]

Should you really be gambling with your organs right now? Your determination to stage a rescue was so vivid only a moment ago.

[nullificates]

We are definitely going to talk about this on the way back, Mister.

[ "Not if I pull off a disappearing act!", he seems to think. The mischievous air as he beams smugly at Dazai says so. ]

[nullificates]

(idiots! he knows it, so he will just gently boop gogol with his foot.)

[quizpersona]

[ Wow, footsies. That's a cute game. Gogol responds by disrespectfully snatching Dazai by the foot and not letting go. Get grabbed idiot. ]

So! Anyway. Tell me about your spectacular plan for when we get closer. Am I allowed to know?

[nullificates]

(he'll let him. isn't gogol cute.)

My spectacular plan is still in the making! I can't predict what I don't know, you know? Right now, I need to get high enough to see everyone! I can make a great plan after that.

[quizpersona]

[ Not at all. Not while threatening Dazai's status as a man who is sitting upright by lifting the foot up a little. ]

Is that so? I see. I have a follow up question.

[nullificates]

Are you stretching me? How kind. I need it.

Yes, honey?

[quizpersona]

Oh, we could fix that.

[ A pause. Dazai... is actually a challenge when it comes to the "disturbing people on purpose" antics. So enjoy this pivot to the Atsushi-leg treatment with a little less detachment of the limb. That means all he does is give the leg a threatening wiggle. ]

What you can't fix, however, is how many people in need of saving there is! You're going to have to pick and choose, aren't you?

[nullificates]

We don't know the situation, we don't know the terrain. Naturally, we want to try and get as many people as possible back. Whether I pick and choose, that's unnecessary wording. I'll do all I can do.

[quizpersona]

Indeed, I'm sure that is the case. That's a truly ideal view that inspires like no other... But! as a special consideration to you I'll ask this.

[ and now he lays the limb back down gently. Do you regret bringing him along on this heroic adventure yet Dazai? The very worst part is the way he says this sympathetically. ]

When you do everything you can but can't save them all who will you want to save the most?

[nullificates]

(he has to make sure both charms are off.)

The kiddos first, Nikolai. Kotone, Scott, the Persona users, and our own Yokohama dearests.
