expiationnet | (video) A RADIO SHOW APPEARS, TAKE ONE.

(some might recognize him, some definitely won't, but here's a bandaged man, with his palms together under his chin, a smile, and a very energetic voice. one, two, three...!)

Good morning, citizens of Aldrip! My name is Dazai Osamu, coming right to you with a newly scheduled entertainment option! This is the first take of my radio show, which I'm yet to name! If you have suggestions, I'm open to hearing them, leave them anonymously, or tell me who you are!

Here, we will solve problems, talk about current events, and discover things about our community! Please, if you may, leave what's weighing in your hearts to me, and I'll see what we can do about it! Name or no name, we are all welcome here. Let's see, let's see...! Ah, yes! I have a single one, but I will let you decide on the answer for today! A-hem.

(and this is where he picks a paper, a pair of glasses that definitely doesn't have any properties in the lenses, clears his throat, and he begins:)

"I hate my roommate, and I would like to annoy them as much as humanly possible. Do you have any tips and tricks for me?"

Well, the people have spoken! What is your take, Aldrip? What would you tell this poor soul?

See you soon, on the next episode of Unnamed Radio Show, by Dazai Osamu!

[Kisara doesn't have the courage, or akin to, to actually own what she might be inclined to say about all of this. That is to say, surely she could benefit from some advice as well. She's not sure her situation isn't so specific that certain people would know exactly who she is, however.

Maybe someone else will benefit from this. Or it'll be a huge disaster. Who knows.]

If I am hearing this right, you are intending to provide an... advice column to the community and to let everyone weigh in on their opinion? I have to wonder if this is the right thing to do for someone who might be a bit more inclined towards privacy.

Also, with regards to this note in question, if one dislikes who they have been staying with, they could just have their own place. I believe Aldrip's inn has more than enough space for such an arrangement.

[Silly Kisara and her logic.]

I don't know who you are. You can just text! Texting works! You can talk to me privately and I will weigh in on another program!

Ah, that isn't the question, is it? Please, pertain to the problem at hand.

I wasn't going to submit anything. I was just weighing in with my opinion. I can see how this would be useful, but I can also see how this could easily get out of hand if we're not careful. Maybe we should tread with care when it comes to giving people advice. We don't want to make situations worse.

[Well. She doesn't.]

Like anything in life, you can choose not to take advice, or take things in a lighter way.

That's true, but if this it turns out to be a very specific situation, it could out something for someone. In a situation like that, you would handle it privately, right? Or if someone made a request like that, yes?

Oh, yes, absolutely!

(or not.)

[...Why does she feel like she can't trust him? Oh, right. It's nothing personal and she doesn't know that at all. Information is information, however, and it's wiser to be wary. She knows from firsthand knowledge what blind devotion does.

She'll never fall for that again.]

And if you don't, are you just going to absolve yourself of any responsibility if you should indirectly ruin someone's life? Not that it'll happen, I'm sure, but it's something to think about.

You must be very fun at parties. I leave it to the public to be mature and smart about the information they hear and receive!

[Ignoring the intentional jab.]

That sounds a little dangerous. I have my reservations about this being a completely good thing, but I can see how it might be of benefit to some people here.

[She'd ask them to be responsible, but she's almost positive that eventually won't happen.]

Good, then have faith.

I'll be keeping an eye on it, certainly.

Out of curiosity, is this something you did back where you come from, or is this just a way for you to pass time here?

No, not at all! I'm a detective, not a host!

How does someone who’s a detective suddenly become a host? Is this a once-hidden passion of yours?

Iiiiiiiiiit's living in denial! Thank you, thank you!

So… it’s something you wanted to do back home, but felt like you couldn’t, and you chose not to pursue it.

[If she’s understanding him at all.]

Strike one, belladonna, and I'll give you two more opportunities to guess! Three trials is fair, isn't it?

I only get a limited amount of guesses, hm? I'm not very good at games, admittedly. Could it be that it was something you did in secret? Maybe under an alter ego...

Beeeeep, incorrect!

I'm running out of ideas here. Maybe you can give me a hint or something.
