WEEK 2

WEEK 2

monday

tuesday

wednesday

thursday

The first week is over, and two of your number are gone. Everything related to the case has been cleaned up, with nary a knife left at the Main Square nor a trace of the mud shapes that once painted the clock tower walls, although some stray graffiti still dots some storefronts.

However you may feel about the entire debacle on Friday, there’s no doubt that something has changed about the atmosphere, although whether it’s something tangible or just a trick of the mind is hard to say. Maybe it’s nothing. Either way, there are more palpable changes to the city, with some of the fog retreating away from a few of the surrounding areas, uncovering new buildings and streets along the way. The night, however, remains unchanged as always save for the slow waxing of the moon, leaving it bright and full as early as Thursday night. Regardless of if you take it as an omen or not, at least that means the streets will be lit up fairly well for the week, provided some inconvenient cloud cover doesn’t slide right in.

[[Welcome to Week 2! Note that new areas have been added, and can be found under the Week 2 tab on our Locations page. Once again, feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. You can also privately contact The Lady or Rembrandt.]]

[ Why is everyone betraying him!!! ]

Ango! How could you?

[notbymyside]

I had to keep you from getting into trouble, Dazai-kun.

[Time to burrito the tiny mafia.]

[deadlygoals]

That's what I do best.

[ Get in trouble. He'll sigh and then try to wiggle out. Free him ]

[notbymyside]

[Fine, he'll let go. But Dazai will still have to wiggle his way out.]

I wish you would do it less. Our actions have serious consequences here.

[deadlygoals]

[ WOW RUDE. He stops wiggling out as his face relaxed for a moment. There's something much more somber in his gaze before he closes his eyes ]

Are you worried?

cw: suicide talk

[notbymyside]

I always worry. You always get hurt, and I don't even want to think about how many people here want you dead, or at least wouldn't care if you died. You may wish for your own death, but I want to see you live.

cw: suicide talk and wow why is ango death flagging

[deadlygoals]

[ He frees himself from his sheet prison. ]

It's only when I'm close to death that I find meaning in living, Ango.

[ That he actually feel things. Though it was fun spending time talking about random things with Ango and Odasaku at the bar. He doesn't have that here. This Ango is Ango, but from a different time and there's a distance that he keeps pretending not to notice, but he definitely feels from time to time.

He isn't going to share this out loud because what is communicating fully. Instead he'll put his hands in his pockets. ]

I do intend on staying alive here. I have to pay our hosts back for their hospitality after all.

Wow rude these aren't death flags

[notbymyside]

Even the best intentions can be wasted.

[Stop making enemies, Dazai.]

they are death flags

[deadlygoals]

[ His hand moves up for a moment before he drops it back to his side. ]

I'm the lucky charm, right? Death always seems to elude me anyways.

[ Turning away, as he pauses for a moment. ]

I'll make an effort, Ango.

[notbymyside]

That's all I can ask.

[He still looks upset about something though.]

[deadlygoals]

[ This is why he winds up dragging him off after motive. Moments like these where there's evidently something more there that Ango isn't touching. His profile mentions a past mistake.

Dazai is already forming a plan on getting him to talk, but for now... they should do something else. ]

Come on, let's go get something to eat~

[notbymyside]

Alright. Though don't go looking for food at McDonalds, it's probably all rotten.

[Maybe food can help him be less upset. Food makes everything better.]

[deadlygoals]

The guy with the horns ate it all anyways.

[ They can go to the milk bar and get soup or the fries ]

[notbymyside]

He...ate all the raw hamburger?

[God that's horrifying.]

[deadlygoals]

He ate frozen, raw hamburger. All that was still there.

[notbymyside]

That's disgusting!

[deadlygoals]

Yup~ So don't think about kissing that one.

[notbymyside]

I don't make a habit of kissing anyone, much less someone like that. Have you ever heard me talk about seeing someone?

[deadlygoals]

Would you tell me about it if you were?

[notbymyside]

Maybe if it were someone I was seeing seriously.

[Friends deserve to know that kind of thing right?]

[deadlygoals]

[ It's an odd feeling those words inspire, but he's not letting any of it come to the surface. ]

They would have to be pretty interesting if they meet your tastes.

[notbymyside]

Well now I'm curious. Where do you think my tastes lie, Dazai-kun?

[deadlygoals]

Somewhere terrible. [ A beat ] Just kidding. Maybe someone who is as much of a workaholic as you are?

[notbymyside]

If they're as much of a workaholic as me, then how will we have time for a relationship?

[deadlygoals]

Maybe you both can bring work home.

[ It's a ridiculous thought. ]

Or you should find someone who can drag you away from work.
