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.]]

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.

[notbymyside]

That might be nice, to be dragged away from work sometimes.

[deadlygoals]

You must miss having me around to use as an excuse to slack off, hmm?

1/2

[notbymyside]

[...ah.]

I do miss you. More than you can imagine.

[notbymyside]

[That moment of weakness is quickly gone, though.]

This talk right now is not so useful here, though. I don't have any real work to do, besides searching for a way out, and there isn't an overbearing boss preventing me from going to the bar.

[deadlygoals]

[ He had a feeling it would be something like that. ]

This me is here still at your side. [ He'll let the conversation drop after that. ]

And the only bar here is without alcohol. [ A dramatic sigh. ] Maybe Lady and Rembrandt will gift us with alcohol again?

[notbymyside]

['This can't be real. Because Odasaku, and Dazai too, aren't by my side anymore.'

God, he needs a drink.]

It couldn't hurt to ask.

[deadlygoals]

I still have some left of the other bottle.

[ Maybe they can finish it off after food. ]

[notbymyside]

Let's save that for a later day. I don't feel like drinking at the moment.

[More like he doesn't feel like getting drunk and blabbing everything.]

we can probably end this one?

[deadlygoals]

[ what if he wants him drunk and babbling everything?

but okay he'll bob his head at that. ]

Have you tried the beet drink at the Milk Bar?

[ Time to chatter about inconsequential stuff as they go ]

lmao yeah

[notbymyside]

I haven't, and it sounds disgusting.

[But the turn to talking about little stuff is nice, and they can chat for a while before going off to do whatever they do next.]
