WEEK 4
WEEK 4
Last week could probably only be summed up as a mess. Three people died, one was turned to currency and the hotel pool remains in a general state of unusability unless swimming in pulpy mush is someone’s idea of a good time. And that’s not even counting the haunted morse code T-Rex. At least the greenhouse is as relaxing as ever, even if someone seems to have made off with a number of succulents and cacti.
But with the new week comes a new set of locations to explore as the fog retreats to reveal another portion of the city. The half moon wanes to a new moon this week, leaving streets even dimmer this week -- hopefully you have some other portable sources of light available if you plan on straying too far beyond the reach of the lampposts in the new areas.
[[Welcome to Week 4! Note that new areas have been added, and can be found under the Week 4 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.]]

As you should be. There aren't many people I value this much, you know.
[But fine, fine, he'll let you have your dignity!!]
So what do you think of Dazai's little game?
[OR WE'LL JUST TALK ABOUT HOT OR NOT INSTEAD]
no subject
Charming, but I intend to pass. I don't need others to tell me how attractive I am, and I don't accept criticism.
[This just translates to "I have a very fragile ego".]
no subject
[this is absolutely 100% not because someone's going to comment on the mask.]
It is fun to see their reactions, though.
no subject
[He noticeably didn't really chime in with any comments of his own, though. Most people here don't meet his lofty standards.]
no subject
So who would you say is the hottest person here?
[iago no]
Yourself excluded, of course.
no subject
Actually you know what?
Fuck it. He basically admitted this back at the boutique anyway...]
You.
1 / 2
...Oh.
[GIVE HIM A MOMENT, HANG ON THIS ISN'T GOING AS PLANNED—]
no subject
[THIS IS THE WORST RECOVERY EVER MAYBE IT'D WORK A BIT BETTER IF HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE WAS TRYING NOT TO DIE]
no subject
DON'T INSTILL VENGEANCE UPON DIST]
Oh? It seemed to me like I caught you by surprise.
[He says that like he wants to be extremely smug about Iago's reaction, but internally he can't believe it actually worked.]
no subject
Oh no, of course not. [lies, all lies] I'm already very aware you find me attractive.
[His one fatal flaw is that he doesn't know how to recover when he's been thrown off like this!!!]
no subject
I see. You just wanted confirmation, is that it? My, it is a good thing that your hunch was spot-on.
[What if he had said Cumore, huh? Huh?
(Cumore is second though.)]
If you were aware, then I must ask... Do you like that information?
no subject
Of course I do. I simply wasn't expecting you to be so bold. Not that I'm complaining, of course; it is rather attractive.
[two can play at this game!!!]
no subject
[...]
I am glad to hear that, though. That you like it.
[Y-Yeah.]
no subject
[like he doesn't aggressively tease dist all the time???]
no subject
[Why is this happening in public, he internally asks himself again.]
no subject
[is that a threat????
Anyway, he laughs after a moment and waves a hand as if to dismiss it.]
I won't tease you any further [today] I promise.
no subject
Now that promise I do not trust. Not right after you laughed!
no subject
And here I thought you trusted me, Dist... Though I must admit, you're making it very difficult to stop teasing you.
no subject
[...
Oh no. Oh no, he started raising his voice, didn't he. Nobody better have heard the commotion.
He just kind of. Shrinks in his chair, defeated. He doesn't even have a rebuttal for the teasing comment. He did this to himself. He's made his mistakes, and he's got nowhere to run.]
no subject
My apologies. [He presses his hand to his chest and ducks his head a bit. It's not really a bow, but it gets the point across well enough.] I didn't mean to upset you. I'll be more careful in the future.
[There isn't anything sarcastic or teasing in his tone and when he straightens back up he's settled back into his usual expression.]
I'll leave you be, if you'd prefer. I would like to hear more about Kaiser Dist at some point, though.
no subject
[Just very embarrassed, and it's his fault more than Iago's.
He takes a deep breath.]
And I'm not saying you have to leave, if you don't want to. This is simply out of my comfort zone.
no subject
[Hmm...]
Perhaps I can make it up to you at some point. For now I would like to remain here for a bit longer, if you aren't opposed.
no subject
[That isn't...merciless teasing in public...]
But yes, you are more than welcome to stay. Like I said, I am certainly not angry with you. Would you like me to speak further on Kaiser Dist RX's inner workings?

no subject
Just slowly sipping this drink and deadpan staring. ]
