After Trial Mingle

[deadlygoals]

[ Seems like everyone is either hiding from any blood bending, wanting to take the time to think, or just doing their on thing after a trial as long as that one is. So here's a general mingle for after the trial or the rest of the weekend. ]

[galrarm]

[ Bless you, Dazai. ]

Let's take a look, then.

[ ... which will take a while!! While he looks-- ]

How are you doing?

[deadlygoals]

[ Stuffing his hands in his pockets, preparing to just let Shiro do all of the looking.

Making a low hum sound as he considers it. ]

I'm doing about the same. What about you?

[galrarm]

[ And funnily enough, he doesn't mind. ]

I could be doing better, but it could be worse.

[ ... which is technically true but he's very much full of shit ]

[deadlygoals]

Could definitely be worse. She didn't add a tail or changed your face.

[ Time to just hit the elephant in the room square on. ]

[galrarm]

... Yeah.

[ His hand stills for a moment, and he glances at Dazai. ]

All things considered, I got off pretty lucky.

[deadlygoals]

[ There's a beat as he meets his look. ]

Do you really count it as lucky? [ There's a pause. ] It did help. I don't think we would have figured it out if it wasn't for those clues.

[ But you're a lizard, harry ]

[galrarm]

Compared to what could have happened? ... Yeah.

[ But his tone and expression suggest that he very much does not like this. ]

As long as it helped, that's all I could ask for.

[deadlygoals]

[ There's a twitch of his hand, and he wonders for a moment if Rean really is rubbing off on him.

He reaches up to give him a pat on his shoulder. ]

Never know, there may be a way to reverse it once we get into her castle.

[ He doesn't want to give any false hope, but... he also doesn't want him to think he may be stuck with weird darkness hickeys forever. ]

Come on, let's find that book.

[galrarm]

[ Ah. Shiro isn't necessarily counting on that, and even if there's not a way... well, he's had worse. He gives Dazai the very slightest smile and he turns back to the books. ]

I'd be surprised if we did find something, but...

[ --oh, lucky!! Shiro pulls down, miraculously, a Japanese cookbook. ]

How about that.

[deadlygoals]

I think whatever we find, it'll be a surprise.

[ Considering this whole place. Also owo cookbook cookbook.

He'll peek over Shiro to look at it. ]

Perfect~ Might be able to find something to make with what we have here.

[galrarm]

We can only hope.

[ He'll hand the cookbook right on over! ]

Someone has to keep us fed around here.

[deadlygoals]

That someone would be Rean.

[ :D ]

I am thinking of trying my hand at making something though. Might need a taste tester if you're feeling adventurous.

[galrarm]

Rean is pretty dependable.

[ bless him. ]

I don't mind being a taste tester, no. It's the least I could do, since my skill in the kitchen... isn't so great.

[deadlygoals]

He is.

[ His expression softens for a moment as he smiles. ]

Do you want to try my super energizing hot pot then?

[ His face changes to something more like the usual gremlin face. ]

[galrarm]

[ Oh my, Dazai.

... he raises an eyebrow. ]

That depends on what's in your super energizing hot pot.

[deadlygoals]

[ Putting a single over his own lips in a shh motion. ]

That's a secret.

[galrarm]

[ Hmmm.

He nods, though. You've got yourself a taker, Dazai. ]

Fair enough. I'm guessing it'll be adventurous, though.

[deadlygoals]

[ RIP Shiro you were well appreciated in your time. ]

It will~ I'm pretty sure Ango still has dreams about it.

[ Are they happy dreams? ]

[galrarm]

Really? Maybe I should ask him just to be sure...

[deadlygoals]

[ On one hand, that will lead Shiro to saying no to hot pot.
On the other hand... Ango's gay panic. ]

Go ahead~ While you're at it, can you make sure he eats something? He can be a bit of a workaholic.

[galrarm]

[ oh, mood, ango ]

I'll be sure to do that.

So, how long have you two known each other, anyway?

[deadlygoals]

This Ango is from four years in my future. So he's known me for six years, while I've only known him for two.

[galrarm]

That's... a pretty big gap between you two.

I wonder how the Lady pulled that off.

[deadlygoals]

[ Just a pretty big gap is putting it lightly. ]

It certainly has been interesting.

[ That is also putting it lightly. ]

That is certainly the question. I do wonder if it means we're from different realities.

[galrarm]

It's possible. There are infinite realities, after all.

[ god he sounds like slav. what has this place done to him ]

It's concerning, though, that she can take us from any point in time at her whim.
