(after event chill out lil mingle) let's understand it

(cw depression)

(he hasn't exactly been doing great - much to the opposite. he spent the week in bed, he hasn't taken care of himself whatsoever, and he's exhausted. either way, it hardly matters how he feels, does it ever?

so. let's go. a text message arrives to everyone's charms and tablets, and it reads:)


this is, you guessed it, osamu dazai. it's been a week since that stupid maze, so here is what we have:

1. i need copious amounts of alcohol and food. i'll bring some to the beach in 30, i suggest we all do the same.
2. i'd like to hear what your experiences were. it's important for data building - we have a few detectives in this place, some smartpants, and some go-getters. we need to take advantage of our only resource, which is ourselves. meet me at the beach, or send me anonymously. i don't care about your shit per se.

see you, or don't see you.

many words that mean absolutely nothing here,
dazai.


(to those that come to the beach, they'll see several cocktail possibilities laid in front of dazai, as well as a good number of the food they serve in lupin - mixed nuts, pistachio, cheese tables, chocolate, dried figs, potato chips, chicken snacks, boiled sausage, asparagus with sauces, and dried fruit. a bonfire warms his hands in the chilly breeze of the night - this feels awfully needed.)

[... ... ...

Oh. So he's a weirdo. Noted.]


Thanks.

[Yu seems somewhat unbothered by this, actually, and just whacks the knife into the melon. You gotta use some muscle for this, after all.]

[Yep. Thought that must be Dazai. Yu is literally at a loss for a second at those suggestions. Give him a minute, he has to process some options, here.

I'd shake your hand, but mine's covered in melon juice. [Manners!] I'm Yu Narukami.

[You get the sense that Dazai has some Feelings he'd rather not deal with, let alone share...]

Never tried that before. It doesn't taste too strong?

[... ... ... Well, he's a bar owner who employs teens in a crime town...maybe Yu shouldn't have expected anything different.]

So it's killed your sense of taste over time?

[He has no choice... he must take the melon...]

This isn't rat poison, is it?

[That's...a joke, right...]

So just the regular poison, then.

[Weird to think of something called rat poison as precious, but he remains committed to the bit. Yu takes a bite of the melon to show he's joking, and...wow. oh, wow, that is strong. He tries to be very subtle about clearing his throat.]

... I can confidently say that's a new experience.

Everything?

[This is going to be trouble, isn't it. Insert laughing-i'm-in-danger meme here.]

You seem awfully eager about that.

[Ooof, huh. A little dry, Yu responds:] Rough day?

[Like, yeah, he knows, it's a rough time for all of them. But also, dude, are you okay.]
