(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.)

[Though it does make him feel a bit better knowing there's no hard feelings over him not wanting to drink it. He'll probably keep absentmindedly sipping it every now and then anyway, purely because it's there and he tends to go into autopilot a bit when thinking, but that's a whole different matter. (He'd put it down, but he's not sure where.)
Izuku hums thoughtfully, one hand coming up to press against his mouth.]
A conditional release...that makes sense. But would that mean everyone "passed," since we're all freed now? Or did the existence of the maze itself have a condition, like a certain number of people making it out...
[Izuku certainly never left the maze, just suddenly stopped being inside it. Unless that is what "leaving" was supposed to look like. Hmm...]
no subject
Conditional release, passing, failing... These are all excellent questions -- ones that Yu doesn't have an answer for. But it makes him think more about it, the particularities of the maze and how everything happened. He and Yosuke did manage to get out, in the end, but knowing that other people didn't... It's a lot to consider. They don't know enough to understand what they need to know, do they?]
It's hard to say. Whether we "passed" would probably depend on what we were being tested for. Either the maze disappeared because we were successful, or it was already on a limited time mechanic and would have disappeared anyway.
[In which case it's possible they could have failed without knowing it.]
no subject
go into a spiral aboutprocess.]I suppose it would depend on why we were being tested, too. Was seeing if all of us could "pass" the goal? Or just how many of us could? Assuming it wasn't just to see how we'd all react to...to all of that.
[The difference between having been lab rats tossed in a maze - and ugh, that's an ominous connection he's suddenly making - or students taking a surprise exam. And if they were the latter, what lesson were they even being tested on?]
no subject
That's a good question. I assumed the "why" would be related to our crimes, but...the way you word that makes it sound more like an experiment.
[Which is...unsettling, given the content of the maze. The way it tested all of them.]
... If it was experimental, we should probably get ready for more of them.
