[open mingle] dazai's radio show - live and in person -

Who: yall
Where: Bar Lupin
What: An open mingle for characters who would come hang out in Lupin per Dazai's radio show, especially those suffering from corruption
Warnings: cw: yall tell me if you do anything that needs warned for

Per Dazai's radio show, Bar Lupin is open as a safe haven for those who are worried about losing control due to the spreading corruption. Employees were promised extra pay for their work during this trying time, so the bar is operating as normal! Of course, as Dazai said, there are no free drinks -- it is a bar, after all, not a charity! -- but there's some good company and the relative safety of knowing that for those with powers that they fear losing control of, Dazai's ability can stop them in their tracks.

Probably!

There's enough space for quite a few people to sit comfortably -- there are tables, a private room, and seats at the bar. Still, it's not that big, so expect to be sat with another Chosen should the seats start filling up. The menu consists of your normal bar fare and plenty of drinks, but the staff (and Dazai himself) will discourage any damage done to the bar itself. If you're going to be violent to each other, that's fine (though certain members of the staff might step in) -- just don't break the bar! There are some board games and decks of cards, as well as a beat-up old stereo that some might recognize as the same kind of tech as the tablets. An early 2000s MP3 player seems to be plugged into it at the moment, playing an assortment of classical music. If anyone chooses to mess with the music, they'll find a mix of J-Pop, electronic, and some non-Japanese music in addition to the classical playlist it's programmed with. The intent is for a cool, somewhat relaxing atmosphere, but considering the people involved, that may not last too long...

[This is a mingle for the duration of the event! Surely gathering all the people suffering from corruption in one place won't cause any problems. This is of course not at all mandatory -- while Dazai recommended people come to Lupin if they fear they might lose control, no one is going to collect them and bring them here. Damaging each other should any of the more aggressive characters decide to fight is perfectly fine, but should it look like damage to the bar will be done, staff will step in to either break up the fight, or force them outside into the cold.

[Hearing that comment and meeting the other teen's glare, Scott shrinks again. What's he doing? Should he even be trying to help if Yu's going to continue acting like this towards him? Feels like he's really being a nuisance. Although, he'd still argue that Yu's not making things any better and some defensiveness finally flares up, mouth thinning into a small line as something pushes through that dullness that's been occupying his mind the past couple of weeks.

Scott's not sure if anger is a good replacement, but it is kind of nice to feel something instead of that wallowing depression. His hands curl over a broken bowl, luckily avoiding cutting himself on it, and there's obvious hurt mixing in his voice along with the slight shortness of his tone.]


It was an accident, okay? It's not like I wanted this to happen either.

[Good, thinks that part of him so affected by all of this, get mad. Because this mood, whatever it is, feels so strange coming from Scott, and even though anger doesn't do anything useful, it doesn't feel as uniquely out of place. Yu can't help trying to egg it on. He's not even aware that he's doing it.]

You don't have to help if it's some big imposition. [He only breaks eye contact momentarily to toss a few more glass shards into the bucket.] Whenever you're ready to go back to sulking, be my guest.

Fine, I'll go!

[He snaps, anger blooming in his chest as he abruptly gets up with the bowl in hand. With extreme pettiness, Scott only thinks about it a second before promptly dropping the bowl to the ground, feeling some stupid mild satisfaction as it shatters into pieces in front of the other teen. Yeah, go clean that up!!

...Although the feeling doesn't last long, because as quickly as that rage came, it's now gone, leaving Scott to stare at the mess in front of him.]

Hey! [--exclaimed as the bowl shatters on the ground, pieces flying everywhere. They're not sharp enough to cut, but a few definitely hit him.

The rage flares up again and he's on his feet before he really knows what he's doing, grabbing the other teen by the front of his shirt.]


What the hell, Scott?!

[... said as if he's being any less unreasonable--]
laserguy: (look i know i'm an ass)

[Huh, it's never fully hit him until now, but Yu is actually really tall.

He stares at his friend, not trying at all to fight against the hold, because what's the point. Scott has a feeling that he's going to get punched either way and he's... just stopped caring now. It's kind of nice, no longer angry or upset by his friend. The bowl is destroyed, all of them will probably disappear at some point, and it'll be like nothing would've actually happened here.]


It doesn't really matter, Yu. You can punch me and when one of us disappear from this place, it'd be like it never happened.

[He was about to. Hand drawn back, balled into a fist, strategizing, his corruption-addled brain encouraging him to do it do it hit him, just do it--

It's Scott's words or his attitude that douses the fire. Yu lets go of him and recoils, as if slapped. Don't say that, he wants to say, it all matters, but he knows it'd come out all wrong right now, he'd pick all the wrong words to make his point, and Scott... doesn't seem like he would care either way.

...

Suddenly it's hard to breathe. So he disengages from the conversation, turns his back on Scott, and heads for the door, into the night air outside.]
