(As if it wouldn't have been wasted ground into Dazai's face?)
He pretends he's done nothing when he local shopkeeper comes back, smiling pleasantly and offering an excuse that gets.... a really weird smile as the guy looks over at Dazai. He's not sure he likes it.
Still, it gets him out of finishing the job, and he can make his way over without causing a scene.]
Funny, because you've been staring at me for a couple of minutes now.
[Why is he not surprised that Dazai is here? Because of course he is. His luck is garbage, and fate likes to play pranks on him at the worst times.] You got yanked here too, eh?
Oh, I wasn't sure, so small in the horizon?! So it was straining my eyes a little bit, but I had to stare to be sure! So hard to see...
(his slender fingers tap his cheeks, palms cupping his cheeks as he smiles, proudly - it was a great jab, look at him, just got here and already full of zingers!
but, well. that's a little less important in the face of everything else.)
Yeahp! Chuuya, what do you remember? Last thing you do, come on! Tell me everything.
That joke is so old I would think you've been going blind if I didn't know you better, bastard.
[It was not a great jab, try something that isn't height jokes damn it!
He reaches Dazai, crossing his arms with a scowl. But he can understand the 'why' of that question, for sure.] Last thing I remember? Finding out that anemic bastard didn't die like planned.
[And boy, doesn't that get on his nerves.] I can't believe there's actually someone out there more roach-like than you who is almost as annoying.
Of course you know better, I have no doubt you have been noticing yourself shrinking?
(not at all, but you know, there's no truth in any of he says with these things, at the end of the day. not important after chuuya confirms it - they both know they are fucked beyond belief.
fyodor might as well have won. this might be a part of it. there's nothing he can predict that easily onwards, with the little information they now have. bleak, bleak, bleak, it seems.)
Pfft! Yes, that is exactly the last thing I can recall, truly, what are the odds-- ah, it seems like I've been here before too, so there are many mysteries to unfold! Thoughts in that simplistic brain of yours?
Oh, so they're using you as a offer?! They are currently asking me to spend the night! Ah, then nothing has changed here either. You still get none!
(bitch please there are MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO.)
I'll pretend that I remember, by the way! We don't know what happened here, what have done, so I think this is safest! Who might be hiding in the shadows, after all...! I'm sure I can spin it to 'No Longer Human' secrets.
Of course. Of course he would. Chuuya's expression sours.]
Why am I not surprised you'd take the opportunity of being stuck in a new world to fuck around. Isn't screwing your way through Yokohama's hook up bars enough for you? And I've got better taste than anyone who'd be into your twig ass. I should be amazed you haven't been run out of town already.
[Ugh, just arrived and already Dazai is being insufferable. But he's got a point about pretending. He wonders....] That ain't gonna work for me, though. I can guess a lot from how people act but my ability ain't gonna fly for pretendin'.
Ah, to be small and jealous, I can't hear you from up here (they are sitting) but with that strong feeling, I'm surely feeling a vibe! And, woah, no, I'm being worshipped!
(worshipped is a strong word, but he definitely isn't complaining about the attention, he has a little list of people he'll visit once he finishes getting settled.)
And you lack my naturally flamboyant way of being, it's bamboozling as much as it is distracting and very convincing! So, don't ruin it! Did you know the CLOWN is here?!
[And since they are sitting, Chuuya has no hesitation in reaching over....
and flicking Dazai in the nose like a 5 year old for the digs.] quit it with the worn out jokes already and don't get yourself knifed by an ex or some shit until we get home.
[Ugh, this part of Dazai has never changed. It's annoying. They've got things to do damn it.] ...The clown? The decay of angels clown? What the hell is he doing here? Did they just sweep the prison for folks to pick up? Almost glad the anemic bastard escaped, if that's the case.
(ouch, ouch, the face he makes! a big pout as he massages his nose.)
I'll do both now, purely out of spite for that flick, what are you, ten!?
(STILL, OUCH, and he sighs as his hand drops.)
That clown, we don't know any other! I don't know if he escaped. I'm still in information gathering mode! Speaking of, you can ask things more directly, so I'll be using you to not blow up my cover, thank you very much!
Ugh. I am not going to patch you up if you get stabbed because you've got the impulse control of a ten year old.
[He actually will and they both know he will. Chuuya's just protesting for the sake of it.]
I don't think it's a matter of escaping or not when it comes to that guy, to be honest. But if he's here, that could complicate things for us.
[Mainly: They know Fyodor is still alive. But does he? And how would he react if he found out?
He rolls his eyes at Dazai's declaration, because he's not surprised really. It's strategically sound, but also--] So basically I'll be the one asking questions, you'll be playing a bit and we'll share information between us.
You will, though! What if I die!? I'd be happy, but then, you'll eventually die too! Isn't that too ironic? You must die first, so I can die peacefully and it's not a double.
(because dying with chuuya, or followed by, or after, it's all really off the table. he would never allow it.)

[It's said with a snarl, but at least Chuuya seems more keen on information than bickering with Dazai. Because what follows is surprise.
