Week 1, Saturday

[foundationmods]

This whole post contains a blanket CONTENT WARNING for gallows and hanging imagery.

---

[Once again, right at noon, the Contestants are invited to the studio to participate in another exciting game. The set has changed entirely since the last time they were there, with the mountain climber game replaced by a large board of some sort. Several prinnies are near it, carrying large cards with random letters written on them. It seems as though they might be helping out for this game. But there is something else off to the side too...(CW: gallows)

As always, Dazai is there, waiting on stage for everyone to sit down. He's dressed in his usual black suit getup, but his smile seems a bit forced today.]

[It takes a few moments for the set to get reset, so while they're waiting for the prinnies to finish, Dazai will go ahead and speak to everyone.]

I'm impressed with how quickly you all have been flying through this! Maybe I should have picked a different game, if you're doing so well at this one.

[Something about his tone says that he's not at all sorry that everyone is doing so well.]

There's one more to go, so I wonder if you all will-

[And that's when his phone rings.

Dazai falls silent, and he actually looks worried when he hears that ringtone. He pulls the phone out of his pocket, and for a second he just stands there watching it ring. He glances up to the contestants, then back down to the phone.

Finally, he presses the answer button and holds the phone up to his non-bandaged ear.]

Aah, hello, what can I- ... no, of course not, it- ... No. ... No, that's not-

[The conversation continues for a minute or so, with Dazai constantly getting cut off. Each time he starts to speak he sounds a bit more frantic to answer, like he really wants to get a word in edgewise.

And then everyone will be able to see sparks fly from the phone, and Dazai lets out a surprised yelp as he drops it entirely. His hand and his ear both have black marks on them, sure signs of being electrocuted.

Dazai also looks shaken by what happened. He'll need a moment to recover.]

[duskhound]

[Well, that's not good at all. She is absolutely dashing over there to check up on Dazai, yes.]

[guileturncoat]

Don't!

[That comes out as a harsh shout, and he holds up a hand to stop her.]

Just- just stay in your seats.

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi watches the phone call, watches how Dazai gets more and more frantic, and--

Oh no. He's going to try running over before he can even stop to think.]

Dazai-san!

[darkremnants]

[ let's try to catch a tiger first. reaching to grab. ]

[guileturncoat]

[Sorry Atsushi, he's holding out a hand to stop everyone.]

Don't!

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[This was just going too well, wasn't it.]

Dazai!

[Alarm is clear in her voice and expression. He's taken this too far, hasn't he-?]

[odasaku]

Dazai?!

[ oda looks surprised, rushing over to his side ]

Should we stop this?

[guileturncoat]

[Dazai will hold up a hand to stop Oda before he gets too close.]

No. No, we finish this. There's one more round.

[eldritcheyes]

[Leo jumps when Dazai's phone sparks, and when he notices the burns on the man he rushes over to check on him.]

What the hell happened?!

[guileturncoat]

[Just like with the others, he's attempting to stop Leo.]

Don't get involved, it's fine.

[It's not fine, but. You know. Appearances.]

[georgeous]

[ Now THAT cannot be good... ]

Up-high isn't happy, I take it.

[houndumb]

... The hell was that.

[Back to narrowed eyes here but he doesn’t wait on Dazai before he goes over to examine the dropped phone, not touching it yet. Hm.]

[guileturncoat]

[Nora will be able to see the phone, since it fell off the stage and Dazai is only stopping people from going on the stage.

It's an eyephone, like what everyone else has, and it's hella fried. Someone short-circuited it.]

[dereban]

[ Hm.


There's already people checking up on Dazai, so she's definitely going to stay put but there is definitely concern as she presses her lips together, arms folded over chest. ]

[momsters]

[Just. Making this face. Observing.]

[visionem]

[ Headtilt. Not doing a concern, but there's definite intrigue here. ]

[overconfidant]

Holy shit, Dazai, who did you piss off?!

[Akira is gonna cast Salvation on him, though it only has the oomph of a Dia and... what the fuck did they do to Metatron, he's tiny and cute!]

[merirut]

[He narrows his eyes at the scene, but he doesn't make much of a move to do anything.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver jumps up from his seat, but doesn't run up to the stage]

Dazai! Are you ok?!

[shortstacked]

[wow that is very concerning...] What the hell was that?

[arraignments]

... How was that able to hurt you?

[darkova]

They are n o t happy about how well we are doing, are they?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[....

Moriarty's eyes narrow, but he remains silent.]

[mastersdefender]

Ah...

[ That sure happened. ]
