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.]

...I...see...?

[Sorry, he's - going to place a hand to his forehead, wincing.]

...It seems I'm not feeling well, suddenly...I'll have to let the rest of you finish this.

[darkova]

[Hmmm...]

[dereban]

. . . Okay.

[ Hm! ]

[arraignments]

... Hey.

[ Hand on his upper arm now??? ]

Can we talk later...?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Of...Of course. I will just - need a moment.

[It's easy to tell from his body language that he's Genuinely in pain, though.]

[houndumb]

What, did the crab it you that hard??

[What else is he supposed to think.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

....Perhaps.

[He's. He's not yelling back.

Um??]

[houndumb]

[S Q U I N T S]

[Actually, just going to start knocking on his head to see if that's the problem. Nora don't experiment on hapless(?) old people.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Ahagh!!

[He actually doesn't fight back, but the knocking causes him to grip his head intensely, pain and tension clear in every movement.]

[darkova]

Nora, you damned idiot! Leave the man alone!

[houndumb]

Yeah, well, you wanna just hang out an' have this happen all the time or what??

[HEY HEY DID THAT HAPPEN WHEN HE KNOCKED ON CRAB KNOCK OR SOMEWHERE ELSE! IMPORTANT!!]

[darkova]

We will investigate it AFTER the game!

[houndumb]

What if it's got to do with the game in the first place!! Weird shit's already happening all over the place!

[And he just wants to do things now now now because he's him.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[It happened regardless of where he hit, though it's clear the forehead is a little more sensitive, the second knock making him groan pitifully.

Elder abuse :(]

[iblistriggered]

Give it a rest, Nora! It's not important right now!

[arraignments]

[ JUST GONNA TRY BODILY SHOVING HIM AWAY WHOOPS.... ]

[houndumb]

[PLANTS HIS FEET AND SHOVES BACK]

[arraignments]

[ grabbing front of his shirt!!! ]

Touch him like that again and I'll kill you!

[iblistriggered]

Goro, Nora...! It's fine. Don't fight...! [he'll grab a hold of Goro's arm, gently]

[houndumb]

What, is he made of paper or somethin'?? The guy survived having an entire crab to the face, ya MORON.

[TRIES TO BITE HIM]

[eldritcheyes]

[Leo's also trying to get between them, scowling at Nora.]

Hey, man! Knock it off, you don't mess with somebody who doesn't feel well! And stop pissing off Akechi, he's got every right to punch you for that stunt!

[He glances back at Akechi, not scowling but looking sympathetic.]

Don't get blood on your hands over this. You're better than that, Akechi.

[iblistriggered]

[concern :C]

[eldritcheyes]

Mori? Are you okay, man? Do you need some water or something?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Some water would be...appreciated, yes.

[He's really not looking good, though...]

[eldritcheyes]

[Since he feels kinda useless in the game, Leo's going to take a moment to find Moriarty some water. They usually have it on game shows where people have to talk a lot, so it stands to reason they'll have it here?

He's worried about what might've triggered this sudden headache, though. The old guy's not gonna keel over, is he?]
