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.]

[Ozaki huffs in slight amusement too. It's this or stress himself further, and he doesn't have enough cigarettes for that.]

I'm sure that's a punishment they're not going to forget.

[He's still going to have a Chat with Nora whenever he's not a frog anymore, though. Bad dog B( ]

[visionem]

Perhaps. Demons tend to be very stubborn.

[hematocritic]

If he needs another reminder, I'll give it to him myself.

[Needlessly causing reasons to need a doctor is a fast track to genocide making Ozaki angry]

[visionem]

...oh?

[hematocritic]

Brats need discipline, mutts even moreso. If he's going to act like a mutt, I'll treat him like one.

[Where's a newspaper...]

[visionem]

So you intend to make a show of your will, I see...

[ There's a certain weight to his words, but he doesn't seem bothered. ]

Cerberus are always difficult to handle, and it takes a certain master to do so. I wonder how your bid will go?

[hematocritic]

[His lips thin to a line before he forces himself to relax]

We'll see, won't we? It all depends on if Ingway managed to have his lesson stick in the first place anyway.

[Nora still might hear it from him, regardless.]

[visionem]

We will see, Ozaki Toshio. I look forward to the result.

[ That is not ominous sounding at all. ]

[hematocritic]

[Ozaki looks forward to it too, provided it's positive. He nods in Alcor's direction in acknowledgement]

Hah, thanks Alcor.
