Saturday meeting/afterparty?
[Everything happens so fucking much. Akira, unlike some, is actually still functioning through all this disaster.
For now.
God, he made a mess of this. He really is Moriarty's, isn't he?
He spreads the word to have a meeting at the studio since all the surveillance is turned off there for the moment. Including to the people that remained at the house, when he goes back to collect food and drinks. Leftovers, mostly. Curry and tacos and tempura and whatever else.
The studio is a mess but he just sets up as best he can among the debris. He picks a pile to perch on with a sigh.]
I know everyone's tired and generally fucked up in one way or another but we don't know how long we have before Mission Control or someone else makes a move. We probably have a lot to discuss.
...it'll be up to all of you if you want me involved in that after I say my piece. I intended to warn you all beforehand but... I ended up missing the meeting the other day.
Short version, some of this disaster is my fault. Longer version, I decided Nora had a point about using the death that had to happen anyway. So I staged a confrontation for the camera in Dazai's office and offered him my services in exchange for my own safety. I knew the Foundation would buy it. I thought I could help cover for his lapses better.
He asked me to sabotage today's game.
And I did.
For now.

Looks like there'd be a line for it.
[ -to Inaba, lol. Then, after Atsushi's response, this prinny is lightly patting other prinny's shoulder. ]
... Biased.

[ A weak chuckle, and then waving one flipper dismissively. ]
I didn't say I needed to be in the front of the line.

Of course, of course.

[ DID
SHE JUST FRIENDZONE HIM ]
no subject
Hmmmmmm........... ]
Comrades, huh?
[ There's a bit of a pause... Guess what prinny costumes help with: concealed expressions!
What they do NOT help with? Voice control. He sounds... kind of awkward. ]
Is- that where you'll want to keep things between us?
no subject
[ she cants her head to the side, blinking at him owlishly. ]
I'm not sure I'm understanding. . .
no subject
[ THERE. He did it. ]
And... i-- when we get through this, if you're okay with it, I wouldn't mind just the two of us hanging out more, getting to know each other better...
[ Ack, starting to ramble. JUST COME OUT WITH IT, GOSH-- ]
... I wanted to talk to Akira about asking you out on a date, sometime.
1 / 2
no subject
...
let her listen to the rest of that and just uh. sorry, her face is gonna redden at that just a little. ]
Ah--
But. . . why me?
no subject
Why not you? You're smart, funny, cute - beautiful, really... I enjoy talking to you, listening to you, and...
[ Just! Fidgeting a bit with the flippers of the costume... ]
... You don't... make me feel like what the demons in my own head insist I am... For a little while, when I talk to you, I feel- a little less like I'm nothing more than a terrible person? But, more than that...
[ Gently resting a hand on her upper arm. ]
Even just thinking about you, I feel more motivated to keep trying. Imagining you and the others in my future... That's what's keeping me going.
no subject
You can't just-- confess to me today of all days! I'm already a huge mess from earlier, so-- I can't. . .
I can't answer that right now.
[ HER FACE IS SUPER RED THOUGH ]
no subject
I wasn't expecting an answer yet... but...
[ There's fondness in his voice. ]
There was... a lot I left out of the letter. [ THE LETTER THAT IS BEING TYPED TOMORROW, WHEEZES ] Because... I felt like you deserved to only ever hear it directly from it, I suppose.
[ Waving the flippers a tiny bit. ]
A-anyway, I'm just glad I finally told you! Take all the time you want, okay? No matter how you feel, in the end... it won't change how I see you and feel about you.
no subject
[ her voice is pitching.
like higher than normal if he's paying attention. like real close attention. especially given that her voice is pretty naturally deep. ]
I didn't think I'd get confessed to again. I never felt like I deserved it.
no subject
[ He says that kind of weakly.
It's like he'd been torn between trying to lighten the situation, and maybe just making it clear he gets it?
Only to wind up trying to do both at the same time. ]
You deserve... more than just that, though.
no subject
no subject
[There's nothing wrong with being aware he's a danger to everyone around him???]
I already told you why I like you, but if you need a refresher later I'd be happy to oblige.
[He's once again glad for the plush body, because he can say this with a straight face without blushing.]
...Same goes for Akira...
no subject
[ ... Yeah, bless the prinny costumes, if only for them hiding the redness of their faces. ]
N-no, I don't need a... [ ... ] I-it's just... I'm...
[ . . . . . . . ]
There are... a lot of reasons I'm not a great pick. I was going to warn you, in fact, that dating me comes with a lot of- baggage attached.
[ There's a wry laugh. ]
But, you? You're wonderful. You're strong and brave and... just- [ flipper touching other prinny ] amazing... okay?
not really here but
