Opinions without 3.1415 are just Onions (Week1 post trial)

[ghostricked]

After everything, the house seems almost too still and too mundane. At least as long as the doors to that room remain closed. One by one those covered in what was once their teammate are lead to the showers or change in silence. There is no warm meal waiting for them. No words of encouragement.

Life goes on, regardless.

[WHAT IS THIS, IS HE BEING KINKSHAMED OR SOMETHING?!]

... what... are... suicides...?

[SURELY SHE'S THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE???]

[accessorytomurder]

Oh!

[Of course... the mafia probably never put him through basic P.E., huh?]

You mark down sections of a floor or hall, then race to the first mark, bolt back to the starting line, run for the second line, and repeat until you've covered the whole distance. ...though, come to think of it, that would be pretty disruptive to everyone else...

[cw_suicide]

I would also die immediately.

[what an aptly named exercise.]

Maybe yoga would be gentler on my healing wounds... they've been doing a lot better, even.

[accessorytomurder]

Oh! No, I-I was going to have you... keep time for me...

[Ah, wait.]

But... that wouldn't be much fun for you, come to think of it. Let's see... what else is there...

[They can't dance in the ballroom or sit in the living room, thanks Sho...]

[cw_suicide]

There might be something to do in the Powder Room?

Or the Dressing Room. I haven't really gone in.

[accessorytomurder]

The Powder Room is full of toiletries and poison.

[SO UNLESS YOU WANT REAL SUICIDES...]

...I haven't spent much time in the Dressing Room either. So... dress-up?

[cw_suicide]

[..... welp. there is sure to be a poison death at some point in all of this. GOOD TO KNOW.]

Dress up sounds fun.

[accessorytomurder]

[Dazai. That assumes we get to keep the Powder Room...]

Yeah... Yeah! Why not. Let's go. But, um... be careful, won't you?

[cw_suicide]

[you assume people couldn't just yoink some of that poison.]

Ahhh... should I have not brought up the injuries? I'll be fine. I've been doing very well, in fact!

[accessorytomurder]

Okay, if you say so...

[Off they go!]

[cw_suicide]

[to the dressing room! /o/]

So then... we each pick out an outfit to show off to the other? Or should we be picking for each other?

[accessorytomurder]

How about... we each start on a rack, and the other person picks a number, and we... take the outfit that we land on, and surprise each other with it?

So... I'll pick '19' for you.

[cw_suicide]

All right. '7' for you, then.

[accessorytomurder]

Okay!

[She rummages around, and he might see a flash of yellow before she scuttles off to change. But he won't see the whole shebang until she creeps back out.]

Um, so... here it is!

[God help him, she does a fluttery little spin.]

[cw_suicide]

[oh no.

funny enough, his outfit seems to go with just fine? he cleans up... real nice.]

Oh! That's definitely a good look for you!

[accessorytomurder]

I've, um, never really worn anything this fancy!

[She gives another spin, because... well, it's fun?]

You look really cool, Dazai-kun.

[cw_suicide]

[he looks down at himself and kind of makes a bemused face at the coat.]

Well~ It's not too different from other outfits I've worn. Though those were black.

[haa... white's just a more interesting color, really.

and he's offering his left hand to her]

[accessorytomurder]

...?

[She takes the hand.]

[cw_suicide]

[time to help her do more spins]

[accessorytomurder]

—whoah!

[She's surprised at first, but then the laughter comes.]

[cw_suicide]

[laughter is always a sound he prefers over crying, so: mission accomplished.

he'll make sure she doesn't fall over when the spins stop at least.]

Mm! Lucky number 7 strikes again!

[accessorytomurder]

W... we should see what 7 gets you, this time.

[cw_suicide]

And how 'bout 22 for you?

[accessorytomurder]

22... 22...

[She counts her way out, finds it, and...

...

Welp.]

Am I... Is the hat on straight, Dazai-kun?

[cw_suicide]

[... welp.

only going to tilt her hat just a little.

his outfit is definitely an old-style kimono set (minus eye bandages).]

It's certainly an eclectic sort of collection, isn't it?
