RECORDING 4: THE SECOND WEEK

[foundationmods]

A second week in this place begins, with less of your number among you. With first blood - and oil - spilled, it now seems as if it'll only be a matter of time before the worse eventually happens once more. Thankfully, it seems as if the Miasma is content to remain at the same levels it did before, so arguments are unlikely to break out, though tensions are surely high after everything that's already occurred.

Speaking of which, the temperature remains a consistent comfortable early to mid 70's in the house. It appears at least that you'll be here in comfort..? Though it appears that the rooms have changed, so hopefully you kept anything essential in the static area.

Yet, something feels...wrong. The house feels as if it is laughing at you, when you awake...

...What new horrors await you this week?


WARNING: Some investigations of new areas will contain traps that may be harmful or even lethal.

[oh my god.

he'd be a little more flustered about it but in fact...

he tries not to laugh and holds up his hands with fingers going at her creepily]

That's right, Yacchan! I'm exactly the kind of guy your mother probably warned you about, after all~

[accessorytomurder]

No, Mom told me I could be a prime target for leeching host-types if I wasn't careful.

[She pokes a finger into the center of one of his palms.]

Dazai-kun isn't that flashy. And you haven't asked to borrow money either, so...

[cw_suicide]

[sweetie, he owned those clubs at one point???]

That is true... I am nothing now if not an impoverish worker drone at a typical 9 to 5 job.

[accessorytomurder]

[Yeah but like. He's not a sleazeball around her.]

Long live the wage slaves. Where would Japan be without them?

[She laughs a little bit.]

...though, you're probably the first man I thought could pull off a white suit without looking at least a little tacky.

[cw_suicide]

[this is the most hilarious compliment on his appearance, somehow? he waves a hand.]

It's the difference between a leech and cockroach~ I just know where there's good lighting!

[case in point, he's positioning himself at an angle so he looks very grandiose and pleased with himself.]

[accessorytomurder]

...Pfft.

[cw_suicide]

I thought the yellow dress was really the most flattering, if I'm honest. Enough though yellow can be hard to pull off--certain personalities really bring out the color, doesn't it?

[accessorytomurder]

It was pretty and fun to swish around in, I, um—

[She laughs a little, self-consciously.]

It probably seems silly to somebody like you, but I've never worn anything that backless aside from swimsuits. It felt kind of... daring.

[cw_suicide]

[he smiles, encouragingly, as he taps off more ash--it's burned pretty low now.]

But fun, right?

[accessorytomurder]

...y-yeah.

[She ruffles a hand through her hair.]

I... I've been thinking, I don't want to keep waiting to try the things I've been putting off.

[cw_suicide]

[he nods along because, yeah, seems about right and reasonable.]

Considering circumstances... it's not a bad idea.

[but he is going to avoid thinking about that end scenario by leaning over to get the 8 ball.]

What kinda things were you thinking about?

[accessorytomurder]

Oh, um, well... before... well, before, I thought I might as well kiss somebody during the dares, b-but, um...

[She averts her gaze.]

I... chickened out.

[cw_suicide]

[because his grip wasn't entirely on the ball, it is in fact slipping out from under him a little before he catches himself. HE'S FINE. he's too busy looking at Yachi with surprise]

--eh? Seriously?

[and then if you ever wanted to know just how dumb he is:]

... who?

[accessorytomurder]

—wh... who? U-um... that's...

[She splays a hand over her face, beet red.]

...g... guess...?

[cw_suicide]

[this long look of someone who is once again faced with a VERY SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS ANSWER and yet he is for some reason looking for all the world confused about a puzzle that does not exist.

but then he remembers who he's talking to.

and then there's a feeling not unlike dread... but also charmed disbelief.

points to her?


then... slowly... to himself? increasingly looking surprised as he does.]

[accessorytomurder]

[She slowly... sinks... behind her hands...














...but she nods, the tiniest bit.]

[.......................................

[cw_suicide]

[he looks unbalanced, a bit unsure and hesitant.]

You are... keeping in mind what Ango said... right?

[that was actually real facts and not friendly teasing]

[accessorytomurder]

...........a-ah. Ye...ah. Of course.

[She manages to paste up a smile, as if that can hide her rapid wilting.]

Um, compared to someone w-with... experience... somebody who doesn't know what they're doing would, would j-just, um be... that's a pretty silly favor to ask, i-isn't it?

...

I-I'm sorry.

[cw_suicide]

It's not silly. It actually makes sense. When you go into something, someone with experience can make it less intimidating, right?

[right. ok. yeah. that makes total sense. this is fine, actually? right????]

So you just want to know what it's like? You've never kissed anyone before?

I do have to point out that it's a bit different for everyone.

[accessorytomurder]

..............................................n-not once, nope. I, um...

[Ignore that part of the question she didn't answer.]

I think, um, th-the team scared off people in high school, if, um, if... anyone ever... wanted to... a-and I was... busy with school...

[cw_suicide]

Oh, yeah, that would do it.

[silly boys, but also: mood. he's even trying to defend her from himself so like... l-lol.]

Well, one thing for sure is knowing that there are people who tie in feelings with it, and people who don't. Or people in the middle who can go back and forth with it depending on partner.

Me? I don't think I've had a partner I've felt that close with. So I can't even say how good of I am or not.

[for... reasons. don't worry about it. but also: explains the playboy.]

[accessorytomurder]

...I can't... think of you as 'bad.'

[Even knowing what she does. Even with Ango's disclaimer, even with her conversation with Rin fresh in her mind.

She smiles, sweet and kind.]

It's... probably hard for you to accept it, because they, um, they wanted... things from you that you didn't want to offer. But, e-even then... you were really wanted. So, even if they only saw a li-little of the real Dazai-san... um, I think, I think that you must be very good, to be wanted so much. ...though, um, maybe I-I'm biased.

[cw_suicide]

[... orite. this is the same girl who called him out on so much of his other bullshit ahahahaha screeeeeaaaam.]

I... guess so?

[accessorytomurder]

...at the very least, you know you're better than me...?

[Is that... is that more acceptable praise?]
