RECORDING 5: THE SECOND MURDER

[foundationmods]

A second week, with it's own answers and questions, has almost passed. The loss of a fellow agent is a hard blow to take - but as everyone went to bed, there might have been the faint hope that maybe that would be the only loss...

Yet, upon awakening, there is that same feeling of dread coiling in your gut, just as it did last friday. That same self-satisfied feeling lingers in the air, and you must pull yourself from your bed...and count your losses.

As you all rise and look towards a new day, the faint traces of Miasma lap at your heels...

...And around whatever corpse now lingers in the hallways...

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods.))

...I suppose I don't need it, but. You know. It is also my room, where my things are.

[accessorytomurder]

Y...es...

[That. Is. A factual statement!]

I, um... needed something of mine. Briefly. And, uh... privacy. S-Sorry, I... didn't think you'd be back yet...

[cw_suicide]

[he is just going to continue to not move and pretend he does not exist here, tyvm]

[reanimania]

So I see.

[ ...

Well, he's going to come in and grab his coat and notebook off of his bed.

And flip to one of the back pages for a moment. ]

[accessorytomurder]

[The room is... beyond still, at this point.]

[cw_suicide]

[i-it sure is...

Saphir, have mercy!]

[reanimania]

[ Takes his stuff and heads back to the door!! ]

For the record, you really are a sleazebag.

[ Aaaand he's out. As you were. ]

[accessorytomurder]

Dr. Saphir!

[NO.]

I-I'm sorry, Dazai-kun. I should've just crawled back under the table...

[cw_suicide]

[nope, too late

while she was yelling at Saphir, Dazai had already dropped to the floor and is making his way under a bed to live amongst the dust bunnies and filth because there's no trashcan big enough in here and it is where he belongs]

[accessorytomurder]

D-Dazai-kun...

[She kneels back down, peering under the bed.]

Come back out here. ...p-please?

[cw_suicide]

[the sheer levels of mortification, he's just kind of laying on his face because just don't even look at him

muffled, being spoken to the floor:]

N-no, it's fine, Yachi-chan. The truth sets us free, right? So naturally, this is the correct place for a person like this to go...

[accessorytomurder]

Y-You didn't do anything wrong...! Please come out?

[Time to try drastic measures.]

...for me?

[cw_suicide]

[that's cheating

but he's at least looking up at her and making the effort to get closer to the edge of the bed.]

[accessorytomurder]

There we go.

[She reaches a hand in to help pull him out.]

Come on. Upsy-daisy.

[cw_suicide]

[whyyyyyy... but he obediently pulls himself out from under the bed.

... he is covered in dustbunnies]

[accessorytomurder]

[Gently, she begins to dust him off.]

...there. Now, what was that about?

[cw_suicide]

[staaaares while she does that.]

... which "that"?

[accessorytomurder]

We... we'll start with, um... with... what Dr. Saphir interrupted.

[You know exactly "that" sir.]

[private, you interrupting stalkers!]

[cw_suicide]

[he's looking to the door again, making sure it is. shut.

then he looks back to her and, well, the mortification still hasn't gotten out of his system but.]

... did it... not make sense?

[private]

[accessorytomurder]

That's, well—I mean... When you said "very selfish" and "this" did you... did you mean...

[private]

[cw_suicide]

[........ is that not clear enough????

opens mouth





closes mouth...








checks door again.

then, in a bit of a mutter:]

I might be... experienced with physical things, but it's not like I know anything about how to handle this sort of thing...

But I guess, to be clear... I don't just. Think of you... as a friend?

[look. it might sound a bit uncertain but spoilers about Dazai Osamu: his confidence is actually 90% fake in the first place. and 10% is based on intellectual standards, not... this.]

But since you kept saying "friends", I didn't want to push it, so...

[he just kept up his usual???]

... I messed up.

Re: [private]

[accessorytomurder]

[There are! A lot of ways! To be selfish!]

O...

[Her cheeks are heating rapidly, and her voice dwindles to a squeak.]

O-Oh.

[Oh.]

I-I, um. I th-thought... "friends" was the most I c-could've really hoped for...

[private]

[cw_suicide]

How many times did I argue with you about things like rankings and such?!

[AND HERE HE THOUGHT HE WAS BEING A TOO OBVIOUS DINGUS]

[private]

[accessorytomurder]

Y... you can be attracted to people you aren't even friends with!

[He's??? The least opaque person???]

[private]

[cw_suicide]

Mo-kun isn't even on my Top 5! Of course my Top 5 involve more than just physical attraction!
