nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"

[tsunderine]

The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?

But it's there, along with the end of the week.

Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.


Well.

Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.

So what are you doing these next two days?

[onemolife]

Do you ever really listen to Ango though?

[ There's a little fondness to his tone. ]

She's the type that just helps herself anyways. Even if you stayed away, she would have gotten in.

[cw_suicide]

Sometimes.

[not usually about this because obviously he still ended up caring about her]

And yeah, probably... though I did make her cry.

[onemolife]

[ Him and making girls cry ]

You know she didn't regret those tears.

[ He saw them during her final moments. ]

She's a little like you now that I think about it.

[cw_suicide]

[... wait what?]

Huh?

We're not that much alike.

[she had a legit terrible backstory and everything?]

Don't insult her like that.

[onemolife]

It's not an insult. You're both teases who can be stubborn.

[ Do you need to be reminded about those knife wounds. ]

You're also both easier to go along with.

[ They both were also safe to flirt with ]

[cw_suicide]

Says the biggest tease around!

[please. his wounds are nearing healed-ish now, tyvm

[onemolife]

Aiya. You make it sound like I'd tease just about anyone.

[ He limited it to those who wouldn't take it seriously. ]

[cw_suicide]

Maybe you should.

[prods him in the head]

[onemolife]

[ Don't prod, he's comfy. Reaching up to prod the prodding finger. ]

I don't want to give anyone false hope.

[cw_suicide]

[he can have the prodding finger if only because dazai kind of stills at that.]

... I'm... terrible for that, aren't I?

[he has no hope and yet!]

[onemolife]

[ Whoops.

He has a hand captured. After a moment he'll work on opening that hand up to slide his fingers in-between each of his. ]

I wouldn't say you're terrible. You're trying to figure it all, aren't you? Your own path and trying to be better.

[cw_suicide]

That's giving false hope, in the end.

[like. just saying.

but he's looking at their hands.]

... I still don't know if this way of doing things is "worth it", but... I still... maybe like it? Better than how I did things before.

[onemolife]

[ Thinking about it for a moment. ]

I suppose it depends on the person. Some of them need the false hope to keep going forward, while others could get crushed beneath it.

If you might like it, then that should be enough.

[cw_suicide]

Should be...

... what about you?

[onemolife]

Are you asking if I need false hope or if liking it should be enough for me?

[cw_suicide]

Both.

[onemolife]

[ Lifting his head a little bit to look at him. Is he still look at their hands? ]

I don't need false hope and for now this is enough for me.

[ Theres another pause. ]

I suppose I should make it even between us. I did get a little more from you than you got from me the other night. Go ahead and ask something personal.

[cw_suicide]

[he is. mostly he's also moving his hand around so he can look at the different angles. hands. they fascinating.

he mulls it over for a moment before asking:]

Early on, Giovanni-kun said something about villains getting a bad rep or something. As someone who'd belong in that category myself, I want to know... why you turned up then?

[onemolife]

[ He has pretty nice hands at least. He'll let him examine them. ]

Would you believe that I was once known as a villain? There were even terrible drawings of me to scare away evil with evil. [ Making a clicking sound with his tongue before he lays his head back on his shoulder. His own gaze is on their hands. ]

There were even rumors that I've killed thousands of people.

[cw_suicide]

What nasty rumors.

[they ain't rumors, huh]

[onemolife]

[ There may be some exaggeration to them. ]

Right? I can't believe what people will say about a person. I'm sure you might have had something similar.

[cw_suicide]

Mm, they do.

There's rumors that I was a demon child prodigy who was right hand to a mafia boss. I think I once heard something about "the one thing Dazai's enemies regret is being Dazai's enemy"...

... there was a rumor that the Boss had a friend of mine killed to force me out because he thought I'd kill him first.

[onemolife]

Ah, those are quite the rumors. I wonder if people have anything better to do than talk?

[ Though that last one. Hm. ]

There's talk about how I brought misfortune to everyone around me and lead my clan to near extinction. That I killed my own Shije and let my Ghost General run wild like a feral dog.

[ There's a hint of bitterness creeping in his words. ]

[cw_suicide]

Shije?

[onemolife]

Onee-san. We weren't related by blood, but we grew up together like family.
