RECORDING 11: THE FOURTH MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A fourth week, and this is now definitely routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

You must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone.

...But, wait.

What's that smell...?

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

The one borrowing it isn't very good, either.

[ If only he wasn't frozen... then they could at least have closed his eyes. ]

[cw_suicide]

... if I had some coins...

Though, I don't actually know if he would be offended by that or not.

[second cigarette being lit while the first is being put into one of Ango's hands. look. don't question.]

[onemolife]

[ He won't question it. ]

I can make paper money later.

[ For them to burn or leave with him. Not that it matters here but... ]

Maybe we should bring back some whiskey?

[cw_suicide]

Open bottle of it in the lounge is poisoned.

Some kind of mechanical chemical.

Probably... someone had him drink it during the party, to start with.

[onemolife]

[ Wow. Not only did he leave him there to socialize, he also got poisoned. ]

That's...

[ A bit overkill. Nani the fuck, killer? ]

[cw_suicide]

I could be wrong because weirder things have happened...

But my mafia experience makes this look more like a hit job.

[just... saying.]

[onemolife]

If they put it in a bottle, then anyone at the party could have drank it.

[ There were party games going on. WTF ]

1/2

[cw_suicide]

Ango has a preference for whiskey. So do I.

[yeah, idk. it's kind of a fucked up situation.

indicating the gunshot to Ango's head though.]

Execution shot. If he was already bleeding out, then he would have been on the ground, person's height--

[cw_suicide]

[actually.

hm.

someone probably checked that.

and this isn't the time to be talking about that.]

... sorry.

[said quietly because he knows he's doing A Thing]

[onemolife]

[ Shaking his head after a moment before he reaches up to stroke Dazai's hair. ]

You're trying to figure it out. We should get some pictures of his body... before pulling him out of here.

[ It doesn't feel right leaving him in ice ]

[cw_suicide]

They'll steal his body no matter where we put it...

[onemolife]

I know...

[ Sighing. He's going to reach for Dazai's cigarette though. ]

[cw_suicide]

[he can have that one, yeah.]

... I hate that I'm feeling relieved that it was only him and me from our world. The Agency has too many good people to be here...

[onemolife]

[ Taking a slow drag before he breathes out. ]

Can't really blame you. There aren't very many who that I could think of that would deserve this house.

[ He isn't going to say no one deserves it because there were people in his past life he would send here. ]

[cw_suicide]

[same hat, honestly.]

... I don't want to face his ghost.

[onemolife]

I'd offer to make a charm, but I don't know if it'll work next week or it'll work for long.

[ Shifting closer to offer the cigarette back over and start combing his hair gently. ]

I can tell you I'll try to be around to help when he does find you.

[cw_suicide]

[he's done smoking for now so actually just leaning into the hairpets.]

This really is... a personal hell.

And I can't even say I don't deserve it.

But maybe... Ango didn't so much...

["maybe" because he was still a shady spy]

[onemolife]

[ He'll keep it then. ]

I can say you don't deserve it, but I don't know if you would believe it.

[ He's biased, while Dazai is biased against himself at times ]

He told me about everything.

[cw_suicide]

[... for some reason, that makes Dazai just feel so very small and young and it's painful and he hates it--oh right, the word is vulnerable

but he doesn't say anything, just looks even more like he just wants to not feel anymore.]

[onemolife]

[ Time to put out the cigarette and then hook his arm around Dazai to guide him out of there. ]

Come on...

[ Being vulnerable in the freezing room with your dead friend doesn't sound like a good time. ]

[cw_suicide]

[no but it's what he deserves, isn't it???

which is to say he's not really wanting to move but he's also not fighting against any pulls. the usual. but worse.]

[onemolife]

[ That means Wei Wuxian can do whatever he wants, right? Just going to take him back towards the smoking lounge. There isn't any blood there, right? And maybe he can find alcohol without poison. ]

[cw_suicide]

[it's not hard to avoid. Dazai didn't recap it.

there's also the cloth that's soaked in it.

he's not thrilled to be back in here, tbqh]

[onemolife]

[ He sees that look. Give him a moment. He's grabbing the cognac that wasn't tampered with and a couple of pillows before steering him out again.

Okay after a moment, he'll just steer him back towards static area and to the dining room. NO WHERE IS GOOD TODAY so maybe they can just chill under the table or something. ]

Better?
