From the white lights, the darkness comes...

[sageking]

Today's trial was a mixture of regret, anger, guilt, and second-thoughts. Perhaps some people realized that situations and choices weren't to be black or white. However, decisions were made, and whether it'd be through people keeping secrets or causing a ton of chaos...everyone could probably agree on one thing:

They've made their choices and no matter what happened in the coming days, they will lie in the beds they made for themselves. Whatever that should mean for each and every single person still living here.

That being said, there's still new choices to make. In the days to come, what will those be?

[Dazai is in the smoking lounge, uh, smoking.

though he's quick to put out the cigarette when he notices Sissel.]

Sorry about the smell.

[ghostricked]

It's fine. This is a room for it, right? Don't stop on my account.

...you're free to choke yourself. You're an adult.

[Is he joking? Probably since he looks so pleased with himself]

[cw_suicide]

[well, it's Dazai's level of humor so. he huffs a laugh.]

Still, I'd rather give your nose a break. We'll need it.

[ghostricked]

Hopefully, we won't. But I appreciate it either way.

[cw_suicide]

... y'know. I would give you an ear scratch if I didn't think my ability would affect you somehow.

[it took 4 weeks, but he's finally admitting to the thing]

[ghostricked]

Ah, so that's what it is. I was wondering.

What gives me my powers is deep in my body- do you think it'd still affect it?

[cw_suicide]

... I'm not sure.

Either it's even touching your body would dispel the magic or I'd need to touch the source to do so.

[ghostricked]

It's not the source of my intelligence or my ghost powers, or well it IS but it's not a constant effect- it's the source of my immortality. Best case I'd start aging normally again.

Worst case I might just die. I don't think that would happen though?

[cw_suicide]

It's your life.

[ghostricked]

Sort of. Basically it has 'stopped my time'. It's getting weaker, which is why I can be hurt at all-

[He noses the white spot on his body where Ky zapped him]

- but normally I'd be unchanging. I don't heal, I just 'was never hurt in the first place'. If that makes sense?
