FINALE
[And finally, after everything...it's over.
Everything is back to how it should be, once you exit out of the door behind the Waterfall. There are so many Monsters around, all of them excited and running around. Some are wondering what happened - some are just overwhelmed.
But, regardless....they're alive. They're here, after so much time. All of Monsterkind, back where they should be.
And everyone who you've lost...
They're back. They're back.
You have overcome so much. You have suffered through so much, and seen to the other side.
But now, for the first time in a long, long time...
...The Future is truly the brightest it's ever been.
No more pain. Only....forward, into wherever you go from here.
Though there is still so much to fix....there is still, as always...
Hope, and Dreams.
Hold onto those...
....And there's nothing you can't accomplish.]
THE END.
no subject
but no. he has gone through An Ordeal and he has behaved and he has had done his best and he can die after this.
FINGER! DRAMATIC POINTING!]
As easy as it is to compare me to the Dazai Osamu you once met, I am not that man! And, in fact, I should be insulted to be compared and treated as such! I do you the courtesy of treating you as your own person and thus...!
[... thus...? brain is catching up with his words and he is not shounen hero enough for this. but then he spits out the words like he's been rehearsing them. which... yeah. he has.]
If you can't do me the same and at least give me a chance, that's your loss!
[yep.
he did one whole Stand Up For Self. he can die now--he won't because uh. three people will hunt him down, but. him dead. this has killed him.]
no subject
[ this is... a lot to take in.
did the other oda sakunosuke have to go through anything similar to this? for some reason, oda can't help but feel a bit sorry for that man that is him but at the same time is not. the man that was dazai's true friend.
and yet he sees dazai here, calling him out on something that oda is already more than aware of. the recordings of this mission have made it all that obvious. certainly enough, this man is not the man that he met at that bar. if oda had to describe the differences, one of them would be clearer than the rest of them.
this man...is not as broken. ]
Mm. Makes sense. [ he nods. it's difficult not to think about how he saw dazai struggling against those tendrils, getting his SOUL sliced... ] Lots of people care about you. I don't think I'm necessary in this equation.
no subject
did he... did he fuck up? it feels like he fucked up.
except he pushes on, finger lowered but hand now on his hip while its opposite waves itself distractedly]
That's right. You're not necessary.
I have enough on my plate keeping other people satisfied--your demands will have to go elsewhere!
However!
... if you happen to like a good whiskey now and again, I guess I could afford to share a little. You'd be surprised how little people appreciate a good drink now and again. It's really aggravating!
no subject
[ oda has no reason to doubt what dazai says. from what he saw, he did seem to have a lot of people backing him up. even an o5...
so he couldn't understand what came after. is that...really an invitation? ]
You're asking me if I want to go out for drinks?
no subject
a bit of hesitation creeps in and he's trying to read the expression on this Oda's face but it's that Same But Completely Different sort of experience each time he's interacted with the man...
he shrugs a bit, aiming for nonchalant.]
If you want. It's not an obligation or anything.
Just an open invitation. Since I'm thinking of staying around a while. I'll have a lot of nonsense to get up to with the Foundation being full of oblivious higher ups and all. Though a couple of them are better about it. So drinks will probably happen pretty often, either way.
no subject
[ he nods, expression as blank as it has always been as his mind thinks of multiple situations as to why dazai would go this far for someone like him.
beyond their argument months ago, wasn't he going to be just a painful reminder of dazai of the person that he could never be? in that case, wouldn't it have been better for the other man to leave him alone, and spend his time with the crowd of people that cared for him?
he doesn't understand. but he also doesn't want to reject him. not after everything that he has seen these past few weeks. certainly, the desire is still there, but they are little more than cooling embers.
oda sighs, scratching the back of his neck. ]
Well, I've no real reason to leave this place anymore. The pay's decent, and it's a steady job. The people I care about work here, too. But I don't really have a drinking partner, now that I think about it.
no subject
... really?
no subject
If you don't want to, I understand. There's better people out there, I'm sure.
no subject
Not really.
Wait, no, I mean--I'm not very good at this. But! You're fine. I wouldn't ask someone for drinks if I didn't think they were fun to drink with, right?
Besides, who else but Oda-san could I pester about all this literature I keep ending up thrown at me--literally! Inaba-chan threw some at me after the Winchester house!
no subject
[ checkmate, dazai. ]
no subject
... and Solomon's poetry is definitely a different brand of literature and I already have plans to annoy him about his job, he probably won't want to deal with me after hours so much.
[maybe occasionally, tho
so HA! CHECKMATE YOURSELF, ODA SAKUNOSUKE!]
no subject
hm. maybe dazai just doesn't like her. that also seems like a valid option. ]
Yeah, it wouldn't be good to keep him away from his job for too long...[ he sighs. ] Well, if you really don't mind. But I'm not...that good of a drinking partner either. I'm not interesting.
no subject
[as if he's hearing the worst thing someone could say about Oda Sakunosuke. which, in fact, it is.]
I refuse to believe this! And anyway, everyone knows I'm the one who acts out the most, so you don't even have to worry about being the energetic one!
no subject
[ he's not sure what part of that shocked dazai so much, but oda doesn't really want to press the subject. instead, he nods. perhaps going along with this guy's antics would be easier than he thought. ]
Alright. That sounds good.
no subject
Just leave it to me, then! I'm sure there's something going on for you that we could drink to, anyway, so there's no way you're boring if that's the case.
no subject
[ oh. that actually gets an emotional response out of oda. not a big one, but there is a light flush on his cheeks as he thinks about-- ]
I got engaged.
1/3
no subject
no subject
[can he grab an arm he's gonna grab an arm and start pulling Oda over to wherever there's drinks.]
And something definitely not boring!
[when you're so hype that a person is happy because even if things are still awkward and different, you still really care about that person's happiness...]
Why would this person agree to marry you if you were boring? Don't be silly! Trust their judgement!
