Week 1 Monday

[notbymyside]

[TIME FOR A CONVERSATION.]

Have you seen those profiles yet?

[deadlygoals]

[ They can have this conversation, while Dazai is attempting to shake the water from his suit's coat. So he's just in the white button up and his slacks, looking very much like a wet cat in places. Parts of his top are see through thanks to where the water managed to hit, like his chest and shoulders. He can probably make out the bandages continuing beyond what's usually visible. ]

Wondering if I've seen your profession yet?

[ Glancing at him with an unreadable expression. Hmm. ]

[notbymyside]

That, and how old some of the others here are. Half of them probably aren't even human.

[But that's not the point of this talk, is it? There's no avoiding the truth, and if he is honest about it then he can tell the truth that he wants to tell. ]

We all left. It happens shortly after the point in time you're from. Everything involving Mimic was just too much, and we left.

So yes, that is my job four years in the future.

DAT MOTIVE THO

[notbymyside]

[So. Dazai.

Have Ango holding out his picture for you to see. Surprise, it's older-you.]

I think I can guess who your 'target' is.

dat motive 1/2

[deadlygoals]

[ He can tell this is serious time, so his eyes are wide for a moment as he focuses on the photo.

Huh. That's... older!him is different. It's four years, but... it doesn't look like he's living in complete darkness any more. It's a weird feeling, which leaves Dazai without words for a moment or two longer. Then he digs out the folded up photo to hand it over to offer it over. He's not going to share that Ango probably should be in that picture as well if he wasn't here or missing at that time. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ And just like that, he's back to normal. Giving a stupid grin as he wiggles his fingers. ]

I didn't know I mean that much to you, Ango~

[notbymyside]

You should already know that I'm not one to make friends normally.

[>T]

You and Odasaku are the ones most important to me, and between you two I worry about you more. That's all.

And you physically being here means they can carry out a threat against you extremely easily. You need to take this seriously, Dazai-kun. If they don't get what they want, you could end up being the example to motivate others to murder.

Wednesday; Evening?

[deadlygoals]

[ Whenever Ango returns to his room, he'll find that his door is unlocked. There's also the smell of a burning scented candle. It smells sweet. ]

[notbymyside]

[Yeah, no. As soon as he feels that the door is unlocked, he's going to turn right around and walk down to the supply closet.

A couple minutes later, he comes back and actually steps into the room, this time armed with a spray bottle full of water. So where is Dazai?]

1/2

[deadlygoals]

[ He's taking over the top bunk dressed up in some ridiculous theater clothes. He's free to notice that his bandages are also different since they are made from strips of bed sheets. ]

Ah~ Ango!

[ Totally casual like he belongs in here. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Wait. Spotting that spray bottle. He has a bad feeling... ]

What's that for?

Week 2: Post Motive

[deadlygoals]

[ Sometime after motive, there will be sheets put back up over the various of exhibits in the museum. In particular, the Mammoth skull has been covered up again. There's wet hand prints on the edges of the sheet. Come check it out, Ango. ]

[notbymyside]

[Wet handprints, huh?

Ango will go over and investigate that sheet.]

[deadlygoals]

[ It smells like aquarium water.

When he investigates or moves closer to it, Dazai is going to strike. Bouncing up from his spot from behind the skull, while throwing the sheet around Ango's middle, trying to wrap it around him. Surprise! ]

week 4: monday brooding

[deadlygoals]

[ Ango will find the door to his bedroom unlocked and the smell of a scented candle (a sandalwood scent) wafting out. It's been a while since he's seen a similar scene. Dazai's shoes will be found around the entrance and the man himself will be sprawled across Ango's bed. He seems to find the wall pretty fascinating or maybe he's just zoning out. The weird thing is, he doesn't seem to react to Ango being back yet.]

[notbymyside]

[...this sure is Dazai brooding.

Before even approaching Dazai, Ango goes over to his desk and sets his items down on it. A notebook, some pencils, a couple glowsticks. The snowglobe is back too, as he never found its owner. They're probably dead, he reasons. The gun is also placed on the table too, instead of being tucked away like he normally does when he's not carrying it.

Only then does he approach Dazai, pulling up a chair next to the bed.]

That rough of a day, huh?

[deadlygoals]

[ He can tell it's Ango from the sounds of his foot steps coming in, but he still doesn't move or greet him until after Ango says that. Looking at him before the corner of his mouths lift just a bit. ]

Got a reminder about why I shouldn't want for anything.

[ Sitting up, as he looks at Ango. ]

I'm trying to figure out if I want to prolong any suffering by still wanting it. [ A beat ] Lady also killed again. Someone fairly innocuous. She might be getting out of control with her temper.

Post Week 4 Trial

[deadlygoals]

[ He can't break in this time because his hands are full. So he's shifting his load to one arm to knock on the door. ]

Delivery!

[ Let him in ]

[notbymyside]

[He lets him in, and-]

Where did you get all of that? I thought the bar was locked down by Rideaux right now.

[deadlygoals]

He gave me two bottles to leave him alone.

[ He also has convenience store snacks. ]

Week 5 Post Motive + Party

[deadlygoals]

[ After the party, Dazai is showing up at Ango's door. He's going to try to open the door first before helping himself to unlocking it like he owns it. ]

You know, we really should ask for a spare key to be made. Think they would do it?

[notbymyside]

Why would they do it when you can open the door just fine on your own?

[He's actually out of his jacket right now, which is totally dressing down for him!]

[deadlygoals]

True~ But they might not know that.

[ Omai so scandalous. His gaze does slide across Ango, but he's discreetly searching for signs of distress or the guilt that's been weighing more and more on those shoulders. He'll close the door and lock it behind him. ]

What did you think of the Lady's incentive?

week 5 post-investigation

[notbymyside]

[You know, at first he had been doing fine. But when they got the call to go investigate not even an hour after he got back, he started getting nervous. And by now, he looks like a wreck.

...well okay, to most people he might look composed, but Dazai will be able to see that his anxiety tics easily. And he doesn't usually pace the room like he's doing now. He does stop when Dazai enters the room, though.]

Just how bad was it?

[deadlygoals]

[ He's letting his gaze move across Ango. He does notice he's nervous. He's pulling out bullet casing he found from the crime scene to hold it up. ]

It wasn't that bad. Just a single gunshot wound to his back. I'm sure the trial will be messier.

[ It's going to be a lot and no one will have had sleep. ]

He died recently, but we can't narrow down the time further than a couple hours. [ And because of that... ] Are you going to tell me who you were with earlier?
