[ 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. ]
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.
[ 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. ]
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.
[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
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! ]
[ 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.]
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.]
[ 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.
[ 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?
[ 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. ]
[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.]
[ 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?
at the same time, man is drawn to death. Death is endlessly consumed by men in cities and in literature. It is a singular event in one's life that none may reverse. That is what I desire.
