[ 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! ]
[ Dazai is also wet and he smells pretty fishy. Like fish tank fishy. After wrapping the sheet around him, he'll move in closer with a large smile on his face as he wiggles a hand. ]
I'll give you something sweet, too~
[ Wrapping his arms around him to give him a big, tight hug. Just think of how gross that fishy water is, Ango. Just think ]
[ He's keeping up! Falling in step beside him as they head back.
He's going to put off any serious talk until after he gets Ango in the shower. He'll chatter about nonsense on their way over to the housing. Like how these abilities they have now can actually be shown to girls without them fuzzing up, or how many balls are in the ball pit.
Once they arrive at the housing, he'll split from Ango to grab clean clothes and bandages from his own room, before invading Ango's space again. ]
I just realized I might need help cleaning my wounds again.
[It's nonsense chatter that really is pointless, given how there are exactly two girls left alive at this point. Ango will tease Dazai about impressing Rean, though. Don't think he hasn't noticed them talking.
Ango's clean clothing is sadly lacking, though, so he has to grab priest clothes to wear after showering. He'll need to wash his suit and leave it out to dry for now.]
[ help by getting out of his button up top, something he snagged from the opera house. Then he'll pull the bandages off. He only gets to see what's under wraps on his chest. There's old scars, and then the newer bullet wounds that seem to be healing well enough. The process is probably slowed down thanks to the lack of heating here.
There's also the big round bruise in the middle of his chest. There's separate bandages for his neck that Dazai isn't going to remove. ]
Are you going to tell me about your thoughts on the motive?
[That's fine. Ango assumes that any bandages Dazai doesn't take off are covering old scars and not anything he needs to worry about right now. He's going to be inspecting the bruise first, though he does pause when he hears Dazai ask that question.]
I'm not going to act on it, if that's what you're worried about.
She wouldn't. Even if she did, she would kill the Ango there to let you replace him. [ A pause. ] The me in that world would probably not be the me that you actually want either.
[ The older Dazai who is taking care of someone like a cat. The one that didn't have a wide hole of darkness inside of himself that makes it hard to feel alive. ]
[Ango falls silent there, unable to think of anything to say. The guilt, it's building up and slowly eating away at him.
He still doesn't ask about the bruise, and it looks like it's superficial anyway so it's alright. Next he moves on to the bullet wounds. No sign of infection, right?]
And there's no sign of infection. He hasn't been in the fishy water long thankfully. ]
You were acting strange when we first met up here. We aren't close in the future and you keep wearing this expression, Ango. The mistake you've made... it ended this, didn't it?
[He's focusing on cleaning Dazai's wounds and making sure they are ready to be rebandaged. He most definitely can't look Dazai in the face right now, so this will have to do.]
It hasn't happened yet in your time, so it's nothing for you to worry about.
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.

This isn't sweet at all! Dazai-kun!
no subject
Date: 2020-01-15 03:25 am (UTC)Even his bandages- or the tablecloths ripped up and turned into bandages, are wet. ]
I'm giving you a hug. What isn't sweet about that?
[He reaches up with one fish smelling hand to move it closer to Ango's face. Time to poke his cheek. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-15 03:30 am (UTC)[He's trying to free a hand so he can shove at Dazai's face now. Ango is physically weak but he will escape, maybe.
He is still totally getting poked in the face tho, and that fish smell everywhere is overpowering.]
Did you go swimming in the aquarium or something?!
no subject
Date: 2020-01-15 03:36 am (UTC)Looks like we should head back to the clergy house to get cleaned.
[ Maybe that was his aim, or he just wanted to harass Ango. ]
Yeah, I did. I wanted to see if anyone could get inside.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-15 04:17 am (UTC)It's not even a bath there, it's just showers.
[And Dazai could have just asked >T But now Ango is free, and he is sniffing at himself before grimacing.]
I would ask 'why', but I'm sure you had some convoluted plan.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-15 04:34 am (UTC)I wanted to see how someone reacted.
[ He'll let him know that much at least. Heading out of the museum. ]
You could always wait until we find a bath in a week or two.
[ Does he want to smell of fish that long? ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-15 04:53 am (UTC)[If Dazai wants to bug him though then he better keep up. Ango is going back to the rooms so he can get cleaned up.]

Of course. Any new ones to consider?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-16 02:36 am (UTC)No new cuts.
[ He has a ball sized bruise on his chest, but he's only shown Ango the bullet wounds before.
Once they make it to the bathroom, he's locking the door. Can't have anyone seeing what the mummy looks unwrapped. ]
Going to inspect me closely to see?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-16 02:59 am (UTC)[But yes, he's going to inspect Dazai's wounds if Dazai lets him. Gotta take care of his friend and make sure there's no infections or anything.]

[ There was the expression Ango was wearing earlier after the Lady said her piece. ]
Maybe to fix whatever mistake you've made in your past.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-16 03:23 am (UTC)[He should have expected this eventually. Dazai is too smart.]
I don't trust her to make good on that offer.

It's still disappointing to be right about it. ]
I'm still missing a big piece, but I think I can guess the rest of it. Do you want to hear what I have so far?
