Day 11

[pandatreasure]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!

[Ah yes, there's the beautiful sound of Raquelle's voice ringing out over the loudspeakers to wake everyone the fuck up this fine and lovely morning. Don'tcha just love that raccoon screeching.]

I get it, I get it, you're all fat and happy after the holidays. Well, no more of that, that's for sure! You can trust us on that, you sure can, nyehehehehe! 'til then...Oooh, maybe we will have some corpses to mess with if you guys don't hurry your butts up.

Nyehehehehe!

[Aaaand with that, she's gone. What the hell is she talking about? Maybe take some time to check out all the cool new areas that have been found overnight and find out...]


((Content Warning: Investigation portions of this post are going to contain eye trauma/horror. The tag in which it actually appears will be marked in the subject, but please be aware of this before choosing to participate in the investigation!

For this investigation! because there's very little to find, there are going to be two toplevels for the locations containing stuff. Please give precedence to people who didn't find anything last time! Once the appropriate discoveries have been made, feel free to involve others in each thread.

I need you to leave me alone so I can finish my snack, but we can't all get what we need, can we?

[flamingprick]

C'mon! Akira and Ichigo are hurt, and I know I can heal people with that fire!

[Well. Burn away infections and cauterize wounds, more accurately, but he's in a panic right now and just thinking 'I healed people with the fire before, I can do it again'.]

Give me back my fire, and I'll leave you guys alone!

[pandatreasure]

You can heal people with band-aids and q-tips and stuff, too, you aren't special.

[dismissively waves a paw!]

Figure it out.

[flamingprick]

Band-aids and q-tips aren't going to fix what's wrong with them!

[pandatreasure]

Not with that attitude!

1/2

[flamingprick]

[Give him a moment to rage over here, he's fine really.]

2/2

[flamingprick]

FINE! You two like deals, don't you? What'll it take to get my flames back?

[pandatreasure]

Weeeeellllllll... Wanna do something about how we don't have any corpses today? Nyehehehe!

[flamingprick]

[He opens his mouth like he's going to shout 'no', because of course he won't kill someone else! But he stops and actually considers it for a moment. There are ways he could get around that. Ways that might be worth it, if it saves Akira and Ichigo.

So he's quiet for a moment, as he considers this.]

[cw_suicide]

[not only is there a hand grabbing at the back of you collar, jerking you roughly back, but he even uses a foot to KICK YOUR FEET OUT FROM UNDER YOU, aiming to throw you on the fucking ground, you damned fool.]

What a stupid day this is.

[flamingprick]

[WOW HI DAZAI

Yeah Rin is flat on his back, staring up at Dazai in surprise.]

When did you- This is private!

[pandatreasure]

[chanting:] Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!

[cw_suicide]

[SHOOTING THE RODENTS A FLAT STARE before focusing on the idiot teenager.]

You're very conspicuous for a private talk.

And just who are you to go about deciding something like this on your own? You are aware of their rules, of course? Who's to say they aren't putting you in a position to be killed yourself? Do you really think that's what either Akira-kun or Ichigo-kun would ask of you?

[for a drunk person he sure gives away just how pissed he is by how his tone just has no inflection whatsoever.]

[flamingprick]

[Well, that was actually one of Rin's thoughts initially, that the worst they could do was punish him afterwards. But he's not going to admit to that now that he's being called out on it. No, instead he's going to move to sit up, and then eventually stand up, as he's talking. Unless his progress is interrupted, of course.]

I wasn't going to do anything like killing someone anyway! But I gotta try something, if it'll help Akira and Ichigo then I'll try reasoning with these two.

[cw_suicide]

[NOPE. YOU ARE GETTING A FOOT STOMPED ON YOUR CHEST, YOUNG MAN. DETERMINED TO MAKE IT HURT A BIT.]

This is exactly the kind of foolish idiocy that will get you killed.

They're asking you to either kill someone yourself or be killed yourself.

Think really carefully if that's what you really want, Rin-kun. And then think really carefully about how either of those two will react if I turn around and tell them what stupidity you got up to while they're laid out.

[flamingprick]

[OW FUCK THAT HURTS

Rin is gritting his teeth as he grabs the leg on his chest with both of his hands, attempting to move it off of him.]

They won't be saying anything if they die, you know!

[cw_suicide]

Are you a fortune teller as well? Tell me the future, then, oh mysterious soothsayer! I'd like to know how to goes for me, instead!

[flamingprick]

'A punch to the dick' is in your future if you don't get off of me!

[He might be able to reach that far. Maybe.]

[cw_suicide]

You know, there are way better options out there for people who can die than some kid who can't handle his friends dying...?

[i mean. prime example. OBVIOUSLY.]

[flamingprick]

If it weren't what those two assholes over there wanted to see, then I'd dare you to try anything.

[He's actually tempted to duke it out, but not in front of the raccoons.]

[cw_suicide]

No, see. You're missing the point.

What if I take up your part of the bargain, Rin-kun? I take their condition and you get the prize? That'd work out pretty well, wouldn't it?

[you see how this sounds? how it looks? DO YOU? but also please just let him????]

[flamingprick]

[Okay, now that he gets what Dazai is saying, he's going to yank on that leg sharply to either move it or knock Dazai down too. Or that's what he's trying to do at least.]

No! That's not going to happen, nobody's dying here, especially not you!

[cw_suicide]

[lets his leg be moved--and falls right on top of Rin.

hella disappointed, really.]

Ahhhh... Rin-kun's being so selfish right now!

[flamingprick]

[He's squished now oof

But he's really annoyed at that sudden change in Dazai's demeanor, and he's starting to think that all Dazai wanted out of it was to die. Which means he's going to grab Dazai's shoulders and try to flip things around a bit so he can have Dazai on the ground being yelled at.]

Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to make friends? Do you?! I'm half-demon, Dazai! A literal, living half-demon! And I've got the hair-trigger temper to go with it!

Nobody wants anything to do with me! Ever! Either I scare them off with my temper, or they run away as soon as they figure out what I am! And that's not including the ones who try to kill me for it instead! Do you have any idea how lonely that is? To not have a single person you can rely on? To not have anyone to share happy memories with?

[Well...he does have a few people, now. He's managed to make six whole friends! Seven if you count his brother. But he's trying to make a point here, so.]

So when two of the very few people who actually gave me half-a-chance are dying, and a third is trying to die by my hands, then hell yes I'm going to be selfish!

[cw_suicide]

[doesn't fight the manhandling.

or argue against the yelling, just waiting until he's finished.]

I do know, actually.

Not for the same reasons, of course. I'm not a literal demon.

But it's not like I could really change how people viewed things.

[he heard enough of the whispers while in the mafia to know how people saw him, how he presented himself. after all, he mastered the art of entrapment and carving out people's hearts thanks to that sort of hyper attention to what others around him thought of him...]

That doesn't excuse you entertaining this devil's bargain and yet deny me doing the same.
