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.

[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.

[flamingprick]

[...okay yeah he has a point there. Not that Rin will admit that, but.

He does relax at that, too. The anger is already draining right out of him.]

You stopped me, didn't you? So it's only fair that I stop you in return.

[cw_suicide]

[. . . well.

this drunk asshole is letting his head thunk back against the floor and looking up at the ceiling with the HEAVIEST SIGH because.

well, yeah. that's fair. he guesses. doesn't seem too happy about it, though.]

[flamingprick]

[Rin snickers at that response.]

So that's why you are the way you are, huh? You've been left alone too?

[cw_suicide]

[uuuugh. noooo. he is nowhere near drunk enough to talk about that legitimately.]

Does no one here read the profiles? Honestly.

[look, he actually knows what it's like to have dead friends. you all suck.]

[flamingprick]

[But that requires reading

Actually, Rin will just sit up and whip out his tablet so he can actually look at Dazai's profile. Insta-cheat-sheet!]

That's what you're afraid of? Well then, all you gotta do is stick with me, and that won't be a problem.

[cw_suicide]

[UGH. WORST.

let him die, Rin. be kind. 8(]

[flamingprick]

[Don't give him that face!]

C'mon! I'm a half-demon, remember? I'll outlive you by at least a few centuries, so you won't ever be lonely. And if you hang out with me you'll get to help save the world, so it's definitely not meaningless.

[cw_suicide]

[not. drunk. enough.]

That's way too far ahead.

And I need something harder hitting than wine.

[flamingprick]

Let's go save those two idiots first before you get drunk.

[He stands up, but then he stops suddenly.

And he looks in the direction of the raccoons.

Did they just watch that whole thing?]

[pandatrash]

[Tycoon is picking his nose]

[flamingprick]

[...well okay, that could have been worse.]
