DAZAI CATCH ALL

Week 1

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Saturday, after the announcements

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Hey Dazai, guess what, you're getting yet another visitor to your office!]

Can I please speak with you now?

[guileturncoat]

[Saki will find Dazai laying on one of his couches with his arm over his face.

He gives a big of a half-wave to Saki when she enters. Sure, come in, he'll listen.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Shutting the door, thanks. And then:]

If you read my file, you should know about my restrictions.

[Namely death feedback.]

[guileturncoat]

I'm aware of your restrictions, yes. They won't be a problem here.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

It's always a problem when there's a chance I could harm or kill another human being.

[guileturncoat]

Not with me around.

[Power nullifier, remember?]

Sunday, 6AM

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Sorry, did you think she was going to wait until like, a reasonable hour, on Monday?

Wrong.

Dazai's going to get a harsh knocking on his door at 6AM. It's going to continue for a while even if he doesn't open it, because she's assuming he's asleep.

Is he going to open up or do we have to stretch out the agony?]

[guileturncoat]

[There is no answer. The bandage boy is asleep.

Does she want to try breaking in?]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Nah, she'll just wander away after knocking for a solid minute.

...And then return half an hour later to repeat the process.]

[guileturncoat]

[The door is booby-trapped now. When she knocks on it, a hidden squirt gun will squirt at her.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[He's rewarded with a short scream of surprise. Dazai, why are you like this!?

(Why are you like this, Saki.)]

...I hope you're happy! You just ruined your breakfast.

[guileturncoat]

[Next time come at a reasonable hour. Like after 11 am.

Saki does get somewhat of a reward for her efforts, though. She wouldn't have noticed it before, but there are some prints on the doorknob. Prints that look like flippers opened the door at some point in the last hour.]

Tuesday Afternoon

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Knock knock. There's no food today, but is she going to be victim to a squirtgun again?]

[guileturncoat]

[No squirt guns! And actually, Dazai is going to have a laptop out on his desk when Saki arrives, though it is currently closed. ]

Saki-san? You want to see me again so soon?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

For as long as you'll have me.

[Let's see how long she lasts without getting kicked out! She closes the door behind her by hand, tucking both hands behind her for now. She doesn't seem to be hiding anything in them, she's just gripping her own arm behind her back.]

I heard that the things I've said to you might be similar to a different conversation you know about.

[But not one he's necessarily had.]

[guileturncoat]

[She says she doesn't want to get kicked out, and yet. ]

Oh? Who told you that?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[And yet.]

You don't have any guesses?

[guileturncoat]

If I had to guess, it would be inaba-san. She watches anime and is dating another version of Atsushi-kun.

Saturday, Post-Game

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Her head hurts.

Still, she ignores it for the most part, still having the sense of mind to ask the House for aloe vera and chopping off the edges to more easily access the gel stored inside.

Knock knock.]

[guileturncoat]

So the chef is here to play nursemaid, hmm?

[Given the shitty job of bandaging his own hand, which is visible the moment Saki opens the door, it might be clear that Dazai needs that little bit of help.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

...It's the least I could do.

[She shuts the door behind her by hand, walking over.]

You've already been punished for being so kind to us.

[Alright, let's see what the damage is.]

[guileturncoat]

[Minor burns! He's cleaned the burns already, and now there's patches of red and irritated skin on his ear and the palm of his hand.]

No, the least you could do is nothing. Don't downplay your kindness, Saki-san.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She just fixes him with a sad look, holding out a hand for his.]

Before I came here, I was able to keep my head down. I followed orders, even when that meant people died.

[And she hated every moment of it. In some ways, it was no better than the Board of Education, or any of the adults who simply watched as children were taken away to be eliminated.

They were all complicit.]

But right now, I don't think I can afford to do that anymore.

[guileturncoat]

Because you're changing, aren't you?

[He can undertand that, he's changed a lot since he joined the Foundation as well. If only he could tell her about all of that.]

What are you going to do?
