I won't deny that.

[ Since you know... who else makes that face while covered in blood and telling someone they are a witness. ]

The boss didn't see any other choice. Just as I don't have a choice, but to keep it a secret.

[ Mafia life ]

[kazokun]

[ The boss is insane, hello. It's the mafia life, but he doesn't have to stay in that life. ]

Because he'll kill you if you let anything leak? Then don't. But don't stay there either. Get away from there, don't go back.

[shortfornow]

He wouldn't need to kill me. The others in the group would probably torture me if they found out the truth. I don't like pain.

[ It's not a good group, especially at this time. ]

You say that like I have a choice. I don't have any other life, besides it just started to get interesting there.

[kazokun]

Do things being interesting matter more to you than your life?

[ Dazai!!!! He scowls, running a hand through his hair in frustration. ]

Sataima isn't far from Yokohama— it's very easy to get into my school, and you can live in the dorms and not worry about food and a place to live.

[shortfornow]

[ Does he really want an answer to that.

His eyes are going to widen though at that. ]

You do realize it'll mean spending more time with me, right?

[ That should be a deterrent for Ayabe. ]

[kazokun]

[ He want an answer but only if the answer is no. If the answer is yes, please continue to keep it to yourself.

But also

yeah, that does make him pause, because making Dazai a kouhai means subjecting himself to more Dazai and it'll be his own fault. Ugh!! Still, ]

Yeah. I'd rather be forced to put up with you and watch over you if that means you won't be sent back to that place.

[shortfornow]

[ pfft. He'll look at him for a moment or two before the corner of his mouth lifts up. Where was he a year ago? ]

You don't have to worry about me or the situation. [ He knows that might not be enough for Ayabe since... Ayabe's obsession to Mom everyone. So, thinking fast, he'll add on: ] I'll have Chuuya at my side.

[ There we go. Does that help? ]

[kazokun]

[ He was busy dying while momming five kids a year ago but now that they're not here, he has to collect more. ]

I'm not letting Chuuya go back to that same situation either, are you stupid?

[ HE'S GOING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT BOTH OF THEM this doesn't help ]

[shortfornow]

That's not up to you.

[ It's up to Chuuya. ]

If you're going to worry, we could exchange numbers to check up on us.

[kazokun]

[ The normal person method of checking up on people: texting them and seeing if they're okay, not bodily dragging them home so they're forced to remain in close proximity. ]

...Fine. Write down your number and give it to me.

[shortfornow]

[ Pulling out his phone from his pocket. Unlocking it and opening up the contacts before handing it over. ]

Just put it in.

[kazokun]

[ He keeps making bad decisions, like giving away his personal contact information without getting anything in return, but what choice does he have when he doesn't have his phone here? Very little, so he puts his full name in and the phone number before handing it back. ]

So Blue took this thing hostage and had to give it back to you, huh? Did the battery drain at all since it was taken? It should be dead.

[ Imagine Blue mugging somebody, and then courtesy charging their phone... ]

[shortfornow]

I got it back when I guessed the last case right.

[ He's at 2/3 for rights so far \o/

And it looks charged so maybe he did that. Kept everyone's phones charged. ]

[kazokun]

[ Looks like Blue is gracious sometimes ]

Save the battery. On Thursday, near midnight, take a video of what's going on while we're asleep. How long can you take one for?

[shortfornow]

Curious if we'll see if something happens?

[ Thinking about it for a moment. ]

Are you going to be staying with that group again?

[ Does he have to wonder if his roommate is yeeting his brain cells again ]

[kazokun]

Obviously I'm curious. I don't know where I'm staying or with who, though. I was thinking the hallway again, though— people have to pass through it, and they've been sloppy enough as to leave things behind.

[ "Sloppy" is putting it mildly. EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS A MESS. ]

[shortfornow]

[ Why. ]

You realize this house probably keeps people in a different space from the murders using some kind of ability, right? [ Another pause. ] And if it didn't, you run the risk of being covered in blood or anything else from the possible crime.

[kazokun]

...If it's just blood, I can handle it. Why, do you think it's better to just stay in our rooms and out of the way? No matter where they stay, people have been getting hurt.

[ There is no safe space, people are going to get messy no matter where they are ]

[shortfornow]

I don't think anyone has been killed or hurt in their own rooms. Nia was moved there afterwards.

[ And the others were killed in other locations. Dead smell just happens for some reason in rooms. ]

[kazokun]

Why did the rooms smell like they were rotting then?

[ He doesn't want that to happen either...... it already smells like weed, they don't need corpse smell on top of that ]

[shortfornow]

I think it's just a house effect. To let people know someone from that room died. It's pretty gross, even for me.

[ He showered after that smell from Mammon's room after all. ]

Mammon was killed by the Chandelier in the ballroom. I got my phone after guessing that right.

[kazokun]

We're given an announcement saying exactly who the victims are, we don't need that sort of effect.

[ It's gross. House, stop. ]

It's such a stupid "game," deducing how people die. People have been getting different things- they should be stored somewhere in the house, right?

[ He has nothing left to regain anyways so at least he has no pressure on getting bonus votes right ]

[shortfornow]

[ He only has his coat left, but that has him thinking. ]

Each week, there seems to be a new floor added to this place. They might be kept in a room we can't gain access to until closer to the end.

[ The barriers are rude for keeping them from exploring it all in one go. He's going to walk over to plop down on the edge of the bed. He's still missing a shirt so he's just bandages bandages bandages. ]

It sounds like he gets amusement from it.

[kazokun]

It's stupid. Even more so that we have no choice but to play his game.

[ Squints at those bandages tbh ]

Do you need help with those? You won't be able to see in the mirror.

[shortfornow]

You just want an excuse to see what's under them.

[ That's lewd, Ayabe. ]
