[ It's later into the night when Ayabe gets back to the room, unlocking the door and praying that Ken is—
oh
Reality is the opposite and instead, Dazai is here. ]
...I'm going to get ready for bed.
[ He takes his fancy pajamas from the closet to the bathroom so he can shower and change and brush his teeth and leave Jin Ling alone with Dazai to suffer without him. ]
He follows after Ayabe like a shadow or a dog's tail right up until Ayabe goes into the bathroom... and then he's left standing outside of it, clearly not wanting to go in, but also clearly not wanting to be stuck outside with Dazai.
Dammit.
Alright, fine. He turns around with his chin stuck up and finds a place to sit and wait. Without even looking in Dazai's direction.]
[ Dazai is chilling on the bed, looking pretty energized after a nap. His hair is is even more of a wavy mess, but he doesn't seem bothered (maybe because it'll bother Ayabe). He's just here, reading his book when they come in.
Oh what's this? Ayabe brought him some entertainment?
He can already tell neither of them expected or wanted him there, which makes it even more amusing when Ayabe ditches Jin Ling to shower. Closing his book as he leans forward to look at Jin Ling. ]
Are you here for more kisses? [ He gives it a moment to see if Jin Ling looks for Missile before he let's him know... ] I'm sorry to inform you, but Missile isn't here at the moment. You'll have to settle for something else.
[Even when Dazai acknowledges him with smarmy questions, Jin Ling won't look. He does, however, look when Missile is mentioned. Not exactly because he is expecting kisses or anything, but he had the fleeting hope that Missile would save him from being stuck alone with Dazai.
Alas.
The expression on his face sours considerably, and Dazai gets a disdainful glance.] I'm not here for that! Don't you have a book to read? [He crosses his arms and turns his head away so all Dazai gets is a purple bell and a wad of ponytail.]
Dazai will lift up his book to show him what he's reading. It's the Complete Manual of Suicide. ]
I can read my book out loud if you want. It's pretty interesting. [ There's a pause and then he makes an exaggerate Ah! sound, as if he's realizing something. ]
Oh, did you want some alone time with Reito? I didn't know you were like that, Jin Ling.
[ It's so tempting to just take a half hour shower but. He'll just take his time brushing his teeth and everything and y'all can skip over him until it's good to jump back in. ]
[Since there isn't any immediate response, Jin Ling looks back over like an idiot. His face is irritatedly bewildered when he reads the title, not sure what to make of it. Wow, this guy isn't much better than Mo Xuanyu. Why are all his uncles crazy?!]
No! I did not come here for that either! Keep your wrong assumptions to yourself!
[ He has acquired some weed and reading everything, he's heading to his room to look for Ayabe. He also has Chuuya with him because if he's going to give in and make a stupid choice for once in his life, he might as well drag his... underling with him. It's probably because Chuuya is the only one he actually trusts there.
[ Ayabe's lounging on the bed with a book, sort of frowning at it and is quick to shut it and set it aside as he sits up and watches Dazai and Chuuya enter the room. He's wary... ]
he's gonna wait at the door to see what everyone's next move is before he decides if he wants to join or if this is a party that he's going to sit out on. WHICH HE SHOULD SINCE HE's A CHILD. ]
[ It's Tuesday because maybe we'll be dead on Wednesday after the mini event, idk, if we survive, we can celebrate with weed tea and party games.
Tuesday is for business, though!! The room is clean and spotless because Ayabe lives here and it has to be if they have guests over. They can arrange themselves on the bed and chaise, Missile on Ken's lap because he's Ken's dog, and Ayabe takes the desk chair, turned so it's facing the room.
Chuuya is here, he got dragged in again, though he does plan to go back to his own room later. He can't abandon his roommate.
He's also sitting on the bed, facing the rest of the group. He's waiting to hear from them, since he's sure they have more interesting information than he does.]
[Very pointedly, he is standing and refusing to be a part of the comfortably sitting crowd. Of course. This lets him cross his arms over his chest, too.]
[ Yeah, Ayabe wants to see the journal. In return, he has his own out, not as worn because he's gone through several already— more than one was just filled with conversation due to sensory loss week, but this one's very recent, pages barely filled in. ]
Once we figure out the right questions to ask, we'll be able to press Blue on more. This is what I heard from Beau:
Q: - What is he busy with - Why were we invited - What does he think about the transformations - What do we do to stop it - Why the girls got hired
A: "Happy to have you. House business requires full attention. The girls handle guests much better. Each guest is special. Monsters have provided complications. Apologies. So far so good. Ecstatic for your show of teamwork. Continue as you have been. Will provide assistance when available."

I'm trying to make conversation over here. You are standing in my room after all and it would be rude to ignore a guest.
[ He'll pat the bed. ]
Come over here and sit down for a bit.

From:w2- 911 is that a weed?
Date: 2020-03-08 11:03 pm (UTC)Opening the door to see who's there. ]
Ready to try something different, Reito?
every time jin ling calls it spirit grass i close my eyes
Date: 2020-03-09 01:50 am (UTC)[ Ayabe's lounging on the bed with a book, sort of frowning at it and is quick to shut it and set it aside as he sits up and watches Dazai and Chuuya enter the room. He's wary... ]
911 is that a spirit grass?
Date: 2020-03-09 03:21 am (UTC)[yep, he's making the quotation marks with his hands.]
For the record, it's not my idea.
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 10:30 pm (UTC)...
ken was just about to enter the room and. hm.
he's gonna wait at the door to see what everyone's next move is before he decides if he wants to join or if this is a party that he's going to sit out on. WHICH HE SHOULD SINCE HE's A CHILD. ]

no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 10:41 pm (UTC)It's still a gateway drug...
[ It's not immediately addictive like heroin, but. Maybe he shouldn't be making comparisons to heroin. ]
Have you used it before?
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 10:56 pm (UTC)[He's apprehensive, but also curious. Maybe if the others do it he'll join in?]
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 11:13 pm (UTC)[ A nod towards Chuuya. Drug use isn't allowed in the mafia ]
We probably should open the door first.

From:w3, tuesday night info share
Date: 2020-03-10 05:22 am (UTC)Tuesday is for business, though!! The room is clean and spotless because Ayabe lives here and it has to be if they have guests over. They can arrange themselves on the bed and chaise, Missile on Ken's lap because he's Ken's dog, and Ayabe takes the desk chair, turned so it's facing the room.
No weed. It's a thinky night. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 05:24 am (UTC)Chuuya is here, he got dragged in again, though he does plan to go back to his own room later. He can't abandon his roommate.
He's also sitting on the bed, facing the rest of the group. He's waiting to hear from them, since he's sure they have more interesting information than he does.]
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 05:27 am (UTC)Dazai will be up on the bed. Probably stick close to Chuuya anyways because he's used to it at this point. ]
So, what do we have?
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 12:55 pm (UTC)Have any of you ever spoken to Master Blue?
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 03:31 pm (UTC)I haven't, but Beau's written to him, and Akira's mentioned that Ken's been writing to him too.
[ There's a glance towards Ken to share if he wants, but he also looks back at Jin Ling, because bringing it up means he's done so, right? ]
wails as i stumble into here
Date: 2020-03-10 10:28 pm (UTC)Yeah, if you want to see the letters, I keep them with me in my journal.
[ he'll hold it up in one hand, clearly it has been loved as pages are missing and looks rather worn for, what, a month's use maybe? ]
They're not exactly the most helpful—they do claim to be as busy as Peach and Plum both have told us.
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 10:38 pm (UTC)Once we figure out the right questions to ask, we'll be able to press Blue on more. This is what I heard from Beau:
Q:

[ He thinks we're doing great, guys. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-03-10 10:42 pm (UTC)Monsters have provided complications. Is that Blue's wording?
[ Provided complications. ]
Looks like he also appreciates all of us working together.
