WHAT in person
WHERE all over
WHEN 32nd day
NOTES it's a deage post

[it's a beautiful day!

by someone's standards!

which is to say, the entire town is darkly overcast and gloomy, and starting in the morning, there are scattered showers intermittently around the town. it's light enough that it isn't bothersome, barely noticeable, really, but you may find yourself feeling a bit different after you've past through one. like it's taken a few years off your life— quite literally.

or maybe it doesn't effect you at all! and you just want to go for a walk in the rain. you do you.]

[coming back in with his water a moment later]

Can you get up by yourself?

[just hums a bit in a thoughtful manner before holding out his hand in a clear Help Me Up manner.]

[putting one arm under both of his to tug him up, before handing him the water]

[hopping to his feet with the assist and taking the glass. it seems all smooth and whatnot until he brings it up to drink and almost misses his mouth entirely.]

Oop.

[ok properly drinking it after that small spill there]

Don't spill on the books.

I won't.

[which way is bedroom? tries to mosey over in that direction on his own.]

[i mean its not a Huge apartment so there's a 1 in 3 chance of him getting it right

but oda's still gonna follow after him anyway to be sure]

[NAILED IT. gets to the master bedroom with little incident and putting glass down on the night table before flopping into the bed.

... he still has his shoes on.]

[why is his life this way

s-sighs, following him in to remove those without saying anything because really, what is there to say]

[why is it tho.

just lets him do that before rolling over to he can peer squintingly up at Odasaku with his unbandaged eye, clearly ready to just drop off to sleep from drunkeness.]

You staying up?

[setting them at the foot of the bed neatly where dazai can find the easily later]

Not for much longer, why?

Just wondering.

[he knows it's a bad idea to just sleep at someone's place but also it's Odasaku so why give a fuck about that?]

Right. I'm closing the door.

[and going over to crash on the couch so he can hear if Dazai gets up first]

[that just gets a quiet huff from him but fiiiine. you can have your couch. just drifting off to sleep, then.

... it's cute that you think you can catch him leaving. lololol. sure is not gonna be there when you wake up.]

[look it was worth a shot

oda's gonna be searching the apartment for any trace he might've left before leaving to search for him, the second he wakes up]

[nah, nope. no one there.

looks like he picked the lock to get out. lol.

also, it was probably some time ago? because there's a cute little monster blob doodle drawn on a bookmark somewhere.

--oh, hey. ur phone's ringing.]

[you need a childleash

he was probably just about to head out into the creepy elevator before his phone rings and welp, the list of people here who have is number is not very long.]

Hello?

[sure was Dazai's phone number calling.

and there's a pause before the younger Dazai's voice comes through, sounding... well. dull in tone. flat. kind of drunk.]

... are you still at your place?

[oh

this bodes well

for his part, oda keeps his voice entirely neutral when he responds.]

Yeah. I just woke up.

That's a long nap. Sounds like you needed the rest.

[so conversational, but it's probably obvious that he's moving toward the apartments again from wherever he is.]

[sitting back down on the couch in that case.]

I must've had more to drink than I realized.

That could do it.

... I was going to say later that you didn't have to lock the door, but I think I have an idea as to why you did.

[so yeah, he has no idea how to deal with this shit he's learned.]

... I didn't want to hide things from you, Dazai, but I thought it would be easier that way.

I know. Someone else here told me some of these things, but I didn't believe them until I ran into Mori-san.

[GREAT]

What did Mori-san tell you?
