week 7, saturday w/ dazai

[ Varian isn't like, hiding or anything, he is busy doing the most important thing he could possibly be doing at this moment.

having a touching reunion with his raccoon over there. he is not paying attention to dazai to sidestep him now so now's his chance!! ]

[That is a very important thing, and Dazai hates to interrupt - but he comes around in front of Varian first, so he doesn't have a heart attack when he speaks up.]

I'm sorry.
thesettingsun: smile (to your deathbed you're on view so)

[honestly, that's a fair reaction

Dazai nods.]


I'm not asking forgiveness or anything, and you won't see me after we leave this castle, but... I wanted to say it.
thesettingsun: smile (that I won't let you down alright)

...It didn't help.

[Dazai understands revenge intimately - he's the one who threatened to stab Kawabata for not choosing his work for a literary prize. He's prone to overreacting.]

I didn't feel any better, and it didn't make Evan any less dead, and I'd been told about twenty times that you didn't want to be in this position in the first place. I'm still not happy about picking Evan [and he never will be], but... it didn't accomplish anything except upsetting a lot of people.

[Some of them Dazai cares about more than Varian, but... this is still an apology for Varian.]

It was stupid and I'm sorry.
thesettingsun: mad (to fall into your trap)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-07-29 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a blatant lie, but Dazai doesn't call him out on it. What would the use in that be?]

Okay. I will.

...Sorry that you won't get to meet any of the alchemists from my world. I'm sure you could have had some interesting discussions.

[And Dazai doesn't know how any of that stuff works, so he's useless.]
thesettingsun: smile (I'm a good guy)

[that's a mood for like

everyone but dazai

possibly including waver]


Yes, but there still are alchemists in my world. Maybe even a Dazai, though it'll probably take a while for them to summon another one...

[fucking rng]

Only one. If they try to pull a second Dazai he just sort of fizzles out.

[This does not happen very often.]
thesettingsun: smile (man)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-07-29 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's likely, considering that I've been the one to try and pull another Dazai out of a book. It's just that that world can't support two of 'Dazai Osamu' at a time.

I really wish I could explain it better.

[but the alchemist is a self-insert so I couldn't have apped her anyway?]

[damn you science]

Sadly, I can't do any alchemy myself, even if we did have our powers back.

...Anyway. That's all I wanted to say.
