WEEK 1: April 2nd - April 6th

[cartesio]

Peace Week

Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!

If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.

It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!

This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

See? See?! I think so too.

[There is something almost desperate about the way he forces that cheerful tone over the top. It’s almost too good to hear that from Oda.

Part way through that first drink he knew he’d have regrets. Everything after was just him accepting this bad decision with open arms.]

[odasaku]

[ oda can hear it. the desperation in dazai’s voice to cling to this reality, even if it might—no, definitely— hurt the both of them in the future. he feels like he should pull away, instead of continue to let this mistake continue but...

it’s impossible. oda knows that he’s not strong enough to leave dazai.

he downs his second drink, and immediately goes for the third. the buzz is pleasant, and calms his inner turmoil. ]

You... I meant it. I’m proud of you, Dazai. I really mean it.

CW: hints of suicidal thinking

[pursuitofdeath]

[Oda always knew things about him that others didn’t— things that sometimes Dazai couldn’t even see himself. It’s something he’s accepted... welcomed even at times. While during others, it’s been a knife to the heart.

He takes another drink down with one gulp to prepare him for what comes next. It leaves him feeling the burn and the sting; but it makes the words easier to get out, while simultaneously stirring up the complicated feelings in his gut.]

Mmm. It wasn’t easy. Years of waiting... and somehow I survived to see it— the day when I finally kept my promise.

[There was something for him to be truly happy to live for at one time... huh.]

[odasaku]

[ the words reach oda with a darker undertone, and he’s still able to understand it despite the alcohol muddling his brain. it brings forth a question in his chest— one that he’s not too sure if he should ask in the first place.

but... if he doesn’t do it now... then when? ]

What will you do if you get out of here alive?

[pursuitofdeath]

Ahhh— well I suppose it’s a possibility.

[It’s more than a possibility but— well it doesn’t require a lot of thought, surprisingly.]

I’ll return to the Armed Detective Agency. I’m sure Kunikida-kun is yelling about how I’ve messed up his plans again. Though I doubt they’ll come looking for me. Atsushi-kun might ask but—

[There is this smile that just barely shows. It’s small, when he’s not talking or joking— but it’s real, even with it’s hints of sadness lingering... there’s a small happiness buried in that darkness.]

....

[Even now he hesitates to add this inquiry. But—]

And...? What will you do?
