AFTER-ICE-CREAM-PARTY

[pecker]

[Boy everyone is so bloodthirsty tonight. And now a kid is dead and another is gonna execute. Do y'all need some baskin robbins, because it seems like you do!!! So before everyone can leave, Niwatori raises her voice louder than it's gone before now to draw a little attention, and then deflates immediately when she actually gets it.]

Excuse me, please! U-um... this case was really hard, and I think we could all use some time to cool our heads before we finally go back. So... ice cream? Who's with me?

[she'll lead the pack there and anyone else can go home or to visit Clarisse on the set of Orange is the new Black.

Niwa's not that good of a host though, she just gets her own ice cream and lets everyone serve themselves. Who is she to limit your freedom. (Someone who doesn't want to be partly responsible for a Millium Monstrosity, that's who.)]

[ well, oda seems to take the offer for ice cream. not because he's a fan of it, but because he just needs to take his mind off of...all of this.

so there he is, sitting in one of the farther away seats with his small cup of vanilla ice cream, because he's a boring, boring man ]

[The familiarity of this situation-- Oda's never been in this place before. But he has. And even if he would say to Millium's face that he won't stop her... it doesn't stop it from reopening old wounds. Feelings he didn't expect to revisit so often here.

...he's not here to eat.

Instead, he just sits at the chair next to Oda and after five whole seconds of awkward silence and peace--

He flops over; his body leaning against Oda's side.

...caring about people is exhausting. He doesn't know how people do this all the time.]

Mnh-?

[ well, this is a little sudden...but not unwanted either.

oda sighs, noticing dazai's exhaustion. he'll place his free hand on dazai's head, ruffling it a little in comfort. ]

...even at a time like this, you’re thinking about someone like me.

[But then Odasaku has always been that kind of fool.]

You did really well this week. I didn’t even have to help you.

[Even though everything else is awful, he is proud of Oda’s work.]

I knew I was right to put my trust in you.

[odasaku]

I didn't do anything.

[ it's not like he stopped bakugou's murder. he didn't stop millium from being chosen to execute clarisse either. in oda's head, he hasn't done anything worth this praise. ]

[pursuitofdeath]

Placing your double standards above my experienced opinion... that hurts you know.

[But he doesn’t sound hurt. Maybe he’s just too tired to drag emotions into it.]

...you did as much as any of us were able to. And you put more effort into it than others.

[That being him this time.]

If one is to believe in “justice”— then there is that.

[He’s got no opinion.]
