young lady, i was thinking about you! it's dazai osamu. you're settling in okay?
Miss Kotone
I do hope that these flowers will find you well. I am well aware that I have gifted you an ice flower, but I thought that having real flowers would make your living quarters much more comfortable. If not, I apologize for being presumptuous.
None the less, I have taken some time and special care to bloom these flowers. I hope that you will enjoy them.

[He leaves a voicemail, because it's a bizarre fucking hour, except the voicemail starts off with an aborted yelp and the sound of his charm clattering onto the floor (his is like a keychain). His voice gets closer and there is a slight whoosh of sound as he picks it back up, and then flops to sit with it.]
I totally stood you up on dinner on complete accident, I fell asleep in Akechi's room.

I'm sorry that I scared you, Koto-chan. We should talk, but it's okay if you won't see me.
[As soon as Akechi sees himself out, Chuuya doesn't hesitate--
He reaches over to Kotone, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a tight hug. There's a tension in his shoulders that slowly relaxes around her, a thread of relief in his voice that's only for Kotone's ears. He wasn't going to make Dazai's mistake and show his hand around the kid with a deathwish, but...]
Thank fuck you were here.
[His voice is rough. Chuuya knows. He knows, with that disturbing awareness he and Dazai have, that if Dazai had tortured Akechi over information about Oda, breaking his promise to the very same man, it would have destroyed him.
As much as his feelings about Dazai leaving, about Oda and everything were complicated.... he knew that promise was probably Dazai's lifeline.]

Hi Shiomi. It's Izuku.
I know you might not want to hear from me, and I understand. I just...I'd really like to talk. If you're okay with that.

[He fell asleep early because he was tired, but he didn't sleep well. It was weird, because he was exhausted from oversocialization, and conked out still clothed on top of his sleeping bag until Ken poked him awake and he eventually actually went to bed, but...]
[Well, when he actually went to bed he had a weird niggling sense of wrong he couldn't quite place, and it soured his stomach through the night.]
[So he woke up feeling, quite plainly, awful. He actually curled up and stayed in his sleeping bag far later than he would have, normally, especially given how early he turned in, but somehow he felt worse in doing so. So after about half an hour of trying to decide if he needed to punch something, cry, or throw up, he decided on none of the above and folded up his sleeping bag neatly where he'd found it, skulking through the shadows of the tent to find Kotone.]
[He couldn't be entirely sure if she'd get it, but she got a lot more things about him than just about anyone else did. Just Wildcard Things. When he finds her still in her own sleeping space, he stands there a moment before he throws caution to the wind. Setting on his knees, only now in pajamas because he slept in his jeans (ow), he wiggles his way into her sleeping bag alongside her, pressing himself into her back.]
I am hereby inviting myself to this prolonged depression nap, because the vibes this morning are atrocious for no reason.

[So, they didn't find Shinji and everything and he's pretty sure he's gone, but he doesn't want to start with that because that's stupid. Maybe he'll ask eventually but uhh he's pretty worried about Kotone and might as well ask how she's doing!! Plus he wants to get his mind off some things.]
Hey, how are you? Busy at all?

[ With how the whole desert escapade went down, Ragna is more than ready to go back and embrace the mostly boring routine of being stuck in this world without any ghosts involved, thank you very much. He could really use some time to wind down, but he's not exactly sure what to do with himself, and just hanging out in the outskirts of the town is leaving him kind of restless.
That's when he remembers the conversation he's had over the network about the whole "cooking club" thing. He's not exactly thrilled about the idea of hanging out somewhere where other people are (ugh), but he figures doing something he actually enjoys might be just the thing he needs right now. If there is anyone in there, well, he'll just need to suck it up.
Once Ragna arrives at the club building's kitchen, he notices there's no one else here, much to his relief. He starts unpacking the ingredients he's brought on the counter and preparing the utensils needed.
This really is shaping up to be a great afternoon. ]
