He's not a dog...

I guess I could invite him out, but I don't know if he'd be interested.

[nullificates]

toooooooooo the contrary, my dear koto-chan. here's a little bit of trivia! on our first job, when we were fifteen, i made a bet with him - and he lost. he's my dog for life! a chuuhuahua!

take him dogsitting for me.

[orphne]

Maybe another time.

I think it's probably best somebody keep an eye on you for a little while.

[Plus, if she's going to hang out with someone, it's going to be because she wanted to, not just because she was told to. That only work for first meetings, not later ones.]

[nullificates]

i'll go hang out with the clown.

[orphne]

The clown?

[nullificates]

you have never seen gogol? white hair, braid, six pack, killing legs - but literally, insane?

[orphne]

[Buddy she is squinting so hard...]

No, I'm pretty sure I'd remember if I had.

You want me to distract Chuuya so you can hang out with someone you're telling me is insane?

[Not to mention the description is so weird she doesn't know what to do with that. Good for them, she guesses??]

[nullificates]

mmmhm, no! i want you to take chuuya for a walk so he has something different to do! if you don't want me to be alone, i can hang out with the clown, he's insane but entertaining!

[orphne]

You're choosing to be really bad at convincing me to do this, aren't you?

[nullificates]

it's entertaining. i'm bored.

[orphne]

[Maybe if she stares silently at her charm long enough, her brain waves will make it through with the steady talk to Chuuya that's just on repeat for the next thirty seconds.]

I could bring you some books from the library

[nullificates]

fine. fine!!!!!!!!

[orphne]

What do you want to read? You already seem like an expert on psychology...

[nullificates]

whatever you can find is good. release me from this prison

[orphne]

Hmmm... okay, I'll take a look!

The others won't mind if I stop by, will they?

[Since for some reason they're all staying together? She likes having her own room to herself, as much as she bothers other people in their space.]

[nullificates]

nikolyea and fyfy are the next room over. i think chuuya liked you.

you're ok.

[orphne]

Hmmm.... okay

Give me a few hours? I want to finish some things up, first. If you take a nap, time will go by faster!

[She's going to bake him something small. Cupcakes are quick and easy, and she can put fruit inside to make it a little bit better for him. Then it's off to the library to peruse the books. She used to be part of the Library Committee back in school, but that had mostly just been shelving and checking stuff out for other students, not reading on her own. She's not a big reader, truthfully. Did she read anything last year that wasn't for school...? She can't remember.

She settles on a selection of different genres. Geography of the world around them, history, fiction, biography -- they'll have to do for a start! So it's with a school bag full of books, cupcakes, and a thermos of tea that she comes knocking on Dazai's door and tenatively trying the handle to see if it's unlocked. She'd rather he not get up to let her in if he doesn't have to!]

It's me!

[nullificates]

Come in!

(chuuya's out doing grocery shopping, working, something, he's sure. much like dazai, the man needs stimulation of some kind, and just being here staring at dazai's face won't cut it, and likewise to the taller man. he couldn't nap in this time, he's not particularly able to do it if there's any resemblance of light in his space - that's why completely enclosed spaces are the best best for a night of relaxation.

he's dressed as he would, vest, shirt, slacks, bandages that are now white and clean. all is good!)

[orphne]

Hey. You look better.

[She drags a chair across the room and sits down near him, opening up her bag to display The Goods. He can pick anything he likes from there.]

There's shredded apple in the cupcakes, so they're kind of good for you.

[That's definitely not true, the amount of sugar in a cupcake renders any health benefits moot, but she takes his hand in hers and just puts one of the cupcakes in it. Eat something, please.]

[nullificates]

Please, I look beautiful!

(dazai, shut up. again, kotone smashes his brain into a error 404 with this type of care, and he slowblinks at the display. was she not super duper mad at him...

he stares at his hand with the cake on it. looks at her. looks at the cupcake.)

... Huh? Is this what you do to people you're mad at?

[orphne]

Eat it, or I will be mad at you.

[She's still mad! But the kind of mad where she just wishes there'd been more that she could have done.

She sighs through her nose and sits back, crossing her feet at the ankles and shaking her head.]

I'm not gonna chew you out or anything now. I did that already.

[nullificates]

Being mad at me is a waste of energy, Koto-chan, I'm very used to the feeling!

(considering he's got an entire mafia pretty mad at him, a chuuya mad at him, so many people mad at him all the time!! it doesn't bother him. eat some fruit.

but he'll eat the cupcake, look, but only because it looks delicious.)

Eh-- you should open a restaurant!

[orphne]

[She huffs a small laugh and shakes her head at him. At least he ate it, so she knows he ate something today. He can have as many as he wants and give the rest to Chuuya, she doesn't mind.]

Thanks, but that's way too much work. How would I be able to come by and bring you snacks if I were running a restaurant?

[No no, part-time work is good enough for her. She'll have to start poking around soon.]

[nullificates]

Mhm... Late at night! I don't sleep very much. You can bring me all the leftovers. I have many mouths to feed!!

(bullshit. out of the four, dazai's the one with the least money, superficially so, and who needs him, they're all grown men. he's just playing.)

[orphne]

You told me they won't eat what you make, so...

[Dazai... why are you the way that you are. Please don't answer that.

She takes his hand and puts another cupcake in it.]

Anyway, I brought you some books. I don't really read a lot myself, so I just got a bunch of different ones. Sorry if they're boring.
