[nullificates]

for legal reasons like my safety we can't use the word date

but i did see many of these gorgeous women! and some men! i'm eclectic!!

[orphne]

[h u h you know what, no, she doesn't want to know actually!!]

You told me not to see men myself! You're kind of a hypocrite, Dazai-san!

[She's joking, mostly.

[nullificates]

yes men are bastards!!!!

women all the way!!!!!!!!!

[orphne]

Thanks, I think!

Alright, so what else do drunk people usually do then?

[She's kind of at a loss as to what to suggest for him, considering she knows he likes a) reading, b) "womanizing, and c) drinking. He seems to have exhausted all of those for the moment!]

[nullificates]

party!! let's party!!! let's dance!! woohoo!!!

[orphne]

All the parties I've been to have been more about food than dancing... are you sure there isn't somebody else you'd rather party with?

[nullificates]

no!!!!! save me from the little angry mafioso and the russians!!!!

[orphne]

Okay, well can you teach me how to dance? I have music! Oh, but I don't have any speakers or anything to plug my MP3 player into...

[nullificates]

why do you think i can dance?

[orphne]

Oh! I just assumed, since you brought it up in the first place. Well, I guess if neither of us know how to dance, that's probably fine! Where can we get some good music...

[nullificates]

i've been trying to learn the violin does that count

[orphne]

Are you any good at it?

[nullificates]

im great at everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cw suicide

[nullificates]

wait no thats a lie

[orphne]

Mmhm.

[Yeah she knows what you're implying there, bud!]

So if I come over, the violin isn't going to sound like someone being cruel to a cat?

[nullificates]

what kind of depressed loser you think i am, drinking at home!!!!

im at the bar!!!!! adding up to chuuya's debt!!!!

[She just pockets her charm with a sigh and leans across to grab her coat. She'd been planning to get ready to crawl into bed, but if Dazai is texting her, it's probably best she go hang out with him, just in case. She doesn't really go to the bar herself, but it's not like it's her first time in a place that serves alcohol so! She just looks around for where Dazai is and walks with confidence to him.]

Hey. Come up with any good party ideas yet?

[If he were sober, he'd definitely be able to see the tired set to her eyes and the slightly less-chipper tone to her voice, but she's still perfectly friendly, her smile still perfectly natural as she slides into a seat beside him.]

[nullificates]

(unfortunately to all involved, mostly himself, alcohol doesn't do miracles. his brain still works at great speed, all training, albeit dulled, still in place. ah, she's going to fall asleep on the bar. same, he's done that before, truly looking after him.

but, no, he just lets his face lift from behind his arms on the counter, a sigh, an index finger up, and--)

Ah, no. Not at all!!

[orphne]

Aaaw, that's too bad. I thought we were going to dance!

[She props her chin up in her hands and smiles at him, taking in the sight of one (1) drunk Dazai. Oh boy.]

So, what was the occasion tonight? Just bored?

[nullificates]

(watch him look at his bandaged wrists, as if he had a reason, before he shrugs and hides again. ah, warm, ah, nice...)

... Monday!

[orphne]

I guess that's a good reason!

[There are worse reasons, anyway. She looks to his bandaged wrists, then back to him, then reaches to see if she can steal his glass. What are you drinking and how bad does it smell, Dazai?]

Hey, guess what, though? I've finally got that old building renovated so I can use it for clubs. You'll come by sometimes, right?

[nullificates]

(whiskey, it's whiskey, and he might as well growl at her taking his glass, but ah, whatever.)

Bartender!! Give me a cup of your finest detergent!!!

(not that he does, he's already caught on on dazai's antics, he's here too often.)

Clubs, like school? I'd think the last thing you'd want is to have school! Isn't that what school-going-kids think?

[orphne]

[She wrinkles her nose and puts the glass back down without drinking from it. It smells really strong and not that great, honestly.]

You can have clubs without having school, duh. [She grins at him and shakes her head. Silly Dazai.] Clubs are just like, groups of people with similar interests. Aragaki-senpai is going to do a cooking club. I'm gonna do sewing club. Oh, would you join a magic club? I'm trying to win a bet, kind of.

[It's not an official bet, but she did say she'd try to find people for Seimei's club, so. Just checking!]

[nullificates]

(if being drunk stopped him from doing anything, he'd be fucked right now. it absolutely does not, and while she speaks of bets, he nods, fingers light as a feather emptying her pockets, most likely without her noticing. not even chuuya can tell when dazai picks his own, after all, and he giggles, showing her charm.)

Like this? Abracadabra!!

[orphne]

[She gasps and reaches into her pocket, gaping at him.]

Hey!!

[...]

Can you teach me how to do that?
