Dazai's quarters can be found in the studio building. It's one of the doors off of the main hallway, not far from the stage itself. The door itself is labeled with his name. Most of the time it is unlocked, but he does lock it at night or when he's with someone else.

There is an open parlor area, with a couple couches and a low table. Off to one side of the room is a taller table with some booze bottles on it, all still mostly-full. On another wall is a door, which presumably goes to another part of his quarters, maybe his bedroom? And there is also a table and desk chair to one side, which appears to be a working space. All of the walls are lined with bookshelves, which are full of countless books.

Feel free to knock, or walk right in if the door is open.

They didn't electrocute me this time, so I'm guessing so.

[He sees the tension in Leo's body, so he won't be nearly as flippant about their deaths as he has been.]

[His fists clench at his sides, but it doesn't seem like he wants to hit Dazai.]

They're not gonna stop until we're all dead, are they? Do you realize how many of us could've died today if our luck was worse than it already is?

From:

guileturncoat

A lot more could have died, sure. But luck and teamwork worked out for us today. Moreso the teamwork, which is the important part.

From:

eldritcheyes

Luck? Teamwork?

[Leo shakes his head fiercely, his voice cracking.]

It's my fault George is dead! I picked the letter we disabled, and we ended up on the killing floor with that stupid wheel!

From:

guileturncoat

And who picked the game? Who picked the questions? Who made the situation that made that choice happen in the first place?

If there's anyone you should be mad at, it's me. Because I'm the one who killed George.

From:

eldritcheyes

No, the fucking higher-ups started this shit! You're a 6350, aren't you? They'll kill you just like they'll kill us if you don't do what they want. They proved that when they blew up your phone.

[His head bows, his voice going quiet again.]

... I know more people are gonna die. I was an idiot to think we'd all get out of here alive. So I gotta ask you a favor.

[He takes a deep breath.]

Silver's my best friend. I know he's on a different team, but... if something happens that puts his life in danger, I'll take it instead of him. He's already died once, I can't make him go through it again.

From:

guileturncoat

...

[He says the next part quietly.]

I'm not a 6350.

[He. Might as well clear that up right now.]

From:

eldritcheyes

[He suspected it, with all the talk about this one being a fake. But he can't let on that he heard any of that. So he just scowls deeply.]

Bullshit. Atsushi and Oda are, and they know some version of you from their world.

From:

guileturncoat

...

[Alright, he'll move on to the second half then.]

I'll keep that in mind. I can fudge some details a bit, and you can take a risky moment in a game instead of Silver.

From:

eldritcheyes

....

[Leo sighs and relaxes his fists, his tense scowl easing a bit.]

Okay. Thanks, man. Look, I'm sorry I came in here all pissed off, but today was really bad. And you and I both know if certain people die, it's gonna set off a powder keg, and that'll bring pretty much everybody else down. But it's what they want, isn't it? They want their stupid proof that we're just things that need to be put down.

[He shifts his weight from foot to foot, restless. How much can he ask?]

So what do you get out of all this?

From:

guileturncoat

You're right, that's what they want. They want to prove that you will snap under the right circumstances. That you're all dangerous animals that need to be culled.

But you're going to prove them wrong, I know it.
