Round 4 PC post with Dazai

[guileturncoat]

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.

The boss is here!

[He's going to jump off the ladder and slide right on over to the desk, reaching right over for those chips.]

[darkremnants]

[ wow. snagging the chips out of reach and just going to open them. ]

Is he now? Maybe he'll share something then.

[guileturncoat]

[Nooo his chips!]

Mouuu! The boss can't share anything if the chip-thief hasn't made demands yet!

[darkremnants]

How can I be a thief if I haven't given them to you yet?

[ hmmm. reaching for a chip. ]

Do you have both of your eyes?

[guileturncoat]

[Nooooo!]

Yes, I do! It's not my eye that got injured, it's the side of my head.

[Grabby grabby, he might be leaning into Vanitas' space to try and get the chips.]

[darkremnants]

[ there's a pause there once he realizes just how close Dazai is. hey vanitas is the space invader here.

he'll offer over the chip. ]

That's a weird way to bandage it. Show me.

[guileturncoat]

[He's not going to take off all of the bandages on his head, that would take forever. But he'll lift up the bandages far enough for Vanitas to see the brown eye underneath them.

And then he's eating the chip.]

[darkremnants]

[ eye eye. if he pulls at a bandage, would it be like the unwrapping the yukata game? he is moving his hand, but only to offer another chip. pls make sure to feed your boss i guess? ]

I know your likes, but you haven't shared your dislikes yet.

[guileturncoat]

[Don't strip him like that gosh!!!]

Dogs, and boring people who are no fun.

[darkremnants]

[ eating a chip himself. he wasn't sure what he was expecting but he wasn't expecting so much crab. ]

Let's say you were tied up. Would your powers still work?

[guileturncoat]

[He sort of just. Glances down at his bandaged arms. Then back up to Vanitas.

Then he's going to leeeeean right in, invading Vanitas' space so he can place his hand over the one holding the chip bag.

If Vanitas doesn't dodge the touch, he'll find his powers turned off. ]

I don't know, you tell me.

[darkremnants]

[ If Dazai blinks he might miss the split second reaction of Vanitas tensing for a moment, as if expecting to be hit. It's gone just as quickly. He can feel the Unversed he had out still vanish completely. No emotion or pain return. It's been null and voided. ]

Never felt that before. Maybe next time we'll try with some rope.

[guileturncoat]

What, now you want to tie me up before touching me? That's dirty.

[He says it with cheek as he lets go of Vanitas' hand.]

[darkremnants]

Maybe I like it dirty.

[ His attention isn't on Dazai. Just on his hand for a moment longer than necessary.

Lifting the bag to offer the whole thing to Dazai. ]

Tell me. How much do you know about everyone here?

[guileturncoat]

[Taking the bag, thank you. Don't think he missed that glance, either.]

If it's in your files, then I know it.

[darkremnants]

[ Going to lean into Dazai's space now. ]

You don't happen to have those files here, do you?

[guileturncoat]

[Oh hi there Vanitas! Feel free to be in his space, Dazai is just smiling now.]

I do, yes. What are they worth to you?

[darkremnants]

[ Staying there for the moment tyvm. ]

I should be asking you that. What's it worth to you?

[ Then he'll see if it's worth it. ]

[guileturncoat]

Well...having someone to help me with all my dirty work wouldn't be so bad. And an assistant would get access to the information I know.

So what do you say? Want to form a partnership for the time being?

[darkremnants]

What kind of dirty work are we talking?

[ if it's household chores, he's pulling on some bandages ]

[guileturncoat]

Oh, nothing much. Just reporting back to me if anyone does anything truly stupid. And maybe being in the right place at the right time to conveniently create certain situations.

[darkremnants]

[ Reaching between them to snag another chip from the bag, still maintaining eye contact. ]

That sounds right up my alley. When do I start?

[guileturncoat]

As soon as you leave this room, if you want.

The files are hidden though, so you'll have to wait a day or two to get access to them.

[darkremnants]

[ he's not going to be the one to pull away first this time. ]

You must have quite the memory to not need them on hand.

[guileturncoat]

That's right~

[He's not pulling away either. Gotta establish dominance by holding his ground.]

paper files can be stolen, but- barring the use of specific SCPs- memories can't.
