6/19 mid afternoon

[chemex]

this is me making an assumption, but
happy birthday, i think.

[nullificates]

... oh? how is it that you know?

[chemex]

i told you, you have the same name as a famous author from home.
so, assumptions.
do you like coffee?

[nullificates]

apparently, all of us do, don't we? nikolai gogol, osamu dazai, chuuya nahakara, fyodor dostoevsky...

ah. yes. am i assuming correctly to believe i'm about to have a visitor?

[chemex]

i'm not as familiar with the non-japanese ones, but those do ring some quiet old school bells in my brain somewhere.
if you don't hate that, yeah.

[nullificates]

not at all, i don't! you're welcome to my room anytime.

chuuya's out anyway, so i'd like the company, it's not like i can roam around, right??

[chemex]

sweet. i'll be by in ten.
you live with chuuya-san?

[nullificates]

yes. it's part of our agreement with everyone else from home, so we don't all murder each other! very fun for the whole family, right?

[chemex]

that's a bit of a yikes, buddy.
anyway, do you take cream or sugar in your coffee?

[nullificates]

i knooooooooooooooooow.

i take whiskey...........

[chemex]

this is the one and only time i implore you to remember i am, as you say, "a kiddo".

[nullificates]

who asked me for alcohol not that long ago!

surprise me.

[chemex]

there's a difference in asking for alcohol when you can get it because you're an adult and asking me for alcohol, i think.

wow, okay. any allergies i should be aware of? kotone would be pretty upset with me if i killed you, even on accident.

[nullificates]

my apartment is basically just alcohol, though. you can reach a shelf, right?

oh unfortunately not but im sure theres arsenic in the shelves too

[chemex]

i have heard really good things about coffee hot toddies, which if i'm not mistaken are made with whiskey.

oh my god i am not going to kill you for your birthday, dazai-san.

[nullificates]

wanna try your hand? feel free. if you accidentally break any bottles, make sure they're wine, for no particular reason whatsoever.

oh how lame of you!!! i thought we were becoming besties!!!!!!!!!!

[chemex]

i feel like there's a joke here that i'm missing.

if i have to be the lame no-murder bestie, so be it!!

[nullificates]

what about me says that this was a joke? smash all the wine, you're completely free to do so, i truly encourage you.

ugh, a friend who doesn't want to choke me dead??????? unheard of

[chemex]

i'll actually pass? broken wine bottles sounds like a disaster to clean up.

sorry not sorry, we do exist.

[nullificates]

you're of age so i can say this right

oh your loss.

[chemex]

i can't voice text emoji but envision me sticking my tongue out at you right now.

what's your room number?

[nullificates]

the semi-colon p one or the crazy lmao one?

(and here is the number, i have no idea...........)

[chemex]

semi-colon p, absolutely.

[And shortly after being given his room number, there's a knock on Dazai's door.]

[nullificates]

(noice)

(it's not like he can actually go and open it, so he'll just stretch from bed, his back cracking a little, and his voice echoing in his politeness behalf:)

Open, come in!

[chemex]

[And in he comes, a canvas tote bag in one hand. He grins, crookedly, and shuffles inside, stepping out of his shoes immediately out of habit.] All laid up and stuck alone on your birthday? Unfortunate. You take cream and sugar?
