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?

cw drug mention

[nullificates]

Ah, not really! Koto-chan came over in the morning, Fyodor came to see me afterward, got a bottle of poison teleported to my bed, promises of a hallucinogen trip tomorrow, and Chuuya told me he's going to catch some crab for dinner, so I think it's been eventful, even if I'm in bed rest and absolutely hate birthdays!!

(his arms go up, sorry, akira, he's crazy.)

Ah, no, black!

[chemex]

[Akira laughs at how eventful Dazai's day has, in fact, been, and especially because he doesn't really know what else to do with such flagrant drug mentions from someone he dubiously respects, setting down his bag and taking one of the chairs from what I'm assuming is a little dining table in every room, turning it backward to sit wrong on it. He extracts a thermos from the bag and holds it out.]

A man of taste, I see.

[nullificates]

(ah, this boy is cute, look at him sitting all weird!! endearing. akira holds second place in dazai's favoritism list. he slowly peels himself from the wall next to the bed, so he can take the thermos to take a nice sip.

oh, surprise, excitement, happiness--!!!!)

Woah, did you make this?!
