[Seeing that Dazai's one of the first people he's met and has powers, Scott doesn't think it's weird at all to check up on him. They really haven't gotten to talk all that much, besides that initial meeting and their brief conversation over the network. While he's less sure of the other being a mutant now, seeing that other people with abilities exist here, Scott still wants to prod at this thread.]

Dazai, correct? I just wanted to ask, how have you been adjusting to this place? No one's giving you a hard time?

[Acting like leader boy to someone he doesn't know, that's basically him--]

[nullificates]

Fine! Wonderfully! This place is heaven!

(which is why he doesn't trust it one bit.)

[laserguy]

[Is... he being honest? Scott guesses so, he doesn't know him well enough to say otherwise.]

Assuming that you're sincere, I'm glad. [...] I realize now that you may not exactly be like me, but... I still wanted to check on you.

[Wow, that came off way more weird than he wanted. Too late.]

[nullificates]

Like you? White? Bad taste in shades? In a very nice suite? American, I assume?

[laserguy]

[Hilarious.]

Having powers. I remember that you were able to... negate mine with just a single touch. I haven't experienced or seen something like that before.

[nullificates]

Oh! Yes. That is my ability, the name is 'No Longer Human'.

Do you hate it?

[laserguy]

[Interesting that the ability that takes away someone's powers is called that. One would think that it would make them more human. Scott can imagine that sort of argument taking place back home at least.

Course, it may as well be Dazai's own personal name for his powers. And that's how he views others when he takes something like that from them. Still interesting.]

No, I don't hate it. [...] It's just a part of you, like how my optic blasts are a part of me. I'm assuming it's something you can't control?

[bleakdecember]

[They'd agreed to meet up at the casino, and Akechi was lucky to secure a private room. A bit of a small one, off to the side, given his rank.

Even so. When Dazai arrives, he has a deck of cards he's already shuffling. He looks up with a smile.]

Ah, so you did come. I thought you might just be taunting me.

[nullificates]

I told you, I'm incredibly agreeable!

(especially where sex is on the table. some of us were made for this place, one could say.

the game, however, is surprising. perhaps akechi might prefer something a tad more-- personal. he sits gladly in front of the other, his hands clasping to make a surface for his chin.)

So, how can I help!?

[bleakdecember]

[Sex is not only on the table, but theoretically just may be happening on this table.

He continues shuffling the cards, more as an idle motion than anything.]

You are quite easy, aren't you? [It doesn't quite sound mean, and yet...] Hypothetically, if I were to just jump you right now, what would you want to do?

[nullificates]

(hypothetically?

at least, he takes no offense. he has always been like this. his shift from mafioso to detective did nothing to curb bad habits. he still drinks nights away, flirts, finds himself in a bed or another. a box back in yokohama hides a ton of love letters of encounters he left the next day and never looked back.

there's a moment there where he hums, eyes looking up in feigned thought before he finds the answer that had always sat on his tongue.)

Bend you over this table, naturally! Would you also be this easy?

[bleakdecember]

[Hah. He wouldn't mind that. But this place is helping numb him to the immediate embarrassment of such a direct statement. He just grins, languid and mischievous.]

Maybe. I do like to be seduced, a little bit.

[nullificates]

Your situation had no seduction in it, it was very straight to the point! But, I certainly can do that!

(from the sofa to the table as a new seat, it becomes very clear how tall dazai is. long, long, long, and he his hand reaches for the other's, but stops midway.)

Ah, something important to be discussed. My ability can be somewhat uncomfortable if you have one of your own, so I am warning you now, it is completely harmless, but I'd rather you not to be started in the middle of passion.

[moonlightbeast]

Dazai-san! I found something really cool! Want to see?

[nullificates]

you have my undivided attention!

[moonlightbeast]

Ever done the VR pods before?

[nullificates]

eeeh? whats that?!

[moonlightbeast]

I'll show you! Meet me at the Mating Season!

[nullificates]

(not at all sure what to expect, but alright! let's see what atsushi has cooking. he arrives, his little face checking every and each pod in curiosity, trying to find the other boy-- oh, wow, look at the flexibility on this one couple!

good job!)

No word on anyone wanting a gun, but I did get a few people revealing some material desires publicly.

[Notice her!!! Though mostly she wants recognition because she had to juggle some of the most potent weirdos she has met yet.]

[nullificates]

sounds like 'j' is gonna have to change his contraband focus. I'll pass the word to him and keep the piece!!

also, aren't you wonderful. what did you find out?!

[erbe]

Aside from certain sentimental or personal items, most people would rather see changes in how the resort operates rather than anything material. Those who do seek material items are more likely to be lower rank or unwilling to admit as such unless it's private and in person.

I've gotten a couple offers for such private meetings, and at least one of them seems like he may be hinting at a business relationship much like the one we currently share.

[nullificates]

(he too would like his mementos, but that's besides the point.)

what changes exactly?

go to it and report back. we'll see what we can do.

[erbe]

The types of ridiculous, over-the-top asks that would never be implemented even if we were able to negotiate. Mostly "release us all" or "make it opt in" or other such whining complaints.

Already on it. We'll be meeting at the Gilded Cage. He seems to be interested in flaunting his wealth.

[nullificates]

you know, rin-chan? people who like to talk about how rich they are are the easiest! the ego talks so loud!

would you believe if i told you i am a billionaire?!
