[cartesio]

The other side...?

Have you started feeling at home in Cartesio yet? The town has offered you every hospitality that its citizens could think of. They love every corner of this town and they want you to feel the same. Have you accepted Cartesio into your heart yet?

Then it should be comforting to wake in your hotel room. A ceiling you have gotten used to, the warmth of a blanket surrounding you, your own breathing... and silence. All-encompassing silence.
It perseveres when you leave your room, it perseveres when you leave the hotel... Cartesio is quiet because there is nobody in Cartesio who could be making noise. It's a ghost town.

There is only you now, you think. And then, just as you've given up, a noise comes to your ears. A voice, unmistakably. It's time to follow it.

As of Week 5 you may see random objects and buildings of any size flicker. For milli-seconds they seem to glow on and off, blur around the edges, even distort a little. It only happens for a moment at a time, but it happens fairly often.

Welcome to the Cartesio Graveyard. Your character has woken up in a version of the town that is devoid of citizens, but there do seem to be a few people around. Time to explore the mysteries of the other side. For a more thorough OOC guide, we have compiled an FAQ.

[He knew. After all, he'd considered ending this farce the moment Oda tried to use it on him. But instead he waits. He waits for Oda to do it himself.

It's so anti-climactic, but then-- it's so very much like Odasaku.

And for now, he plays along; stretching and groaning casually, and begins talking in the same casual way. Which is terrible considering the subject.]

I've never been so emotionally crushed in all my life. I could have died a dramatically poetic death with my love-- but no. Some completely unattractive gremlin crushed me and burned me alive.

[...said as one complains about the weather.]

Fate is so cruel.

[odasaku]

So you’d rather have gotten killed by Cian.

[ because of course they’re going to continue to talk casually about it. oda is still angry about the fact that dabi killed dazai, weighing his options on whether or not he should do something in retribution.

but, for now, he’ll focus on the fact that dazai is here, with him. much too soon. ]

We heard that you tried to saved Wayne.

[pursuitofdeath]

Ahh-- well I can't deny that such a thing would make my heart race~

[dAZAI...]

But I wouldn't want her to have to live with something like that.

[Not helping the misunderstanding here.]

That's not what I meant though. But then, you wouldn't know-- Well. No need to go into that. But how could you have already forgotten my heartfelt confession? That hurts. I thought my courting was rather romantic.

[Was it though? Saying everything casually, without digging under the surface is better right? Because if he went under it would just be... well there's just. A lot to unearth.]

[odasaku]

I didn’t forget.

[ oda speaks up after a few seconds of thick silence, his gaze drifting away from dazai’s. how could he possibly forget? at most, all he did was push them aside a little in order to do what his heart had told him to do when they found cian and millium’s killer... but he could never forget.

although that probably makes things worse. ]

I just thought it wouldn’t apply anymore.

[pursuitofdeath]

...I see. It would be difficult to preserve such feelings for the person that killed you, I suppose.

[............]

But if you're going to do that then you should manage to properly break up with them.

[....................................]

[odasaku]

That’s not what I meant.

[ oda says that right away. even if his expression is deadpan, there’s a hint of annoyance in his voice. ]

I mean that I thought that you wouldn’t want to be with someone like me.

[pursuitofdeath]

[The fact that it clearly annoyed Oda-- actually makes Dazai smile.]

Well then you have no right to complain.

[If you're going to leave it up to him then you're stuck accepting his choice; good, bad or otherwise.

He slides his arms up around Oda's neck and leans against him, closing his eyes and smiling at the familiar warmth.]

I have no intention of letting you escape me again.

[odasaku]

[ oda can’t help but huff in amusement. even though they’re dead, dazai’s body is so warm, just like he last remembers it. he hugs him back, finding comfort in the gesture. ]

You did a good job, Dazai. I’m proud of you.

[pursuitofdeath]

...I wasn't able to do what you asked of me.

[Yes, that's something he's really stuck on right now. Did he really do a good job? He couldn't help anyone... and now, there was no one to look out for the others.]
