I wouldn't expect otherwise. Just let me know if you do wind up in any fights.

[ Or if he had to kill someone. He can help with evidence. ]

[shortforever]

Of course. I'm counting on you to help me if that happens.

[Just putting that out there again. Murder buddies.]

[shortfornow]

[ Murder buddies. With that out of the way... ]

Do you think the girl did it?

[shortforever]

Not Lili, her leg is injured. Escha...probably? The clues point to her, right?

[shortfornow]

They do point to her, but we couldn't find anything more substantial.

[ This place isn't going easy on any of them. ]

We should think about setting up traps on the cabin or taking a lesson from what Luna did.

[ Make a mess for someone to stumble in ]

[shortforever]

Honestly...yeah, that's not a bad idea. If we make a mess, they'll leave clues behind.

[shortfornow]

We can spread flour outside of the cabins and stay by the camp fire. We should get at least one or two others to stay with us.

[ To verify the effect.

Time to head back to the cabin though while people are still chatting. ]

[shortforever]

We should always stay somewhere else. So we get effects that can clear us of murdering.

[Even if being outside of the cabins is risky.

But being inside a cabin right now is okay, because it means privacy.]

...I really thought they were gonna vote for me, you know?

[shortfornow]

They did seem to be aiming for you for a bit of the trial. There being another you in another game wound up being beneficial for once.

[ Since Magnus said yeah that's pretty much Chuuya. ]

[shortforever]

It was so stupid too. Like, I had an effect. I couldn't have been the murderer. It's like they wanted it to be me over everyone else, even if the evidence didn't fit me.

[Yes, this is ironic of him to say, given Ogata's Everything.]

[shortfornow]

That might be true for some of them [ Asch ], but I don't think it was for all of them.

[ He heard Magnus say he was voting Ogata to not vote for any of the kids.

Unlocking leopard cabin and letting him in. ]

It was wasting time that could have been spent questioning the two.

[ They really didn't get to questioning them ]

[shortforever]

So was the whole marriage talk derail.

[So much time wasted, a pity.]

It just pisses me off so much! I really wanted to punch some of them, you know.

[shortfornow]

It would have been satisfying to see, but they may have voted for you then.

[ So good that he didn't in the end. Time to sit on the bed and pull out the roll of bandages he has. Look what he stole from the nurse's cabin. ]

[shortforever]

[Oho! Seeing that distracts him from his irritation.]

What're you gonna cover up? Your neck?

[shortfornow]

I went without bandages for the trial.

[ He was naked. There's a pause as he looks at the bandages and then looks at Chuuya. Patting the spot next to him. ]

Want an excuse to wrap something around my neck?

[shortforever]

Don't make it weird! I just thought that the one roll would only be enough to cover your neck.

[He does sit down next to Dazai, though.]

[shortfornow]

[ Their whole relationship is weird. ]

That's not a no, Chuuya.

[shortforever]

I'll wrap my fingers around your neck!

[shortfornow]

[ Time to lean in closer at that. ]

Really? Chuuya really does care.

[ He's already said he wouldn't mind being choked by him ]

[shortforever]

[He says this next part absolutely deadpan, as he leans back slightly.]

I changed my mind. No strangling for you.

[shortfornow]

Ah. Giving me hope only to dash it.

[ Dramatic sighing as he starts to wrap the bandages around his neck. So cruel. ]

[shortforever]

...let me do it.

[He's not going to strangle Dazai, but he'll help with the bandages at least.]

[shortfornow]

[ There's a pause before he offers the bandage roll over. Dazai didn't think he would actually want to do it. He'll bring a leg up on bed and turn to face Chuuya. ]

I'll leave it to you, Chuuya.

[shortforever]

[He takes the bandages from Dazai.]

I'll take care of it, then.

[He's actually going to take his time to do a good job and wrap the bandages flat, but not too snug. No choking today, just genuine care. Which is a lot coming from someone who doesn't actually care half the time.]

[shortfornow]

[ It is a lot coming from Chuuya, especially considering their everything. Closing his eyes while the other works, and focusing on just what he can feel. It definitely feels different from when he does it himself, especially when Chuuya goes over the scarred skin. ]
