Something didn't feel right about Ogata. I don't think it was the fucking mastermind thing everybody was saying it was. [ beau says, glancing out across the camp. ]

But who fucking knows, right?

[shortforever]

He always seemed weird, I thought it meant he was smarter than he looked.

[But yeah, who knows at this point.]

I was ready to spite-vote Taako today, but then it looked like it was gonna be close so I actually had to make a vote that counted.

[disreguarded]

He is smarter than he looks, but - I don't think he'd go out of his way to kill someone in this huge mastermind sort of way, you feel me?

[ a beat. ] Don't spite vote Taako, the fuck.

[shortforever]

Like he was in any danger of getting voted out. I usually spite vote anyway.

[disreguarded]

[ omg chuuya she reaches out to shove his face with one hand!! ]

Don't spite vote people, you little shit, every vote counts. What if they change the rules on us randomly one day and it's randomized?

[shortforever]

[He is shoved! And he lets out an 'argh' before trying to swat her hand away.]

If it's all random then it doesn't matter who I vote for anyway!

[disreguarded]

Yes, it does! If it's random and you're the only person who voted for that person, and they died, it'd be your fault! Gods fucking above.

[shortforever]

If my one vote got someone killed, then it would have gotten someone killed regardless of who I voted for! Because changing my vote would have made someone else the majority vote! So nor matter what, it would've been my fault!

But you know, some people are dead fucking set on making everything my fault, so it's not exactly a new concept to me.

[disreguarded]

[ her jaw works. ]

Don't try to guilt me, it doesn't work. [ she folds her arms. ] You killed someone because you could, at the House. I know the reason, and it's better that Ayabe didn't have to do it, but I'm not going to pretend you're an innocent baby getting blamed for all the shit in the world.

[shortforever]

I'm an innocent baby getting blamed for all the shit in THIS world! My record is squeaky clean here!

[Grump grump grump]

[ CHUUYA she's not having it, she will turn this bus around ]

You barely even got accused of murder, baby brat. People lost interest in you pretty fast, and last I checked, you're not the one sitting in a jail cell waiting to die tomorrow.

[shortforever]

No, I'm going to be the one with a knife in my back come next Friday.

[He's. Very self-centered, I'm so sorry.]

[disreguarded]

[ this time she musses his hair into his face. ]

No, you're not. Barely anybody suspected you.

[shortforever]

[Nooo his hair! He reaches up to straighten it angrily.]

Oh fuck off, you'd be upset if people suspected you!

[disreguarded]

Eh. [ poor chuuya. sniff. ] It'd be a relief at this point.

[shortforever]

[Ok, that gets him to stop.]

Really? Why a relief?

[disreguarded]

[ hm. she pauses, and then: ]

What, you're not tired of this shit?

[shortforever]

Maybe a little? But you know, this isn't too far off from what life is actually like. It's not always life-or-death like this, but most of living is pretty shitty. You have to put up with the shit to get to the few good days here and there.

[disreguarded]

[ another pause. ]

You're like twelve, you're not allowed to be existential like that.

[shortforever]

I'm fifteen, thank you very much.

[disreguarded]

Whatever. [ she's so rude, god ] I just mean it'd be easier to hang out in the afterlife and let everybody else solve this shit for a change.

[shortforever]

Technically you don't have to solve this shit right now. There's some people who do jack-all at trials. You can take a week off and just sip a drink at one of the other tables or something. And you can do that without suffering the pain of dying.

[disreguarded]

[ as dryly as possible: ] What if I want to suffer the pain of dying. Don't take that from me.

[shortforever]

You can take that talk and go hang out with Dazai. I'm sure he'd love the company.

[disreguarded]

[ chuuya would've hated asch and beau's conversation the other night that's for sure. beau's lips twitch. ]

I'll pass. I'm still mad at him for making me stick my hand to your forehead for an hour.
