[open dreamdive] no longer human
WHO: You!
WHERE: Shuji's subconscious.
WHEN: August 18.
WHAT: Dreamdiving!
WARNINGS: Depends on how the dive goes, but a likely one is suicide.
[Maybe you weren't even in line of sight of Shuji. Just about everyone has a reason to be out and about on a Saruday afternoon, and nobody wants their day interrupted by the ground falling out from under them. Maybe you don't even instantly recognize that the library entrance you fall into would be part of Shuji's subconscious and not anybody else's.
This is how things ended up for you today, unfortunately. Might as well take a look around and see if you can't spot the man himself.
Locations are in top-levels added as divers enter them.]

This is where Shuji keeps his trauma.
[An equally direct answer. Oda's usually straightforward, after all.]
no subject
[ he supposes, technically, that would have to go somewhere? with everything he's witnessed thus far. but... ]
And it's your job to just-- stay here? Tend to this stuff?
[ his eyes some of wines, particularly if they have any labels. ]
no subject
To warn people, and to keep people who would hurt Shuji from going past here.
[The wines don't have descriptive labels, but they do have vintages. 'October 2017' is on a few of them - John should have a good idea why a few of Shuji's traumatic events are from that time.]
no subject
... Y'know, this really is "bottling it up."
[ just remarking, somewhat stonily. john's eyes flicker over a few more dates, from bottle to bottle, before settling back on odasaku's face. the friendly smile's disappeared. ]
It's not like I can blame you, though. [ for anything? it's clearly out of his hands, what with heart!odasaku just doing his job. ] But I dunno, it doesn't seem...
[ he trails off. "right"? "good"? it's not john can comment on anything without it being laden with hypocrisy in this case. he doesn't know how to articulate that; he hopes that he's wrong, and that the bartender will provide a correction. ]
no subject
[The pun doesn't even get a snort. Rude, Odasaku.]
Healthy?
You should talk to him about it.
no subject
[ and that would be that, he supposes. it hurts to hear; it wasn't exactly a correction, after all. but before he leaves, he does ponder over something else that's been stated: ]
And what's "past here"?
[ a nod, indicating that door? but suddenly, he's also wondering if he should no longer pry. ... that was quite the admission he'd received, after all. ]
no subject
It's his hopes and dreams.
[That's why it's the most important place to protect in his heart.]
no subject
[ that is something of a relief to hear. john nods, his lips curling into a small smile: yes, he supposes that would be an important place. ]
All right. Keep up the good work then, yeah? [ he does have a job to finish, doesn't he? maybe when he finds shuji, and it's okay with him, they can go in together. ]
[ or, like odasaku said, he can ask. so he offers the man a wave. ]
[ it's time to get to that office. ]
