[open dreamdive] no longer human

[thesettingsun]

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.]

Bold words from someone still carrying the evidence.

[...no, he doesn't mean the book from this office, he means John's book that he snagged from the library.]

[vitis]

[ that. admittedly does get the vines to halt completely in their midst, particularly john's heart skips a beat wherein he thinks he's been realized. thankfully, from within his jacket, he does feel the book pressed to his side.

his brows furrow, mouth twisting ]

I'm— [ ah. he shifts. ] —How do you mean that, messing with his mind?

[thesettingsun]

Are you serious? You don't even know what you've done?

[I hope you weren't expecting Dazai to be helpful suddenly. His mouth twists up in a smirk.]

Maybe it's better this way.

[vitis]

[ john's eyes narrow to slits. how irritating. ]

Couldn't know, could I?

[ he bites the inside of his cheek to stop himself from saying something more candid; the book moves toward him once more. he steps back again. ]

With comments like that, though, not hard to make an educated guess. [ but does he want to, is the question ]

[thesettingsun]

Oh, don't mind me. It's not a big deal.

[From Dazai, this is as good as saying that John really should try to fix it.]
