Sunday | Week 0.5

[darkremnants]

[ Vanitas is in the kitchen, leaning against the fridge. He has a tray of sushi in his hands and he's taking his time eating it. S'up kitten ]

[scarsnstripes]

['Sup. How did you even get sushi, Vanitas????

Not that Atsushi can really judge, he made himself a truly ludiriously sized bowl of some sort of noodles and vegetable. Really, it's piled so high one wonders if he can actually put that all away.

He's got a sizable chopstick full of noodles already halfway to his mouth when he notices Vanitas standing there.]

Ah... Vanitas? I didn't see you there.

[darkremnants]

[ from the fridge. he has no idea if it's anyone's. it was just there.

and it's in his mouth?

he'll look over at atsushi as he wipes a piece of rice from the corner of his mouth. ]

Maybe that's the point, Stripe.

[scarsnstripes]

'Stripe'?

[He quirks a brow, giving Vanitas a questioning look as he lows his chopsticks.]

Why would you want to sneak around?

[darkremnants]

[ popping another roll into his mouth to chew on it slowly. ]

To avoid stupid conversations like this one.

[scarsnstripes]

[He scowls a little at that.]

Then why are you watching me eat like a creep?

[darkremnants]

You're the one watching me. I'm just eating sushi. [ there's a beat ]

Did you want something?

[scarsnstripes]

Just to know why you're staring at me while you eat.

[While you... eat sushi...

.....]

...Actually, I might want a drink.

[He pushes his chair back to stand, making his way over.]

Could you move?

[Ideally to another room so you stop staring?]

Week 1 | Wednesday

[darkremnants]

[ Just going to bump into him in the hallway on his way back to the kitchen ]

Look what the cat dragged in...

[ hey kitten ]

Week 1, Saturday, post-game

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi has some things to check up on, but afterwards, he's going to be finding Vanitas. Ideally close enough to a bathroom to tug him in discreetly, but if not...

Well, he'll just be dragging him.]

I have some things to say to you.

[It sounds... harsh, but again, there's that hint of something else in his tone, an undercurrent of nerves beneath the annoyance.

It's like he's trying to make it look like he wants to get into a row with Vanitas in the bathroom, or something.]

[darkremnants]

That's not how you ask someone out on a date, kitten.

[ he does let himself be tugged into the bathroom. ]

[scarsnstripes]

Keep dreaming.

[He rolls his eyes, but his body language changes as soon as they're inside the bathroom, tension leaking from his shoulders. He needed to be out of sight of the cameras for this.]

...You were trying to help Dazai back there, weren't you?

[darkremnants]

[ There's a subtle shift in his own stance as soon as that question is asked. Vanitas tenses for a moment before giving a shrug. ]

What does it matter to you?

[scarsnstripes]

....Because I know what he's doing, and I'm worried about him.

[He lets out a breath, running a hand through his hair.]

There's no cameras here, Vanitas. Why do you think I brought you here?

[darkremnants]

I know there isn't.

[ sorry tiger, vanitas isn't big on the whole help word there. skipping answering that... ]

It looks to me like he's trying to go easy on us to let us win. [ a beat ] What did you find?

[scarsnstripes]

That's because he is.

[He slumps back against one of the bathroom stalls, looking tired all of a sudden.]

People might die, but that's not what he wants. Not personally.

[darkremnants]

[ it was obvious but even so... ]

He's an idiot. He knows the Foundation.

[ he knows what they would do. the shock from earlier is just scratching the surface... ]

Week 2 | Tuesday- how is it only week two.

[darkremnants]

[ He's wound up preoccupied with things to even get a message to Atsushi until the day things are supposed to happen. When he spots him around, he'll approach and slip a piece of paper in his pocket. It's a copy of the map with the blind spots marked. There's a place outside circled with words written.

Meet me here in ten minutes.

He'll be hanging outside on the grass with a couple bottles of sodas. S'up ]

Everything Happens So Much

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi reads the note, and wondering if this is about their fight, he'll dutifully meet Vanitas where it's indicated on the map. He offers a small wave, peering around before glancing at Vanitas.]

Hey. You wanted to talk to me?

[darkremnants]

[ He pulls out a notebook and pats the spot next to him. Also putting the tea by him so it looks like they are doing something. ]

On the show, this is usually when we find common ground gossiping about the others. Like who we both should betray or maybe how we should team up to vote someone off.

[ Writing in the note book. ]

Mics might be able to pick up convo.
Cameras can't see us.
Have to cancel the fight plan.

[scarsnstripes]

Except 'vote someone off' involves a lot more murder in this case.

[He'll settle next to Vanitas, reading what he writes in the notebook before pulling out his own pen--he's prepared, it seems.]

Got it.
I need to look at that map.
Why?

[Also he's going to just reach over and snag one of those drinks. If Vanitas brought them for looks he shouldn't protest Atsushi having one, right--]

[darkremnants]

A little blood here and there can be fun.

[ Good boy. He'll write under those words. ]

Promised Dazai.
He would have to execute whomever survived.

[ He shared with Dazai plans. ]

[scarsnstripes]

In your opinion.

[He'll open the bottle while vanitas writes his response, taking a sip. There's a furrow to his brows as he does, though.

He'll write his own response after.]

Even if no one died?
I didn't get a chance to mention it to him.

[darkremnants]

In my opinion, this place could use a little more incentive.

[ There's a pause, as if he's trying to figure out what to write or rather how much to write.

If he uses tiger smell he may be able to pick up what exactly vanitas is hesitating about. he still smells like dazai. ]

Even if no one died.
I told him yesterday.

[scarsnstripes]

I think the motives are more than enough incentive, personally.

[That pause is definitely suspicion. Before using the tiger's sense of smell though, he'll give Vanitas a long, searching look.

After that, though... When he takes a sniff, it's a familiar scent he smells.]

I thought violence wouldn't be punished?
You were with Dazai yesterday?
Doing what?
