[nullificates]

Ah, no? I simply came for chit-chat.

(he doesn't have to ask, HE'S GIVING DAZAI THE STANDARD GRUMPY TEEN NOT FINE RESPONSE.)

[laserguy]

What? [......] Fine. What did you want to talk about then?

[Scott's not putting thought into the 'why' any longer. If Dazai wants to just chat, then fine. Whatever.]

[nullificates]

Mmmmm, nothing at all! Ah, are all teenagers that moody? There's a bunch of you here, did you know? Have you met them?

[laserguy]

[He's not moody!!]

Yeah, I've met some. It's not like I've been staying in my room all day long not talking to anyone.

[He's lying outside somewhere not talking to anyone. Big difference!]

[nullificates]

Ah? Who from our wonderful youth have you had the pleasure of meeting?

[laserguy]

Huh? Why does it matter? Making sure that I'm hanging out with the right people my age?

[Guess he's not surprised if Dazai knows a bunch of teenagers. Maybe that's kinda weird, but circumstances or whatever. Could be they also went to him having problems with their powers, since he can nullify anything.]

[nullificates]

Oh, it doesn't, I really don't care who you hang out with at all! I just have favorites, so I can applaud your good or bad taste in people like that!

[laserguy]

[... Uh-huh.]

Where do I rank? A bad influence on your favorites?

[nullificates]

Mhmmmmmmm, actually, no, you're a good kid. You're up there with the favorites!

[laserguy]

[That's a first for him. Maybe Dazai is making fun of him, but.]

Jesus, you're so nosy. [BETTER THAN ADMITING THAT HE FEELS A LITTLE BETTER because of Dazai's maybe sincere words. It's already embarrassing and it'd be ultra embarrassing if he was just messing with him.] Fine, I've talked to Izuku, and met Mizuki and... Kotone.

[There's a small note of hesitation as he says Kotone's name, but it's fine. Don't worry about it. Nothing happened.]

[nullificates]

Don't care about the first two, but Kotone is my mentee. I hear that hesitation! You into her? I told her men suck, so I don't know if you have a chance! Fufufufufufu.

[laserguy]

Wha- no!!

[Oh my god what's happening. Also don't mind Scott sounding a little defensive about all this.] And you're not her dad. Or mine.

[nullificates]

I definitely am not! Thank God, could you imagine? I barely eat, you would all starve to death!!! Fufufufufu!! That's not a great way to go, I read it in a book!

I'm going to ask my not-child if she's getting hit on, then, since you won't tell me!

[laserguy]

[He hopes that Dazai doesn't actually have a kid because what the fuck.]

I'm not hitting on her!! God, you're so annoying..... [How did he get into this conversation again? Scott's so close to just closing the charm and ending this, but he stops himself, mostly because he is a little curious about Dazai's definitely not!daughter.]

Have you seen Kotone recently? Is she... okay?

[nullificates]

Ah, aren't you? Then you have poor taste, she's a great kid.

(men are trash, says dazai osamu, also trash.

either way, at the question, he doesn't hesitate to lie. it's more common than him telling the full truth, and kotone is just like him. a mask under a mask would reveal yet another mask.)

She's fine! Ah, worried about her, aren't we? She's my mentee after all. Nothing she can't handle.

[laserguy]

[Scott definitely hates him!! Okay, not really, but he hasn't realized how annoying he is until now. The teen pulls back his irritation, however, because he wants to talk about Kotone for just a little longer and he's too chicken shit to try and contact the other teen by himself right now.

Also, giving her space, or something. Mostly he just feels like crap--]

Yeah? Well, glad to hear. [Scott believes Dazai for the time being anyway.] I mean, the whole thing with the giant has been shit and just uh. Wanted to be sure.

[Nothing like he was personally in a fight with her or anything, nope.]

[nullificates]

You can ask her yourself.

(if dazai can microtorture someone in front of her and she still takes care of him and allows him to mentor her, what bad thing has scott done that she wouldn't think it over? especially when it comes to the whole mind control situation.

she's not perfectly fine, but she'll find her way, he's sure.)

She doesn't bite, you know.

[laserguy]

[Long beat.]

It's fine. You said she's fine, so I don't have to do anything right now.

[How stupid does he look complaining and sulking next to a small communication device? Good thing Scott isn't thinking about it.]

[nullificates]

See, this is why men are trash.

(BRUH)

[laserguy]

Shut up! Aren't you a guy too??

[UGGGGGH.]

And guess since I'm such trash, you'll feel better knowing that I'm not talking to her!!

[nullificates]

Yes???? My crime parchment literally just says 'womanizing', I am fully aware?????

(duh.)

Ah, you should. At your age, I was talking to many women!! Be trash, enjoy life.

(CONFLICTING INFORMATION.)

[laserguy]

[The hell??] You really suck at this.

Besides, I'm fine talking with girls. I.... I just don't feel like talking to one of them right now!

[nullificates]

Mhm, not really, I'm actually great at that.

Huh. I'm going to go ask her!

[laserguy]

You don't have to-- [WHY IS HE SO NOSY.]

I'll talk to her eventually! Just. Not right now.

[nullificates]

Ah, fine, fine. I won't meddle.

(haha he will meddle.)
