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.)

[laserguy]

[He's not sure if he believes Dazai, but also, he doesn't want to ask.]

I didn't realize you were this annoying until now.

[Was that comment necessary? No. But he's in a grumpy mood thanks to him, although it's not the same sort of sullenness he had before the older man contacted him.]

[nullificates]

Wow, you clearly hadn't been paying attention.

[laserguy]

[He says that without any sort of shame...

Although, those feelings of gratitude will probably never go away for Scott-- strong first impressions and all that.]

Wow, you really do suck.

[nullificates]

Oh, yep. 100%! Anyway, kiddo, thank you for all the information you don't realize you've given me, I should visit you soon for your first drink because it sounds like you...

Need it!

Ah, to be young and grumpy.

(bitch u 22)

[laserguy]

[what.]

Aren't you supposed to prevent underage drink-- nevermind. [Why is he even asking?? Also Scott feels like he needs to drink after talking to Dazai.] Yeah, sure.

[nullificates]

Why would I? I've been drinking since I was younger than you, it's fine, it's fine, I turned out great.

(???????? no????)

Let's go see the ocean.

[laserguy]

[If there has ever been a motivating reason why someone shouldn't underage drink--]

Huh? The ocean? Why??

[nullificates]

Because I want to, doy! Come on, get your shoes, choooooop chop.

[laserguy]

What-- I don't have to do anything you say.

[............]

Fine, I'm going.

[nullificates]

Nice! Anything you want to try first, kid?

[laserguy]

No?? This was your idea!

[What's going on anymore--]

Long as you bring some alcohol with you.

[nullificates]

Ah, I'll bring the first thing I see. I'm a business owner, I have plenty of booze!

Come, come.
