Week 7, Saturday, post-trial: Souji.

[thesettingsun]

I'm glad you're alright.

[The whole execution thing still happened and still sucked, but at least Souji's here now, alive and well.]

I always said you and Veronica were the smart ones.

Comments

[sanguinairy]

[HE'S ALSO GLAD TO BE ALIVE AND WELL. The execution did suck, but at least he was only dead very briefly.]

Veronica, at least... She's certainly been able to carry us all, you know?

[Said with a laugh, though.]

But it's good to see you back again.

[thesettingsun]

I missed you.

[even if they apparently only talked privately with the other disaster squad members]

Don't sell yourself short. You're more intelligent than half of the castle.

[sanguinairy]

[SOMETIMES YOU JUST YEET WITH YOUR FRIENDS TOO HARD...]

The same to you. [A small, quirking smile. He's glad Dazai made it through, even if the graveyard was apparently a real wild place over the last week or two... Lord.]

That's a little too unkind to the others here, you know. It's only through all of us together that we managed to make this happen.

[Just ignore the parts where they almost kept shooting themselves in the feet, too.]

[thesettingsun]

[He and Yasu beat Akechi up together, it was great bonding they got along so well-]

Not to be unkind to the others here, but you three-way-tied a vote where you already knew three people who were guilty, and one of the people you executed wasn't even guilty.

[y'all are kinda dumb]

[sanguinairy]

[WHAT KINDA YEET BONDING EVEN

But yeah that's so true.]

...Still, I did have a hand in that, too.

[thesettingsun]

I can't complain because it meant I got to kick Zelos in the junk.

[sanguinairy]

Ah, you did? You waste no time.

[thesettingsun]

Why would I? He might have had a chance to put his guard up.

[sanguinairy]

I guess that does defeat the purpose.

[He's teasing, though... A punk.]

[thesettingsun]

[Dazai's a punk himself, so maybe that's part of why he likes Souji so much.]

Exactly. And you know that saying: why put off punching someone until tomorrow when you can punch them today?

[sanguinairy]

[Two punks just being punks, bonding over punkitude.]

You never know what will happen tomorrow, after all.

[thesettingsun]

Exactly. One of us could have been resurrected or something annoying like that.

[sanguinairy]

It looks like that is what happened, so you weren't exactly wrong about it.

[thesettingsun]

Don't underestimate me when it comes to getting my revenge.

[sanguinairy]

Oh, I'll certainly keep it in mind.

[But his tone is light and mostly joking, once more.]

Ah... But I'm sure you have others you'd like to talk with tonight, and there are a few more I want to see, too. Shall we speak again tomorrow?

thread wrapup

[thesettingsun]

Plenty of people.

[He has a few apologies to give.]

I'll see you tomorrow, Souji.
