You want to visit Dazai? You have terrible taste, but okay! Dazai is living with Waver in London in the most cramped bachelor pad imaginable - at least Dazai keeps it clean now, sometimes over Waver's protests. Also there's a giant painting of Alexander the Great in the video game room, that's not weird.

Dazai's English isn't stellar, but he's more than capable of bringing a visitor around modern London. If you're the type of person to yeet yourself into the Clock Tower, one of the most distinguished organizations of magi in the world, you can also find yourself there, often helping Waver prepare for his classes.

(You could also find Dazai at the El-Melloi family's home, but Waver wouldn't like that :< He barely tolerates Dazai going there and interacting with his gremlin of an adopted sister.)

He's written himself the ability to travel at will, so he can drop in on the people unlikely to punch him in the face now and then. Or if you'd like to meet some of the other dead authors, he'll be happy to take a trip back home with you.

[ Kyouka doesn't know what to think about any of this honestly. Traveling to different worlds, meeting new people... Its different. She's not used to forming or keeping connections like this.

Without Dazai, she wouldn't know where to go and would turn right back around, so it's good that he's close. ]

... It makes sense, for what you have to do.

[ Saving literature and all that came with it. ]

1/2

[thesettingsun]

And for how many people live here.

[Shuji scans the room, scans the room... It's possible that Kyouka's on a delve and won't be back for another few hours, or it's possible-]

Izumi!

[thegoldenclock]

[A very pretty man approaches. Definitely a man - he sounds more like the detective Ranpo than anything when he opens his mouth.]

Rare of you to come back for a visit, Dazai. And who's this?

[nivation]

[ Kyouka tilts her head to the side. Definitely nothing like her, just like this Dazai isn't much like the Dazai from her world. ]

Kyouka Izumi. It's nice to meet you.

[thegoldenclock]

[Kyouka looks like he has no earthly idea what to say, before settling on-]

Likewise. I admit I'm not certain of the etiquette when meeting someone with my name... You and Dazai met at that castle, correct?

[nivation]

[ There isn't really that many instances of crossdimensional travel that she knows of, so they can make up the etiquette now or something. ]

He taught me how to sew.

[ As if that was the biggest thing that happened between them and not like all the murder in the backdrop. ]

[thegoldenclock]

How surprisingly thoughtful of him.

[Dazai looks the tiniest bit embarrassed.]

I'm pleased you both made it out safely.

[nivation]

[ She nods. It was surprising of Dazai, and she is pleased they made it out safe, too. ]

We could have all died. He did die.

tw: suicidal implications

[thesettingsun]

[Looking alarmed, Kyouka turns to Dazai, who shrugs.]

I've had worse. Dying's not so bad.

[Dazai is maybe not the most objective person when it comes to dying.]

[nivation]

You weren't guilty.

[ And he died for the person who was. Kyouka has no strong opinion on his relationship with Waver Lord El Melloi II, but she doesn't think he should've died for him, at least not like that.

(It's hypocritical thinking because she would've made herself seem guilty to save the people she loves, too.) ]

[thesettingsun]

You would have done the same for Nico, if it came to that.

[He knows and he's calling her out.

Kyouka increasingly (unsure) over here.]

[nivation]

Not like that.

[ Not a denial but also not quite agreeing.

The other Kyouka can stay unsure. ]

[thesettingsun]

...I'd hope not the same way, you're a little young for that.

[That isn't what Kyouka meant??]
