DAY 8 (morning) Complex Population: 19 It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. Of course, some of you might be waking up due to a rather alarming reason. — NOTE: This day post will be run slightly differently because of the large amount of things to be discovered. Please indicate where your character is in the subject line of your toplevel, and a mod will reply to conduct the investigation. Please note that some areas may be dangerous, and your characters may be injured, but characters will not be killed (unless you want them to be). This post is for the second day as defined in the schedule. This post is for investigation and general mingling before the trial that takes place in the afternoon IC. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard

[ Oregon Trail lives on...

and lucky enough, Dazai is also one of the rare few that Ookurikara doesn't mind. If Mitsutada knew them, then they were generally fine in his book. WITH THAT SAID, he sighs and shifts his position, looking over the wounds he's sustained. ] I don't really do that.

He would always do it for me. So I don't really feel like doing it myself. [ UGH that really bothered him to say. ]

[estimated]

[ look... they went to go investigate together? and oregon trail sticks together until death comes for one of them, but there's no avoiding that.

he does sigh, but out of concern. after all, he can't imagine that any of this is easy on ookurikara right now. ]

Then, I'll do it for you. If we're going to find who did this to him, letting yourself waste away isn't going to help you.

[karachan]

[ There's a moment of hesitation before Ookurikara seems to relent...his position has adjusted enough to allow Dazai to treat what he likes, though he's still gripping Mitsutada's sword in particular pretty tightly. He'll move around if Dazai instructs him to but other than that, he'll most likely receive no help. ]

Fine. He would want that too...I guess. [ HE KNOWS that Mitsutada would want him to be treated properly at least...so it's within his wishes which helps him be slightly more cooperative -- ]

[estimated]

[ to be honest, he's pretty used to dealing with this kind of behavior, so it's really no inconvenience at all — especially since dazai will probably want him to turn this way and that until he's bandaged the worst of his injuries, and since ookurikara is discovering his inner cooperation skills... things will be okay. ]

Hold out your arm, then.

[ and if he does, dazai will immediately set on bandaging it, firmly wrapping the gauze around and around. as he does, however, he'll ask something else. ]

That's not the worst of your injuries, I'm guessing?

[karachan]

No. There's a few on my chest but everything else is visible.

[ Up and down his arms, some lesser ones on his face that don't look TOO bad but most the damage was done to his torso since he was facing forward and reaching out to grab Mitsutada when the explosion went off. In fact, he's favoring his left since it was his right arm and the right of his torso that suffered the most. ]

Here. [ He'll remove his jacket and roll up the stained red, white shirt he typically wears. Most of the bad damage is on his lower right arm, but there's a particularly nasty looking mess of wounds over his ribs on his right.

As much as he tries to hide it, he's wincing whenever he moves his arm. ]

[estimated]

[ even though dazai knows ookurikara is having a rough time and may not be at his best right now, it's still so surprising to see him go along with these suggestions. in fact, he's so surprised that he'll actually take a moment to genuinely thank him for... you know. being cooperative. ]

Thanks.

[ anyway! after he's finished taking care of kuri's right arm, he takes his his roll of bandages in one hand, and start wrapping strips around his torso in a similar manner — pulling it taut enough for kuri to breathe properly and for it to stop the bleeding. his work is quick and neat, and even someone who's never seen first aid before will know that he has some considerable level of skill in bandaging.

once the worst of kuri's injuries have been patched up, he'll lean back on the stool, returning some of his personal space back to him. ]

That should do it. If something feels uncomfortable, don't hesitate to tell me. [ such as if he's wrapped something too tightly, but usually, he doesn't make those mistakes. ]

[karachan]

It's fine. [ IT IS but even if it wasn't, he wouldn't really complain. It just all feels surreal to him still? It all hasn't quite sunken in for him yet...everything that happened today doesn't feel like it's real. Like it's all some horrible nightmare he's going to wake up from --

he was so sure that at least Mitsutada would be fine. Who would go after him when he's been so nice and caring to everyone? Maybe trusting people too much but that's the kind of person that staff would want around, right? He was too naive to think that and he paid the price. As guilty as he now thinks everyone else still alive is, he's not exempt from that guilt either. Not with how he promised to protect Mitsutada over and over again, to always be by his side and watch his back.

HE SIGHS and spares Dazai a glance. He doesn't give thanks but he asks him (1) thing. ] Your room. Do you have space there? [ He pretty much left his apartment burning -- not that he cares. He wouldn't want to go back there where he and Mitsutada often where anyway so it's probably better that it burned. ]

[estimated]

[ there's one thing that dazai has learned so far in these past few days — and it's that these bandages go far in this place, even further than weapons. this also means that he'll run out eventually, but he'll cross that bridge when he gets there.

but he does look up when ookurikara speaks again, blinking in surprise, because kuri just seems to be full of twists and turns today. ]

My room? There's three of us now, including me, so I'd say that the amount of space you get isn't the best. But it also isn't too loud, so it works for all of us.

[ and of course, he knows what kuri's getting at. ]

If you're okay with being the fourth person there, we wouldn't mind having you.

[ probably!! also, steve is there. please don't eat steve. ]

[karachan]

[ "Now" he says...that gives Ookurikara slight pause but he doesn't comment on it. He's been given at least somewhere to stay for the nights that may or may not come for him so it's...something to keep him going. If for Mitsutada's sake and not his own. ]

I appreciate it. I didn't exactly stick around a burning apartment building when I woke up alone today. [ HE SIGHS again. This is going to take some getting used to but he'll manage and he won't eat Steve -- ]
