Dazai's Vampire Adventures [open]
Who: Osamu Dazai (proficience) and you!
When: September 1st through September 4th, before the trip to Dorchacht
Where: Various places around the main city; the cafe, around the streets, etc.
What: Dazai is just trying to get by as a vampire during the daytime, really. Some fairly light-hearted threads before the event!
Warnings: Probably nothing really, but I'll put a talk of suicide warning here just in case, since that's how he is.
I - The Cafe
[Dazai had originally agreed upon working at one of the local cafes as a way to earn money to buy his closest friend a notebook, as well as to help pay for whatever their house needs. That, and he'd become painfully bored without any sort of job. Sure, back home, he'd tend to avoid work or responsibility unless absolutely necessary, but --
He knows that here, as a vampire, his time to enjoy the days are short. Incredibly so.
He's also a social man, so meeting new people is always a bit of a thrill; without a job, doing so would be near impossible.
Today, he's behind the counter and about as peppy as one would expect him to be. He's trying to cope with the fact that he has to yawn just about every few minutes or so by insisting he keep a smile upon his face at all times. The smile may be a tad -- well, unnerving with his newly formed fangs.]
Hello~! Can I take your -- [He'll yawn here, waving a hand frantically in front of his mouth in an attempt to hide it.] order?
II - With an Umbrella
[After receiving several lessons on how to survive as a vampire during the day soon after his initial arrival, Dazai has picked up on a few Life Pro Tips and has now finally procured an umbrella that he now has tightly gripped in his hand. He's walking around the city near most of the shops, stopping occasionally to catch his breath.
Honestly, if he weren't in the process of turning, he'd appear to passersby to be incredibly sick. Even if one were to witness him wobble about and stop for breath, they might think that he is.
He can be approached either while walking, while hunched over and holding his knees, or while he's passed out on a bench.
If approached on the bench, he might be baking just a bit in the sun. That umbrella won't be in his hand at that point!]
III - Desperate Need to Feed
[A certain vampire named Dazai has been incredibly stubborn lately when it comes to actually feeding from others. He has two reliable sources, those who are bonded to him, but --
Sometimes, neither are available, and sometimes, Dazai worries about taking too much blood from them at once. So, he's far more emotional than usual if approached while anywhere, the chance of him simply snapping at you higher than normal.
In fact, while he's trying to make his way home from work, he'll bump into someone (you, perhaps?) and state:]
Out. of. my. way.
[His voice, although weak, still carries a strong hint of disdain for whomever he'd bumped into.]
IV - Wildcard

I see. In any case, I would like to order some coffee.
[ a raise of a brow as he watches dazai f*ck with the espresso machine. ]
At your leisure, of course.
no subject
Being surrounded by coffee, its smell and various baked goods is almost torturous for him, though, so this job was probably not the best one he could have signed up for.]
You drink coffee?
[He turns his neck just enough to peer toward Akutagawa with one eye.]
Even after the changes?
no subject
[ if by 'just fine' you mean 'more than a small cup makes him puke.' akutagawa is just clinging to what few vices he can indulge in left. plus, coffee is delicious, okay. ]
What about you? Is being out and about in the daytime not painful for you? Vampires turn to ash when faced with sunlight and fire, if I recall correctly.
no subject
Before too long, you won't be able to tolerate it any longer. Trust me. [If he looks a little sad about this, he is. Not for Akutagawa's sake, but for his own. He'd tried so many times to drink some coffee or sake, only to end up in the bathroom almost immediately after.]
I can handle the sun as long as I use an umbrella. But I was warned that in about a month or two, that won't be an option. I'll have to sleep during the day. Which means --
I'm saving up for a coffin! [He leans forward, propping his elbows on the counter.] I want to cover it in bandages! How does that sound?
no subject
[ OKAY AKUTAGAWA... while the faraway sadness in dazai's expression does seem genuine, akutagawa doubts its for him. he can only imagine all the vices dazai used to indulge in that he can't anymore. he can't even miserably drink alone at night anymore. damn. ]
That's unfortunate, but I have a feeling you will adapt to a nocturnal lifestyle quite well. Certainly, there are facilities here that have vampires and other nocturnal folk in mind?
[ ...a coffin. ]
...You're saving up for a coffin. That you want to cover in bandages. That sounds foolish and unnecessary, to be perfectly honest. Do you have any idea how much coffins cost? I doubt they are any less expensive here than they are where we are from. And about my coffee...
no subject
He might cry.
But he does perk up at the suggestion of safe havens for vampires.]
Yes. I've been to one. They can't turn blood into wine, however. That -- [Wait. Wait. What if a witch could do that? He straightens up and slams a fist on the counter as if he'd just come up with the best idea ever, garnering some looks of disdain from a few customers.]
That could be it! A witch could turn blood into wine! A blood-wine! [He's genuinely excited now, and he isn't even yawning. It's as if he'd found some energy within.]
They're expensive. Thankfully, housing here is free, so I can use the funds that would have went to rent for a coffin instead!
no subject
akutagawa can't help but question the genuineness of dazai's transformation updates, because he sure is acting like he's high right now. can vampires smoke weed? dazai would definitely know, so akutagawa keeps the question to himself and tries to just keep on living his life. though, he'd like his life to continue forward with a little bit of coffee... just a little bit. ]
Something can only be blood or wine, short of mixing the two, it is impossible for one to be the other. Wouldn't that taste horrendous anyway? How can you be so eager to try drinking blood and fermented rice? Just the thought is sickening...
[ he wrinkles his nose in distaste. speaking of distaste... ]
A coffin would be such an impractical thing to sleep in. Assuming you are using a true coffin and not a casket, needing to move the lid every time you wake up will be cumbersome. What if you need to use the bathroom, for example? Or a fire occurs in your room?
[ ... ]
Perhaps you should have someone sleep in the same room as you, in order to watch over you?
[ AKUTAGAWA SHUT THE FUCK UP LMAO ]
no subject
He hadn't forgotten about that coffee Akutagawa wants, either, but he's a bit too focused on himself at the moment to care enough to retrieve it.]
Considering how I can only consume blood, which I find the taste of to be -- very tolerable, blood-wine would taste fine, I think!
[But it can't exist, obviously, so there's no point in him explaining his feelings on the taste.]
Those are good points. But I've found that I can lift things I couldn't even budge before. The books I've read stated that vampires have incredible strength.
I don't need supervision.
[There goes Akutagawa's hopes and dreams, once again.
Finally -- Dazai decides to ask about that coffee.]
What did you want, again? A coffee? That's it?
no subject
Really? Is that so? I suppose that's true of the movies I have seen as well... You must be stronger than ever now. May I suggest furthering your hand-to-hand combat skills? You might as well put this new power of yours to use.
[ akutagawa, always with fighting on the brain... and booooo! at least akutagawa doesn't press the issue... For Now. only because he wants his damn coffee. ]
Yes. A caramel coffee with a regular amount of milk and three sugars.
[ shouldn't take too long, right? then akutagawa can go back to work... ]
no subject
You'd lose.
[Sparring with his former protege seems like a terrible idea, especially since it's obvious that Akutagawa is going to eventually turn into some sort of domesticated dog. Pupper versus Vampire = a one sided match, definitely.]
That's a good choice!
[But it will take a few minutes, so hopefully Akutagawa's break doesn't end very soon!]
And it'll be -- [He punches the order into the system.] Wait. What size?
no subject
[ akutagawa would honestly rather fucking kill himself than let dazai so much as give him a high five. fighting with him, training with him?? no thanks, akutagawa isn't really a fan of psychotic ptsd meltdowns and shit like that!!!! ]
You're the one whose martial arts skills are lacking. Nakahara-san said that among all the executives, your hand-to-hand skills leave the most to be desired.
[ not that it matters, since dazai is only a vampire while akutagawa is a triple-double megaton ultrawolf. it'd be an unfair matchup, honestly. ]
A small, Dazai-san. Thank you.
[ he only added that thank you in there to hopefully get dazai to hurry along. his break time is dwindling... he'd really like to sit down at some point! ]
no subject
This life is suffering.]
Chuuya? Chuuya said that? [Do not mention that man's name around him!
He groans and punches the order for a small into the register.]
$4.50
no subject
a nod. ]
Yes. I must say, I am inclined to agree. Even Kouyou-san is surprisingly dazzling in her martial arts skills, even with her elaborate dressing. Your strong suit is your mind.
[ akutagawa needs to shut the fuck up, probably. anyway, he pays before waiting for his change. can he please...leave now... ]
no subject
Dazai gives back the change without a word and turns around to prepare that coffee.
Which he does very, very slowly since he's losing energy by the second.]
Oops!
[Did he just spill caramel sauce on the counter? Yes, yes he did. The coffee itself is prepared without leaving a mess on the cup, at least, so he'll consider it a success.
He hands it to the other man.]
Here you are! [With the cheesiest smile imaginable.] Have a wonderful day~!
[While tipping isn't customary back in Japan, it is here.
Where's his tip????]
no subject
DEUCES, DICKWAD! ]
no subject
Dazai looks down at the tip jar heartbroken and feeling as if his soul is slightly wounded from this.
He wanted a tip. An actual tip he could spend somewhere.
With a long, exasperated sigh, he turns around after Akutagawa leaves and cleans up that mess.]
