[Welcome a new face to Prismatica! He looks a little timid, but he straightens up and smiles before launching into things.]

Hello! I'm Dazai Osamu, famous author and fashion icon... well, back home! To be honest, I just got here, and I don't know many people. So... an acquaintance of mine said I should make an effort to meet people... even if it's kind of scary...

Anyway, writing is a great icebreaker, right? I won't judge any amateur efforts, but please check the attached for details! And don't forget me, even if you don't participate!

[Attached is a flier with details on the... well, it's marked nsfw miraculously and you should be glad because emblazoned across the top of it are the words DICK LIT in all caps and brilliant red. The text is as follows:]

(And Other Moonlacing Stories)
In honor of the absent Sakaguchi Ango, a Decadent endeavor!
The first literature contest of its kind!
Challenge yourself!

Rules: All entries must be written. They may be poetry or prose, or other written content. All entries must pay tribute to something relating to moonlacing, and may, at your discretion, cover Adult Themes.

Judges: Dazai Osamu, Nakajima Atsushi


[He keeps adding attachments as the day goes by:]

Anonymous entries may be messaged directly to the judges via my inbox!
Otherwise post your entry here!

You asked one of the other Atsushis to judge this?

[...because of course, he didn't ask this Atsushi, so he obviously has to be referring to somebody else.]
tigerpoet: outer smile (⊙ like the neon lights)

[personal profile] tigerpoet 2020-01-27 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
It would normally be polite to ask first before volunteering someone as a judge, yes...

[personal profile] tigerpoet 2020-01-27 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
You're giving me too much credit...

Speaking of winning, can you really afford to pay out the prizes for this?
tigerpoet: outer smile (⊙ and then the tiger spoke)

[personal profile] tigerpoet 2020-01-27 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[The world's heaviest sigh.]

I suppose I can cover it. If only because promising a reward and not being able to give one wouldn't help your attempts to make friends here.

Absolutely not. I didn't sign up for this.

[Just clarifying here.]

I read practically everything I could get my hands on growing up, and still do. I even read Atsushi-san's work.

[Listen he doesn't want to judge this mess but he doesn't like the way Dazai is implying he has no taste!]

But I'm not a writer. I've never written anything in my life.
scarsnstripes: (oh..)

[personal profile] scarsnstripes 2020-01-27 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Dazai's opinion is bad, probably.

To be fair though, Atsushi doesn't consider himself very cultured either, after being raised in an orphanage and all. And he's certainly not cut out for writing things like this, especially when he blushes deeply at Dazai's suggestions, waving a hand in front of him in protest. He's so easily flustered, even after so long in Lunatia.]


A-An ode to-- no! I-I wouldn't be good at stuff like that, I think.

I feel like I should be apologizing to you anyway...
scarsnstripes: (why this)

[personal profile] scarsnstripes 2020-01-27 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure whether to be insulted by him or not right now, honestly.

[He just implied he had no taste.]

And there's nothing you need to apologize for.

I promise that he means well? He just, um.

[...yeah he's got nothing.]
scarsnstripes: (2n5CebW)

[personal profile] scarsnstripes 2020-01-27 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
I think I get it.

[S I G H. He's Dazai.]
tigerpoet: outer upset (⊙ in places least expected)

[personal profile] tigerpoet 2020-01-27 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
If it isn't too much to ask, please be kind to him. I worry.

I don't even know who this person is. Is he really Dazai-san?
tigerpoet: outer neutral (⊙ so many times it happens too fast)

[personal profile] tigerpoet 2020-01-27 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Dazai Osamu, author of No Longer Human and many other masterpieces of modern Japanese literature. Also my coworker and now roommate.

[he feels like he should apologize.]
moonlightalter: (75)

[personal profile] moonlightalter 2020-01-27 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Of course.

[Of course he's a writer too.]

Can I come over and bug you for his books later? I'd like to read them.
tigerpoet: outer smile (⊙ on the dreams of the past)

[personal profile] tigerpoet 2020-01-27 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
You can always come over. I only have one of his books with me, but it's one of his best.
moonlightalter: (45)

[personal profile] moonlightalter 2020-01-27 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Is it 'No Longer Human'?
tigerpoet: outer neutral (⊙ good kid)

[personal profile] tigerpoet 2020-01-27 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
It is. It's a heavy piece, not very good for light reading, I'll warn you now...
