[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.

The winner will be provided an amount of chroma equal to what would be generated by the described moonlacing acts, so get creative!

Judges: Dazai Osamu, Nakajima Atsushi


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

Entries due the 14th of next month at one minute til midnight!
Anonymous entries may be messaged directly to the judges via my inbox!
Otherwise post your entry here!

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.]

I think I get it.

[S I G H. He's Dazai.]

If it isn't too much to ask, please be kind to him. I worry.

....He's lonely, isn't he?

[He'd kind of guessed, after their first conversation.]

...we aren't close like you and Osamu or you and the rest of the agency are, and he's always been someone who thrives with support from his friends.

[Atsushi is just a coworker. He can't be called a friend, not yet.]
scarsnstripes: (surprised huh)

[personal profile] scarsnstripes 2020-01-27 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
His friends...

[He'd mentioned 'Sakaguchi Ango', hadn't he?]

I understand. It's hard being here without your friends, especially when it's hard for you to make new ones.

[He's just guessing this is one of this Dazai's problems.]

[One of many.]

Right. I'm doing what I can, but it would mean a great deal to me if you would be patient with him.

Of course I will... and not just because you asked me, either.

[Because goodness knows Atsushi can understand being lonely and friendless.]

And maybe we can become friends eventually, if he's interested.

I hope so. He's my roommate now, so it'd be awkward if you didn't get along at least a little.
