@memoryextrction sent: " You're with me today Chuuuuuya, I hope you're ready. " - lippmann 😂

Ugh. UGH.

The way Lippmann drawls his name makes him instantly pop a vein in his forehead, giving an irritated growl. He's lucky they're on the same damn side sometimes.

"Like Hell I am. You basically cheated and I never agreed to anything anyway, so I don't gotta do shit for you!"

And he certainly didn't want to be around any -- as Lippmann had stated -- flashing lights and paparazzi. Lippmann's blimp-sized ego might find enjoyment in all of that attention from rabid strangers who put all their life meaning into creepy parasocial obsession, but he didn't. It sounded like a damn nightmare to him.

@memoryextrction sent: “ i urge you to remember exactly who it is you’re talking to. because while others might appreciate your tone, i assure you, i do not. ” - iceman

"As if I'd forget." The warning did nothing at all to curb his attitude.

He knew well that the Port Mafia was filled with all manner of dangerous people. Chuuya was no longer the big fish in the pond, a fact he was aware of every moment of the day, but that didn't mean he wouldn't bare his fangs and remind people he wasn't just anyone to be pushed around either.

If he wanted to rise to the top and get his hands on those records, he couldn't be complacent and meek. Act toothless in a sea full of sharks, and one of them was bound to eat him alive.

Iceman might not have been an Ability user like him, but he had a reputation. A reputation -- Chuuya was aware -- that he had managed to uniquely threaten.

"Maybe you need a reminder yourself, that I'm the one person you couldn't kill when we were on opposite sides. You might be a damn fine assassin, but I'm not fucking scared of you."

@whlteflag:

"Yes."

"And you look like you like eating teeth."

[frost-eyed-autumn]

@memoryextrction

"yes!"

"Shut up, paper eater. This entire argument is your fault! Why don't you chase it with some liquid glue next so you can't flap that weird mouth of yours you Tinkle Tankle faerie?"

@memoryextrction " i can't help you if you hide things from me . " - lippmann

"Yeah, well, I don't recall saying I needed any help to begin with! I'm not hiding anything, it's just called dealing with it myself." Jeez, it wasn't as if he was betraying the mafia or anything. He had it handled! He didn't need anyone holding his hand like he was a baby or something. "Don't make it sound so fucking shady."

{--16!Chuuya with Pianoman: Fuck you. Rest is for the weak and I'll work myself half to death with exhaustion if I want to. You can't stop me.

16!Chuuya with Albatross: I'm tired and if you want me to get up and work you're going to have to drag me kicking and screaming from this bed.--}

"I don't need to know to know that I don't want you anywhere near-- HEY!"

He's already snarling aloud like a dog, a continuous growl of warning that rings through his throat all too naturally, even as he tries to twist himself away and shove Dazai off him all at once.

"Get off'a me you fucking freak! No means NO!" It takes him a moment (he's too busy reacting) to fully hear what Dazai says, only for his blood pressure to skyrocket even higher once it registers. "Fuck off you god damned bean pole! One day I'm going to grow taller than you and then you'll really be in trouble!"

((Narrator voice: He did not, in fact, grow taller))

“…And the sky is bleeding.” ( dazai )

"Fuck's sake--"

"How are we supposed to get anything done when you're more baked than an apple pie? What the fuck did you even take? Do I have to call Mori to come detox your stupid ass?"
