Not psychic, necessarily. For example, I have the ability to disable the abilities of others. Usually. This place doesn't really allow for it.

And I mean that Dazai Osamu is my actual name.

[very_good_end]

Please! If it's not relevant, don't mention such things to me. It is... not needed for my investigation.

...Are you serious? You just happen to have the same name as the pseudonym of the famous author?

[cw_suicide]

I'm not aware of any author by this name. It's pretty unique, so obviously I'd remember if that were the case.

1/2

...

[Erika's not sure what to say to that. So she pauses for a moment.]

One is an aberration, two is a trend...

[very_good_end]

...Tell me. Does the name 'Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald' mean much to you?

[cw_suicide]

Oh, him? He's one of the people my Agency had some issues with. I'd be careful with that one, even if he's a bit on the idiot rich side of things.

[very_good_end]

[slight hesitation as she prepared herself for further headaches]

--Yes, him.

What sort of issues, if you don't mind me asking?

[cw_suicide]

Hmm... well, he had this group of ability-users from America who called themselves The Guild. They basically threw all of Yokohama into chaos. So much so that the Agency had to work with the Port Mafia to put a stop to it...

It was a big mess.

[very_good_end]

...Do you have any evidence?

[cw_suicide]

Sadly, he's my only evidence and he probably doesn't even know who I am. We've never actually met before this.

[very_good_end]

Then it's irrelevant for purposes of this investigation... unless you plan to vote against him, or vice-versa.

[cw_suicide]

I don't think he'll have much reason to vote against me as long as he doesn't know I'm with the Agency.

As for my votes, I'm more interested in sticking with the plan that will kill the least.

[very_good_end]

Truly? I have to wonder. If this Mr. Fitzgerald was such a fiend as to send an entire city into chaos... would you really not do away with him, perhaps under the thinking of doing a public service? Or, perhaps, you are under the impression that he is neutralized as a threat?

[cw_suicide]

I wouldn't say neutralized, but I don't see him as a major threat. Especially if he also isn't able to use his ability.

[very_good_end]

--Not a major threat, but a threat nonetheless?

Tell me this then, Dazai-san. Do you believe Mr. Fitzgerald possessing a quality of character where he would deviate from a vote? Do you think he could have been one of the votes that was not for Ticky Mikk this round, in your professional opinion?

[cw_suicide]

My professional opinion? He's in it for himself, so why would he jeopardize his livelihood with votes like that?

Though I won't say it's outside the realm of possibility.

[very_good_end]

...Who knows?

Thank you very much, Dazai-san. One final question. This colleague who you said also refers to themselves as a 'great detective,' may I hear their name?

[cw_suicide]

Oh, him? Edogawa Ranpo.

[very_good_end]

[OF COURSE]

...

[at least it wasn't Agatha Christie.]

Thank you very much. I shall, of course, call on you further if I see the need, Dazai-san.

Until then, bonsoir.
