[The next time Dick opens a door, he'll find himself stepping into a large, lavish office instead, with one wall entirely windowed and looking out into the sky. He'll have to get closer to see if there's anything else visible-- they look like they're pretty high up, right now.
There are a few plush chairs in front of that window, and Chuuya's seated in one, looking a little amused as he gestures for Dick to enter.]
[ he's looking around in curiosity, and, unlike his nude he is, unfortunately, fully clothed. alas. he walks over to the window to try and see what's out there. ]
Higekiri gave me the idea. I take my petty rebellion where I can get it. [ he's peering out for a second before: ] Carlos and Polly say hi, by the way.
[ since he like. saw them. yesterday. having extra rules sure is a thing that is happening to him? he assumes chuuya knows about it already, but. ]
[ cool, more pocket dimensions. this is fun and not at all confusing.
he looks amused at the polly thing because uh honestly that is a mood from the one bitch in the party who's too weak to murder ]
Both. [ he taps the window with his knuckles as if to test something before turning back to Chuuya ] I was testing it out, and I wanted to make sure you and Nathan were in the know about the extra rules I've got, since I'm supposed to be the... middleman between you guys and Carlos. [ who's polly. ] And then one more thing came up.
[ he leans a bit against the window, arms crossed. keeping his back open to a window isn't something he'd normally do, but this isn't exactly a normal place. ]
A vision. [ one he, uh, clearly, didn't appreciate ] It's not the first time something's messed with my brain and made me see things [ bad ], but the feeling I got after it was... new.
[ honestly, he'd been hoping chuuya would not be surprised and would just go "oh yeah, ghosts, am i right", but he mostly expected it. it doesn't stop the frown on his face from deepening. ]
Visions of myself getting murdered in a similar fashion to how Carlos was. [ again: who's polly, but also, y'know. gorefests. ] It's not the first time I've been given visions that aren't pleasant, but this felt like it lingered longer than usual for me. And... [ he looks thoughtful ] I felt... convinced that if I didn't sleep with someone, I'd die. Which-- which yeah, I know, that's our main problem right now, but-- I hadn't exactly been concerned for myself until then.
[ because he's a slut who offered to spread 'em for everyone, ]
[ this is... so bad. he runs a hand through his hair, giving a half-shrug ]
Yes? I told people they could come to me if they needed it, and I-- [ like feeling compelled is an excuse, dick's better than that, he's been trained, god-- ] I'm an idiot, apparently!
Whether I'm safe or not is not my highest priority right now. [ bullshit hero here, hello ] Any way to keep me in the know if you figure something out?
Stop back by sometime this week-- give me a day or two to work on this first, maybe, but if you check back in I'll hopefully have better information for you.
If I figure anything out earlier, I'll try and get a message to you if anyone else makes an appointment.
[ he lets out a slow breath. he's bad at the waiting for intel from someone else thing-- always has been-- but he's also used to it, so it's not like he can't handle it.
he just. y'know. thinks he gave demon aids to someone so that's Fun ]
Alright. Thanks. [ ... ] And what happens if it's not just something messing with me?
... Right. [ he looks back outside the window, frowning. ] Right. Okay. I'll... try and see if I hear anything about anyone else having one of these visions.
