[OPEN]
Who: Kaito carptricks and various other people!!
When: Viola (February!) 8 - 10. THE BLOOM FESTIVAL
Where: Around Caissa!
What: As though a magician would pass up the chance to try and charm a captive audience, plz. See also: weird fortunes. See also also: accidental hypnotism.
Rating: None!
Viola (February) 8.
[lights, festivities, revelers and just plain old good fun? now this was the kind of celebration Kaito could really get used to]
Ladies and gentleman and all distinguished festival guests! ♥ Your attention up here, if you will!
[the magician's voice, somehow both commanding and playful at the exact same time, manages to rise above the crackling of the fireworks in the night sky. anyone who heeds the call and looks up will find him perched atop one of the many festival stalls, balancing over the very edge of it like a cat (although naturally, the poor stall owner below is shooting him rather dirty looks). with the eyes of a few Blanc and Ma Jiang natives now trained on him, he lifts a hand and tips his dusty top hat in the air]
A night like this is the sort of night in which magic buzzes through the air like electricity, yeah? But if you aren't paying attention. . .
[he runs his fingers across the brim of his hat and leaps off of the stall, landing on the ground in a graceful crouch (much to the stall owner's relief). he then proceeds to lift a hand, forming a circle in the air with his thumb and forefinger, which he peers through for a moment or two. . . before he blows a puff of air through the hole, which somehow makes a small bundle of flowers appear in his hand!1 there are a few impressed gasps in the crows as Kaito takes an exaggerated bow and hands the bundle to the nearest pretty woman, who flushes red at the attention]
You might miss it, yeah?
[way to spend all that hard earned colle from building snowmen and helping set up for the Bloom Festival on magic props, Kaito!1 if you fancy a few minutes of entertainment, Kaito sticks around to perform a few more hand slights-- mostly small ones involving coins and cards-- for any willing audience member. natives and heroes alike!]
Viola (February) 9.
[if you happen to be near one of the fortune telling booths today, you may just hear a loud groan come from nearby. investigating the origin of that noise reveals Kaito, who is currently leaning against the side of a booth with one hand stuffed in his pocket as he stares at a slip of paper in his other. it's one of the fortunes the fortune-telling booths are handing out. although judging from Kaito's sour expression, the fortune is pretty darn lackluster]
What the heck. . .? 'M not sure you could make sense of this one if you turned it upside down and squinted.
[ah, wait, the owner of that voice is now attempting to get your attention by waving the slip of paper at you]
Yo! You got a fortune, too? Wanna trade? This one's pretty good, y'know.
[he raises his eyebrows and flashes you a wide grin. do you dare see what his weird, nonsensical fortune is or. . . what]
Viola (February) 10 - Closed to Astrid.
[today finds Kaito far, faaaar away from the Bloom Festival activities. it wasn't that he hadn't enjoyed the celebration-- on the contrary, it was the most fun he had allowed himself to have since his arrival. but most of his first week and a half in Caissa had been spent either scoping out the city, pouring over book after book at the library in an attempt to learn more about this world, or trying to earn money for food from various short-lived jobs. the one thing he hadn't done, however, is try to figure out how his fancy new weapon worked]
[so today? today would be "learn how to use this yo-yo so you don't bean anyone else in the head with it, Kuroba" day. as such, Kaito can be found in the courtyard of the Hall of Glory, tossing his yo-yo to and fro as though it were nothing but a simple toy]
As far as weapons go, it's a pretty subtle one, yeah? Most people prob'ly wouldn't even think it's a weapon at first glance.
[he muses this out loud to his carrier, a small arctic fox who sits nearby with her chest puffed out proudly. she merely lets out a small huffy "yip" in reply, and Kaito sighs. this time, when he tosses the yo-yo, he lets it hang by its string near the ground as he idly swings it back and forth-- like a pendulum. he continues to muse his thoughts to himself out loud, totally thinking that he's completely alone, here]
I s'pose the first thing to do is learn how to control it.
[he sure seems to be deep in concentration. bother him anyway??]

no subject
I'm definitely sure! It's right...in there somewhere!
[He was gonna point it out, but it's hard to point out individual cards in a deck? Plus he isn't sure...which one it'd be....but it's in there! He saw it! He knows!!! Instead of pointing he'll just gesture at the deck in general.
Even his carrier is whining in a sort of "why are you asking this" way...]
no subject
[Kaito's hand moves so quickly that even if Hamtaro were watching it, he might not necessarily catch the sleight that happens next. with a flick of his wrist, the magician reaches behind the hamster and pulls out-- gasp!!-- the very same Jack of Clubs that Hamtaro had placed back into the deck just seconds earlier]
[the crowd behind Kaito lets out an impressed "ooooh!"]
I think it jumped straight outta the deck and tried hiding behind you instead.
no subject
Enjoy the confused noises the hamster is making, because he's definitely making them. Kaito's answer doesn't help either, to be honest...]
T-the card's alive!?
no subject
I wouldn't say it's "alive," per se. But it does seem to have a mind of its own, right?
no subject
It does? Was it hiding because it's scared? [Hamtaro waves at the card!] Don't worry, card! I think you're safe.
no subject
I-I don't think that's it.
[he scratches his cheek, sheepish]
The Jack of Clubs is the trickster card, yeah? Likely it's just playing a prank on everyone.
no subject
[So it's a tricky card! Does he know any tricky hamsters?
...All he can think of is Howdy, for some reason.]
I don't know much about pranks, but that was kinda fun! Maybe we can play with Jack again sometime! [Shibe wags his tail, too! Is that agreement or is it something else? You never know with Shibe.]
no subject
Jack is part of a deck of fifty two other personalities. 'M sure he'll pop up again soon enough. For now, you can meet the others.
[he shuffles the cards again, pausing only to contemplate which trick he'd like to do next. in the end, he flips the first card off of the deck and shows Hamtaro the face: Queen of Spades]
For instance, this one's Queen. She's a li'l shy.
[shy?? why shy???]
no subject
She doesn't have to be shy! We're really friendly, I promise.
[So many cards! So many persona lilies? Hamtaro waves at the queen, glances at the other cards, curiously turns back to Kaito:]
Do they all help you with your magic? Like a team!
no subject
[he laughs, and flips the card around to show Hamtaro the back]
She's only shy 'cause she doesn't like to be the center of attention for very long. How about you say hi to--
[and then he flips the card's face back towards the hamster. SOMEHOW, the card's face has ~mysteriously` changed from the Queen of Spades to the King of Diamonds. he definitely didn't pick up a new card from the deck in his other palm, so how in the world did he. . .?]
-- King instead?
