[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??]

[he stares at the ground. then he takes a risk and glances up. and then he immediately looks away from the sky because he is not putting that fortune to the test, all right]
. . . right! Good idea. Maybe somewhere with a ceiling overhead.
[he turns on his heel and gestures for Gaius to follow]
Food's this way. Way better stuff than whatever they feed us in the cafeteria.
no subject
But, point being, the two of them were getting more attention that he liked. Then again...]
Think we could use our 'hero' status to get a discount? Given the attention and all. [Although there probably was some grumbling going on even now, grumbling which would eventually culminate later into a tense snowball fight but for now was just vague grumbling.]
no subject
[but if the status bestowed upon them upon arrival could get them good food at a discount, then. . .]
Heck if I know. Couldn't hurt to try, yeah?
[they totally deserved to milk these shenanigans for what they were worth]
no subject
[Does anyone look gul- awestruck. Awestruck, yes. There's one who looked plausible, but-]
Tater pancakes. [A ways away so that the person wouldn't judge them too hard and/or overhear them.] We could do better, I think. You?
no subject
[that was a thing? he makes a face]
'Course not. How the heck can we be getting fan mail when the most we've done is help set up for a couple of fancy parties?
[but he waves his hand and quickly moves on to address Gaius's second question with a questioning quirk of his eyebrow]
Better than tater pancakes, you mean?
no subject
[...gods, it sounds like he's gonna con her, doesn't it.]
no subject
Why? Afraid he'll jump out from his post in the kitchen to tackle you if you try to pull a fast one over his dutiful employee?
no subject
no subject
Oooi, c'mon. She seems kind. I don't think you have to con her in order to get something out of her.
Just be nice.
[in other words: charm her!!]
no subject
[And he gives the pancakes another look, weighing if it's worth it. Then he shrugs. Then he goes in. They might go in together. Who knows.
Two minutes later he left with two pancakes and the roar of get away from my niece! echoing. Worse, though, another kid runs from that stall to a different stall. The kid clearly has a purpose.
And the ominous cry of a pigeon could be heard from afar since this is now going to be ominous o'clock, but fortunately this isn't above their heads so it can be ignored.]
