[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??]

It's your fortune, trading it doesn't change that it was given to you.
[ And no, only one girl can really tear down Maki's defenses with that puppy dog look. And as far as Maki knows Nico isn't around at the moment. So she merely turns her nose up. ]
I-I'm not going to trade mine for a bad fortune!
no subject
[whiiiiine]
S'not bad! It's just-- [well. admitting that it was a super weird fortune certainly wouldn't convince her, so he tries for something else instead]
It would probably suit someone else better than it suits me.
[that wasn't very convincing]
no subject
She is however sliiiightly curious about what his fortune might have to say. Maybe it's something related to something that a boy just wouldn't understand. So she turns her head back down just a little. ]
...What does it say?
no subject
You really wanna know that badly?
[he pulls the paper back and folds it in half, so she can't just peer at it to read what the fortune says]
You'll hafta trade with me first.
no subject
I-I already said that doesn't work!! [ Her fists ball up a little, but she tries to keep her emotions in check. ]
Besides, mine was already a "great blessing" why would I want one that could be less!?
no subject
[he holds up the folded sheet of paper and winks at her, totally trying to play up the charm angle here. nevermind that he had already straight up told her that he wanted to trade for a "better" fortune than the one he got]
Aaaah, but if that's how you feel, then I s'pose you'll never figure out what it is, huh? Too bad.
I'll have to find someone else who might be interested.
no subject
[ Yeah no, Maki is extremely smart for her age, it's just her level of maturity is lower than perhaps she sometimes thinks she should be.
Luckily, that charm fails swiftly, as Maki only narrows her eyes more, her hands landing on her hips. Yet, she seems to be thinking of something. ]
...Why do you look familiar?
no subject
. . .
What d'you mean, "why do I look familiar?"
[he quirks an eyebrow at Maki, as though he isn't quite sure whether that question is supposed to be serious or not]
We're roommates, remember? We see each other practically ever night at curfew.
no subject
Just like how she didn't recognize Kaito as her roommate. She doesn't even look all that apologetic either upon hearing the truth. ]
I-I thought so. But I just didn't remember your name.
[ She's been a busy girl with all this Hero business being dropped on her, she hasn't had time to learn everybody's name. Or she's just been still a little mad at people seeing her naked. ]
no subject
Kaito! It's Kaito. Not really a hard name to remember.
[:I!]
no subject
[ Aka: maybe you should actually find someone to swap it with, even though that totally doesn't work like that! ]
no subject
[wait. what??? what the heck was his fortune even about??]
no subject
[ Her eyes go a little wide at that threat. If it is a threat. Either way, she isn't going to be happy sleeping in a smelly room. She already has to sleep with boys and now they have ot be smelly as well?! ]
no subject
["Pigeon poop burns the retina for 13 hours. You will learn this the hard way." what a terrible fortune!1]
Thankfully my luck's usually waaaaay better than whatever this dumb fortune is saying.
no subject
Seeing the paper she leans in a little to read it over, before her eyes go wide. ]
Eeeh?! Y-You definitely aren't allowed back in the room!! [ Oh so apparently she changed her mind on whether fortunes are real? ]
no subject
[not that he ever thought it would, he only wanted a new fortune 'cause this one was duuuumb. he folds the piece of paper in half and tucks it back into his pocket. don't worry, roomie, he is pawning this fortune off on someone else later]
'Sides, it's just as much my room as it is yours.
no subject
[ Whether she will actually do anything to stop him from returning... she doesn't seem to be budging from her decision. That's because she's spoiled, and refuses to sleep in a room that smells bad. Plus it's just gross. If it actually happens of course, though she seems to think it's an inevitability now. ]
Don't even think about it!
no subject
[he replies cheekily, because sly rebellious comments were one of Kaito's specialties]
I'm already thinking about it. Not much to be done about that, huh?
no subject
I'm not the only one who has to sleep in that room with you.
[ Yes, she threatening to turn the other two against him, basically. ]
no subject
I don't think No Pants-san and Modest-san are gonna kick me outta my own room that easily.
["No Pants-san" and "Modest-san" being dumb nicknames conjured up for Mikazuki and Lupin, of course.]
[although. . . even as he says that, there's the sudden sound of coo cooing from above. seems like a flock of pigeons suddenly decided now was the most humorously ironic moment to fly overhead]
no subject
I'm sure they'd be happy to know about your nicknames for them.
[ Another threat? Though again, probably the weakest threat ever. Not that Maki knows their names well either.
And that sound? Plenty of warning for her to draw back, hands in front of her. ]
It's him you want, not me!!
no subject
Oi! Oi! Don't sell me out so quickly!
[ROOMMATE BETRAYAL]
no subject
[ Oh yeah, Maki has no qualms about this at all. If someone's getting the short end of the stick today that it's going to be Kaitou. Maybe if he comes back gross she might feel a little bad, but for now she's already running. ]
no subject
[he says, bolting after her, as the pigeons fly harmlessly overhead without leaving any smelly presents for either of them]
[all of that ruckus for nothing]
