PSA:
Just because I’m not replying to our thread, or your starter doesn’t mean I don’t want to roleplay with you. I’m just slow. Somedays I can write a fucking book, somedays I can’t even write my own name. It’s in the drafts I promise I am just slow as hell.

Oh god. Those things. Why did they have to be here? He’d agreed to come with Aoko to this party, but… Would’ve been nice to know about the pets before hand. And the aquarium was quite large.

The magician tugged at Aoko’s sleeve, leaning in so that no one else would hear him.

“…Let’s get out of here…”

“I know, I know. It was reckless, you would have probably been fine, I might have wasted your efforts at trying to allow me to escape by coming back. He can’t actually kill you, unless he just wants to ask for trouble… But damn it, tantei-san, you shouldn’t just casually push me off the building to make sure I leave, even if I do have the glider… Even if you didn’t want me to have to deal with Spider…”

Kid paused his worried pacing to glance over at the detective, whose eyes were closed and breathing was even. He was fine. They both were fine. The thief hadn’t known if imitating Nakamori’s voice to pretend the task force was coming would work, but it seemed it had. The assassin hadn’t been there when he stepped out… but Hakuba sat slumped against the wall, immediately drawing the thief’s attention as he rushed over to check for signs that the other was okay. No bleeding and still had a heartbeat, thank god. He’d waited a few moments before taking the radio out of the teen’s pocket and making an actual announcement, in his own voice, that the detective had met with some trouble on the roof and might need help.

And then, instead of rushing off, he’d waited, walking back and forth, muttering to himself. He wanted to be sure they actually did come.

Kid stared a minute before walking back to the teen and kneeling down. They should get here soon, so he might as well actually get out of sight now…

“…Sorry I came back after that…” A pause and he leaned in to give a gentle hug to the detective, voice falling into a whisper, “But I loved you too much.”

Surprise, surprise… tantei-kun had found out the gem in the display was a fake. How completely unexpected. Well, at least the small detective hadn’t seen the case opening itself and letting out a burst of colourful paper to clear the area.

The task force-disguised thief grinned from his post near the wall, beside Ran, leaning over and falling back to his normal voice soon after his trap had gone off.

“Oh, it’s just beginning~” He purred, and with a quick snap of his fingers, the room got dark. Then, a small light came on, just under the stone, a laser, which bent within the gem and exited to the exact right side. Couldn’t work with the normal jewel, of course, and the fake was fairly easy to see through because of this, but it would be worth it. He already had the real gem anyway, and this had been more for fun, since the target was a bit too small to hold Pandora anyway.

The beam of light hit a sensor he’d placed earlier and light returned, in small spotlights scattered through the ceiling as a wash of pink petals slowly drifted down.

Ok, really, did she think running would actually work with him? He’d gotten that piece of cake for himself and, while he was perfectly willing to get her one too, she could have at least asked before taking the plate and fleeing with it.

The magician hadn’t run after her, though. More likely to end in a mess that way. No, he just guessed the route she’d take, silently making his way there, smirking when it seemed she hadn’t noticed, too busy looking to see if he’d followed. Well, he had, in a manner of speaking…

Kaito quietly walked up behind her and leaned in next to her ear, hands lightly held behind his back.

“You can’t get rid of me that easily~”
