Seems the masked man is wandering about the streets, cape back to normal and cane back in his hand as he looked around.

“Eight, seven, six, five. Let’s see what else I can contrive~”

Well, while he had the options open to him being an actual magician this time, he may as well use them~
Unfortunately, he was also limited in certain respects as well… Before, he’d had others to assist him; someone helping to plan all of the ‘miracles’… Now it was just himself, though it wasn’t too bad of a trade off…
The man spun around lightly on one foot, looking out over the city from his lovely view from the Touto Tower, humming to himself and spinning the cane around a hand.

“Of course the real fun will have to wait for tonight… but perhaps, a bit of a warning for what’s to come? He does like to leave calling cards, after all…”
The masked figure stilled the cane and held it out in front of him, end aimed out ahead before it swung to face the ground and was placed firmly and purposefully down with a clang. Slowly, all the lights on the tower flickered off, and a wave of blackness spread around the building as the other illuminations died down, until the only lights left were from the cars below and what little glow was coming up over the horizon.
The metal stick was taken back up and swung around the side until he held it between both hands, swiftly collapsing the cane to extend the cape into wings.

“Halloween is all about surprises, isn’t it?~” He commented, spreading the hands apart to let small business card sized papers flutter and get taken away by the wind to fall to the ground below. The only things on them being a picture of the Mask of Chaos that he wore and the words ‘Trick or Treat?’, ‘or’ being crossed out and replaced with ‘and’. After a moment of watching them descend, he crouched and easily jumped off the tower himself, circling some before pressing a button so that small cannons shot out from the very top of the building, spreading more of the cards in all directions. It wouldn’t cover all of Tokyo, of course, but they should still get people’s attention.
And then, with a grin forming behind the mask, he finally flew off. He only had one day, and he planned to make the most of it for now.


“Yes~ Seems this one acts on that principle quite a bit as well.Though less for glory and more for gamboling with what will happen, but that suits me even better~”

“Only one of them was dangerous last time, Ms. Altava. Well, and that final puzzle I gave Layton, if you count that. And there’s no reason to do something like that here…. for now. Though I can’t say whether or not there could be property damage. You know how people can be when something comes in to disrupt their normal lives~”

“The hours after midnight before everyone wakes up are always so quiet and peaceful… Such a shame. We should fix that.”

“Can’t say I’ve ever understood why people include vowels after the apostrophe for this meme… M’racles is how it should be done~”

“I may have been planning one or two miracles, yes… Why? Did you have a suggestion, or are you just impatient to see one?~”
(Since I did a thing to explain DarKai, I should do the same for MG Kid. First and foremost, the Masked Gentleman is from the Professor Layton universe, for those who may not know, and information on him can be found here. It’ll mention if you actually want to know more, as he is a very spoilery character… And if he interacts with Layton characters here, he may recognise them.
Kai being MG, he’ll still have his own memories, but consider it like he’s temporarily possessed by the spirit of MG.For the Layton verse, he’d only know the things he did while wearing the mask, and he is not the same person underneath the mask as in the game. He’ll act like, and have some memories of, the Masked Gentleman in Layton, but he’s in the Magic Kaito world with a new person to be.
In general, he likes causing chaos, making people scared, though not necessarily actually bringing harm to them. Especially since Kai still wouldn’t allow it and there’s no real need. He can talk with people fairly normally, but he’s kinda creepy in general. Which is why he’s perfect for Halloween~
Also…

How could I not?~)

(“That… would be… challenging, I suppose…”
“…And wide.”
“…Unless of course I just kept it to the head and wore a body suit to match the colour…”
“…Would the pumpkin still need to actually be able to flicker?”)

(“Sounds like fun~ Though… I doubt I’d be making much use of that beautiful sword. Very nice for show, though~”)
