Kaito grimaced as he started waking up to a dull pounding in his head, and soreness as he tried to sit up. ‘Tried’ being the word, because the next thing he became aware of was the fact his arms were bound, and small pulling told him the same for his wrists and legs. It took longer than he would have liked to open his eyes and get them focused, though not much to be seen, really. The room was empty, save for a vacant chair.

…Didn’t know whether he should be worried, or relieved he wasn’t tied to a pole with a machine hooked up to his head. …Or, you know, any person that looked like they were going to hurt him, even if whoever did this clearly didn’t have the best intentions. Hard not to think of the first time he’d been knocked out on the street  with this sort of situation, though… Nope. No, probably shouldn’t think too hard on that. Focus on this time. Don’t panic either.

Of course there was a door. Locked, more than likely, and no windows, but might as well check it…

…Once he felt like he could move without a wave of nausea passing over him. That didn’t feel good in the slightest. Yeah… should wait a bit before getting up and trying anything. Ugh…

Yes, yes he is buying a convenience store bento. Doesn’t care how weird it might seem to some people, he just doesn’t want to use more of the assassin’s money than he needs to. Which was hard, when the guy didn’t have much to do or eat at the hotel. Probably meant he ate out often… Jeez, make it hard a magician, sure.

Okay, he’s out. Hadn’t really taken him long to figure out where he was, either, once he found a subway station, and really, he could technically walk home. Just about a few hours away on foot. …Which was unnerving, as it meant an assassin was fairly close to him, but good to know right now.

…Though, it was hard to guess if the other would still be there. Kaito… had been a bit wary of going out when more wisps were showing up from time to time, and it took some time to figure out they appeared because of his emotions. Funny, since he’d been trying to keep some of his poker face after a while, but it seemed these didn’t care for how he looked, just how he feltMuch harder to hide, that.

So the magician hadn’t come out until he could get whatever those were under control, and that meant… well, he wasn’t entirely sure what to do now. Could go find his house and wait. Or hang around the hotel until Spider showed up. Either way, though, he just knew he didn’t want to hang around inside the place, so he’d decided to step out for air and to learn his location. But with knowing how close he was…

Kaito sighed, glancing down at the still dark skin of his hand before looking up at the hotel he now knew he was staying at.

…Now what?

Sleepy kitty thief is just going to… curl up against the nearest person and nuzzle. Seems cuddle mood is up too. …And now he’s even hugging. Well, at least his ears are hidden, though the tail appears to have escaped and is lazily waving.

MA: *poof* you are now a little kid like Conan

“Little… wait, what?”

The thief blinked and took half a step back before a spasm tore through him, causing him to gasp and double over in pain.

What the he-?

Another wave of pain forced his eyes closed and he fell to a knee, though it wasn’t too long before he lay down on his side, hands clenching his arms as he curled into himself and gasped for air. Oh kami, was this seriously what tantei-kun felt like when he shrank? It felt like his blood was boiling from the inside and his all of his muscles were pulling him at once. Kid didn’t even notice the steam coming out where it could from under his clothes as he tried to block out everything that currently hurt, but he eventually became too much and his body released it’s tension as he lost consciousness, curled up under his cape and unaware as his clothes slowly sagged around his shrinking form and the monocle fell off of his face.

Kaito grinned and pressed the play button for the music to start on his laptop before stepping back and taking a breath, trying to keep from bouncing because, well, that comes later~

A few seconds in and the music started to get louder, and, okay, now bounce a bit as he moved his arms, almost as if testing how they worked and shifting his weight from one side, then the other, until he put his arms out to the sides completely. And the beat started.

The magician took a step forward, one hand coming up in front to one side, then mirrored it on the other side with another step, and now spread out again as he spun around. And he kept flowing into one movement, then the next, from turning hips to hand motions.

And it was just the beginning~

“♪ Hajime to owari no iranai imi. Kono kokoro jouhatsu e to~”
Dare ga hinsei o oboeteru ka? Kyouki no mado kara, sayounara~ ♪" He sang, one hand now on his hip as it swayed and he waved and flipped the other hand in the air above his head.

He may have released the animals from various pet stores and some from a zoo… So if there’s talk of a tiger running around, it’s not a costume. It’s what happens when he gets bored. At least they’d managed to put out that fire in one of the stores he’d looked in and suddenly decided he wanted to practice breathing flame…

But minor chaos happenings aside, he’s a bit tired. And he’s just going to rest for a moment in the park. In a tree. Well, certainly much easier than a hotel, he’ll admit, but not quite as private… Oh well. He wouldn’t be here too long anyway.
