“Depends, if you wanna get your steps you’ll most definitely get it all. The bus works too, but the route takes quite a while to get there, from what I’ve heard.”

“But there is another way that I’ve heard…” One of the mismatched eyes opened, absolutely implying something mischievous. “Supposedly there are some smaller streets and alleyways that’ll cut through most of the trouble. But I haven’t seen them for myself just yet…” 

“Really now?” Hearing about these streets and alleyways caught his intrigue with ease. Usually a mischievous glance from another person would scare off another with ease, but it only made Kaito more curious. He just wanted to find these streets and alleyways for himself! He was a master to shortcuts and escape tactics, after all. So he just needed to find every single one in this city, starting with the more miniscule first.  “Do you have any inidication on where these may be, miss?”

Being someone who deals sarcasm much better than he takes it, Togami’s tolerance for this boy has gone from minimal to zero and is steadily on its way to subzero. Really, this is why he doesn’t go out of his way to help people – it almost always backfires on him. Of course, the boy probably would have figured out how to load and fire the toy gun on his own, but if he had simply minded his own business and passed him by, he wouldn’t have gotten into this mess in the first place. However, though the situation is out of his control, he can easily take it back…by making a hasty exit, conceding defeat (for now). 

“Right. Like I’d fall for such a coincidence.” Rolling his eyes, he fixes the boy with an icy glare…and then turns right around to leave – but not before getting the last word in, of course. “Perhaps you should take your little target practice elsewhere, lest you get into some real trouble.”

“Yeah yeah...” He just nodded at the other’s words. “I plan to do that.” He was almost tempted to tell the other he was used to trouble, actually, he usually got the cops on his tail! But he had to keep his mouth shut. After all, he wasn’t dense enough to tell people he was secretly an infamous phantom thief!  For now, he watched as the other walked off until he was out of sight. Then walked away on his own.

Fascinated by death, perhaps – Gaito was a child, yes, but one who had lived through the unkind. Death was merely an inevitability, an inescapable fate. Those who tempted it were rare, intriguing. Those who avoided it by a hair were perhaps, incredible.

One day, he too would die – one day, everyone breathing would.

Of course, perhaps this place had different laws in place – perhaps, some here were immortal. There were ‘gods’ and godlike monsters back home, surely, the ones who had been alive eons.

But were they ever really ‘invincible’? Even they must have an end – everything’s destiny comes back to that one little thing.

“If you are a magician capable of such a thing, I’m sure I’ll be astounded. Taking your time, of course, must be necessary – you wouldn’t want such a risk to backfire, after all. And I do not wish an early grave for you, either. So, alright, take all the time you need.”

“I sure will!” Kaito said seemingly with confidence, but even as cocky as he was he’d admit he was still a little doubtful about being able to achieve it. Oh well, again, it’ll take time! He’ll still find a way no matter what! For now, he should start planning. He started to walk away from the kid, right before looking back at him with a grin.   “And I promise, I’ll definitely astonish you!”

If Rishid had hair, he would be flipping it. But he doesn’t that much hair and honestly retying his hair tail is a drag so he settles for putting on a glare with arms folded. But he knows this kind of personality, its similar to Malik, his younger brother. Doing the impossible that he can’t help but feel… odd. 

 “If you discover them, will you share those secrets? or take them to the grave.” A honest question, considering that this place might as well be their grave. He’s not that hopeful anymore after a few weeks staying here.  

“Hmmm,” A gloved finger moved across his own cheek to his own chin, as he did, the grin didn’t seem to ebb from his face. “Possibly! But it depends, if it’s beneficial to me getting out of here I won’t say anything, of course!” After all, spilling all the secrets wouldn’t be fun! Playing games and planning surprises was what truly captivated the audience, after all. Though maybe with time, he’ll mention some things. Of course though, it’d be small details and not the full secret.

Not bothering to pay attention to his surroundings, Togami keeps on walking – and he passes by the flier, not even giving it a second glance. It’s not that he’s in a hurry to get out of here (he is); rather, he simply doesn’t have the time to play any silly games, and while he can’t be certain that the boy is going to try anything, his instincts are right on target, so to speak. He knows full well that most pranks aren’t actually harmful or genuinely mean spirited, but for someone as straight laced as he, he can’t help but take them seriously – and more often than not, personally. 

Suddenly, he feels a rush of air blow past his head, hears the ricochet of something hitting paper – and flinches slightly, searching for the source. His eyes dart around and he sees the flier hanging on the wall, slightly dented by the impact; his gaze moves down, down to the ground, where a single foam bullet lies. Blinking once, as if he needs a moment to comprehend the situation – or rather, get a sudden flash of fury under control – he looks up and turns around and is greeted by a wide grin and blue eyes sparkling with mischief, which are promptly met with a scowl. The heir may have an icy exterior, but pranks like this cause him to heat up, and fast. “Didn’t I tell you not to fire that thing at me?”

That reaction he got was a classic! Boy, were these kinds of guys fun to mess with! He wanted to laugh boisterously here and now, but instead it comes off as a chuckle. He’ll save all that laughter for later when the reactions get better!

“Jeeeeez!” He said with long-drawn sarcastic mockery, rolling his eyes to add more to the other’s wound. “I know that! I was just targeting that piece of paper by you that was coincidentally in your direction! I need some target practice, after all! You should lighten up!”

“Something like – escaping death by a millimeter or so.“

Nearly dying but coming out unscathed – a miracle to the eyes, Gaito could still find that incredible. ‘Magic’ – the kind he knew – could still not generally save one from the brink of death.

It was amazing, like they’d changed their destiny.

“I highly doubt just any old magician could do that, after all.”

“Oh, like that...” He turned his head, he couldn’t help but be surprised! While it was something Kaito could agree on, it wasn’t exactly a magic trick like he was expecting! There were moments where he brushed against death,but it was in the case that he was making sure not to fall off balance, avoid bullets, and avoid danger. Though he could plan an escape, he’s never gotten the chance to try to fight death. “There’s magicians that have escaped from areas that you wouldn’t think would be inescapable and survived dangerous tricks but... death?” That made him ponder, just how would he make a trick that’d make him nearly die but he’d be able to avoid it? It seemed like a huge risk taker. As much of a risk taker as Kaito was he wasn’t willing to go that far for a trick. ...Or was he? All of a sudden, that over-confident attitude that Kaito always had showed up. He could possibly try to find a way, after all, he was one of the best magicians! Maybe, just maybe this could be a chance to improve! But of course, he was going to try his damnest to plan this with precision and take baby steps. He wasn’t going to go and do something reckless in a few seconds!  “I could try- but it’ll take me a long while to think of a trick that'd even involve that!”

“They’re not that great.”

A little bit, magic reminded him of a time he disliked remembering. Prone to outbursts, thinking he was better off alone. But what chilled his spine, was how his anger had let…

Karma, it was karma. That child had wronged him, but he shouldn’t have let… Don’t think about it too much.

Nonetheless, there was real magic, after all. It would have to be amazing… “You’d have to show me something quite incredible to impress me.”

A slight drop in mood showed up when his favored magic tricks were called boring, however, a boost showed up instantly at the challenge.

“Oh, like what?” Those words couldn’t help but make Kaito more eager to try to impress this kid. “I’d love to know just what you mean by incredible. I could possibly make it happen!”

Togami watches the boy load the bullets into the toy gun, raising a thin eyebrow as he does so. While he seems innocuous enough, there’s something about the seemingly mischievous grin that spreads across his face and disappears just as quickly that’s almost offputting – as though he’s up to something. It’s an expression the heir’s seen several times in the past, whenever the class clowns were up to some stupid prank or another – one that he was too often the target of. And so, he can’t help but bristle a bit; perhaps he shouldn’t have warned him about firing the toy after all, as that often spurs troublemakers on instead of deterring them. 

Really, even if the boy isn’t suspicious, he has no reason to stay here; his job is done, and for once, he’s not expecting any thanks – for even if he does get it, he’s sure it won’t be genuine. “I would hope not. I’m sure you can figure out how to fire it, then.” And with that he takes his leave, walking away at a brisk pace; even if he’s not intentionally trying to escape any possible dastardly plans (he is), his long legs help to put distance between the two of them. He’s surely dodged a bullet – or so he thinks… 

“Yeah, I can! It’s not a problem.” Kaito’s eyes fixed on the trigger of the NERF gun, then he glanced over at the man now making his leave. The other’s serious attitude only made the desire to mess with him grow stronger. Of course, he wasn’t going to shoot him with the NERF gun. He’ll keep that promise. However, he’ll make the guy jump a little. The guy’s attitude only encourages him to be a trickster.

Now eyeing a flyer taped up on one of the walls, he decided to make his next move. The flyer seemed to be about a job opportunity, but quite frankly, Kaito wasn’t paying attention to the flyer because of what was on it. He was waiting for the man to step close to it, then he’ll make his move... Those footsteps moved closer and closer, it seemed like forever to Kaito, but he knew it’d be worth the wait! Or hoped, anyway. Kaito kept a good gaze on the other’s footsteps for a while. Then, when he was right near this flyer, Kaito pulled the trigger and the foam bullet brushes past the other’s hair and hits the flyer! Though much to Kaito’s dismay, these bullets did not seem to stick onto things... It fell right onto the ground as soon as it hit it. But oh well, Kaito was more excited for the reaction in store!

there was something about this man, that puts him on Edge. By no means Rishid is a inferior thief. Its just a matter of principles now that settle into him. That made him a better person then any thief would  be. 

 He eyes the other for a moment. His motives are perhaps, too obvious right now. But this is a island, and as long as there is no escape into the main land. Anything stolen here…would still technically belong to the island. 

 “Taking it out or not, the jewel is still trapped within the island no matter what you do. Its useless to even try unless your looking for the thrills of it. “

How would that be? Kaito couldn’t help but wonder... Sure, he did hear some rumors about the island being ‘inescapable’ when he had just gotten there. But was it really inescapable? The inescapable didn’t terrify Kaito, his magic abilities were on par with Houdini’s. If Houdini could escape from a seemingly impossible situation, then Kaito could too.

But actually? Kaito’s abilities may be on a higher level than Houdini’s... Or so, Kaito believed.  He truly didn’t think that this island would hold him down, even with it’s hard to break barrier. He’ll get to that barrier later, but not right now, he’ll be here to chat and look for that jewel he may desire. With a cheshire grin showing up at the last line the man had said, Kaito spoke with confidence.

“I’m always looking for a thrill. Even if this won’t be the jewel I’m looking for, I’m starting to get excited about the mysteries of this island alone.”

@hereditariae

Taking notes of the woman beside him, he couldn’t help but catch interest in her. Something about her felt different, but he couldn’t quite place his finger on what it was. Either way, he wasn’t going to let her just slide away just yet. 

“Hey, do you come here often?”

[diamondphantasm-blog]

@requiemcount

“Huh...” Kaito was pretty shocked, usually people enjoy his magic tricks but this time he had an observer hard to please! He’s tried the usual card tricks, making things appear with the snap of his fingers, and even tried summoning some pigeons but he didn’t get much of a reaction... He couldn’t help but wonder, just what kind of magic would be impressive to this kid? As tempted as he was to ask, he didn’t want to give up! He’ll find a way to surprise him, and that was a promise! “Guess you’re too used to seeing magic shows?”

“The apartment complex…?” Her finger tapped thoughtfully against her cheek at the question. She was somewhat surprised she would approached for such a question- not that she’s out here to make enemies, but she didn’t exactly radiate friendliness either. Or maybe the years are getting to her.

She had wandered about to familiarize herself ( though traversing the whole city and hopefully knowing its little pathways and tricks was a long term project for sure ), and so this ward was still rather new to her. Thankfully her paths have mostly stuck to where the populace went, and she did pass by what she assumed was the housing. 

“Hmmm… I guess I do. You’re an awful ways away from there. I doubt you want me to repeat how may turns and crosses you have to take, but I also don’t really want to come back from the way I came….” There was the suggestion of a reward hanging in the air; despite all her talk, she would’ve been just fine just taking him, but where was the fun in that?

That wasn’t the set of answers Kaito was expecting from this, he was a little disappointed... But he won’t give up here and now! After all, he did feel an interesting vibe with her, so why give up now?  “So,” He chimed, “How far are we talking here? A few miles? Or will I have to take a bus to get to the apartments? I’ll be willing to walk if it’s not too far.”

Rishid work as a delivery man brought him to many places he did not expect to go. A museum for instance, showing  exhibit of Japan natural destinations and unnatural man made ones. The tokyo tower was one exhibit and he takes his time. There weren’t much business today and so he has the time to walk around. His pony tail swaying in the non existing wind.

But everything was too shiny for him to get a grip on what was real or not. After all, Despite having live in Japan for quiet a while, it took him a long time to get used to how excess everything was compared to his home country of Egypt.

But wherever Malik goes, he went.

A mysterious man, the markings of a thief! He would know since he used to be one as well. His distinc fashion also made him stand out with a top hat and a monocle. Honestly that was a rookie mistake with top idiotic punishments waiting to happen.

Arms cross as he looks to the young man.

“I used to be a thief.” He admits honestly. “So I know your looking for something.“

Damn! This guy sure caught him red-handed! But then again, the only true way to get to know someone is to follow a similar path, so it did make sense how an ex-thief would know a phantom thief. But at least this guy wasn’t planning to call the cops, right? Kaito of course didn’t know for certain, nor did he know the other’s true motives. That’s why Kaito won’t show his true motives and his goals, especially to a complete stranger! As a line passed on from generations stated, “Always keep your poker face.”

“I just may be, I’m looking for a certain gem. If it’s the one I’m looking for, I’ll take it. If it’s not? I’ll keep it in the museum like it’s never been touched. That’s my rule.”

It’s only for a split second that he thinks this boy is waving around a gun – while the shape may be ever so slightly similar to a real firearm, the garish colors are certainly not. No, it’s nothing but a children’s toy – but still, it’s better to be safe than sorry; he can certainly see someone much more impulsive than he is only catching a glimpse of the toy, overreacting, and causing mass panic in the streets. Considering what some of the people that he’s seen in Spirale were like, perhaps it would be best to take care of this before things grew out of hand…

“I would assume like a real gun,” he coolly replies, arms crossed, omitting any admission that he’s never actually fired, let alone held a gun before himself; in fact, he isn’t even sure why he’s bothering to speak to this boy – not out of the kindness of his heart, of course, but perhaps because he’s curious what the outcome of all this fuss will be. “Simply load the bullets into the chamber and pull the trigger.” A pause, and he turns his icy gaze to meet the other’s own – “You’d better not even attempt to fire that thing at me, though, or you’ll sorely regret it.”

Footsteps brought Kaito’s attention to the man in front of him, Kaito noted that the man took him a little too literally - but oh well, Kaito can play an act with ease. “Oh, right..!” He exclaimed, pulling out some of the foam ‘bullets’ that he hadn’t placed in the gun just yet. “So, I guess I put them in one by one... Like this...” As he did, he slowly placed the extra ‘bullets’ in. “Seems easy!” He grinned, however, that grin disappeared from sight when he had been given that threat.  “Wasn’t planning to do that...” Jeez, maybe some events do repeat themselves, Kaito was beginning to think. But never did he expect to deal with a similar accusatory smart guy like the one who seemed to follow him everywhere he went...  Though maybe this wasn’t that bad after all! He could probably find a way to poke fun at him one way or another... Something told him that this guy would be easy to mess with.
