Fifteenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ not too far from the inn, Kazuha is taking inventory of... a bunch of omamori and various assorted charms. ]

Mmm... it feels like a lot more people need these than the last time I did this. But I didn't think I'd still have all of these from the trips and the time Heiji got sick and everything... I was going to give the innkeeper one, too, but... maybe Ai-chan will want one.

-- Aha, I remember these! They were supposed to be for good luck and keeping anything bad from happening, and this one was for getting lost, but I bought that one before I came here.

... Obviously didn't work.

((Just strolling through fuck-my-canon lane, but if you're a friend of hers and you haven't gotten an omamori yet or you just feel like chilling with her, feel free to hit her up.))

I guess he wouldn't be a good magician otherwise.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... True. He'd need to be a little mysterious, wouldn't he?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

For the stage appeal!

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

I know he's mentioned to me before that it adds charm.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... I wonder if that's why Kaitou Kid does it.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Could be. Sounds like it if the stories he tells me about that person are all true.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I've never actually met him, but the stories about him are incredible.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I kind of wonder if he exaggerates and makes his stories sound even more impressive since he's such a big fan... but truth can sometimes be more amazing than fiction.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I can tell you for sure that he caused a city-wide blackout.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... Just for a heist?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

It was a pretty valuable item! Not to mention the police from different districts get involved, so security's really tight.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... How daring. And he got away?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I guess so, since he's still pulling heists. Heiji chased after him and got himself landed in the hospital.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

-- How did he get himself hurt?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... The idiot wasn't looking where he was going and got hit by a car.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

...

I-I see. You must really have your hands full with him.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That's usually how it is with childhood friends. And ones that end up being detectives are twice as hard.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... I'm sure he's grateful for it, though.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

He just never says it.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Guys can be like that.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Humongous idiots?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... Something like that.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

It's too bad they don't have a cure for that.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

That'd make it too easy.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

And we can't have that.
