Kaito waves at everyone, Aoko's dove Aoi sitting on his shoulder.

"So! Things have been pretty crap here, yeah? On earth, we have a thing that's becoming popular now where criminals don't get remembered, because they don't deserve the publicity, but the victims do. So like. A-Qing. Remember her name. Yeah?"

He claps, and Aoi vanishes in a shower of confetti.

"But enough of the gloom. I figure most of us could do with a bit of cheering up."

He snaps his fingers, and a deck of cards appears in his hands.

"Hi, I'm Kaito Kuroba, Magician! Ladies and Gentlemen, Robots and Aliens and Assorted Beings! I'd like to invite you to my magic show."

A flick, and the cards turn into an origami rose.

"My Beautiful Assistant will be played by Glorfindel-san, who is a good sport. I can't promise you a Las Vegas style show with all the bells and whistles, but I bet I can still entertain you! I'll put it on in the Cinema Car in about a week."

He bows and the rose turns into Aoi, who flutters back to his shoulder.

"See you all there!"

['Victim erasure'. Haha...ha.....ha. That was part of his job.]

You're making a deal out of something no one wants to have hanging around. A constant reminder of shit that went bad. I don't give a shit what the other people care about, just the girl. She don't need to have her name dug up every time someone thinks 'oh remember that one time...' She doesn't want that!

[Not that...he's actually consulted her about it but he can't imagine he does! Especially after the way she acted when it all went public. She fucking hated that. And Reno didn't want her getting all skittish again because it got brought up one more time.]

[stealsyourheart]

Me? You're the one who jumped me for this dude. I said her name once and moved on. It wouldn't have been a big deal if you hadn't made it one. Literally no one else except you and Missy up there are talking about her.

[theturksway]

Good! Better keep it that way!

[Look, he takes his job very seriously. Even to the point of ridiculousness sometimes.]

[stealsyourheart]

[ Kaito rolls his eyes ]

Again, the only one making a big deal is you.

[theturksway]

[Have a very uncouth bird gesture thrown your way. Kid's old enough, Reno doesn't care, and no one outside of the game carriage can see it anyway (wow, that's not a safe place for this to be thrown...but he's not thinking about that, clearly).]

I'm serious.

[And he sounds it, too. But also ruins it with the petulant action of slamming his fist into the ICP terminal he's standing in front of to turn it off and end the conversation. Smooth, Reno, very smooth.]

[stealsyourheart]

[ Kaito returns the gesture and adds the japanese sign language for stupid asshole because ... it's one of the few signs he knows okay ]

Yeah, like you're not doing just as bad, keeping her locked up like a princess in a castle.

[It's a good thing he already walked away because otherwise he would have more words. Also, she asked him to hide her so nyah! Which...is really tempting to go back and add but he has principles. (No he doesn't he just likes to pretend he does when he feels like it.)]
