[to anyone unfamiliar with these surroundings, the sight might be somewhat intimidating: a large city with a brightly lit museum in the horizon, red and blue cop car lights flashing below and helicopters buzzing up above. but for Kaito?]
[this is his stage]
[although tonight, he has two extra. . . assistants for this particular performance. normally he wouldn't allow anyone but Jii to help him out on his heists (the danger involved in them is very real) but these two? well. they were more than trustworthy, more than capable]
[he sits on the edge of the rooftop of a building adjacent to the museum, legs dangling over the sides, top hat tilted forward ever so slightly and coin-sized communication device in his hand. Yukina and Jay would have received one as well; staying in touch was one of the most important things about a mission like this. he inclines his head slightly, addressing the two with a sideways glance, one eyebrow quirked and mouth curved into a smile]
No cold feet, right?
[because the countdown to showtime has already begun]
[As a general rule, Yukina doesn't condone thievery.
It's a little different when it comes to Kaito, though. She knows him well enough to know that there's a reason for what he does - and, quite frankly, her understanding of the human world is still rather shaky. If he thinks a target is worth stealing from, then she'll defer to his judgment on the matter.
It's why she's here now, communication device in hand, her gaze lingering on the helicopters.]
No cold feet. [Her voice is soft as she confirms it. Cold, though... it would be a simple enough matter to freeze some of the gears and ground those helicopters, but the likelihood of someone getting hurt if she does that is way too high. They'll have to find another way.] Not for us, anyway. ...but anyone who comes after us... may find that their feet are cold enough to be frozen to the ground.
[ jay had been a little prepared for what he'd find in other worlds. he was told, before, what modern japan is like. how busy it is and the great heights of the buildings. but there's a major difference between someone describing something to you and actually seeing it in person.
he doesn't respond to either of them right away, too distracted by all the lights and sound below them. he does manage to tear his eyes away from the sight to look at the other two though, mostly since he doesn't want them to think he's having second thoughts about this. ]
Ready to see if Kaito is really as good at this as he says he is.
[It's hard to tell with Jay, sometimes. But that's part of his charm.
Yukina drops her gaze from the helicopters to glance briefly at both Jay and Kaito before she nods. This is it. ...she'd probably get in trouble if anyone from the spirit realm knew she was stealing from humans, but - it's fine. She's not the first demon to steal. She won't be the last.
Besides, another human is the one heading this up.]
We're ready when you are, Kaito-san. Just say the word.
[ he does not confirm whether he was actually teasing or not, partly because that'll take the fun out of it. ]
Right. You're in charge here.
[ this is his element, after all. it's a little odd to say that, as they have been equal partners in everything they did before. but kaito is the only one who really knows what he's doing here, so he has to call the shots. ]
[sticks his tongue out at Jay, just for good measure. looks like the white suit does nothing for his maturity levels]
The outside may look pretty well guarded, but that's just for show. Inspector Nakamori will have most of his men stationed inside, in the room that holds our target.
[he lifts a hand, gesturing to the left side of the building, one eye squinting shut. all those hours of memorizing the museum's floor plans has come in handy]
There's a hole in this fence on the left side of the building; an entrance in the form of an air vent. [gosh he sure hopes they don't mind crawling through enclosed areas] But we'll need a distraction on the right to make it there unseen.
[he drops his hand again, and it plunges into his pocket to grab. . . something]
Either of you wanna guess what that distraction is?
Well, it's probably a good thing she's not wearing a kimono tonight. That would have been awkward. Yukina nods thoughtfully, and her gaze follows his hand as it snakes into his pocket.
...why does the way he says that fill her with dread?]
[ crawling through a vent is not his idea of a fun time, but it's also more or less what he expected out of something like this, so he can't complain.
he's like two seconds away from making a murder joke at kaito's question, because after undergoing horrible trauma together then obviously you are allowed to joke about it, but then yukina actually gives a serious guess and he just waits for kaito to confirm ot deny it. ]
[. . . THE SAD THING IS HIS PERFORMANCES HAVE BEEN INTERRUPTED BY MURDERS BEFORE 8(]
[he gives his head a small shake at Yukina's guess, though]
Close, but not quite.
[and then, with a flick of his wrist, he produces. . . a box of fireworks!! colorful and very explodey fireworks. how was he fitting those in his pocket. is his pocket hammerspace??]
This'll get their attention. And for some reason, they never quite figure out that it's a distraction tactic.
[what if there's a surprise murder in the museum. what then!!]
...
[Her eyes widen a little at the sight of the box. How... how did he manage to keep those in there, she wonders? ...but with a small shake of her head, she decides not to dwell on it.
There's no time to get distracted now.]
So we just... light them? [This is her first time with fireworks, cut her some slack.]
[ jay deals with rpg hammerspace so like, he doesn't blink when kaito shows them the fireworks.
jay is concerned for a moment about the law enforcement here if they apparently keep getting fooled by the same trick?? that's concerning, but it works in their favor so he's not too worried. ]
It sounds simple enough. Although... you'd think they'd notice the hole in the fence. What lazy upkeep.
