Trick Five! [Text] [Heist Note~]

[nofishplz.livejournal.com]

It would be a waste not to take this opportunity, so let's play a game, shall we?

At 10:30PM on Friday I'll be visiting the Louvre to take the Regent Diamond.

Kaitou Kid~

P.S. I suggest you cover your ears.



((Edit: I forgot to note. This can't be traced back to Kaito's Blackberry... because he stole Conan's and used it to post this.))

Ah, sorry to disturb you. Kid used your phone for the heist notice.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

That was really mean of him, I didn't even realize it was gone.

[stalking_horse]

Yes, well, he couldn't very well use his own; it might give away his identity.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

I guess he can't be too cautious. [Sigh. He is so going to kick something heavy at that thief. Grr....]

Anyway, I guess- [no, not 'we'] You have a heist to prepare for, ne? Can I help?

[stalking_horse]

Of course! After all, you've been there for some of the ones I've missed.

I wonder how the not!people gendarmes and crowds will react to this...

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

I'm at the Louvre now but none of them will listen to me.

[stalking_horse]

Hmmm - it might be just us, then, if they don't react.

I'm on my way there now.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Mello-san will probably want to help!

But isn't that good? Then he won't have a crowd to hide in.

[stalking_horse]

Mello? I've only met him briefly, but I suppose the extra help could be useful.

It does at least limit and tamper with his trick of using crowds and the police themselves for cover - I imagine trying to mimic one of these "people" would be a bit harder than passing for a normal person. It doesn't mean he can't find a way to use them.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

I guess for now we should probably focus on what he means by 'cover your ears.'

[stalking_horse]

On that, we might want to examine the area. I doubt it'd be quite so straightforward as using the alarms, but he will have to be working with the area - and we can probably safely assume he's lacking some of his usual assistance and resources.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Right. But I think we should stick together while going over the area, just so I can make sure he's not disguising as you again.

[stalking_horse]

It's a good idea, and I'm sure you're familiar with the usual ways to check for masks and trickery of that sort.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

You mean Nakamori's famous cheek pulling trick?

[stalking_horse]

Or really anything that would disturb a mask and the makeup used to cover where it blends into the skin. Granted, what he uses is a bit difficult to uncover easily, hence why the Task Force ends up looking like a slapstick routine sometimes, but there are other ways.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

I just assume watch closely and then out him in front of everyone.

[stalking_horse]

That works too. I wasn't exactly in a position to see him mimic me at the heist, so I don't know how well he does it - he's annoying good at it, but then, all it takes is one or two little things off.

It probably works in our favor, really, that "everyone" is a small number.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

....Heist? It wasn't at a heist, it was in Yokohama.

[stalking_horse]

. . . . .

He did it again?

......

What did he do?

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Helping-for once. Though he did make the comment your brain didn't work once.

[stalking_horse]

Knowing him, I'm actually not surprised. Particularly if a more violent brand of criminal was involved.

I'll have to get the full story from you later, sometime.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Right now, I think the present heist notice is more of a concern.

[stalking_horse]

Exactly.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Anyway, we can talk more when you get here, I'll just be by the crown jewels.
