[33-- Video/Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Sometime before twilight on Tuesday afternoon, amidst the booths and celebrations and festivities of the Johto-wide festival in Goldenrod City, Kaito climbs his way to the top of a streetlamp post. Those of you watching may notice he's standing on the small surface with near-perfect balance as he twirls a black top hat in his hand. Biz, his Aipom

[Romano had watched the performance from the beginning. At first he didn't think it would have been worth his time, but after seeing the show in its entirety, he could admit that what he had just seen was amazing.]

[But what had impressed him most, besides the fireworks and the MAGIC and the awesomeness of it all was Kaito. As a performer he captured Romano's complete attention and held it longer than ten seconds.]

[...Though, he wondered vaguely how much black magic was involved, if any...]

[Hello Romano! Have a Kaito peering at you suspicious for a few moments, before he catches that look of wonder on your face. Then, he breaks out into a smug grin]

So? What'd you think?

ffff fail xDD;; [video!]

[piccolo_tomate]

[Romano is still seeing OMG AWESOME MAGIC TRICKS SO COOL b-but he comes back down enough to... attempt to look disinterested.]

...I-It was... i-interesting.

[video!] just making sure! XD

[bakaitoukid]

Was that the first magic show you've ever seen?

[video!]

[piccolo_tomate]

[YES]

Uh-Uhmm..... ....maybe...

[video!]

[bakaitoukid]

Consider yourself lucky. You got to see the best perform first.

[video!]

[piccolo_tomate]

...You mean you can't get better than that?

[He doesn't mean anything behind his words this time. He's honestly curious and a little upset. He hadn't expected a repeat, but at least he thought Kaito would show something even more amazing some other time. He is disappointed.]

[grumps]

'Course I can get better than that. What I meant was you saw the best magician there was perform for your first show.

[video!]

[piccolo_tomate]

O-Oh.... I knew that. ...Y-You better do something even cooler next time!

["Sea Cow" doesn't have the same ring as it used to. Not after THAT. Gonna have to think of a new one]

...Could you do the last one again? ...please?

[video!]

[bakaitoukid]

[YES HE HAS UPGRADED FROM SEA COW TO... something awesome he hopes.

... also he thinks Romano is annoying, buuuut he isn't the type of guy to bad talk his audience. So he answers honestly and nicely]

Tell you what! I'll do it again next time, just for you. How's that sound?

[video!] 1/2

[piccolo_tomate]

[SEA CUCUMBER? OCTOPUS? SQUID MAN? It'll come to him~~]

[Romano's surprised by that offer. After all the things he's said to this guy and all that... and he was doing something just for him?]

...Really?

[video!] 2/2

[piccolo_tomate]

[HEY WAIT. That sounded almost too cool to be true... Maybe Kaito was trying to trick him somehow... B-But he didn't have anything a magician would want since there was no way a magician would want a city or a kingdom]

... ...Really really?

[video!]

[bakaitoukid]

[have a flat look, Romano]

Are you suspicious?

[video!]

[piccolo_tomate]

[Well. Now he feels stupid GEE THANKS]

...Y-You really don't want anything in return? You better not be lying to me.

[video!]

[bakaitoukid]

... look, kid, you're annoying, but an audience is an audience.

What kinda performer would I be if I turned one down?

[video!]

[piccolo_tomate]

You'd be a shitty performer. ...And I'm not annoying, dumb ass.

...Okay. ...It sounds okay. M-Make it even more... y-you know. Better. [small praises, very small praises]
