-- stop thief!

[... what's that? Did you just hear the words 'stop thief' from an Officer Jenny over the network? Why yes, you did! To accompany this command, the video feed shows the face of one (1) phantom thief dressed in a white suit, cape, top hat aaand monocle. The latter two items make it incredibly difficult to discern his identity, and if

[He's seen his father defend accused thieves before, but never one like this.]

I thought you were a magician, like, Miss Trucy, before I realized you were stealing something.

[This fever was killing his attention span and observation. Curse it.]

[bakaitoukid]

[griiiin]

Perhaps I am both. [Kaitou Kid's entire persona was based around magic, after all]

[video]

[miniworth]

Most likely, both.

[There were a lot of magicians around here, in this world. Trucy, this thief, and... that one person who chirped about magic, while dressed as Kay.]

Was that Pokégear for animosity, Mr....?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Kaitou Kid. You may refer to me as Kid. [a bow at the video feed, and he doesn't answer Edgeworth's question]

[video]

[miniworth]

[---well, if Kid had answered that would have been strange.]

The police force here must be really bad if an officer can be flustered by you throwing a fairy tale line at her...

[Siiiigh. Police forces everywhere, so stupid.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[oh doesn't he know it. Johto is his least favorite law enforcement system ever]

A phantom thief must be charming, after all.

[video]

[miniworth]

And in response, the police should be stronger to your "charms".

[First spirit mediums, now phantom thieves charming policewomen. There was something seriously wrong about the police.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Perhaps next time, she'll be more wary.

[video]

[miniworth]

In that case, you should be wary as well, then, no?

[Edgeworth hasn't made any objections regarding the fact that Kid is a, ahem, thief. ...In all honesty, he couldn't see Kid doing any harm to people (yet), so he wasn't really concerned. Kid looked like he was enjoying himself, anyway.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

I never denied that statement.

[it's okay, Kid is a relatively harmless thief. He likes causing trouble, but he would never hurt anyone on purpose]

[video]

[miniworth]

I didn't think so.

[Edgeworth just eyes Kid now.]

There are a lot of magicians here, aren't there?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You've noticed it as well? I've counted three so far. [holding up a hand with three fingers]

Not counting the ones who are native to this world. [... he's seen a lot of those, too]

[video]

[miniworth]

And I, as well, now that I've met you... you, Miss Trucy, and that person who was impersonating Kay Faraday on Halloween.

[Little does he know that Kid and that Kay were the same people.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

And who was that?

[not that he'd admit to impersonating Kay, since it was supposed to be Kaito playing that game, not Kid. Secret identities are so confusing sometimes]

[video]

[miniworth]

They never told me their name... I only got around to figuring out which was the real Kay.

[Course, in the end Kaito and Kid are the same people, too, but to those who don't know his real identity, they might as well be strangers. So confusing, yep.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Curious. I suppose it will always remain a mystery.

[Yeeeeeeep]
