With the plain white t-shirt and trousers, you might think this is an ordinary Kaito, if a little monochrome. There's a newsboy cap tugged low over his right eye, and a stripy scarf wrapped securely around his neck (which he keeps tugging at, for some reason). Nice and normal... right?

....right?

[ooc: Come and prod the shock-collared assassin~!]

*au, kuroba kaito

[at some point, this pale, unkempt, and clearly malnourished Kaito in technicolor orange creeps through the rooms, heading in a direction he's praying is the kitchen. having left Kit, the Kaito in pink, in the seemingly safe hands of Ran-kun, Jinx figured if he was going to be stuck in some Judge's headgame in a mansion of all places, he might as well take advantage of some of the comforts. such as the possibility of food. hopefully lots of it.

and while the Kaito with the scarf may appear entirely innocent, Jinx is giving him a wide breadth on the off-chance that he really is stuck in Mirror-land and there are happy happy Kaito-reflections everywhere. beyond that, cautiously taking in the sight of everything in the room and deciding where to go next.

... his stomach loudly complaining at the lack of attention to it is really distracting, however.]

Oho. Now 1412 knows where he is. It's a Kaito, another-- but not him, you see, because he's not a Kaito-- but it's a Kaito. And 1412 recognises this place now.

His mouth splits in a wide grin you might expect to see more on Kid, the cap shadowing his face.

"Kaito~" he lilts, drifting towards the boy in orange.

The Vulpecula freezes a bit at the approach of the other Kaito, eyes quickly darting toward the nearest exits for a quick moment before settling on the... other him? Reflection? He still isn't sure which Judge is running this thing but Mirror is definitely a contender.

Mindful of his image, he tries to appear relax even as he continues to tense the close the other him gets. "That's one of my names, don't wear it out," he snarks in a near-steady tone.

"Hasn't seen you before, doesn't think. New fashion, perhaps, hm?" The grin is wider now, mocking.

--glad to see the stupid-kaito afraid, scared, backing off... glad and happy to see him scared but not going to think about hurting him, just scaring him, oh yes, scare him a lot--

"Perhaps the Kaito thinks he is an orange?"

It's really the speech pattern that makes his stomach clench a bit as he continues to watch the other Kaito warily.

"... it's the color of my team in Sabra La Tau."

"Sabra? Sabra La Tau? Hasn't heard of that before." A bright, sunny smile shows and he bounces gleefully closer, his steps almost dancing over the ground.

"You could tell me about it!" 1412 laughs, a knife appearing in his hand like magic, the bright silver blade flashing under the electric lights.

Drawing back a bit, perhaps not in steps but certainly in demeanor, Jinx's attention focuses in on the knife.

"I'm not up for talking much about that place," he says, tone short and unamused, an uncomfortable smile coming onto his face as he speaks.

"Ohhh~?" 1412's tone is bright and enquiring, his smile wide. "And why not~?"

He flips the knife in his hand almost idly, watching the blade glimmer in the air as it spins before catching it again.

"Not interested, for starters," is the almost sarcastic answer as he watches the other Kaito, well aware that too much focus on the knife itself will leave him open for other possible attacks. "For another, why should I?"

The slightest of shift in posture is all Jinx needs to change his defensive stance into a one meant for flight. While part of him curses his lack of options, the other two parts are quickly plotting a course out of range of possible weapons used against him. All of this only noticeable by his tension and the way his eyes flicker from one escape route to another and then back to 1412, the memory of the use of a good poker face heavily in play.

1412's grin widens as he sees Kaito's stance change. he's not much of a one for poker faces, but he knows how to read people. And even though there's that nasty little thing around his neck (his fingertips drift towards the scarf without thought, grasping at the material) he can still scare the stupid-Kaito into running, scare him enough that he can't do anything, can't even think about a little miss Aoko.

That's good enough for 1412.

"If the stupid-Kaito knew what was good for him, he would. Hasn't he heard of one-four-one-two before~? Doesn't he know~ what~ I've~ done~?"

"You specifically? Not at all. Are you supposed to be infamous or something?"

There's a sickening sensation as a certain part of him processes the possible implications of those questions.

There's a mad little giggle.

"Oh~ If only the stupid Kaito knew~"

1412 touches the knife to his tongue, eyes shadowed as he watches Kaito.

"He wouldn't be asking me then, would he? Oh no."

There's the unsettling sensation of looking at a possibility, a person that could be him if some things had been different. It's exactly the sort of realization that makes Jinx choke back a bit of a laugh--edging a bit with something not at all a laugh--himself.

Then almost as if completely disregarding 1412, he says to himself, "If this is a Judge's game... Mirror, Mirror, you're going too far."

"Mirror mirror on the wall~" 1412 lilts cheerfully--

--abruptly pulling his arm back as if to throw the knife, the form perfect, poised to throw--

--and then relaxes, tossing the knife idly, as if he hadn't threatened violence, his grin an unsettling mockery of happiness.

"Or in the knife," comments Jinx, watching those aborted movements.

It's a bit sad that you can be used to so much threats and headgames, but if the other party is not actually lashing out when appearing to want to do so...

"Kaito this, Kaito that," he starts up again, waving a hand airily while his eyes narrow on 1412 and his knife. "You're obsessed with that name, you know?"

1412 shakes his head slowly, his grin a rictus as he struggles to remind himself not to hurt, not to hurt the idiot in front of him. He can't hurt him. Just scare him.

"Not... so." His tone is forced lightness, even the civility a struggle. The knife is gripped tightly in his hand. He mustn't hurt.
