[TODAY IN THE LOBBY there are two familiar looking faces dressed in unfamiliar clothing-- unless you're familiar with Victorian fashion, that is-- seated in the plush chairs next to the coffee table. Kaito is resting his head on said table, clearly dazed and yet still grinning lopsidedly as he takes in his surroundings with interest. His (bloody,

[azurebeneath]

[that is quite an eye catching orange, though his features are rather difficult to make out with the distance and the shadows]

Can we help you, sir?

[vulpine_hijinx]

... no, thanks, I'm fine. And you're busy taking care of those needles.

[because really, that glint of silver could be many things, but the manner that Kaito is speaking in reveals their nature.]

[azurebeneath]

[...well that voice is certainly familiar, if with a strange accent]

Ah... we should be done shortly... are you a friend of Mr. Kuroba's?

[or perhaps a relative, though Kudo's voice is also a fair match and they're fairly sure there's no relation there...

Still steadily working the needles out while she talks. Without looking, even. It's pretty obvious she's done this before]

[vulpine_hijinx]

A bit closer than that.

You can call me Jinx if you want. Or Kaito.

[noirneath]

[YOU ASSUME NARCOTICS AND NEEDLES ARE HIS DRUG AND METHOD OF CHOICE, GOOD SIR.]

. . .

Odd. I didn't think hallucinations were a side-effect of these particular poisons.

[Jinx is getting stared at dubiously, because even through said drug-induced state, this Kaito can at least recognize the sound of his own voice and his name]

[azurebeneath]

Most people don't consume an entire bottle of Morelways before needle wrestling. Hold still.

[the words are a quick and irritated mutter as she tries to keep his forearm in place, then casts Jinx an incredulous stare]

Kaito?

[vulpine_hijinx]

Or Jinx. You get to pick.

[azurebeneath]

It seems rather presumptuous of you to assume a name with its proper owner in front of you.

[her tone is mild, but has an undercurrent of warning - it wouldn't be the first time she's dealt with a fraud, and it certainly won't be the last. Not to mention the considerably-sized club hanging from her belt, complete with vicious looking tooth hammered in one end (certainly not a tooth from any beast Jinx would recognize, though it does seem raptor-sized), gives a clear indication as to her preferred method of dealing with said frauds]

[noirneath]

[mumbling as he rubs at his eyes]

Miss Aoko, perhaps you shouldn't threaten the hallucination. It'll only make it more persistent.

[vulpine_hijinx]

I'm not an hallucination and one of my names is Kaito.

Though I should be the one threatening. I'm not very much amused by seeing faces from back home lately.

[azurebeneath]

So sorry that we fail to amuse, then.

[her words only grows more curt]

[vulpine_hijinx]

It's hardly your fault, Aoko Nakamori-san.

[noirneath]

[MORE MUMBLING and he buries his face into his free arm]

How about no threatening, from either side? I'm certain all present parties know how to play nicely.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[a snerk falls into a bout of snickering]

I might've forgotten how. It's a thing that happens.

[azurebeneath]

Perhaps if the gentleman would show his face...

[seriously, stop lurking. She does enough shadowy loitering with your alternate to know when you're doing it-]

-Kuroba, for the thousandth time stay still before I'm forced to restrain you. [TAKING OUT MORE NEEDLES]
