DAY 1 2 9 ;; video. | action if in the area!
-no such thing as a 'murder magnet', Kaito-niichan. You're just making stuff up!
[The video feed is elevated, looking down on Conan's head from above and slightly behind. The pseudo-seven year old may not be aware he's being filmed, but the childish persona is in full force -- cute, slightly petulant tone of voice, and his forensic unit paperwork and notebooks out of sight in his brightly coloured school bag. Unaware of the scrutiny being directed at the top of his head, Conan continues his complaint.]
Anyway, Uncle's a detective, so it's not surprising that in the line of work, we'd encounter cases!
[Cases, he says… You know, the last time he checked, Japan’s crime rate was supposed to be low. The teenager’s fiddling with his bracelet causes the sound to oscillate for a moment. His tone, however, maintains steadily unimpressed, and perhaps just a little incredulous. ]
Uh… huh. And you wanna tell me how you manage to just happen to stumble on these ‘cases’ wherever you go? It just tells me that if I wanna get to the bottom of all this weirdness lately, I’d better start with the center of it all. Who is, naturally, the most suspicious guy.
[The look that Conan gives Kaito is baleful -- not helped as he takes in the bracelet, realises that he is being recorded.]
You make it sound like I'm responsible! I'm investigating!
So am I! I’m in the process of documenting the natural properties of detective-brats and their ability to somehow self-sustain their professions. Seriously, you attract weirdness. And dead people. You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if cosmic karma was all ‘oh, hey, it’s that brat again, let’s make him trip over some dead bodies’.
[Conan rolls his eyes as Kaito's monologue continues, quickly becoming distracted by something he's spotted off camera. He stops walking; caught up in his speech, Kaito doesn't immediately notice.]
-- and if I can reverse-engineer that, I’ll be a millionaire. I mean, who wouldn't want an all-purpose murder repellant? [Beat] Oi, detective-brat, you listening?
[Turning as Kaito does, the feed swings round to show Conan opening the door of a shed that opens the street. As the door swings open, a man is revealed. His posture, his unnatural lack of colour, the fact that without the shed door holding him in place he falls to land flat in front of Conan -- it is immediately obvious that they've found a dead body.
There's a moment when neither of them react, and then Kaito swallows audibly.]
I repeat -- murder magnet.
Turn that off.
[ ooc: this is a joint post between Conan Edogawaholmes_fanatic and Kaito Kuroba requisite! they will both be replying to this post! double the fun, yes. ]

[Notice how he can say this all with complete seriousness now.]
Oh, it's my fault now?
[Video]
[Video]
Oh gods, it's like there's two of them. One was enough.
[This isn't even directed at Kaito, though it's obviously about him.]
[Video]
Huh? What're you going on about now? Who're you comparing me to?
[ FLAILING ]
[Video]
[Have the most exasperated look (tm) in return.]
[Video]
[ ....................................... ]
Sorry, but I just realized. You actually have the weirdest taste in nicknames, don't you.
[Video]
What, you think he'd appreciate Dollop Head or Clotpole more? Those are old ones. I guess that adds a bit of sentimentality.
[Video]
[Video]
[Pouting just a bit. He likes these names!]
[Video]
I'm sure! You have to tell me the stories behind them sometime. Even if I still think they're weird.
[Video]
But they all sort of start the same way, the stories. Arthur's a prat, Arthur gets into some sort of trouble, I save him. The end.
[Video]
Hey, good stories are nothing without deets!
[Video]
[Video]
[Video] crying
It would help if you explained what they are first.
[Video]
[Conan's trying to tune you guys out as he rifles through dead guy's pockets for any identifying items.]
[Video]
Oh! [Now rounding on Kaito.] Why didn't you just say so?
[Video]
And I was going to. You know, before the brat spoiled everything.
[Video]
[Guess who he likes more? If you said Conan, ding ding ding!]
