[The Gear clicks on to a low-angle – from about a half foot off the ground; not visible to the camera is Yuki, the Smoochum, who's figured out how to work the gear.]

[Clearly, Heiji needed a surrogate for his mother's attempts at recording his entire life.]

[Momo is curled on his shoulder, happily munching on a walnut, while Bas is curled up at his feet; Kaguya is darting in and out of the camera's view, in a dogfight with a singed-looking Hoothoot, Heiji shouting up to her.]

Kaguya! Quick Attack!

[The dragonfly blurs out almost not visible, Heiji raising a hand to keep view with the wind from her wings – there's an audible impact on the Hoothoot, which drops to the ground, unconscious.]

There y'go, girl! Knew y'could do it! [He raises an arm for the Yanma, which is hovering in mid air uncertainly and glowing funny...]

Kaguya? Y'okay up there?

[And then the 'funny glowing' becomes a brief, blinding flash, leaving behind a much...]

[MUCH....]

[Bigger dragonfly.]

[The now-Yanmega gives a happy sounding chirp-squeak and dives to the offered arm, where Heiji is staring dumbfounded; just as there's impact he snaps out of it enough for a brief, “H-HEY”, before Kaguya lifts him entirely off his feet, dragging him off camera until Yuki manages to pan over to where he's been tackled to the ground after being airborne for a good fifteen feet, the Yanmega cuddled into his chest and doing the closest sort of buzzing sound a bug can do to a purr.]

What th'Hell – Kaguya?

[The Pokégear, now focused on the new pokémon, chimes in helpfully - ]

Yanmega: The Ogre Darner Pokémon. This six-legged Pokémon is easily capable of transporting an adult in flight. The wings on its tail help it stay balanced.

[After a moment of further dumbfounded laughing...the bit of information from the gear sinks in...and the laughter turns a little more maniacal – he's sitting up and hugging the dragonfly as best he can without interfering with her wings.]

[After a minute of that, once she moves off of him, he's picking up and shifting his hat around, grinning like an idiot... and turns back towards Violet, only stopping to call Yuki into her Pokéball and retrieve the gear, looking up from it at Bas and Kaguya as he shuts it off.]

C'mon, guys – we're goin' to Goldenrod!

[OOC: Action tags in Violet will find him at the store, buying an armful of random climbing straps and tack and sewing supplies, a couple small firecrackers, some flash paper, and a small kit of stage makeup and prosthetics, with only Baskerville out, bouncing around his feet barking up a storm.]

Th'Kid heist!

[]

Th'last one I was at, I got put outta the chase by a van, an' I'm not gonna let'im get away so easy this time!

_{[In her surprise, she can't stop her brows from shooting up. But fortunately, she's got the composure to otherwise keep her straight face. Which is a GOOD thing. Because behind the vaguely curious expression she's wearing, she is trying very very hard not to laugh.]

[Not because she thinks it's funny that someone's going after Kaito, but-- being in the know-- picturing this guy getting van'd while chasing after the Kid is absolutely hilarious.]

[But she can't let on that she knows, so she just gives him an odd look.]}

What, you mean that message that was sent out over the network?

I thought that was a prank.

[]

[]

Nope! He's been at it for 'least thirty years now, if y'assume it's always been th'same person - Guy's a magician that goes after mostly th'really unusual jewels, an' always makes a big show of it - announces it 'forehand, just 'bout dares people t'come after him... aaan' then returns'em a week or two later.

If he says 'e's gonna steal th'jewel? Then he'll be there on th'18th.

_{[HEE HEE THIRTY YEARS next time she talks to Kaito she's going to pretend to be all surprised at how 'old' he is.]}

Whoa.

Sounds intense.

So this dude's like... actually gonna steal that diamond?

[]

Well, that's HIS plan. []

I don'plan on makin' it that easy.

Edited 2011-05-17 06:12 (UTC)

_{[Trust that troll sense, Heiji. It will lead you straight and true.]}

So you're a crime-fighter back home or something?

[]

Somethin' like that, yeah - [] I'm a detective. []

Oh really.

I sorta-work for a detective at home. S'boring stuff for the most part.

Sounds like you get more excitement than I do.

Ah, here'n'there, here'n'there - gettin' "somethin' exciting" is more luck than anything, an' I'm still not sure if it's good luck or bad luck... 'cept for Kid, "excitement" seems t'mean dead bodies most'f the time. Still, if y'stick around long enough, somethin'll probably pop up that's not the usual day-in-day out.

Ahuh.

So... how long've you been after this Kid creep?

Ah - only been 'round two heists myself, one of'em th'one I got in on th'chase. He's usually active more in th'Tokyo area lately, an' I get kept busy so Ku-Conan ends up bein' the one chasin'im while I'm tryin' t'wrap up another case in Osaka - much as I'd like t'get more shots at th'guy, 'm not about t'drop somethin' where I'm chasin' someone who'll actually hurt people t'get what they want. []

This'll be m'first clean chance t'try my luck an' see if I can get any further than th'others who've gone after'im! []
