Who: ~~Kaito Kuroba~~ Shinichi Kudo? (

theinfamous1412), and YOU
Where: Coral Corral, House #1 or outside it if you want.
When: Mid-day February 29th.
Style: Anything is fine
Status: OPEN!

[ If anyone cares to recall, a few days ago there was a new arrival decked in a white tuxedo, top-hat, and monocle going by the name of Kaitou KID. Somehow... he seems to have done the impossible and vanished. Not an easy feat when you're wearing such bright and easily spotted clothing. Maybe he actually did escape the bubble. ]

[ The truth is that Kaitou KID has taken up the identity of the also recently arrived Shinichi Kudo. He's taken up residence in Coral Corral and started to set up camp to the best of his ability. He's even installed a new name plate with the name 'Kudo' engraved into it. ]

[ If you are neighbors with the boy you'll find he's very busy and always going in and out and moving furniture. Not too unlike what he's doing today. He's hauling a few barstools into the house and to do this he's left the door open- ]

[ It become immediately clear that he's been doing some kind of renovating as there is a tarp hanging above a place for a door. He's not anti-social, though he might frown pretty heavily at you should you enter his house without permission. But, if you want to say hello or ask him some questions go right ahead! ]

((ooc: As a side not--Should he hear any kind of music- Kaito will start dancing as that is his 'sickness'))

[Serph tilts his head, questioning.]

What is renovating?

[He can see that it has something to do with moving all that furniture, but it's nice to have some clarification.]

...Renovating? [ How could someone not know what--ah. Never mind. }

It means I'm changing the basic layout of the house.

[There are many, many things Serph doesn't know.

He gives stranger a nod of understanding. He understands changing things the base is more suited to his needs.]

What was wrong with the old layout?

[He's curious! After all, people obviously have different needs and priorities to him and Cielo.]

Nothing is wrong with it. [ And it's true. The layout is ideal for a small family or group of roommates. But Kaito has seen past all things a potential home-owner would see at first glance and probably take at face value. He's seen the potential this house has to offer him and all he has to do is take out a few walls and change some appearances--piece of cake for a magician. ]

It simply doesn't meet my expectations.

[Serph tilts his head again, questioning. However, since this stranger isn't his Tribe -- who are well versed in understanding his silences -- he expands.]

What are your expectations?

I need it to serve as a place of business and a safe house for those who need it. I'm a detective, you see.

[ He also needs it to have several escape paths just incase. But that part is confidential ]

[Oh, a safe house. Serph can understand that! ...Though the walls of the Coral Corral look far too flimsy in his humble opinion. He's pretty sure a demon could punch through them.

However...]

What's a detective?

[Is it obvious that he doesn't know a lot about anything?]

You don't know what a detective is? [ Kaito just kind blinks, unable to stop himself from picturing the real Shinichi's face if he were here. ]

Basically, it's my job to solve any mystery brought to me-though I tend to be very selective about which cases I accept. It's also part of my job to keep the general public, and my clients safe.

[Well, that explanation is easy for him to understand! ...Which doesn't happen very often for Serph.

He shakes his head at the question, though.]

There are no detectives where I come from. My world has very little.

...I imagine there's a lot of crime then.

[Crime is... not something he has a clear understanding of -- it, too, is something that doesn't exist in the Junkyard -- so he asks for clarification.]

What is crime?

[Another name for mystery?]

Ah...

Crime is something done against the law. For example- if the law states you're not to step on a patch of grass- yet you do so anyway- that is a crime. A very minor crime and one not worth my time- but a crime none the less.

[The way this guy speaks of crime like it is bad. Why would someone even make a law about grass? Nevertheless...]

The laws of my world dictate we must kill--

[devour]

--to reach Nirvana. Is it still a crime not to kill?

Murder is exactly the kind of case I handle and I don't take kindly to it.

[Hah... So killing is against the law... at least in this stranger's world. Serph can accept that this stranger takes cases in accordance to his understanding of law. Junkyard law is pretty terrible, anyway.

Serph nods; he can understand not liking killing.]

Your name?

Shinichi Kudo.

[Shinichi... Kudo. The Shinichi sounds familiar. Something about not being Shinichi... Niichan? ...Well the names are different, so it's probably not a problem.

He gives a polite nod. Oh. Right, he should introduce himself, too.]

Serph.

[A pause. He doesn't really have any further questions, and if Shinichi Kudo is fine moving stuff on his own, then Serph will leave him be.]

Contact me if you need anything.

Certainly. And thanks for the offer. [ He gives him a friendly smile ]

[Serph doesn't return the smile because he's :| all the time. But he does give a curt nod in farewell before he leaves.

Have fun renovating, little man.]
