[It's the day before Christmas Eve, and 28-year-old Kaito is finishing off his last shift before the holidays. Since Mayfield is as ~*perfect*~ of a town as always, there really aren't many crimes for the detective to investigate

[Walking over to her protege, Ema is watching him talk to the girl. She waits until he's done before she actually approaches him.]

What happened?

[Feigning interest.]

[kaitopants]

[He flips over the notepad and shows her a crude and amusing drawing of a cat stuck in a tree and a little girl crying over it]

[luminols]

[fff, she snerks... except they're supposed to be enforcers of the law. she changes her expression to unimpressed.]

Not exactly detective worthy.

[kaitopants]

[peers at her flatly from over his notebook]

Neither is a case about a missing cat.

[weaponsparked]

[Another passerby! ... peering over your shoulder at the notepad.]

...

Looks very serious.

[kaitopants]

[taps the picture of the cat in the tree]

Very serious.

[weaponsparked]

Well, you know how females get about their felines...

[Teasing. So very teasing.]

[kaitopants]

[teasing right back]

Exactly why this case is at the top of our list of ones to solve.

[A thieving busybody sidles on up by the detective. Given her profession and his, Kaito is about the only non-evil person Lobelia has no issues about pestering these days.]

How's it going, copper? Catch any bad guys lately?

[kaitopants]

[Assumingly due to Kaito's double life, he's met this thief on both sides of the law. There's a pretty good chance he didn't try his hardest to catch her either]

Just a notorious cat-napper.

[demon_of_paris]

[Lobelia has crossed paths with Kid more than once, but the whole flashy phantom thief thing isn't her style. Still, she respects his skill...and has absolutely no idea she's talking to him right now.]

Oh heavens me! What a horrific crime. I hope you prosecute the perpetrator to the fullest extent of thppffftahahahahaha! [She almost made it through with a straight face. Almost.]

[kaitopants]

[he's just that good :>]

Oi oi, every crime, no matter how small, should be investigates! [it's obvious he doesn't beleive this]

[crazyclownwoman]

Hey Katio!

[Waves and comes over, with a grin.]

Whatcha up to?

[kaitopants]

[still doodling idly in his notepad]

Saving little kittens, one tree at a time.

[crazyclownwoman]

[snorts]
Aw how sweet.

Hey, are you an' Aoko coming over for Christmas? Sideswipes cooking and were thinkin' about making Jolt into a Christmas tree.

[kaitopants]

I think we're going to Alfred-san's, but we might be able to drop by.

[onceasomebody]

[Have a Simon who isn't aging the best, hands shoved in his pockets.]

Can't believe you're still playing their game.

[kaitopants]

Their game.

[he snap his notebook shut]

My rules.

[onceasomebody]

Then how about you make a rule that gets us home.

[kaitopants]

[grin fades]

... 'm working on it.
