[Voice] 1st Deck

Huh. They tell us to try these things out, right?

So. I'm Kaito Kuroba. And I guess I'm new here. Not exactly how I was planning on waking up but I guess it beats school and Aoko's mop.

Anyway, I got a question – they tell us to get a job and all, so I don't suppose anyone has any need for an amateur magician? Or knows of any place that does?

I can even do an audition or you or something if you want. I might not have all my equipment, but sort of magician would I be if I couldn't improvise? A pretty bad one, if you ask me.

Magician for like birthday parties for wrigglers?

A magician? That means you do magic, right?

[Magic was never a good thing really from what she has seen sometimes.]

You mean magic? I don't know of anything but I'm sure you can start something.

[Her voice is light and kind though after a distracted pass she continues.]

I started a bookshop here, so maybe you can have scheduled performances or we can build you a stage? Is it like the circus? Or is it magic magic?

[She realizes that it might not be clear but she isn't sure how else to say it.][

An amateur magician? Slight of hand or actual spiritual power?

[A slight pause and then an amused chuckle.]

I may be getting a little ahead of myself, I suppose. I'm Bridget, owner of Rocks jewelry store. I'm fine with hiring sales clerks with the knowledge that they might leave when something better comes along, and I know of several cafes and shops in need of wait staff as well as an semi-military academy looking for instructors. If you're slight-of-hand, you could certainly bring in the tips with some showmanship. As for spiritual... There are a few more options. Ah, and there is a performance arts center but newcomers or beginners don't make much. I'd recommend getting settled somewhere regular and spend your free time there building up your reputation.

Well, I could do that too if I'm right in assuming wrigglers means kids. Although eventually I want something bigger. My dad was a world famous illusionist and I want to be as good, if not better, then he was.

I do, yes.

[Although his is more stage magic then anything else. Even the stuff he pulls off as KID. Not that he's going to let anyone else know that.]

Huh. That sounds like a good idea. Take another job to just pay the bills for now and save up to get something more permanent. And meanwhile, I can do random performances in like a park or something to drum interest!

[Magic magic? Like Akako magic?]

Well, my Dad was an illusionist, so I learned a lot from him. But then again, I do put my own spin on a lot of it too.

It doesn't, but it's as good an analog as any, I suppose. [ Comparisons metamorphic and non-metamorphic species were messy. ]

That isn't something people would actually pay money for, is it?

[ Troll culture on Beforus was not as dystopic as on Alternia, but the troll penchant for practicality was a constant on both. ]

Some of the first with bit more illusionist added in.

Jewelry...? [He pauses for a moment, considering.] I know a little bit about precious stones. My best friend's dad is the head of the taskforce dedicated to catching the most famous Phantom Thief in the world. I'm a bit of a fan, too, since he puts some really awesome magic shows during his heists, so I studied up a bit so I could be of some help to Nakamori-keibu.

That sounds like a good idea. That's actually what I planned on doing back home once I graduated high school.

Huh. What was it supposed to mean? [Because hey, he was curious. And stuck in a place not home, so why not learn as much as he could?]

Sometimes, yeah. It's sort of like going to a movie or a concert.

Well, from what I understand, 'kid' implies a kind of intermediate state of maturity for humans. Whereas a wriggler is a troll that has yet to pupate.

[ Movies were already stretching the practicality standards of trolls; Porrim didn't even know what a 'concert' was. SHRUG. ]

Different strolls for different trolls, I suppose.

[Hmm? That voice sounded suspiciously familiar. Conan frowns for a moment as he unsuccessfully tries to pin down the fleeting memory.]

Are you from Tokyo, Mr. Magician? Your voice sounds really familiar!

What kind if I may ask?

[She is curious as to if it's good or not.]

[... oh hell no. What was he doing here?

Not that this thought process was betrayed by his voice at all. Good thing for that beloved Poker Face. If anything, he just sounds confused.]

I am. How'd you guess?

I'd really like to see it. If you do can you tell me where.

[She pauses switching the voice to video.]

Sorry, I'm still getting used to this thing. I should introduce myself first. I'm Levy. It's nice to meet you.

[A troll... and pupate..? Kaito is all shades of confused right now, but he'll just go with it. After all, he was in some strange place so why not?

He has to laugh at that though. And totally not because his alter ego was normally called KID because someone somehow mistakenly read the number 1412 as K-I-D.]

There are some adults that refer to those younger them as 'kid.' I think it's supposed to be some sort of affectionate nickname. It all depends on context, really.

My dad was an illusionist, so I picked up a lot from him. Stage magic too, although I never perfected pulling a rabbit out of a hat.

I'll even make sure you get a front row seat.

[Kaito hesitates for a moment before doing the same.

He grins, brightly.]

I'm Kaito, though I guess you already knew that. It's nice to meet you too.

But condescending, yes, I understand.

Most of the time, yeah. My best friend's dad sometimes calls me 'kid' though, so there is that.

[The best part? It's true for both of his identities.]

I'm from Tokyo too, so it was easy to recognize in your voice!

So what does being an 'illusionist' involve?

Which is kind of weird, since I have no idea who you are.

[Which is technically true - Kaito Kuroba has never actually met Tantei-kun. That was strictly KID.]

[Levy laughs softly.]

I can’t wait.

[She’s interested in his type of magic.]

Are you going to do something for free first? Or have admission?

[Doing something for free first might get his name out there.]

[Dairine might have skipped over this broadcast if not for Conan's voice. But after she hears the detective call out to this Kaito person, she gets curious enough to say something.]

...Aoko's mop?

[How is a mop an expected part of your school day?]
