[he didn't know why, but for some reason Hajime was the one he was most afraid of disappointing]
[so when he caught a glance of her smile after Dirk's right hook, a smile that wasn't passive aggressive or laced with anger, he seeks her out]
Oooooi.
[he is TOTALLY CASUAL over here as he flags her down with his good hand. also, he may or may not have a split lip now]
Y'know, Dirk has a pretty good right hook.

[KNOCK KNOCK DIRK, SOMEONE IS COMING CALLING TODAY!!]
[. . .]
[when Dirk opens the door, he'll find Kaito, and. he's holding a metal trash can lid like a shield]
-- don't jump me yet!

[there are shuffling noises coming from inside Kaito's room! but he hasn't exited yet. knock knock, to see who's home?]
[OKAY SO]
[WE'RE ALL HERE NOW]
[IN KAITO'S ROOM, NUMBER 112]
[discuss things]

[at some point during the day, Andersen will find himself the recipient of a discreet note from you know who: Room 112. 9 p.m. I have to tell you something important]
[well, it's now 9 p.m., so. are you here, Andersen? and are you knocking?]
[well, it's now 9 p.m., so. are you here, Andersen? and are you knocking?]
[the hotel isn't very big, but Kaito does manage to flag Heather down while he's on his way back to his room. he makes sure there isn't anyone listening, before he quirks an eyebrow at her]
Lawbringer, huh?
[he finds this funny for reasons he won't say aloud]
Lawbringer, huh?
[he finds this funny for reasons he won't say aloud]
[it isn't until everyone starts heading back to their rooms that Kaito trots up to Jake, waving his good arm as he does so]
Oi! Jake?
Got a minute?
Oi! Jake?
Got a minute?
[Andersen is very drunk right now]
[is he drunk enough to miss the way a familiar face slides into the seat next to him, though?]
. . . don't drink yourself to death, gramps.

. . . don't drink yourself to death, gramps.
[and sometime, after the commotion from the explosion and the investigation die down, Girge is once again approached by three familiar faces. they all look pretty serious, and they lead him back to Kaito's room-- Room 112]
[their official Hunter's meeting room]
Oi.
[he says, once the door is closed. his gaze is steady, not once flickering away from Girge. he seems very decided about something]
We know what we want to do.

[WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS WEEK]
[at any rate, some two hours before curfew on Thursday night, Kaito is hanging out at the lounge as he usually does when he feels like he needs to brood about things. he has his standard glass of chocolate milk (of course) and is flipping a card back and forth in his hand. every time it swaps from face side to back side, the face changes. from the Queen of Hearts, to the King of Spades, to the Five of Diamonds, and so on and so forth]
[at one point, he drops the card onto the lounge counter and reaches for his ear, idly running his fingers across the shell of it]
[it isn't until he spots Andersen that he lowers his hand back into his lap and quirks an eyebrow]
It isn't past your bedtime, gramps?

[WEEK 4: Monday morning, room 116; Akira]
Jun. 12th, 2017 09:40 pm[KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK]
[someone is banging loudly on Akira's door this morning]
Oi, Kurusu! You home?
[he has his pillows and clothes and blankets bundled in a pile at his feet too, so. . . what is he up to?]

[starting on Week 3, Thursday night, Kaito will leave out a red pen and a pad of paper next to his head when he sleeps every single night until he gets a response. the pad only has one message written upon it:]
Dave, Jason, if you're there, tell me Dave's code name.
[AND THAT'S IT]
[have at it dead folks]

[Kaito might be Super Tired, because that was an intense trial, but. fuck exhaustion tbh?? he seeks Percy out soon after the whole debacle ends]
Yo.
I need to steal some of your time, if you don't mind.
["steal". . . at least he's honest about it]

[WEEK 3: Friday night, SOMEWHERE; Akira]
Jun. 9th, 2017 10:20 pm[when will Kaito give up his life of stalking his fellow phantom thief??? that's a good question]
Yo.
[he holds out a glass of chocolate milk he procured from the lounge, complete with a curly straw. his smile is lopsided and sympathetic]
I'm feeling generous today, so I'll share. You busy?

[Kaito had been ~mysteriously~ absent for all of Wednesday, but truthfully he just spent it sleeping in his room, oops. they "why" of that will become clear when Andersen sees him approach. his right arm is wrapped in a sling, and there are bandages poking out from underneath the collar of his shirt. he looks pale. exhausted, even. but alive!]
Yo.
[he gives Andersen a wave with his left hand, pulls up a smile like EVERYTHING IS OKAY AND HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE DEATH WARMED OVER]
How're you feeling, gramps?
Yo.
[he gives Andersen a wave with his left hand, pulls up a smile like EVERYTHING IS OKAY AND HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE DEATH WARMED OVER]

[AT SOME POINT on Thursday, Kaito flags Dirk down for a little talk, all the way back at room 112. it's not abnormal for him to want to chat with people privately, but what probably is abnormal is the fact that his right arm is now in a sling. there are bandages poking out from underneath the collar of his shirt, too. uh. oops? what the fuck did this kid do]
[not that he's talking about those, because he has something more pressing to ask]
Oi. Did you wake up this morning and discover something. . . er. Different?

[NEEDLESS TO SAY, Kaito still looks like crap come Thurday morning. at least he's not longer covered in monster goo? but his right arm is wrapped in a sling and bandages, and he looks pretty pale. he's just exhausted, really]
[it's what happens when you get impaled in the shoulder by a giant monster and don't have any painkillers]
[either way, he flags Jay and Yukina down as soon as he can Thursday morning, asking them to meet him in his (now empty) room]
Well. . . first things are first, I think.
How're you guys feeling?

[he can still feel it. the sting from yesterday's sacrifice lingers in his index finger, a tiny ghost that can't be exorcised. the memory of his stomach dropping and turning inside out at the news of Dave's death is as fresh as the memory he's making now, as he walks up to the locked library with Yukina and Jay in tow. but even clearer than any of that, and what Kaito had decided to hold onto, because fuck it if he would ever let this place get to him, are Craftly's words]
["The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. That... that is what you must contend with. Your contract is binding and thus, until the very end... you must face the unknown."]
[he never thought this job would be easy. not from the very beginning, when it was obvious he was going to have the point a gun at a living being and pull the trigger in order to end this farce of a game with as many survivors as possible. so even with the pain from yesterday-- physical, and emotional-- still lingering in his mind, Kaito manages to hold his head up high. he promised he would, and he is if nothing a man of his word]
All right.
[a head that he tilts towards Jay and Yukina once they're standing in front of their target building, of course]
According to Jay's map, this is the library. Are you guys ready?
