[ he's still yet to get a perfect hang of this whole telepathy thing. to be honest, there's a part of kaito that really, really doesn't want to get used to it. telepathy is intrusive, logic-defying (not in the way that makes him grin and break out the magic tricks), and-- far too intimate. exhibit number friggin one in being far too revealing to people who have no business knowing anything more about him that he has no intention of sharing. there's always this little squirt of paranoia at the back of his head, going-- what if this time, they'll end up hearing inner thoughts instead of, you know, what i'm trying to broadcast?
which is precisely why, then, that he is sitting on the rooftop of an unnamed building, practising what is the equivalent of a mental poker face, because honestly, he's going to have bigger problems than people hearing things they really shouldn't hear if he can't blend in well with the other people around him, and anyway, he wants to test the extent of this telepathy. couldn't he fix up some kind of a mental equivalent of a firewall? he sure as hell could try. ]
Testing, testing... [ there. not so hard. it feels weird to talk to himself like this in his head when it seems very obvious that he is the only person who's remotely catching a single whiff of this, but the glow of the amulet in his hands speak otherwise. okay... ] Dunno who's hearing this, but thank you for tuning into Radio Station Kaito! Currently the best, most exciting and most sensational radio station around.
Or, well, would be once I get the hang of this. Seriously, I've never realize how hard it was to keep a linear line of thought and not jump around all over the place. Testing, testing, one-two-three, do not think about that white polar bear, do not think about any white polar bears. [ a grin to himself. this isn't so hard. between the line about the testing and the thing about the white polar bear, he's whipped out a deck of cards, and has begun to shuffle it rapidly. ]
Anyway, I think it's about time for a little self-introduction. The name's Kaito Kuroba, age 17, magician extraordinaire. My hobbies are card games, shooting up the arcade, and being amazing at stage tricks, and my idol is the Kaitou Kid, no surprises there. Oh, and I'm from a lovely jewel in a certain solar system known as [ and here he tries to modulate his mental tone to something suitably dramatic-- and succeeds, ] The Earth, just in case I'm broadcasting to any alien listeners out there. It's a pretty cool place! But I wouldn't recommend visiting. We haven't figured out the whole visitation from outer space thing yet, [ unlike this place, his more sardonic thoughts supply, and he actively tries to keep that from broadcasting. ] and certain jumpy governments can get pretty trigger-happy.
[ now... how to segue this-- oh, he's got it. ] And now it's time for the listeners to tune in and send in their info! Let's start with something sensational-- what's the coolest fact about yourself? Come on, don't be shy! I'm willing to bet we've got a pretty fascinating crew gathered here full of amazing facts just waiting to be shared ★.
revision!
