If anyone's down in the kitchen tonight... some time around midnight... they might be in with a bit of a surprise.

There's a figure rooting around in the fridge.  One not dressed in black, but with white hair, in a light green turtleneck sweater and light jeans.  Certain things are being pulled out, and put to one side.

He's also got the air of someone who hopes he isn't going to get caught.

...

Catch him?

"Eh? Really? I suppose I'd noticed a few around that look like Conan-kun..."

He is well able to tell that this is another 'him', but isn't admitting such yet. As such- "I do? Hn... I don't know what could cause that."

Look who's heading over to the cooker with the ingredients~

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Eh, most won't notice I think. My nose is a bit more sensitive..." Frown. "...Also you're definitely lying..." Definitely def-

Wait, what's he doing? "Eh- Hey, you aren't using my meat for that are you!?"

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Blink. Blink. Okay, then, if that was the way this mini-him wanted to play...

"Oh? I didn't realise it was yours. Not labelled, see? And there are so many of us here..."

Watch as he puts it back. and goes rooting around for something else to use.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Really? There's more?" He grabs his meat.

And starts to eat it.

WAIT WASN'T THAT NOT COMPLETELY COOKED? Even as a cold meat, that was...

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Have an honest-to-goodness laugh. "It's a strange place, is it not? I wonder if there's anything it can't do."

So, yes... bringing ingredients to the cooker, and starting to chop up the veg. He's strangely unperturbed by Koji eating the meat that's not properly cooked...

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"One way of putting it." Sniff, sniff. "...What are you making..?"

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"Stir fry!" Akio. Why you so cheery. "But first I have to prepare everything!"

...seriously.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"..." Yea.

Why is another him so cheery.

You have him speechless. "...Huh. I thought only I did that..." On catnip, his mind mentally adds...

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

...and he is utterly clueless. Oh dear.

"Eh? Did what? I'm pretty sure you can't be the only one to make stir fry..."

AHAHAAAA-

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

Yeaaaaaokay what. "...Are you... Some version of me that wasn't in the BO or something..." That can't be right. It... It can't be.

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

For now? Just going to act dumb. Which is depressingly easy.

"Ah, BO? Is that... some kind of after school club or something...?"

What.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Wh-" Holy shit.

Holy shit that is- "That..." He can't stop smiling why can't he stop smiling- "That is probably the strangest thing I have heard since I got here." Bite of bologna. "And I've heard some strange things..."

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Now he's just staring at you.

"Really? It's that hard to imagine?"

And all the while he's still chopping things up.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"...Bit of a universal constant, us being in a giant and otherwise entirely villainous criminal organization really." Shrug, eat meat... "Heck, I'm probably an exception, getting out... Especially the way I did," he adds with a dry laugh.

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

That earns a dark look - but not at Koji. "Villainous indeed... The depths an organisation would go to, to take on children and keep them like that... But you did get out. At least there's that, hm?"

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Er-" Looking over himself now and realizing what his appearance implies. "Yea. This.." Gestures around self. "Is kinda how I got out... I'm supposed to look about your age right now." ...

Possibly older, shush.

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"Eh... is that so?" Still chopping stuff. "Hn... I knew about the kit, but others as well?" He shakes his head. "As if I thought things weren't bad enough for him already..."

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Kit?" Wait. "Ah- You mean Megane?!"

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"...Megane... Oh! You mean, because of the glasses, right?" He laughs a little self-consciously. "Then, I suppose so!"

He's going to just keep cooking now. Putting the wok on and putting oil in... then the first set of ingredients...

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Er... Y-Yea..." Nodding. Very slowly (whoisthis)...

"...How the heck do you even know him..?"

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"I guess you could say we're very distantly related?" My, that is a very strange smile you're wearing there, Akio. "You could say we're both under the same 'family'..."

Yes, if you can call 'Vulpes vulpes humanitas such.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

Pause.

Stare. And...

This is probably not the expected reaction.

"...Feather-brain's a fox!?"

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"Ah-! Distantly, distantly! Must be... oh, at least a hundred years or so ago. But still, not completely human."

And... since Koji figured it out through both logic and his nose? Out come the ears. And tail.

"Whereas I'm only a little bit human on my father's side~!"

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Huh. That makes more sense I guess..." A... A lot more sense.

Grin. "Heh. Mine's better." Maow, tiger face naow.

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Uh. Koji...

Your tiger face may have just been flicked by Akio's fox tail.

While Akio's hands are busy keeping everything moving inside the wok.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"SFFF-" Nose twitch, jumping back- "Ha-ch! O-Oi, watch your tail..!"

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"It has a mind of its own, that tail of mine, sometimes. You'd best keep an eye on it if I can't!"

Spices, sauce...! Mmmnnn... smells nice.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Wh-"

...

"What's that even supposed to mean?!" And FFgggggg too many spices for his nose, making him dizzy...

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

...It's a stir fry, Koji. Those things usually have strong smells attached to them. Akio can deal. Then again, he was born this way.

"Eh?" Stirring, stirring. "Should be clear... don't distract me when I'm cooking."

Especially not with tempting opportunities such as that tiger nose.

You do know, he's likely to start calling you kitten now. Right?

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

He doesn't care, he is too busy keeping his distance from that furry MENACE you call a tail and covering his 'poor nose' as he mutters to himself.

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

As far as Akio himself is concerned? That is fine. Absolutely good! It means he can get on with his cooking in peace.

Not that there's much left to do... just let it cook in, really.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Gh- no fair, how come your nose isn't acting up..."

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"Ki-tsu-ne!" Each syllable is broken apart with a wave of his index finger back and forth. "I was born this way. And right now, my nose is human. Mostly."

And that makes ALL the difference. Obviously.

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Mostly hu- You're cheating..!" [To support this, if you've noticed, his nose is back to normal.

Also he is having many doubts about YOU, you crazy... Semi-double.]

[gin-the-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"Hoh... Cheating, am I? I wasn't aware there were any rules."

Dishes~

"Hey, you want some of this?"

How cooked is the meat? :'D

[hisokakoji.livejournal.com]

"Hn..." Sniff test first.

From where he stands.
