[It suddenly just got a whole lot colder in the dressing room...]

[The Kid standing in the hallway seems like any other - white suit and hat, monocle - but the monocle is frosted over and you can't quite make out his eyes...his head is tilted as he looks around at the mansion curiously.]

This isn't the museum...it's so warm...

Miss Witch? Is this another of your little tries to trap me? If it is, I will be very upset...I have a heist to attend~

[Despite his light words, Kid is frowning. Stupid little witch...only wanted what she couldn't have...constantly interfering...he couldn't miss his heist, what if this was one of the ones that Snake turned up at?]

[And it was so warm here...wherever here was...he turned, and started down the hall, wandering aimlessly to find somewhere slightly cooler while he waited for Miss Witch to show up.]

(OOC: This Kaito is slightly different from normal - details are in his profile!)

[Kid turns at the sound of his name, the hallway getting even colder as he stood still, watching the girl walking towards him with his head slightly tilted in curiosity. This girl seemed familiar....Ah!]

Nakamori-chan, yes? 'Kid go home' signs at heists...

[He relaxed slightly as he spoke. Nakamori-chan was the Keibu's daughter - she wouldn't do anything to him, apart from possibly trying to capture him.

And besides, he'd always found those Anti-Kid signs slightly hilarious, and he found so few things to be honestly amused about these days...]

[Aoko paused, looking to be actually thinking.] Yeah...it was some sort of anti-sign, so that was me!

[Odd she didn't seem to remember it right away. Then again, this Aoko wasn't quite as young as she looked.]

[Kid raised an eyebrow, though you couldn't see it behind the shadows of his hair.]

Nakamori-chan doesn't remember well? I'm hurt...

[It's getting colder, and the glass on the windows are starting to frost over, but Kid doesn't seem to notice.]

[She pouted.] Well, it's been a while. A...really long while.

[Looks at the windows and shivers.] ....did you mess with the air conditioner for some new trick.

[She's also surprisingly casual despite being around Kid. Comfortable, almost, except for the shivering.]

A while...? You were at my last heist...

[Something is going on here...she's not reacting right to an internationally wanted phantom thief...]

No, no trick. I need my cold.

[His tone sounds almost apologetic, because he knows it's uncomfortable for humans, remembers it being uncomfortable...but it's so warm here, and he really does need his cold...}

The last heist of yours I was at, I was with Conan-kun doing the detectve thing and chasing after you.

[Again, casual. Very, very casual.]

But that's also a long story where it's kind of a game.

[Frowns at that.] Need your cold? [Bites her lip and ponders. Okay, she'd just bite the bullet and probably freak out this Kid.] You're Kaito, right? Kuroba?

[Kid freezes.]

No. I remember my detectives - you've never chased me.

[Something is seriously wrong here...and this girl feels...odd. He hadn't noticed it before now, but there's something off about her, something...old...]

Games are only fun when nobody gets hurt.

[He nods, not offering anything more - before taking a step back when she says THAT NAME-]

No. Not anymore.

[His words snap out harshly, cold like a blizzard, freezing the ears.]

Of course nobody gets hurt. It's just a mental and physical challenge.

[Oh, does not like his reaction to is name. Not at all. Aoko looked saddened.]

...this cold...it's from you, isn't it? And not because of any devices. [A Kaito who WAS Pandora, another who was a legendary heroic spirit, her own Kaito being an immortal with her. No, the idea of Kaito being something other than human was no longer foreign.]

[Kid relaxes slightly at that.]

Nakamori-chan picked that up quick...

[It's sort of a compliment. Not many people realize, and those that do are usually like Tantei-kun and Tantei-san, in that they can look past what they should be seeing, and see what is really there.]

[Kid tilts his head at her curiously.]

Nakamori-chan doesn't seem surprised.

It's become a sort of theme lately, to meet Kaito's who aren't human. And I've gotten used to strange things over the years.

So you're making everything cold...some sort of ice spirit, right? With the ghost on you, it's can't just being a ghost.

Kaito...s? More then one?

[He'll even ignore the name for now, to satisfy his curiosity.]

Over the years...Nakamori-chan feels old.

Aa. Does Nakamori-chan know her legends? Pregnant woman aren't the only ones who died violently in the middle of a blizzard...

Yes. This place...it's a place in between dimensions. It pulls people here, alternates. Like my Kaito is here and he definitely doesn't make everything cold.

[Pauses and nods.] There have been beings that said that before. Because of the reason having a strong magical aura, it gets noticed. Aoko is old. [Very, very old.]

[She frowns, thinking.] Pregnant woman that dies in a blizzard...?

Yuki Onna? Wasn't that her legend?
