15 strangers r7 | Week 3, Late Thursday (Kaito)

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[The stage was set.

If no one came into the casino tonight, then that, as they say, was that. Moriarty would remove the wedges from the slot machine, and leave - hoping that someone else had done the deed to spare the lives of innocents.

But, the Casino itself was a place for someone to forget the world around them - in here, nothing more than a game room, but still holding the allure of having everything be stress free, for a time. And he had decided to also allow what would happen tonight up to luck, as it seemed...fitting.

He would not attempt to win this - he knew he was walking towards his death of his own volition...and merely wondered why it felt so familiar.

So when someone actually steps through the door, he steels himself -

- and sees someone he absolutely did not want to be chosen for his plans.]

K-Kaito?

[His voice trembles for a moment, before he quickly masters his emotions, putting on a genial smile like always.]

...Haha, I must confess, I didn't think I'd see you tonight. What are you doing up here, and so late?

[Kaito wasn't trying to focus in on anything in particular. He'd wandered in mostly due to the fact that this was kind of an...oddly nostalgic environment, in some regard. He remembered losing in gambling to Ryoma, Kokichi getting excited, Shuichi staring at the entire scene in awe while he just--well, he lost, so he wasn't happy at the time, but...

It seemed so simple back then.

Now he was just planning to use a slot machine over and over. He hardly expected to win anything - what would happen if he did? Probably something stupid. Zero might come out, do a silly dance for him, then taze him. Or something. Zero works in mysterious ways.

He then heard a voice, and he looked up.]

Oh. Hey, Moriarty. Uh, sir.

I couldn't sleep. So I kinda just wanted to--do somethin' mindless, I guess. Heh. And I didn't wanna bug anyone else to try to get things off my mind, so...
