[locked from Kaitou]

So I guess you've seen this by now.

I just...I don't know. I'm just so aggravated with him right now. He just lets things explode out of control, doesn't ask for help. And considering that it's been a year since I...well, yeah.

I'm still on Earth, by the way, staying in Mariner Bay for now. We dealt with Trakeena again, and Lightspeed Rescue has their demons under control, but right now, I'm just too angry to make the trip back to Mirinoi.

He makes me look smart.

[powerofpink]

[trying not to be mean and agree]

He makes a lot of people look smart.

[juicy_egotist]

Very much so. Smart stuff is a good idea.

[powerofpink]

It doesn't help that this whole mission was full of not-so smart stuff. Down to a little kid getting involved. I understand Carter was right there, but still. There was no point to involving her that much.

[juicy_egotist]

Not so smart. Yes indeed. No response time faster than the JSDF then.

[powerofpink]

[she's just going to stare for a moment]

[juicy_egotist]

There are a lot of things you can do in response I suppose.

[powerofpink]

I guess, just...

...I'm not the kind of person who can let other people be in danger and not do something myself to try to stop it. No matter what it takes.

[juicy_egotist]

People have a bad habit of making poor choices at heart.

[powerofpink]

Yeah, but Kaitou just has this thing about making explosively bad choices and then not doing anything about them.

[sigh]

Is it a Rider thing, or is it just a Kaitou thing?

[juicy_egotist]

It is a stupid people thing.

[powerofpink]

So pretty much back to my question.

[juicy_egotist]

It is a Rider thing. And a Kaitou thing.

[powerofpink]

Basically.

I want to help, but he's so determined to shoot himself in the foot. How's anyone supposed to help him when he's like that?

[juicy_egotist]

You tell him he is foolish. And hit him.

[powerofpink]

J, the number of times I'd have to do that...he'd be a pinata.

[juicy_egotist]

As if he wasn't already?

[powerofpink]

[humorless laugh]

Then we're all owed a lot of candy.

[juicy_egotist]

Pinatas are only to dispense candy. Yes.

[powerofpink]

So Kaitou dispenses...

[juicy_egotist]

Rider cards.

[powerofpink]

I really should have seen that coming.

[juicy_egotist]

Would he dispense anything else?

[powerofpink]

Well, given what he's taken, I guess it was too much to hope for everyone's stuff back.

[juicy_egotist]

You must beat him harder for that.

[powerofpink]

I figured. Something tougher than a stick, then.

[juicy_egotist]

Reinforced carbon rods.

[powerofpink]

That'd probably do the trick, yeah.

[juicy_egotist]

Yes.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Did he do stupid stuff again?

[powerofpink]

Wouldn't be Kaitou if he didn't.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Everyone does stupid stuff.

[powerofpink]

Yeah, but he takes the cake. And throws it on the ceiling.

[yes_im_kawaii]

That's a waste!

[powerofpink]

That's it exactly. It's like he doesn't know how to try to solve a problem or make it not spiral out of control.

[yes_im_kawaii]

How do we fix it?

[powerofpink]

I don't know. At this rate, I don't think even tying him up would work.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu...

[powerofpink]

Not that you're not welcome to try, but...I honestly don't know how to get through to him anymore.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Egg his house.

[powerofpink]

The problem with that is he doesn't have a house.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Does he sleep in the park and eat garbage, like I used to?

[powerofpink]

No, he mostly just shows up to people's houses unannounced and eats everything in their fridge.

[yes_im_kawaii]

WHAT WHY THAT'S TERRIBLE HE CAN'T STEAL MY FOOD.

[powerofpink]

I...I don't think...

[Don't even try to use logic here, Kendrix.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

I gotta go!

[Rushes off, followed by a series of clangs, clatters, and "Why are you putting traps all around the fridge?"]
