“Well, well~ We really need to stop meeting like this, detective!”
The voice is cheerfully spoken, calling across the dimly lit halls of the museum. The lights were all off, aside from some of the display lights that gave a gentle glow on the objects in their case. If the other was here, that must mean he’d already found the “PHANTOM’s” calling card - left in the case of the object he now held tucked under his arm.
The object was a “GLASS BUTTERFLY,” a symbol of peace built from the remains of stain-glass windows - a project that had stirred some . . . harsher feelings. After all: Someone had technically looted some destroyed churches to make it.
But? That wasn’t why he was here. Instead, he’d decided to steal it to keep the illusion of it being a SYMBOL of PEACE - looking into the artist had revealed a history of violence. And some tests pulled by some of his team had shown that the other had infused a harmful substance into the glass, when they’d been melting it down to create this. It was better for it to disappear, meaning p e a c e then to be discovered as something of a (T R O J A N ‘ H O R S E).
“Though, I think you’ll find that if you wanna catch me~ You’re gonna have to shoot. If not, I’mma just . . .” He starts, looking out the window he’d already had a member of DICE jimmy open for him. “Let myself out.”
He wouldn’t rush - however. He was buying for time - it appeared? His GET-AWAY car was a little late today. Not that it surprised him. D I C E was a bunch of dependable nerds . . . but? They also had strong opinions, and he was beginning to wonder whether or not he’d assigned a driver. . .
In his MASK, as the PHANTOM THIEF, he was known as: “JESTER” - the leader of DICE. So far? His true name was hidden, even now, but? This young DETECTIVE really was catching him faster and faster . . . He was clever. There was no denying that. But? Kokichi was no quitter. “Though, I suppose if you do shoot. . . I could become startled.” He continues, holding the box out a little - so that it, at least, was outside of the window.
