[Kaito's Heart]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

[Playing from start to finish? He knows the rules, but isn't amazing.]

[But if we're in the middle of the game he's going to be staring at the board like it's some kind of puzzle to be solved and work based on that. Puzzles, he can do.]

[That seems to be enough to eventually achieve a come from behind victory, true Tiamat style!]

[As soon as Ed achieves checkmate, hell heart a loud DING echo throughout the room]

[. . . and then an iron key will appear in thin air above him and clonk him on the head]

[Assuming that this is like a normal blackjack deck... The dealer could have at most two cards. Those cards could be wo of the ones he'd need--which are 1 though 5. That's a total of 20 cards out of 48 at most. That means hitting would be...]

[Why am I thinking about this! If Kaito was here, he'd say to just muscle through it and believe!]

HIT ME!

[HE GETS. . . ANOTHER 7]

[which puts him at 9 + 7 + 7 = 23]

[A buzzer sounds in the room, and Ed's hair promptly turns bright pink]

[this ain't a normal blackjack deck at all]

[. . . he does win this hand! And this time, a few yen coins appear in the air above him and fall onto his head. at least they don't leave large bruises]

[These coins contain a memory of Kaito, age four, w]atching his father perform on stage. Tiny four-year-old Aoko in pigtails is with him]

[As soon as he does, a voice whispers in his ear]

Can you answer. . .

A man was going to bleach his socks because they had gotten muddy the day before. As he was pouring the bleach into the washing machine, he spilled some on the floor. He got some cleaning fluid and mopped it up with a rag. Minutes later he was dead. What killed him?
fuhrinkaed: (Is that so..?)

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2014-06-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)

Oh! Did he try to clean the bleach with ammonia? You're really not supposed to do that.
