The Shortest Shades of Grey Fic yet

"...Kid?"

"Yeah?"

"A comment on tonight's heist?"

"Yeah?"

"Toilet paper is not designed to be utilitized as weapontry."

"-Gotcha."

-fin-

hee hee hee. #^^# Sorry.


Other random note:
The second to last night at my old house, I was just about to step into the shower when there's a knock at the door. Figuring that it was someone about the 'for rent' sign out front, I ignored it.
For the first 2 knocks. Then I grabbed clothing and answered the door.
A small young woman imedetatly demanded to know how long I'd been living there.
-two years.
She then wanted to know if I knew who lived there before me.
-Didi, a very nice lady who'd lived there for about four years. I've met her several times.
She then wanted to know if I knew anyone who'd lived there prior to that.
-The one before Didi was an elderly handicapped man in a wheelchair who died there. I only know because I was asked when I moved in if I was okay living somewhere someone had died. ^^;; (which I am. And he's not haunting the place. Or if he is, he's friendly)
Turns out the old man who died there was most likely her Grandfather, it was his last known address. ^^;; She lives all the way over in New York and since she was in the area, her mother demanded to know what happened to him. #^^#
I ended up passing her along to my previous landlord for confermation.

But it made for an interesting night. ^___^

TP is not weaponry?! ::snorts:: They used to throw them off the balcony during "flix nite" - was always fun trying NOT to get brained. TRUST me, TP rolls work Quite well as weaponry - I had bruises to prove it.
They are, perhaps, not quite as effective as bricks, and are a little less than dignified. But with some velocity... don't knock its potential. ::snickers::

Sort of sad that it took them six or so years to look him up. One of those bits of other people's lives that you're left wondering about.

As for the Toilet Paper... can be nasty if it's soaking wet. (Kosagi's sons have given her much experience in this. *sigh*)

Yeah. From what I understand, there wasn't anyone at the funeral either. ~_~ Kinda makes me wonder. o_O

Love your new icon!!!

Icka-sempai, you indeed live an interesting life. ^_^ And TP seems so Kid-like. *grin*

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Don't think it's so much that I have an interesting life, it's just my POV on it that's odd. ^^;;

Hmm... should make that a challenge.
Write a Kid hiest involving Toilet Paper or something... ^__^

XD Hope you don't mind entertaining the following ficlet:

It was the grand daddy of all pranks. Generations of pranksters, jokesters and trouble makers learned about this before they even walked.

It came to no surprise Kaitou Kid would use this traditional form. In his own personal touch of course...

Nakamori: *in a bathroom stall* WHERE THE !#$)@$#%# HAS ALL THE TOILET PAPER GONE?!"

A bit lame but I remember all the times I got caught in the bathroom and there wasn't any TP, and I can see Nakamori's point. ^^;;

*snickers* So just cos he knows for sure now, he gets to critique? *snerks* Can just see it...

Yeah, I can just see it.

Oh damn. *zooms off to write*

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

So just cos he knows for sure now, he gets to critique?

Yup.

One of the main mental pics that spurred me on to continuing to write the damn story is one of the Kid hopping down off a building and Hakuba stepping out of the shadows and informing him of all the minor flaws in the heist. Then Kid rolling his eyes and debating it with him. ^^;;

mwuahahahaaa! Go plunnies, go!!!

TP not a weapon? Oh, c'mon... remember the TP-cannon I told you about? If you set the roll on fire, it can do a SERIOUS amount of damage, although as I understand it the only thing damaged on impact was some tree-branches. Good thing they missed the house... Too much butane is an Ugly Thing.

Ysabet... you worry me sometimes.
And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

[ysabet.livejournal.com]

But *I* didn't shoot it! I just made suggestions!

I wish you could see what happens when you shoot a roll of TP with a trebuchet, though; that's IMPRESSIVE. Now that one I *did* do, years ago at an SCA event. Those buggers can really make something fly quite a ways... I wonder whose tent we hit?
