Yo guys! I'd rather be drawing right now but I can't quite be bothered to do it right now, so have a short story instead!
I love magic tricks! Quickest way to my heart, I tell you guys (just after food of course).
So, do you believe in magic?
No, not particularly.
Naomi is sitting at her computer, fingers dancing rhythmically on the keyboard as she writes up the report of the clues and evidences she gathered during today's research. She stops for a second, resting her face in her hands. She technically shouldn't be writing that report, but it's better to get it done before, and, besides, she prefers the way she does; it's easier to understand when she comes back to them. She stands, walks to the door of her office and peeks out the hallway to go get some water, lest she gets a headache. The hallway is dark, save for a few neon still buzzing loudly in the quiet and peace of an almost empty building.
There's a drinking fountain not to far, and once she refreshed herself, Naomi walks back to her office, the noise of her heels muffled by the carpet. She finishes her report quickly, saving the file and preparing to leave, and just as she gathers her things, a knock on her door surprises her. She's not sure who would be there this late, and just as a precaution, she picks up a pair of scissors from a drawer on her desk; she has to be careful.
Noami quickly and quietly reaches the door, clutching the scissors in one hand and slowly turning the knob with the other. Just as she opens the door, she's greeted by a familiar face, and her shoulders relax imperceptibly; she didn't even notice how tense she was.
"Agent."
"Hey, Miss Kimishima. I was about to leave, and I noticed the light of your office was still on, so I thought I could pay you a visit" her partner says cheerily. "That's nice of you, but I was just about to leave" she tells him.
"Hang on, I wanted to show you some stuff!" he adds before she can leave through the door.
"Is that so? Go ahead then, but hurry it up"
"Well I want to ask first, do you believe in magic?"
Naomi briefly turns the question around in her mind, and her hand is drawn to the cellphone in her pocket. She clutches it absent-mindedly, and answers.
"Not really, why?"
Little Guy seems a bit disappointed, but he carries on.
"I guess I should've expected that answer from you..." he says sheepishly, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. "Still, not matter! I mean, you spend your days either on crime scenes or cooped up in an office, so let me try something."
He proceeds to pull out a pack of cards out of his pocket, and once he gets the playing cards, he shuffles them for a good minute.
"Little Guy, I know this trick, you just tur-" Naomi begins, only to be interrupted by a "tsk tsk tsk" from the man. She glares at him, but he just carries on his shuffling. Once he's satisfied, he fans out the cards, and predictably asks Naomi to pick one. She humors him, and after picking a card, the 8 of diamond, returns in the pile. Her partner shuffles them again, and, after searching, pulls up the 8 of diamond. He's clearly proud of himself, and just as Naomi thanks him for the little trick, he stops her once more.
"Wait, that's not all! I've got mo- wait, what's that?" he reaches out for Naomi's face with his right hand, veers to the side and pulls out a piece of candy from behind her ear. "Hey, I never knew you had a sweet tooth!" he gives her the fruit-flavored candy, and Little Guy smirks at Naomi's baffled face. She clearly wasn't expecting it, and once she sees her partner's face, she can't help but smile a bit. "All right, that one was good" she concedes.
"I guess I held you up long enough, I'd better let you go now".
He reaches for the door, and then Naomi notices something inside Little Guy's sleeve.
"Agent, is that a handkerchief in your sleeve?"
"Oh? Oh, I didn't even notice!"
He reaches out to pull the piece of fabric out, only to have it followed by a yellow one, a blue one, red, green, purple, there is not a single colour that's not there. A minute later there is a heap of rainbow fabric on the floor, and as Naomi wonders how it is physically possible, Little Guy's serious face melts into one of amusement, and he then starts laughing out loud. Naomi is still baffled; she lied earlier when she said she didn't believe in magic, really, but this is just absurd.
"What next, are you going to pull a rabbit out of your pocket?" she asks bewildered.
"Perhaps" he answers in an attempt to sound mysterious, but fails miserably as he wipes out tears from his eyes from laughing so much.
Naomi simply pulls him out of her office by the tie, closing the door behind him.
Did you say magic tricks?
Been a bit busy lately, been a bit demotivated to do anything but play games and watch series! I guess it's just easier.
I finished Dragon Age 2 and oh man that made me feel terrible. It's a good game but you just can't win!
Also, a new one from me, I began actually watching anime series. I'm not a big fan Japanese animations, but I can't deny some good stuff came out recently!
The swimming anime is pretty neat, I mean it looks typical as hell but hey, half naked men is a good change from the usually male-oriented fanservice, am I right?
I also began watching SnK in secret because I don't want my friends to find out and...? It's unfair? That anime has such amazing animation, but holy crap this series is disgustingly good to say the least. I'm not sure I want to see how it ends.
Finally there's also the Dangan Rompa anime, which I was told was made by the same people who made P4: The Animation. I am expecting dubious quality there hahah I still love you guys, and keep throwing them ideas!
