5th Turn [Video/Action] Forward Dated to the 26th
[It's late at night that the video feed opens. The thief is there, not remembering proper camera etiquette again, with a finger held up to his smiling lips. "Be quiet," he seems to be asking. Not that it would save him.
While he's requesting quiet, he himself is haphazardly humming a soft, haunting melody, the title of which he will swear to the day that he dies that he doesn't know. For a man who hasn't spoken to God in years, his humming is strangely reverent.
The viewers soon realize why.
The thief removes himself from the video feed, presenting a scale replica of a cathedral that some may recognize as the forever incomplete Sagrada Familia, the magnum opus of the deceased architect, Gaudi. Done up entirely in matchsticks and glue, and delicately standing on the coffee table in front of Lupin's zebra print sofa, it is but a faint echo of the original's majesty.
Astute observers will notice something different about it--it doesn't look as incomplete as it is in real life. The thief comes back into view, smiling.
There are secrets lingering just beneath the surface of his gaze. He will say nothing that will indicate what, though.]
Beautiful, isn't it. Been feeling a little nostalgic, for some reason. I thought the Old Man would appreciate it.

...
And how is a mermaid your daughter?
no subject
The usual way. [Usual being... adoption... via a Shift in Luceti... :|]

...
Wait. You mean she's your biological daughter?

[Annoyed.] There was a Shift and she wound up as my daughter, but after it ended she said she still wanted to be treated like that. Does it matter how?
no subject
That woman who couldn't die normally was called a mermaid, as were her decendents. It's just an ongoing symbol I keep stumbling upon.
...must be genetic. My grandfather loved that mermaid woman, even if they never exchanged even a word.
For the record? I think we're close to the same age.

Hope you don't mind, but I wanna meet this Keimi-chan one day. It's a rare chance. [To beat his grandfather at something, even if only in this one place.
Even if he won't remember it once he leaves.]

No worries, Cap. I'll be good. She's probably too young or too kind for my tastes anyway~
no subject
She works with a woman [*cough* Pony] named Rarity doing custom clothing designs. Don't tell her you're a friend of mine. [Because then Keimi would think Lupin's a marine.] Just that you're also taking lessons in jitte like she is.

[But he still told him where to find him so it counts.]
