Just out of curiosity, has anyone discovered/owned a combination of equipment that would make a perfect outfit to resemble someone else? Or even just an outfit that would match, instead of having a combination like: a Sequined Flapper Dress, a Golden Turban, a Tommy Gun, and a Silver Handled Cane?

I discovered one last night. If anyone's familiar with Kaitou Kid (Phantom Thief) from Detective Conan (Case Closed), the way to replicate Kaitou is to have this combination, copyrighted by moi: White Zoot Jacket, Formal Top Hat, Silver Handled Cane, and Exquisite Monocle.

I know they don't go together in terms of statistics, but it would be a fantastic cosplay outfit. *would be willing to pay well over $40,000 for the Formal Top Hat alone*

*is completely lost*

....uhhh...okay...anyway you don't need to pay quiet that much for the hat. If you get in with The Circle with a standing of 30+, the formal top hat is only $30,000

Well, I know that. But I don't want to have to leave New York just yet... Bad experience in Delhi. But I think $40,000 would be an appropriate sum to give someone, in exchange for retrieving it for me. >>;

I don't think that's an appropriate sum at all. Giving someone 10K.

It costs money and cases to travel back and forth to NYC. The person needs to leave their agency, and join another, and deal with the 48 hour factor.

It would end up costing the detective to retrieve your top hat. Maybe it is a better idea to let someone in your agency to get it.

*frozen* Caught me on that one. Just realized that. *looks at time* Yeah, I had just gotten up when I posted that... *wishes he could edit his own post* But what do you mean by "the 48-hour factor"?

And you cannot blame me, for I shall hide behind the shield of "oh, my God, I want a Kaitou Kid-dressed detective". ...And I'm sure I'd end up paying someone more than $50,000 for retrieving it for me. I can be too generous at times.

LOL. It is hard to say what time you posted it.....I don't know where your local time is. :)

Quitting/(re-)joining agencies or whatever the construction was is blocked. This to prevent an unfair advantage that would be the case if an angency was to rotate agents in and out of their agency, holding favours etc. etc.

USA EST. @@; 2:13 A.M. is Sleuth day beginning.

Oh, great. </sarcasm> *whine* But everyone in my agency is domestic (to New York, that is)! ...Fine. I'll travel... some day. I must make my Kaitou outfit.

:D Finally! I've done it! The perfect Kaitou outfit!

White Zoot Jacket ($45000)
Exquisite Monocle ($4000)
Silver-Handled Cane ($12000)
Formal Top Hat (courtesy of jstkdn) ($30000)

And very handsome you look :)

Or did, til you spoiled it with that dragon thing! what were you thinking?

Aug-31-2005 17:08

Bwa? I couldn't keep the outfit on because of the difference in stat increases. The dragon pendant is part of my usual wear. I'll put the outfit on in three hours, when I finish with my cases. =P

With the outfit, my Charm is only 8 but my usual wear gives me 18, so I had to.
