So, Natsumi found this Facebook post and asked for someone to translate it. Enter Mikau. I thought the rest of you might be interested too. Here's the link to the Facebook post: And the link under the Facebook post: realdgame.jp/wc/The facebook post says that a company named "Scrap" has been sent a Kid heist announcement. If you follow the link below that, it sends you to look at the heist notice itself. The heist notice itself says that Kid saw what was on the page before (the "Real Breakout/Escape Game" by Scrap), and he was not impressed. On Christmas Eve, Kid will come and bring us a more appropriate present. At least I'm thinking it's Christmas Eve. The message just said "Eve", so it's either Christmas or New Year's, but to me, "Eve" means Christmas. And that would be an appropriate time to give us a present. Don't ask me what the "Real Breakout/Escape Game" or Scrap is. I have no idea, but that's what Kid's notice says. Maybe if someone else has some more info about what exactly this is about. All I've got is the translation. *Shrug* -Kara (aka: Mikau)

Does anybody know anything else about this? Maybe I'll have to do a google search or something, 'cause it's kind of bothering me. NATSUMI!!! Why must you force me to translate stuff that piques my interest? (Even tough Mikau translated it of her own free will. Gleefully even.)

Wait *looks at URL*... isn't WC like... doesn't it refer to toilets, like that one time in the Shinkansen Murder Case? (oh and now that I looked closer I think that's a toilet bowl just behind Kid's notice... Maybe that's why Kid's not impressed or something? He did say "lack of elegance" didn't he (if I'm even looking at the correct Kanji, lol)...? Now I'm majorly confused and even more curious...

Yeah WC could be "water closet", and that does look suspiciously like a toilet. I was just looking at the heist notice before. I didn't even see the background! Now that you mention it, there's some kanji! Gasp!
Okay, it looks like what the heist note is covering up is the "Escape from the Western Style Toilet". What? Like, what?
And yes, the literal translation of that katakana you were looking at says lack of elegance. I tend to paraphrase and summarize when I translate unless something is of importance. If I were translating literally, I think I would have picked "unrefined". Anyway.
Now I'M even more confused and curious.

See, Mikau, this is why I was curious and wanted you to translate. Just the fact that it was a Kid heist note and that with help from rikai-kun I was able to tell that it was something in the real world. And now that we know all this . . . What on earth is going on???

Ah-le? Wait what? What real world? Which real world? What's a real world *confused*? huh? *tilts head* What's happening? What's going on? LOL, now apart from blowing up planes and whatnot here's another thing a certain thief in white should explain...

As in our world real world. Crazy. Publicity stunt maybe? I like it. I'm excited to find out what the heck is going on. So many exciting things! We've got the "real life Kid heist" on Christmas Eve, and the two hour special movie thing on Boxing Day, and there's the recent hype about the crazy new movie. Super exciting!
I feel like I should grab Kaito by the ear and sit him down for a talk, though. "Listen here, young man. What is the meaning of this? It's like I don't even know who you are anymore! Blowing up airplanes?! Stealing games about escaping from western-style toilets?! What happened to you, Kai-chan? Have you finally snapped?!" Or something like that. I have a feeling that I'd end up covered in pink glitter and streamers and smelling like bubble gum (or whatever his suspicious pink smoke smells like). *Shudders* Pink. Ick.
Aaaaanyway. Yeah. I like all of the interesting translation work I've been getting. Information about Movie 19, real life heist notes, cool izakaya t-shirts. Keep it coming! I need to keep up on my Japanese somehow! ^.~

If it is a publicity stunt, I SO hope it's on some news channel/on the Internet where I can watch it XD Ohhhh, how amazing that'd be~ And if it is one, I wonder how many people would be there . . .

I wonder how this is even going to work. I mean...on Christmas Eve is a different game just gonna pop up on the page or something? If so, what kind of game is it? And can I play too?! Pretty please, Japan?! Throw me a bone!

I'm curious about how they'll do it too . . . I feel like the game just popping up on the page is a bit anticlimactic, but how else would they do it? I mean, it's not like they're actually going to stage a Kid heist, right? *Imagines the company getting the police's permission to help pull off a large-scale Kid heist*
Guys, what if this was another one of those fake advance notice things that Kaito's always got to deal with? I mean, obviously it's not KID Kid, but you get what I mean.

Mikau, I just realized that there's more to the page under the heist note if you scroll down. Can you translate what that says? Or at least whether it has to do with the heist note or not? I mean, you did want us to give you more things to translate, after all . . .
. . . And now that I actually decided to try and read what I can read, it looks like it's not just on the Eve, but at midnight on the Eve, if "0 時" is anything to go off of.

Hahaha! Well, this is JAPAN we're talking about. People who hold a live Vocaloid concert are capable of holding a live Kid heist.
Oh. More text? I guess I really was just focusing all my attention on the note itself. I didn't see anything in the background. I'd make a sucky detective. -.-; *Goes to look again*
