Conan Edogawa - Case 030 - [In Person]

[Conan is angrily playing soccer by a wall he can kick the ball into when he so feels the need. He's not a happy camper and this happens to be his way of blowing off steam.

Every time the soccer ball comes back he kicks it right back at the wall- he's so wrapped up in blowing off steam he's not really aware of anything going around him right now]

It's just an anesthetic needle-it's also what I use on Occhan.

[he continues to bounce the ball- visibly starting to calm down]

My take on that is that I don't know them well enough to have an opinion, yet.

...I wonder if it'd be at all possible to force Gin into using all his bullets up. No one here would give him a refill I'm sure-but I'm also sure he carries at least three guns on him at all times-I know Vermouth does.

Simple enough. As I said - I'd have to do some more research to figure out what anesthetic is normally used for it, and it might be a little longer-lasting than normal for a while.

Altruists can be useful, particularly if they're reasonable ones; I might have to see what I can find out about them. [He sighs a little.] I'm probably not going to be helping with the courts directly so much - it seems like you need a mediator more than another detective.

We'll have to introduce you to Sable - although I'm not sure about her helping with Gin; she can't fly, and I don't know if she's familiar with firearms.

[Thinking....] The gun I saw him with was a semiautomatic; larger clip than what I've got - that could take some doing.

Well, we know he's use one bullet already--though even after that gun is out of rounds, I'm sure he has more ammunition on him.

....

[he looks up and the soccer ball hits his knee and rolls against the wall]

...What exactly is Sable?

So basically, we need someone that could get him pissed off enough to unload at them a few times, who'd survive it.

[..Oh, that should be easy. >_>; ] Assuming he falls for it enough to work.

[Pause] She's a dragon. We met her in Paris and ah - sort-of wrecked a toy store. [Sheepish >.>; ]

He'd probably catch on quickly though-we couldn't do it all at once.

--[A dragon. Right.]

I guess the Author really doesn't have a limit to the kinds of things and people she brings here.

It's still going to take someone good at being obnoxious to him who probably has some kind of powers.

I'd say convincing him it's not worth his trouble is a good plan to try while we're working on that. Is he prone to unusual methods, or are any of his refuge in audacity stunts seriously odd?

Apparently not. I wouldn't call her a pet, though; she understands us just fine, and seems just as intelligent as any person.

Explosives. With the science lab in the basement it might be good to have some sort of passcode to get in there...

[...he'll have to go meet this dragon later]

Interesting.

Beyond that. How odd does he get? Is the helicopter as crazy as he gets?

[Yes. And then you can be pounced and licked. :D ]

I'm not sure.

Could be problematic; depending on how creative he is, if he wants to try something badly enough, running out of bullets might not stop him until he decides to do something else with his time.

And after that post to the network, I'm not sure I'd put much past him.

...What post?

.......................

The anonymous one while you were still out that was almost painfully embarrassing.

Except for one small heart attack that thankfully went nowhere.

By the way, I'm going to be teaching Nakamori-san how to be paranoid, and possibly giving her some warnings of dangers to watch out for here.

...What happened!?

[He goes flat deadpan, pulls out his Blackberry, and pulls up the post.]

[Because there are no words for "Gin went schoolgirl-cute to try and fish for information.]

Technically speaking, he didn't gain anything, and we got a good warning that we've kept Nakamori-san too out of the loop. She doesn't need to know details, but ... well, I've already started warning her about things like this, which she hasn't had to think about before.

How could she not know better!?

Because unlike the rest of us, she's had a normal childhood; her father isn't around home a lot, either, but she didn't get brought to the station, so she's been insulated from it. She's never been given a reason to think this way, and we all took it for granted that she'd somehow know on instinct alone what we know because we were raised in it.

She knows now, what that kind of thing means, and that she did risk your life there - she wants to be a cop, so I have an easy way to volunteer to teach her survival skills without flagging it as suspicious.

I'm sure something like that falls under common sense. [He... may have just called her stupid :|]

You'd be surprised. After all, I'd be almost out of work on my major cases if most people didn't take others at face value; there's a certain amount of implied trust that goes along with any society where there's a decent sense of order and safety. The greater majority of people don't think about the lines where that breaks down. She's been kept too protected from it in the past - she cares about people, and wants to believe in the better part of human nature, and those around her that know that, have ... always been more inclined to make sure she stayed well away from any harsh lessons, to protect her from getting hurt. [Himself included, so far.]

... Which, obviously, is turning out to be very flawed logic.

[he sighs] Well, as long as he does try going after her, I guess everything should be fine.

Basically.

Given how many other places she's basically only protected by being too fluffy for most people to want to harm her, I think that even if he weren't here, this place would be reason to start early on teaching her how to Not Be Prey before she tries to go into police work.

[Which ... is almost depressing, with Aoko.]

Being cute wouldn't be a good defense against Gin.

If he learns she has a connection to you, she'll be in big trouble-I would recommend watching over her closely if she's that [~~dumb~~] naive.

I can't watch her twenty-four seven - the best I can do is watch her as closely as I can, and teach her to watch out for herself so we can turn our backs on her now and then.

I still say that convincing Gin that open warfare isn't worth his time is better than somehow expecting to stop him.

Look--if Gin sees any kind of tactical advantage in killing us, he will--and if Haibara happens to show up I'm going to need your help in doing everything possible to protect her from him.

That's part of my point. He knows there isn't a tactical advantage. Attacking "Conan" was an attack of opportunity, and he's stated that going after Kudo Shinichi here would be less a mission and more just vindictiveness.

[Saguru nods.] That would be our traitor, yes?

Quite understood - what I'm trying to do in regards to Manor politics might make that both harder and easier.
