[Accidental Audio/In Person] *-My childhood, diluted-*

[stalking_horse]

[Over the feed, there's the sound of a door being shut as carefully as a currently slightly panicky eight year old can; he's trying to be quiet, really he is!]

[It's still audible, especially with a very small whine when the manor creaks and a noticeable jump.]

[He's practically whispering to himself in a continuation of the whine; he's ... pretty upset.]

Tousan's gonna kill mee ...


Not even my fault this time...

[For those in the hallway where his room is? There's currently a little amber-eyed blonde eight year old flattened against the wall, slinking down the hall and being ... incredibly jumpy and obviously a little terrified. He's actually dressed slightly normally for his age, if a bit bundled up in a slightly too-big jacket.]

[OOC: He's been reverted to eight years old, and ... well, it's just before he got sent to London. I'm also so not going to go hunting icons for him as a bitty. ._.; ]

[There is a little girl bounding up to you! She's wearing a pink jumper and long white sleeved shirt.]

Hello!

[nofishplz.livejournal.com]

[And she is followed by a little boy in a blue sweat shirt and baseball cap.]

Aoko-chan! Wait up!

Huh? [He stops and blinks at the other boy.] Hey, who're you?

[stalking_horse]

[Oh god you are way too happy for this right now don't you know how much trouble you're in.]

Sssssshhh! [He's holding up a finger for silence and looking around for any signs of anyone else.] They might hear you!

[abluechild.livejournal.com]

[Aoko just looks confused and tilts her head to the side]

Who will hear us?

[she looks at Kaito and then Smiles brightly] I dunno-just met him.

What's you're name~? [she turns back to little Saguru.]

[nofishplz.livejournal.com]

[Kaito does actually understand though, because it's weird how they ended up here, but he wasn't too worried. Aoko was here and his daddy would come get them eventually.]

I don' see anybody else around.

[Why does he have blonde hair? Is he a foreigner? He doesn't sound like one. Oh well. When Aoko asks for the boy's name, he grins.] Yeah, my name's Kuroba Kaito!

[He points at Aoko.] An' this is my friend Aoko-chan!

[Kaito as a child is... pretty forward.]

[stalking_horse]

[Bliiiiink. You two haven't thought about this at all, have you.]

Them. I think we've been kidnapped. [You two are confusing him no seriously.]

[But he does look around for a minute; it seems clear.] Mnnn...

[He sorta mumbles it; he could get in trouble for this.] Saguru.

[abluechild.livejournal.com]

Aoko likes your name! [she smiles again]

Do you wanna play with us?

[cantapollygize.livejournal.com]

[Hello, bittySaguru! You have a very ruffled-looking defense attorney in a slightly less horrible outfit than what he was wearing yesterday. Granted, they're well-kept jeans and a college hoodie, but it beats pajama pants and a borrowed shirt.]

...Hey, kiddo. [He's tilting his head a little. Doesn't that kid look kind of familiar?] What's got you so spooked?

[stalking_horse]

[Blink.]

[Blink.]

[He kinda stares up at you for a minute - you're the strangest kidnapper he's ever seen, but you're inside and this doesn't look like a public building so-]

[There will be a "HEEP!" and then he's off running down the hall.]

[Granted the stairs down are on the other side of Apollo, hence he's running AWAY from the exit.]

[cantapollygize.livejournal.com]

Wha-- hey! Come on now, what did I do? It's not the hair, is it? [Because people can't seem to stop poking fun at the hair.]

[He's going to chase, and he's actually in fairly good shape, so, uh.]

[stalking_horse]

[Yeeaah he can probably manage to keep up.]

[Granted, the kid's surprisingly fast - it's a bit of a "lookit those little legs go!" - but he's also uh, well.]

[Ducking into the storage room to find a hiding place!]

[This may not work so well.]

[cantapollygize.livejournal.com]

[Apollo is chasing, and frowning a little as he looks around.] ...I bet it's the hair, isn't it? Everyone keeps saying things about it. I didn't think I was that scary, but I guess I must be if I scare nearly everyone younger than me that I run into... like Machi and Vera...

[Siiigh. He's going to just flop down in front of the door and wait. At least this way he's between the kid and harm's way? He's sort of scared Saguru will run into someone strange other than him.]

[stalking_horse]

[you might be waiting for a while. He's hiding in a storage-box that was less full.]

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

[...Why is there a small child here? ...aside from him as he doesn't really count and nor does Haibara... He looks kinda jumpy he's definitely sneaking around-he also looks kind of like-oh dear God.]

Ne, what are you doing?

[if it had been a run in with the apoptoxin he'd be a little more upset then this-something else was at work here.]

[stalking_horse]

[You are way too calm and this is confusing.]

[he's staying kinda flat to the door and looking at you very funny.]

'm trying to find out where I am. What're you doing?

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

[...yeah, definitely not the apoptoxin. Maybe he can calm him down somehow?]

I live here of course- what are you doing here?

[stalking_horse]

[That may have been the wrong thing to say.]

[He flattens up against the wall more for a second and you just got the "oh god you're with them" look.]

[And then he kinda blinks, and glances around as if checking if anyone's around.] I don't know...

I just woke up here.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

[...Oi, oi.]

Really? that's what happened to me a few months ago-but it's not really that bad. Shinichi-niichan is here somewhere too so I won't get homesick.

There's a lot of fun things to do in the game room-but I prefer the library.

[stalking_horse]

[....................... :| ]

[You are getting linefaced at.]

[He really shouldn't be dropping the act this fast, but. LINEFACE.]

Is Shinichi-niichan related to whoever owns this place?

[lildevilkaoru.livejournal.com]

What are you doing?

[stalking_horse]

[He jumps, although he manages not to yell so much as make a very undignified stifled squeak, and blinks up.]

I'm hiding - I think we've been kidnapped.

[Yes, he is dead serious.]

[lildevilkaoru.livejournal.com]

If we've been kidnapped then wouldn't we not be moving freely?

[stalking_horse]

[.......]

Maybe.

Maybe there's something else keeping us in.

Why else would we be here? [Yes, he's dead serious.]

[lildevilkaoru.livejournal.com]

I don't know, maybe someone just likes stealing people.

[stalking_horse]

.......... [The odd direction of your logic confuses him.] But ...

Isn't that kidnapping?
