[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. ._.; ]

[...that does work better.]

So they're not using anything inside to keep people in.

And they want people to not think they're in as much trouble.

[He looks around for a minute, and he's thinking.]

What's outside? Do they have a fence or anything?

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

no, no fence. But you can only go so far away from the manor before you hit something like an invisible wall.

Have you heard of the multi-verse theory?

[Oh screw it on the icons.]

[stalking_horse]

[Blink?]

Yes? Sort-of - alternate history and other worlds? [Science fiction isn't really his bag, science stuff yes, but...]

Right. The theory states that for everything we do a new universe is created in which we did something else-like say my deciding to talk to you. In a parallel universe I wouldn't have bothered and merely continued on my way.

I never used to take any of that to heart-it was an interesting theory-with something like that-it would mean someone like Sherlock Holmes could actually exist.

-but this place confirms that theory to be true. A girl has gathered us all here to be part of her story. While you're here you'll realize that everyone here comes from a different world. There are a few of us from the same world-but not too many.

Not that half of them would work, he hasn't learned pointy yet..

[stalking_horse]

........

So it kind-of is aliens.

[orz.]

Or something like that.

How do you know if you're from the same world?

If it's not something like having green skin or something obvious.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Generally, there are big events that match up as well as history- and if that doesn't work-try famous people. Like-for example Kudo Yukiko.

[stalking_horse]

[Blink. Recognition!] The actress?

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Right! Since you recognize her-you and I are probably from the same world.

Another one that seems to be unique to our world is Kaitou Kid.

[stalking_horse]

[Yep! That dings.] The thief?

[Blink.] Hasn't he been kinda quiet lately?

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Has he? Maa-truth is it's 2010 where I'm from. So he hasn't been quiet at all.

[stalking_horse]

[o_O; ]

2010?

It should be 2001!

[...There really isn't a good way to test that one, is there.]

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

Ah... that would just mean I'm from your future.

[stalking_horse]

[...That makes sense too.]

[I'm sorry. His train of thought has many tracks, and it hasn't learned how to switch between them very smoothly yet. It's more like a grasshopper on meth.]

[Blink. It may be easy to tell there's a question on his mind that he's considering.]

[However, he's going with an alternate one. At least the grasshopper isn't dropping the first one!]

Do you think they took you because of Shinichi-niichan?

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

...Possibly.

[stalking_horse]

[.......]

[Well, if they know who he is, they know who he is.]

[But he's still very much mumbling his name.]

Hakuba Saguru.

[always1truth.livejournal.com]

[sigh]

Hey, you hungry at all? I can't cook anything that's not instant-but there's plenty of stuff to choose from.

[stalking_horse]

[..................]

[Well, sure it might be drugged or poisoned, but it's either that or starve, right?]

...mnnn...Kinda.

[And uh, there might be wheels turning again.]
