Kudo Shinichi - Case 036 - [In Person with the Great Detective of the East]

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[Shinichi shuts a door behind him and adjusts his shirt some- a tiny bit of steam can be seen coming off him but it quickly dissipates. The great detective is feeling pretty happy right now-after all he's not stuck in the usual punt-sized body.

He takes a few breaths and stuffs his hands in his pockets before starting off - now to find Ran]


((ooc: Come meet the great detective of the East :D He's nice-just a bit arrogant. Feel free to stop him in his quest for Ran.))

[Shinichi nods and waits for Ran before heading in the direction of the stairs and out towards the front door.]

Been awhile, huh? Since we've been able to hang out.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

Feels nostalgic, doesn't it? We might even be able to find a squirrel.

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

I doubt it-it's probably too cold for them. They're probably all sleeping in trees.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

Eh? They hibernate?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

Mm, they gather food and stuff in the winter and hide it--well, sort of they don't sleep like bears do but they do prefer to stay in their trees and conserve energy--that's why you don't usually see them around in the winter.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

Really? I never knew. [Why had Shinichi even learnt the habits of squirrels? Ran stopped herself -- she'd learnt long ago that it was useless being amazed at just how much her best friend knew.]

We might see birds though, right?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[Shinichi gives her a small smile as he reaches the front door]

Probably.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

[Ran turned immediately to retrieve her scarf and gloves.] Slow down, Shinichi. You've got gloves somewhere?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

Eh? Nah, I'll just keep my hands in me pocket-A little cold is nothing.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

It really is cold out -- if you catch a cold, you're not going to be able to help anyone, you know.

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

I won't catch a cold-I have a jacket on and I'll keep my hands in my pockets-problem solved. [there's also the fact he doesn't have gloves to fit him while he's Shinichi]

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

... you're sure?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[he pulls the door open]

It's not as windy today and that's really what you have to worry about-the wind chill.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

Well ... just let me know the moment you feel cold.

[Ran knows your tendency to be dumb about these things, Shinichi.]

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[What are you talking about woman? I am always smart. :|]

Ah, I can do that. [He won't-but he can. And now he's holding the door open for her to go first]

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

[Remember the time you caught cold because you gave me your umbrella? Hang on -- what is this, manners? Ran blinks a moment at the opened door, then laughs.]

You don't change. Come on then, show me what this place has to see.

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

Oi, I change plenty.

[he's closing the door behind them and stuffing his hands in his pocket just as he said.]

Alright-let's go through the hedge maze.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

[This is what Ran thinks of that.]

The hedge maze?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it-my sense of direction is better then yours.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

[Cheap shot.]

I wasn't worried.

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[Grin~]

Then what's wrong with the hedge maze?

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

Nothing's wrong with the hedge maze.

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[He starts in the direction of the maze]

You're really lucky you weren't here for Halloween-the Author really likes holidays.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

It was scary?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

Not for me-but you'd have been scared. There were things creeping in the maze then- I think a few people really didn't care for it.
