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.))

... 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.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

... they're gone now though, right?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

Of course-they were just here for Halloween.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

That's something ...

Ne, Shinichi ... What happens when someone is 'written out?'

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[He looks at her a moment- had no one explained that part to her yet?]

Hm? I don't really know-but I think it just means the Author gets bored of the person and sends them back home.

They don't die-the laws of death aren't the same here-it's not permanent and most people come back within a few days. Still though, taking a life is an unforgivable thing which is why me and some other people are trying to instate some kind of law and order.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

[All she'd wanted to do was ask about getting home. This ... Well, that was one thing that hadn't changed at least. Shinichi could still kill the mood of any conversation quite effectively. Ran walked beside him, expression downcast. She didn't want to ask how they knew that death was temporary ... ]

Is this the maze?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[He looks up to see the beginning of the hedge maze and then nods.]

Yeah, There's probably Christmas decorations lining the way.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

[Ran nodded.] Lead on.

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[he starts off in the maze, staying nearby so she can walk beside him]

Is there anything else you want to talk about?

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

[Ran tried to shake her depression and think. She didn't have that much time with Shinichi, she should make sure she used it well.]

How long have you been here?

[mei-tantei.livejournal.com]

[Shinichi paused to think about it]

I guess it's been a few months.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

A few months? But -- London?
