{5th Jingle} Who put that here? [In person/Video]

[Malone's been getting very familiar with the air ducts over the last week, mainly cleaning them so that he's not choking on dust while moving from point A to point B. Last week wasn't very fun at all, and he'd spent half his time moping in the coat closet and he other half in the air ducts. But now that Megamind had some power on and there was a killer on the loose, well...actually, that didn't change much except that when Malone trots through the main hall and throws open the door to the coat closet, he can see a small body tucked neatly up on the shelf.]

Ewwww, how long has that been there?

[The video feed cuts on to show a disgruntled-looking Fool with the closet in the background, body clearly visible and identifiable as Conan's if anyone knows him well enough.]

Has anyone been looking for this guy, by chance? [deadpan] I found him. If anyone would like to come and do...I don't know, whatever...with his body until Monday, be my guest. I'm not going to share my bed with anyone who's a child, dead or not.

[He pauses, horror dawning on his face]

Ack, did he bleed on my sheets?

[The feed cuts out.]

GROSS!

Kufufufu, oh, even children? My that certainly is a pity,

[CLEARLY he doesn't really feel that way]

I know, right? At least the killer had the courtesy to stick him on the shelf. [Malone's tone of voice here is best described as 'flaming' although 'dripping with insincerity' comes in second.]

Yes, having a child cut up and hanging from the ceiling could be quite messy. Convenient that they're small isn't it?

It would be messier if he were hanging from the ceiling. Hopefully the bloodstains on the shelf go away on Monday, when he wakes up.

Oh dear, you're having an issue with stains too? I've got a nasty one on my rug and [~~I haven't found any minions to clean it up for me yet~~] I am having the toughest time trying to get it out!

[This is probably the most honest one will ever find Mukuro... EVER.]

I wouldn't worry about it. Two weeks ago, this place was abandoned. Rotting wood, dust, the works. [pause, deadpan] Two weeks before that, it was a spaceship.

[He lets out a sigh.]

I do hope so. Oh, I don't think I caught your name? If I find anything that gets blood out, I'll let you know.

No, you didn't. This week's guest interrupted us last time. I'm Malone, the Human Key! [sudden smarmy tone] What's your name?

[Human key?... oh he did hope that wasn't some sort of horrific innuendo...]

Rokudo Mukuro. It's a pleasure.

[lies.]

[Oh that's quite disgusting, but frankly the speaker in this video isn't much better. There's no sympathy over the boy- just childish wonderment. The numbers say he won't die, so he'll obviously come back to life. So this is an opportunity to watch that process unravel before his eyes. Quite exciting!]

That boy, [He pauses. The name "Shinichi Kudo" of course is still there, fascinatingly enough, but that wasn't the name the boy employed. He remembered that much from his encounter with the boy and Misa Amane. Oh what was it again? Conan... Edogawa? Yes, that was it.]

Conan Edogawa is a friend of mine. I will take his body. [Nope, not really asking for permission to move it. Just kind of assuming Malone will agree.]

[Malone sounds very...petulant.]

Then you'll have to come and get him yourself; I'm a Human Key, not a delivery boy. And I'll need to see your face or get your name so that I can identify you. I'm not about to have a shin-kicker screaming at me next week for letting anything weird happen to him.

[Sorry Malone, but B has already hung up after the line- "Come get him yourself." He didn't hear a thing after that. A minute later, and he's knock-knocking at the Closet in question.]

[Have a very grumpy-sounding Human Key who is not opening the closet door.]

Who is it?

[Not quite answering the question.]
As agreed Malone, I have come to collect the body.

[in a very sulky tone] What's the password?

...

[Password? Now this was never agreed upon. So who warned Malone? Megamind? The new arrival with the mismatched eyes? Obviously neither. Someone else. Either someone close to Conan Edogawa, or someone who had the skill to hack into B's encrypted message. Hm. If it's the former, the boy talked to quite a lot of people. He was the one who led that laughably pitiful investigation on Gokudera's room. Teru Mikami would be a good guess. No. No, he wouldn't. L would be a better one.

But would L intervene on behalf of a dead boy? Ha! That's funny. L didn't even care when A died. Not that B had either, but that's a story separate from the one at hand. Pesky, pesky secretive people. Didn't they know that if B isn't able to watch this now, he'd simply make an opportunity happen later~?

He slinks off quietly for now. Whoever you are, Shinichi Kudo's friend, you've won this battle, but not the war.]

[Oh GodDAMNit. Of COURSE he wouldn't have been the only detective out trying to investigate-]

[And yes, he knows Conan will be back up within a week, but it doesn't make it easier so much as manageable to deal with...]

Malone?

I'll be right there to take care of him -

That ... is a friend of mine, and as much as death isn't permanent here...

Edited 2011-05-13 07:50 (UTC)

Malone peers at the screen crookedly for a minute before grinning with delight.]

I remember you! You can have his body as long as you come and get it. Like I told the other guy, I'm a Human Key, not a delivery boy.

I'll be right there -

this other -

Little taller than me, dark skinned, black hair, odd accent? [Please, PLEASE let it be Hattori. :|]

[Malone looks rather sulky at that question.]

I don't know. It was audio, he didn't give a name, and he hung up on me. I'm not letting anyone have the body without a name to point him to if he gets pissy about it when he wakes up.

((OOC: feel free to show up and bust B's bubble!))

Damnit. [Not Hattori then; he'd have no issues answering video with video, and his accent would stick out a mile away even if it was only audio.]

I'll be right there.

I'll be in the closet. The password will be 'seventy-six'.

[Feed cuts out]

Thank you - I'll be right there. [And yes, he is going to be in a slight hurry...]

[And shortly after the feed cuts, there's a knock on the closet door.]

[Another knock? Still not opening the door.]

What's the password? [grumpy Human Key is grumpy]

Seventy-six. [Grumpy is fine. Grumpy hopefully means someone else got sent away.]

[And suddenly there's smarmy good cheer!]

Oh good, it's you! [the door opens and Malone peeks out] Mister Rude Hangup has already been and gone away empty handed. [he jerks a thumb at he body] He's all yours.

[He's going to quite carefully gather up Conan's body; he can find the key and get Conan safely settled in his own room, or at least get into the room himself.]

Thank you - I certainly owe you for this.

Although - I'm still a little curious who it was that was so interested in this and if it's someone I'd recognize.
