[The feed comes to life to show a young boy with glasses made dusty by the building he's woken up in. He doesn't particularly seem to care about the dust, though, instead glancing around as though someone might pop out from the shadows any moment.]

Hello?... Um, I'm not sure where I am, but it's really dark and scary and I don't know where my friends went... [He takes his glasses off, wipes them with his shirt and hurriedly returns them to his face.] And nobody else is around! Are we playing a game? It's not a very fun one... I don't like it.

[Tenatively:] Ran-neechan? Kogoro-ojiisan?

[And now he'll leave the Blackberry on video as he waits for someone to fill him in.]

[...there's another child here. In this setting, this cannot end well.] Unfortunately, this isn't a game. Have you got any details on your approximate location?

I don't know what's going on, but I don't think it's a game either way.

*Conan, you're getting this range of faces:*









*before he makes sure the video is private and responds*

[ Hey, it was a kid. But oh no --- this really wasn't the best time for a young newcomer like this to arrive. ]

Hey! [ She looks worried and --- very very scared. ] You shouldn't go around this place by yourself ...

Where are you?

[It's ... Conan. And apparently Conan with no memory of the Manor, which could mean he's back, could mean he's from an earlier point in time, or could mean another case of the weird thing where he wasn't sure if it was an alternate version or what. Whichever it was, it was Conan who wouldn't have a clue what was going on and where he'd stand a good risk of setting off about fifty different paranoia alarms! Whatever does end up coming up - since this is hardly a good time for an extended attempt at catching him up to speed on EVERYTHING - Hakuba's ... pretty sure he doesn't want it on a visible feed.]

[And if he looks a little less impeccably kept than normal, with a few soot and blood smudges here... well ... shouldn't be hard to guess why. Or guess why he's carrying a crowbar like a weapon. Or why the usual deadpan's a bit more worn and less smug than usual.]

I see your luck continues to be horrific, Edogawa-kun.
