[Conan had been thinking these last few weeks.  A lot.  For over a year he had been trapped here, and he had reached the conclusion that he could not allow himself to merely exist here any longer.  Even one murder was too many.  But it had been clearly demostrated that the current Watch had no capability for investigation.  And he knew of no one else here who could change that.  With Gin's presence here, that needed to change.  And so he had begun to come up with a plan.  He reaches for his communicator.]



 [Locked 65% to Kresnik]

Ne, ne, you're still in charge of the Watch, right?  There's something I want to talk to you about.

[/Lock]



[That done, Conan returns to the rest of the plan.  He had slipped into isolation these past few months.  With Gin here it had made sense.  The last thing he needed was to draw the assassin's attention.  But he refused to spend the rest of his time in this world always hiding away in fear.  There were investigations that needed to be done.  Situations to keep track of.  And so he opens the video function again.  This time with no filter at all.  And gives his brightest and most innocent smile.]

Hello!  It feels like its been a really long time since I used this.  Are there lots of new people here?

Oh, and here I was starting to think you'd knocked down another building and freed us of your presence...

Why raise my hopes just to dash them like that?

[Hello panic attack. Conan hastily tries to pull up his acting skills as he calculates the best way to be dismissed as a stupid kid.]

Being under that building was really, really scary! And you're really mean.

[Voice]

[crowsong]

And you're a snot-nosed brat who needs to learn to stay out of my way.

[Gin, you're the one responding to him.]

[Voice]

[modernholmes]

I will! [Please lose interest and stop talking to him.]

Oh... I'm not exactly new, but I don't believe we've met before... I'm Ilyana.

Re: [video]

[modernholmes]

Nice to meet you! I'm Conan Edogawa.

[video]

[ilyana]

To be honest... I'm a bit surprised to see anyone quite as young as you here. Is anyone here looking after you as your guardian?

Re: [video]

[modernholmes]

Mmm, Ran-neechan takes care of me.

[video]

[ilyana]

Ran? I don't think I've ever met her... then again, I've never met you before either... So I guess that's understandable.

Re: [video]

[modernholmes]

She's really nice. Ah, but we haven't been talking to a lot of people recently.

[video]

[ilyana]

That might explain why I have not seen much of you... although I haven't been talking to a lot of people either. I've mostly been worried about looking after a friend of my own.

Re: [video]

[modernholmes]

Did something happen to your friend?

[video]

[ilyana]

No it's just... Heron Laguz are very frail... they're sort of high maintenence as it were, so I worry about leaving her to fend for herself. She's also very naive having lived a very sheltered life as princess of her tribe, only to have most of her clan destroyed.

Re: [video]

[modernholmes]

Heron Laguz? What is that?

[video]

[ilyana]

They are a species in my world much like human beings, except that they were blessed by the goddess to be able to transform into herons. They also have wings, white if they are of the heron royalty like my friend Leanne.

Yes. What is it, Conan?

I wanted to know if anyone ever thought about making a group to investigate things. Like Heiji-niichan used to do!

At home the police always had departments that were supposed to figure out how things happened and who did something.

[nameofexorcist]

There hasn't been any recent interest lately. We require more qualified people.

Re: [Video | Locked 65%]

[modernholmes]

I helped the police at home with that kind of thing. Heiji-niichan and Uncle too! Maybe I could find out if there is anyone else who knows anything about it.

Because I think its really important.

Re: [Video | Locked 65%]

[nameofexorcist]

If we gather enough volunteers, then I don't see any reason to not establish an investigations group.

Re: [Video | Locked 65%]

[modernholmes]

I can ask around!

Re: [Video | Locked 65%]

[nameofexorcist]

Alright, I'll see if any of the other members of the Watch are interested in investigating as well.
