[You can smell smoke.

This is not usually a good development, so it's natural that no matter where you are in the mansion, you'd stop what you're doing and look around. Maybe glance towards the open window and catch sight of a plume of grey smoke in the distance. Glancing out of the window, you can see that there is a small -- shed? shack? At this distance it's hard to tell -- building erected on the lawn.

In front of it a small campfire is burning brightly. There's no sign of anyone tending it. Do you invest--

Sorry. Silly question! Forgot who I was talking to a moment there.

Of course you investigate.]

[Some nodding at the bedtime stories. Alright, that's one point down. ...Uh-]

Hnnn, sounds like. They could all just be pricks though. [HAHAHAHA Koji you were one of them at one point]

As for the question, it's because meta-humans aren't necessarily controllers. Think of it like this. You're human right? But that doesn't make all humans you. Not all meta-humans are the same. So, if the controllers are meta-human, that doesn't mean they represent all of them.

As it is, that version of them doesn't exist in my world.

[Conan frowns.] I think I see. Ayumi's different from Genta, and Mitsuhiko's different from Kaa-chan, who is different from Sonoko-neechan.

And you're a Gin but you're different and called Koji ...

But I'm the same ... you said they were here? The other me's?

Yea, exactly.

Er... [Rubbing the back of his neck.] Not quite the same in my case... More that I 'out grew it'?

[Koji you're the size of a ten year old.] ...something like that-

But yea, there are other 'yous'. Most of them run at the sight of me, 'cept the one from my world I guess...

Outgrew it? I didn't think that could happen.

You have to admit, the other yous are pretty scary.

Ehhh... Give it three-ish years of psych-torture... [Technically, it was one, and then he shrank and was pronounced dead by some other lady since the alternative was experiments. ...On him.]

But yea I guess I see your point. My world's 'you' probably wouldn't agree at this point but... Yea, I can see where you're coming from.

And that made you different enough you're not the same? [Conan's torn. On the one hand, non-scary Gin is a good thing. On the other ... he doesn't ever want to grow different enough that he's no longer one with his others.] I'm sorry.

[That admission gets a smile from Conan.]

Do you want to stay and eat? I caught a rabbit.

Eh. It's fine. It was that or becoming the next live experiment to be honest. [That's what he says, but lets face it; he's the master of hiding his base emotions when he wants.

And what's that about rabbit?] Rabbit? Haven't had that for a while! Sure.

How about I show you around in there after? Place likes to change a lot, but there's a few permanent locations...

I think there's an indoor forest on the third floor actually... [Huh. He'll have to check again...]

[mollified! good going, conan]

And that's why it was rude to ask.

[continues on to the dining room]

Live experiment? [As they talk, Conan retrieves the rabbit from earlier. The fire's still too hot to cook it, but he can get to work skinning it at least.]

Ran-neechan showed me around a little. I'm not sure about it. [But if it's Gin saying it ... surely he'd know?] It's really all right?

An indoor forest?

... [Conan's still unsure about this logic Ran.]

I'm not.

Errr... Yea. Long story short my 'co-workers' weren't too adverse to live testing in the face of a chemical accident gone wrong. [AHAHAHA... AHA...

Bit of an awkward cough.]

Yep! Perfectly fine, aside from the fact that we can't get home... Though that includes the place OUTSIDE so... Yea.

Pretty sure there's a forest somewhere. If there isn't, it's not too hard to make one show up. There's not much of a limit to what you can ask to find behind a door.

It's not rude to ask what something is if it doesn't look human and you are wholly unfamiliar with their species.

[come on, basic etiquette. most people don't give the rubbery men even that much[

[Conan nods. That makes sense. He doesn't see the difference between Gin's employers and the Controllers, really.]

We can't get home? [Conan looks up from gutting his rabbit with some alarm.] But--

What do you mean, make one show up?

But what about things that look human but aren't? That's when you need to ask the most.

If you're worried about time, there's no need. It doesn't pass while we're here. [Which is weird but OKAY.]

[At any rate, despite the mildly unnerving look you might catch toward the rabbit (WAIT UNTIL IT IS COOKED-), he nods.] I mean exactly what it sounds like. You think about what you want to see behind the door in terms of scenery, furniture or whatever... And it'll show up.

...Doesn't work for getting people though, so don't try that.

Look human but aren't?

[Conan nods slowly. An advanced synthesizer? Or -- a very well-made storage system? He can figure it out later. Either way, now skinned, beheaded and with its guts removed, the rabbit meat is getting cut into small pieces.]

Because the people are here already?

[Conan nods.] Like me.

[~~wait until cooked wait until cooked wait until cooked-~~]

That or they aren't- not everyone from the home worlds so to speak are here after all; so trying to make them show up doesn't work.

[Cut into small pieces, the rabbit meat is carefully pushed onto the stick Conan found earlier to act as a skewer. The campfire has been slowly dying down, but Conan carefully separates some coals from the rest of the fire to begin cooking the rabbit meat over that.]

How long have you been here, Koji-kun?

Eh... Couple of months maybe? Ayumi's been here longer... The Conan from my world, let's call him 'Megane' [Because lets face it he only remembers the name 'conan' because of how many there are at this point]... He came in around when I did.

I think some of the others here have been here for around a year though, it really varies...

[Conan's interest perks at Ayumi -- his companion must be right about time not passing, because he knows for sure that Ayumi hasn't gone anywhere.]

Eh -- a year?

Yea. You'd have to ask one of the Kuroba's about it; they'd know for sure.

[...Careful Conan, the 'Ayumi' Koji speaks of is older than the age he currently looks... If anything she's closer to Ran's age.]

Where can I find Kuroba-niichan?

[visibly surprised!]

Then what...?
