[Here again. Thankfully, he's human today, much more convenient than his seal form.

The mansion seems less crowded than before, or at least he's running into fewer people than last time. Just his luck. In a form where he can easily interact with humans, but none around to talk to.]

I don't even think these two have met in canon omfg

[tsuburaya_kun]

[Wow what an empty place ahhhh... Mitushiko will just be... Wandering. And taking notes and doodling a wip floor-map while he's at it]

[He will probably bump into you. Oops.

hakuba's experience with conan characters is pretty limited

[selkiepaws]

Apparently, the rooms change position without respect for laws of physics. [Hakuba is just going to stop Mitushiko's map-making before the boy wastes too much time.

it really is :'3

[tsuburaya_kun]

Eh!? [WHO--]

[Oh, person--] Ah... Really? They just change, like magic? [no mitsu dont use that word]

[selkiepaws]

Possibly. [This particular Hakuba is half magic-seal-person.] Either that or some sort of technology beyond what humanity is currently capable of.

i'm just so happy because SELKIES. AH.

[tsuburaya_kun]

Hehhh? So we might be in the future?!

[...No. But hey that'd be cool.]

favorite mythical creature aw yes

[selkiepaws]

That is one possibility, but we have no way of testing the hypothesis.

I like the merrow myself eheheeeee

[tsuburaya_kun]

I see... [Ahhhh... ...Wait do they even know each other--]

Ah! I'm Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko! [Quick light bow, yes hello let's be polite about this--] Pleased to meet you!

understandable

[selkiepaws]

Hakuba Saguru. [He bows briefly in return.] I suppose this is your first visit to the mansion?

[tsuburaya_kun]

Ah... U-un. [He nods.] I just opened the door to my room, and then I was here...

[selkiepaws]

In that case, welcome. I've only been here once before, and that was brief, but it seems to be a pleasant place to stay.

[tsuburaya_kun]

You said it was a mansion? Do you know who owns it then?

[...Probably not.]

[selkiepaws]

No, but "the mansion" is what everyone has taken to calling it.

[tsuburaya_kun]

A-ahh...

[Er...] So then... What sort of place is it?

[selkiepaws]

Well, what have you discovered so far?

[tsuburaya_kun]

Aha... Not much...

[Looking at his notes, in fact.] I got a few hallways, and at first, it looked a lot like I was in a hotel. Most of the doors however didn't have numbers on them, and they didn't have peer-holes either, so I didn't think it was an apartment building either.

Since everything is really clean though, I didn't think it could be a storage building either... [Still, that's not bad.]

[selkiepaws]

A mansion is the best way to describe it. [Hakuba walks over to a door, opening it to reveal a small library. Then he closes it and focuses on the idea of pool. The door opens again, and there's a large, open indoor pool.]

[tsuburaya_kun]

[Ok library that's coo--]

He-HEHHH! [HOW DID]

[selkiepaws]

As I said, the rooms in the mansion change position apparently at random.

help this is adorable--

[tsuburaya_kun]

F-From a library to a pool though!?

[Yes.]

it really is

[selkiepaws]

The doors are not connected to rooms in any set way. Any door can open into any room.

[tsuburaya_kun]

Any room at all? [WOAH THAT'S--]

[He moves for one of the doors, trying it himself. Since he was trying to get into his room before, then maybe...]

[Holyshit it worked--]

[selkiepaws]

[An amused laugh, holding the door open.]

Very good.

[tsuburaya_kun]

C...Cool...

[He looks back to Hakuba.] And every room does this?

[selkiepaws]

Every door in every room.

[tsuburaya_kun]

But then, with so many doors, there should be more people, right? [Why would you have like... fifty doors for two people if all the rooms can be anything IT MAKES NO SENSE]
