...This is never going to end, is it? Sheesh, it's like I'm just wandering aimlessly.

[ Flips his phone open for a second, sighs, and begins to send a text message on it. ]

She's probably busy. I know I shouldn't bother her but ...I think I really need directions at this point.

[ Text, Text, Text. He's oblivious to the world around him as he makes an error here and there, erases them, and rewrites the sentences in a more cohesive manner. ]

[Hmm... he looks kind of familiar...]

Hello!

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

Ah-!

[ Flips it closed and turns around ]

H-Hello, Miss! Are you from around here?

[abluechild.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not really sure what this place is... other then confusing, at least. May I ask your name? I'm Nakamori Aoko.

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

I guess it's some sort of vast, empty space. I'm Inspector Takagi, Nakamori-san. I feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one confused here.

[abluechild.livejournal.com]

Inspector... does that mean you know my Dad? Nakamori Ginzo?

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

Y-You mean the Naka- that bossy guy- ...

I-I-I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me, he's really a legend on his own, isn't he?

...Yahoo fails at giving me alerts DX

He's head of the Kaitou Kid task force and will catch him for sure. [nods determinedly]

[Well, here is a familiar face! Shinichi quickly checks that the baseball cap he's wearing is pulled down to cover his bullet wound. He's not sure that Takagi will be able to see him -- pale, dressed in a black suit and looking like he's just come from a funeral -- as he waves hopefully.]

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

Oh! Kudou-kun! It's been a while hasn't it-?

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

[Success!]

It certainly has. Keeping busy?

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

[ Scratches his face, wondering how to go about this- he blushes slightly as he turns away ]

I- Y-Yeah, you could say that. It's been pretty hectic without someone like you around! We're managing, it's really not so bad. How's that case going?

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Life goes on? [There's a bit of wistfulness to that, but you could easily think you'd imagined it.]

Mine? Not -- as well as I'd like.

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

[ Stops now, notices something seems... off in Shinichi, at least from the last time they crossed paths ]

...Kudou-kun?

[ pauses ] You shouldn't stress yourself out on a case, you do look a little pale- it won't do anyone any good if you're too tired to deduce a situation properly.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

[Kudou Shinichi, being humble? World must be spinning on its axis.]

[It is nice to be acknowledged, even worried about and Shinichi's grin is much more himself.]

Don't worry about me. Worry about what Officer Sato's going to say when you're late to your briefing.

[blossomedpolice.livejournal.com]

[...She apologizes for being late, but there were more important things to do. She's just going to surprise you by being all "srs bns" and saying one word.]

Takagi.

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

Heeyah! [ That was the manliest girl-scream Takagi could come up with as he drops his phone, turning quickly to face Satou-san ♥ ]

S-Satou-san! Don't scare me like that!

[edogawashinichi.livejournal.com]

You get phone service in another dimension, Takagi-san? That's a pretty impressive phone.

[Oh, look. There's a Shinichi. Whose wearing Conan's glasses. Weird that, huh?]

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

[ Muttering to himself here, but hasn't looked up yet ] Is that what's wrong with this thing?

[edogawashinichi.livejournal.com]

That or this is still my dream. I'm not sure what I believe yet.

Either way, it'd be pretty amazing it still worked.

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

A dream? I haven't even thought about that yet- Oh, Kudou-kun! You're looking much healthier than before. Are you feeling better now?

[edogawashinichi.livejournal.com]

[Blinks. Now he looks confused and maybe...a bit panicked?

He adjusts his glasses, letting the fidgeting go to his hands before it shows on his face.]

Takagi-san, what do you mean Kudo-Kun? I'm Edogawa, remember? [Why did everyone keep saying he was Kudo?!]

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

Huh? What? Edoga-

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

[ Stops dead as he takes a better look at his glasses and that face. ]

C-C-Conan-kun?!

[watsonseyes.livejournal.com]

No, no, what am I saying? You're probably his older brother, right? I don't think Conan-kun ever mentioned having one but...-

[edogawashinichi.livejournal.com]

[And there was that moment of total and utter 'ohshit!' expression on his face before Takagi keeps talking and he relaxes. Just slightly though.]

W-what are you talking about Takagi-san? It's me, Edogawa Shinichi. Conan's my distant cousin, remember?
