[This particular Hakuba Saguru is blinking awake from his position on the floor, obviously rather disoriented.]

Oh, what now?

Comments

[A nod, ignoring Kuroba's expression.]

I'm not usually human. It would take a great deal of difference in the time-stream to make me human, or to have a human version of me.

[pandorabox]

[eyebrow]

What are you then? [okay, he'll bite]

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

Well, there are humans, and there are aliens. Since I'm not a human, let's see what your brilliant mind comes up with.

[pandorabox]

[There's a slight pause as he thinks, and when he speaks again, it is in a complete (and very serious) deadpan]

Giant cow monster.

[A sudden flash of a grin, Kaito was always amusing.]

Fantastic. I suppose you don't need any more information then.

[pandorabox]

Did you come here in a giant milk-carton shaped space ship? I bet you did. Was it chocolate or soy? I hope it was chocolate because everyone knows that's the superior flavor of milk.

I'd better go tell the Prime Minister we're being invaded.

[Mind you all of this is said completely and utterly tongue-in-cheek]

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

Chocolate, yes.

[A pause, consideration, then pulls out and flips open his pocket-watch. Annoyance, shaking it once or twice before he clicks it shut and puts it away.]

Who would the current prime minister be? I'm rather out-of-date at the moment.

[pandorabox]

Depends on what country you're talking about. I meant Japan, and his name is Yukio Hatoyama.

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

[A moment of thought.]

Early 2010's then?

[pandorabox]

Good guess!

[eyes him knowingly]

Time traveler?

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

You really are brilliant, aren't you?

[pandorabox]

[... Kaito has decided he likes this Hakuba so much more than the one at home]

Lucky guess!

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

You and your luck.

[There's something almost fond in his tone. But he isn't looking at the magician right now, he's wandering into the nearest room, looking around, very much a detective.]

[pandorabox]

[He follows, acting like a companion without even knowing it]

Last name is Kuroba, remember? [a beat] If you remember.

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

Of course I remember.

[Pulling open the heavy curtains of the library they've stumbled on.]

What's out there?

[pandorabox]

Good question. I haven't gone outside. [a frown]

Come to think of it, I don't remember coming across any doors that lead outside.

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

Well, that would be the first order of business, wouldn't it?

Pity you don't have that blaster on you.

[pandorabox]

Why? Windows are just as good as doors.

[he decidedly doesn't comment on the blaster, because he has noooo idea what the Doctor is talking about]

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

If the windows open.

[Sonic. Blaster. It's not a banana.]

[pandorabox]

If the windows don't open then why would the doors open?

[how ironic that his mun just watched that episode last night]

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

Because some windows are not designed to open, Kuroba. I would prefer not to break a window when opening a door would suffice.

[Are you my mummy?]

[pandorabox]

And here I'd thought you'd be more fun than that.

[Soooooob]

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

If you're certain that there is actually atmosphere out there, be my guest.

... I bet the window just leads to another room

[pandorabox]

Don't see a reason there wouldn't be.

Somebody did go outside at some point.

[temporaltantei.livejournal.com]

If I have to save your life, you owe me one.

[Stepping back from the window now.]
