[Event] Whatever you do, don't high-five

[modoftruth.livejournal.com]

Your hands look normal, feel normal, and even smell normal. There's nothing out of the ordinary... Except when you touch something (or someone) else~

You'll start leaving handprints, fingerprints, streaks of colour along the walls, furniture, and along other people's skin. There's a different colour for every different person, and who knows what happens when you high-five?

Be imaginative!

Ran ran down the hall playfully, running her hand across the wall. Laughing she began to simply draw stick figures on the wall. "This one will be Dad, this one will be Mom." She began to write the names above each figure she made. Grinning and laughing at each one.

Walking down a hall, txting furiously -- somewhere in this mansion had to have celphone reception -- Sonoko caught sight of the small girl painting on the wall and paused to watch. What kind of a detective convention allowed elementary school kids? ... like that had ever stopped Conan.

Curious, Sonoko walked over to the little girl. "Who are you drawing?"

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran turned to the girl behind her, who looked slightly familiar. She then smiled happily. "I'm drawing my family and my friends!" She turned back to the drawing. "See, this is Dad and Mom holding hands. This is me and my best friend Sonoko. And this person over here is Shinichi. He isn't with everyone else because he's looking for clues on a case!" She explained, before touching the wall again. She moved her fingers so that a building formed behind everyone. "That's my home!"

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

Sonoko peered into look at the picture. Pretty tame stuff considering they were in a mansion full of detecting-enthusiasts, she decided. "No one cares if you mess up the walls?"

"Sonoko? That's my name too." She snorted as the little girl described her other friend. "Boys. Go figure. I know a Shinichi and he's just the same."

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran shrugged," I hope not, I don't want to cause trouble." She turned to Sonoko surprised.

"Really! My friend is Sonoko Suzuki! She's really rich and pretty." She turned to her drawing again. "Shinichi is really into becoming a detective and wanders off a lot."

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"Let's see if it'll come off," Sonoko said putting her hand on the wall and rubbing at the edge of the girl's house. To her surprise, a new colour appeared where she touched and Sonoko drew back her hand surprised. "What on earth--?"

It took her a second to register the little girl's words. "Talk about coincidences! I'm a member of the illustrious Suzuki family too. We must be distant cousins or something!"

Ran smiled, " You can do it too!" She shouted happily as she looked at the new colour. It was a shade of blue, unlike her which looked somewhat like a maroon. She turned to Sonoko. "I haven't told you my name yet, have I?" She thought then shook her head.

"My name is Mouri Ran!" She introduced herself.

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"A talent I never even knew I had." Sonoko traced a line across the wall, all thought of getting in trouble for vandalising forgotten. "Nice to meet you -- wait, Mouri Ran? What are the odds! My best friend's name is Mouri Ran as well."

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran giggled at Sonoko. Then started to draw again on the wall herself. She then stopped and turned to the older girl next to her. "That can't be right, I don't have any cousins that have the same name as me. And it would be really creepy if another Mouri family has a daughter with the same name as me."

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"Ran's a guy," Sonoko said. "You might not be related at all." Though it really was a bit too much of a coincidence. "Your friend Shinichi ... surname's not Kudou, right?"

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran let out a sigh of relief, then went back to her drawing. Sonoko had gotten her spooked for a moment. Hearing her speak again, she glanced up. "Yup! Kudou Shinichi, son of a writer and actress!" She then turned to make another figure.

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

As Ran went back to her drawing, Sonoko just stared. No way. That was too much to be coincidence. Which meant--

Identity theft? Nah, too young. Besides would a criminal come to a detective convention? Wait -- convention! That was it!

Cosplayers do start young these days, Sonoko thought, crouching down to talk to 'Ran' once more. "So your friends, Sonoko and Shinichi, they here too?" she asked.

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran stared at what she wanted to call 'Crazy Lady' and shook her head. "Nope! I don't think they are. I'm lost and I wanna go back home to Mom and Dad. Dad is a police man though, so he should be here soon." She frowned at the thought of her dad looking everywhere for her and shut her eyes for a moment.

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"Don't worry, kid," Sonoko assured her. "I'm sure he'll be here soon enough."

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

She nodded before wiping her eyes. "Thank you," She murmured quietly before opening her eyes and blinking. Looking up at the lady she realized something. " You look like a older version of my friend; Sonoko."

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

That was a weird thing for the kid to say. Surely she should recognise the people she and her friends were cosplaying as? Sonoko stared down at Ran, a sudden thought occurring to her.

For someone who didn't have any cousins, the resemblance to Sonoko's best friend was rather surprising. "I got a photo of my Ran and Shinichi on my phone," she said, pulling it out. "Want to see -- oh this paint had better not last!" Ignoring the blue she was leaving on her celphone, Sonoko found a snap of the three friends together at the highschool, Ran and Shinichi in the boy's uniform, Sonoko wearing the girls, all grinning and waving at the camera. "There!"

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran blinked and looked at the picture. "That person looks alot like Shinichi." She said pointing to Shinchi in the photo. "Except he's older." She then looked at the other person. "I don't know who that person is. Not a clue. And that person is you right?" She pointed to the picture of Sonoko and thought for a moment. "The person in this picture has the same smile as Shinichi too. What did you say his name was?" She asked with a small frown. All of this talk was really hurting the first grader's head.

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"Shinichi," Sonoko said helplessly. "His name is Shinichi." She felt just as lost as little Ran. None of this made sense --

"Wait! My Ran -- him in the photo there -- he said this place is -- special. Something about other dimensions that I was really paying attention to ... maybe this is what he meant? That people come here from worlds where things are different?"

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran thought for a moment,"Yeah, that must be it." Her head hurt to much to think anymore, so she decided to go ahead with what Sonoko said. She turned to what she was drawing and drew another stick figure, "There that's you!" She said with a small smile.

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"Glad we figured that out," Sonoko said, fishing out her handkerchief and trying to wipe the paint off her phone. She stared in disgust at her now paint splattered handkerchief before giving up with a sigh.

"That's me, huh? You're not bad at this." Sonoko considered both the drawing and little Ran a moment. "You know, this is actually pretty cool. I now have two best friends!"

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran nodded and smiled, "Thank you!" She spoke gleefully and giggled quietly. She then looked up at Sonoko. " Two best friends?" She questioned, quite confused on what she meant.

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"Yup!" Sonoko held up one finger, standing in what was known in other universes as her Sonoko-the-great pose. "My Ran -- best friend number one! And number two--" She blinked at the little girl. "Can I call you Ran-chan?"

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran smiled," Sure! I'll call you Sonoko-oneechan." She was happy that she found someone that she could be friends with, seeing as how she hadn't met many other people.

[so-too-rival.livejournal.com]

"Fine by me!" Sonoko grinned. Really, this kid was too cute -- but then that was Ran in any form. A worrying thought occurred to her -- was the Sonoko in this Ran's world into girls? No, Sonoko caught herself. She was only a shogakkou student -- far, far too early to be worrying about that. "So, Ran-chan! What are your hobbies?"

[learnskarate.livejournal.com]

Ran thought for a moment," My hobbies? I like playing with Shinichi and Sonoko, and I like drawing, exploring, reading is sometimes fun." She stopped to think again. " I'm also thinking about taking karate!" She blurted out happily. "What about you?"
