[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!

[Here is a colour generator~ Simply click 'Random Background' for your pup's colour, and then fill in this handy-dandy html so other people know what colour you've got!]

[Character Name] leaves fingerprints of this <b><font color="#CODE GOES HERE">color</font></b>.
Filled code example:
Kaitou_1412 leaves fingerprints of this <b><font color="#D76498">color</font></b>.

Also, our apologies for the lateness of this event! There has been extreme RL busy-ness to contend with.

"He doesn't remember it at all?" Shoot. How was he supposed to convince his Shinichi that they needed to let Hattori-san in on things? "And what do you mean, someplace different?"

((Yup! ...I think Ran said it too, but I honestly don't remember now.))

"Come to think of it, Conan-me warned me that he was likely to forget as soon as he got back to that place -- and I mean some place different. He was pulled from his world to it, and so he comes here from that place." Shinichi grimaced, knowing what Ran was thinking. He scrubbed a palm over the scribbles he'd drawn, drowning them in a wide smudge of colour.

[is_not_watson]

"Weird." Ran had turned to idly doodling stick figures on the wall, combating each other with various karate techniques. "But... that's only three people, right? That doesn't mean that everyone will forget."

Even as he said it, though, he knew the odds weren't very high.

"Mature-me said that he thought seeing me here would be good for my Ran, even if she didn't remember," Shinichi said slowly, one handprint forming where his hand had come to a halt. "He said even if you didn't remember, the feeling of being able to say goodbye, the finality -- that stays with you even if the memories don't."

[is_not_watson]

Ran glanced at the forming handprint.

"What about you?"

Shinichi seemed really concerned about what would happen to his Ran, but Ran hadn't heard him say a word about what might happen if Shinichi forgot.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Shinichi had to blink at that. "I'm a ghost," he explained as thought it were obvious. "All I am are thoughts and memories. No one can mess with that."

[is_not_watson]

"This place brought us here in the first place," Ran pointed out, what he thought logically.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Ran was using logic. Shinichi hated that.

"Didn't change me when it brought me here, did it?" he said loftily.

[is_not_watson]

"It didn't change any of us," his friend retorted.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

"There is that," Shinichi concedes. "But I'm not ruling it out until it happens."

[is_not_watson]

"It better not," Ran grumbled, scuffing a kick at the wall. "Why would it bring us here in the first place if we're only going to forget about it, anyway?"

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

"That," Shinichi said thoughtfully. "Is a very good question."

[is_not_watson]

His friend tried to think about that for a moment. "...You said that Conan doesn't go straight home, right?" Ran asked. "Does that mean he goes to a different world instead? Maybe it's what's doing it."

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

"It could be," Shinichi said thoughtfully, finishing in disgust. "There's just too many variables!"

[is_not_watson]

"What about the other two?" Ran queried further, not willing to drop the subject just yet. "Do they go to other worlds?"

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

"No," Shinichi concedes. "But Ran was exposed to the reality of other worlds before coming here."

[is_not_watson]

"Really?" That was interesting. "What about Kuroba-san?"

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

"He may have been being vague on purpose."

[is_not_watson]

"Why am I not surprised?" Especially if the magician really was the Kid. "So... there's a chance that all the people who've gone home knew about other worlds already before they came here?"

That sounded significant, but Ran couldn't put his finger on how.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Shinichi paused. "Could be," he said. "We'd have to talk to Kaito again, but--" It was a definite possibility.

[is_not_watson]

"...That better not mean we're stuck here just because we didn't know about other worlds," Ran muttered, as he realized the possible downside to this revelation.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

"I know about other worlds," Shinichi said immediately. "Well. Realms. I'm not sure what you'd call them -- but they're definitely other."

[is_not_watson]

"Dying's still pretty normal." Ran paused. "...Depressing, but normal."

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

"Sticking around afterwards isn't?" Shinichi sighed. "You might be right."

[is_not_watson]

"We're just going to have to wait and see if anyone else goes home, aren't we?" his friend grumbled, not at all thrilled about the idea. "This place is either really convenient or really not."
