[There's a slight hiss as a pressurized door opens automatically, and Haibara Ai steps into the dressing room, more interested in the clipboard of notes she is carrying than her destination -- though that quickly changes as she glances up and realises this is not her lab. She turns back but the door behind her is now an ordinary wooden door, and opens into a bedroom hardly distinguishable from any other in the mansion. Haibara's reaction shares something in common with certain other new arrivals -- as does her outfit, futuristic in the manner of seventies B-movies.]

Interesting.

It's actually pretty exciting. [Smiling.] Looks like it's just Conan-kun left. And maybe that woman...

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

Left?

Ah, so Kaito-san is here too.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] That's right. At least Conan-kun has to come. [Vermouth was just unnerving.]

But with how fast you and Kaito came, I'm sure he's not far behind.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

No doubt. It's not like him to be the last to anything.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

True. Maybe he's already here? If he's already changed clothes, it'd be hard to spot him.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

He would spot us.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

..true. With how hype aware he is.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

We'll just have to wait.

You said this place was a hotel or a mansion?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

It's a really big building with a lot of rooms, hallways, and floors. Very nice furnishings too, for the time.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

Have you had the chance to look around?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Only a little bit. Tried reaching the top, but even after an hour, the stairs kept on going on.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

No lifts? Where are we now?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

None that I could find.

We're on the sixth floor. There was a library on this floor I was checking out.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

A library?

[That does appeal. Haibara smiles her slight smile.] Lead the way.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There's a lot of books around. Either it's the library or one of the studies that always have a ton of books.

[Smiles and leads the way.]

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

You've taken advantage of this unexpected interlude to catch up on your reading?

[Teasing -- although you can go through a lot of hobbies in eight centuries, Kaito and Aoko have always preferred to be more active than Haibara.]

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Only the books that looked 'newest' so I can be sure what time people are usually from.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

Early 21st century then?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] Yeah. I didn't find anything newer looking, so it looks like the case. Maybe the mansion is smart enough to make some of Haibara-chan's useful books harder to find so it doesn't do something to the timeline.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

It's all right. Unless it has also decided to bring some of Haibara-chan's useful tools as well, I won't need them.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

It might have. There's enough floors that they could be hidden somewhere.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

We don't have to look for them. After so long, it seems almost a waste not to enter into the spirit of the thing.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, you mean enjoying everything that everyone else is used too?

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

Why not? It's not often we can relax like this.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

That is a good point. No real resources for people to kidnap us and try to experiment. Especially with the number of Conan-kun's around. Such a crime would never go unnoticed.
