[Event] A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do

Goo goo... ga...? Gah!

Just a temporary speech impediment. You must've hit your head... Wait... why does everything look so tall? And the hallways so long? Uh oh, maybe not talking is the least of your problems.

You've all been de-aged. Not 17 going on 7 shrunk, but all ages going to toddlers de-sized. You're all still mentally normal (or what counts as your normal), but getting that cookie off the top shelf will be quite the climbing adventure.

Welcome to the Mansion's version of rugrats.

Conan-kun. So that meant somene older, and judging by the facial features...

"Ta'gi cch--" Conan paused to get his mouth around the 'k' sound. "Ta'gi keiji."

"I don' know." He gestured cautiously, having done that once before and thrown himself off balance. "I just foun' myself like this." He brightened visibly, burbling happily as he dragged the Holmes book to display it to the police officer. He didn't want Takagi thinking any further in the direction of 'age changes' if he could, and that meant that he had to still act like Conan.

"Bu' I foun' a Holmes book!"

I am SQUEEING right now. You have no idea.

Well, Conan didn't seem too different. 'Course Takagi didn't feel all that different than normal. Just...shorter.

"Eh? Mebbe someone dropped it." Hopefully, that meant there were taller people around here somewhere. Or at least someone who could help them figure out what might've happened.

Takagi started to turn to look. But he misjudged where he was putting his feet and tripped, hitting the floor face first. He got on his knees and put a hand on his face. "Ow!"

Conan was halfway through correcting Takagi that it was a book he'd gotten in the library when the man-- boy tripped and fell over. Holmes book forgotten, Conan ran voer to his side, worried.

"Ta'gi? You okee?"

Well, at least since he was still mentally twenty-five, he didn't have to worry about the toddler impulse to cry when injured.

He nodded, removing his hand from his face as the stinging went down. Along with a minor revelation. "Tha' didn' hurt as bad as usual."

Of course, that made sense. He had a shorter distance to fall at this height. One advantage to being short, he supposed.

"It's 'cause Ta'gi k-keiji is short."

Sitting on the ground next to the detective, Conan looked up at him curiously. "Ne, Ta'gi? Do you know why we're tinee?"

Takagi shook his head. A thought briefly occurred to him, but he dismissed it aloud, "Eben Kid can' do this, right?"

If Nakamori-keibu was to be believed, it seemed like the sort of prank that'd be up Kid's alley if the thief could pull it off.

"Cc..." Conan made a face, and tried the 'k' noise again. "Kkid's not that good." He waved a hand, more secure in gesturing now that he was sitting on the floor. "Even Gen'a said it was cheatin' to use a hole inna floor to disguise as him."

"Hole inna floor?" Well, that case hadn't happened to him. He'd have to file that away for future Kid heists...assuming his department had the misfortune to get involved again.

Cue toddler version of Takagi's thinking face as he put a hand to his chin. "Mebbe it was somethin' we ate? Or somethin' in the Mansion? It shifts 'round, right?" He shook his head. "No, tha' can't be it."
