Well here's a sight to avoid behold. A new room has appeared in the building, with impossibly high ceilings and nothing but floors and walls to otherwise grace it.
Oh and there are two... Things. Beating the crap out of each other. "HHHRRRAAAAAAHHHH-!"
One looked like a silver-haired 14 year old a few seconds ago, but suddenly there's claws and teeth

That was new.
If nothing else, he's having to fight off instincts both human and not for the sheer, simple fact that Gin is in the room. But someone else appears to be mauling the owner of the scent for him.
An... other... Conan.
However that works.
So. He'll just be over here by the door, watching. And trying not to get in their way, or get too bothered by the scent of blood.

Leaving ample room for someone else to strike. "HAH! FLYING TIGER!" Flying- WHAT.
Conan has little time to contemplate this as the next thing he knows, he's been tackled by a jumping Koji and pinned to the ground, wings flapping rather uselessly against the ground. "GH- Damn it..!"
"Heheheeeee..." Koji merely laughs, holding his 'enemy' in a headlock. "Gotcha this time..! Admit defeat!"
"GHHHHHH- Not fair, someone else came in!"
"No excuses! One~ Two~" Headlock is holding and- What, he's giving him a noogie? What?
"Will you just look at the door already!?!"

"Get off me Hisoka..."

Blink. Looong blink at the noogie.
"I could ask the same question, to be honest. Two of me?"
He's addressing both of them, sending a cold look in 'Gin's' direction. Who knew - if it had been Gin who'd got him stuck as Conan, maybe he had something to do with this as well.

"WHAAAAAT, not like I'm in charge of whatever's eating you!" Oh how... Wonderfully tactful Koji. "And besides, you don't look too bad..." He sniffs. "...Smell half dead but..."
"Oiiii... Hisoka..."
"Hn?"

"GET OFF ME ALREADY, BARO!!"

[He finds a certain amount of pleasure in seeing mini-Gin tossed off of Conan's back like that.
And... although the statement above wasn't exactly a threat, the point is rather moot. He likely wouldn't do it unless Hisoka was really, really pissing him off.]

Conan rolls his eyes from beside him, dusting himself off. "Tch- much as I'd like to see it, don't bother- he'll just complain about how hard it is to realign your spine when it heals instantly."
Reply
"I'm sure he would. How 'instantly' is instantly?" Call it morbid curiosity. Or the chance to compare to his own rapid healing.
To the grinning tora-ko, he merely sends over a look.
"I've done it before. Don't tempt me, Gin."
After all, even though Conan's called him 'Hisoka', no one's told him that the codename is or isn't applicable still.

"Yea- and how come you smell like human blood?" the other added.
One could pretty much hear the invisible facepalm...

"I'm a vampire, barou. Didn't you say before that I smell half dead? I'm going to assume that's got something to do with you being able to shapeshift into a tiger."
He kind of rolls his eyes, though.
"I didn't get the chance to with his... duplicate." It's weird enough figuring out from what his senses are telling him that these two are basically himself and Gin from some other world. Coming out and saying it like that makes it even weirder. "He's got a sudden tendency to stay away from the area since November."
The smile you are wearing now, Shinichi, does not help make people think you're sane. Then again, with these two...
"It was one of the others back then. Vampire strength. And he deserved it."

Conan just shakes his head and moves to pick up a shirt from where it sits by the door. "I'd be surprised if he didn't deserve it." Pause. "...Others?"
Reply
"Several months ago now... the Organisation collaborated with a vampire gone bad. Prior to that, it's unknown whether or not they knew of... our, existence. With the knowledge that one gave them, they came after me, at a time when I'd be off guard." There's a slight pause, either because it was hard to say or so that he could home in the point. Maybe both. "This time, Ran didn't wait for me."
It might be noticed, however, from his general behaviour, that Ran is still very much alive.

Both get rather stony expressions at that, which could be an interesting point of note. "Right..."
"But she's alright," Conan adds.
Reply
"She is. She came out of the whole ordeal in better shape than I did, in fact. But we're both better now."
