[addictum]

[A relatively short teenager with punkish blond hair and a very conspicuous black coat wanders around the Plane. The first thing he finds is the kitchen. He examines it curiously, all the while talking to himself.]

Doesn't seem like there's anything strange about it... but how does it work?

[He turns on the faucet and samples the water.]Where

Comments

[holmes_fanatic]

... you know, that's a good question.

[Have a tiny seven-year-old with a bemused expression.]

[addictum]

[BUH. Roxas backs up quickly and ends up hitting his head on the inside of the fridge.] Ow... [He rubs at his head, squinting at the visitor.]

Um... hi.

[He's so good at this. SO SMOOTH.]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah, sorry! I didn't mean to surprise you, Oniisan!

[Ducking his head in apology, Conan makes his way over to the sink, opening the cupboards beneath it to examine the pipes.]

[addictum]

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

[He shuts the fridge and watches Conan instead.]

... What are you doing?

[holmes_fanatic]

Answering your question! Or trying too -- I might be able to hear if the pipes are functional. Turn the tap again?

[Conan doesn't even have to duck to get into the cupboard.]

[addictum]

Uh... all right.

[He watches Conan crawl into the cupboard, then turns on the faucet again. Might as well cooperate while Conan seems to think he's not a suspicious character.]

Find anything?

[holmes_fanatic]

[Conan's reply is about as muffled as you'd expect given well, cupboard.]

I can hear water -- but I'm still not convinced there's anywhere for it to go.

[addictum]

Maybe it's magic.

[He says this completely seriously.]

[holmes_fanatic]

Magic?

[addictum]

You know, wizards and stuff.

[Now where has he seen that? He can almost... remember...]

[holmes_fanatic]

Do you know how magic might be able to take running water from one place somewhere else?

[addictum]

[He shakes his head as if to clear it.]

The same way people pull furniture out of bags, probably...?

[holmes_fanatic]

There's a big difference between physically taking hold of a solid object and moving it manually to making a physical object go somewhere else without being present, don't you think?

[Conan's wriggled out of the cupboard and is dusting himself off now.]
