[While Conan was out by the forest, Xion had been scouting the East District in search of Riku. Something was off about that day though. Something was just strange. Aside from Riku's disappearance. And it was making something in her gut clench tight as she lifted her watch to the sound of his voice- catching sight of something that seemed... but it was out of sight as quickly as it came.
She considered it for a moment while she bit her lip. And then she spoke up, sounding slightly exasperated.]
[Conan lifts the watch but doesn't glance down at it, watching instead the creatures lurking in the forest. It doesn't seem like they'll remain there much longer.]
No luck finding Riku, but -- we found something else.
[No Riku... She couldn't help the sigh that escaped her lips as she brushed her bangs out of her face before her gaze returned to Conan. Now seeming to catch onto his latter statement more with how distracted he seemed to be.]
What... What did you find? [Uneasy. Unsure. What did Temper and his friend do now? Or was it the Interloper?]
Shadows.... Shadows with... [...That description. It was unccanny how familiar it seemed to be. Maybe if circumstances were different, she wouldn't have jumped to conclusions so quickly. But with how the terminals from Naoki's world showed up. And with Riku's sudden disappearance... But could it really be...?
Her brow furrowed in thought.] Do they have- [She drew her pointer fingers up on each side of her head.] -antennas? And do they flatten against the ground?
[There's a pause before Conan's reply, during which the video feed swings erratically.] Not sure about antennas but they press themselves against the ground and dissipate and vanish when hurt--
[Celty, Celty... The name was familiar. So he wasn't alone at least. She nodded then, again.] I will! [And with that, her feed cut out. Had to make that broadcast as soon as possible, after all.]
She considered it for a moment while she bit her lip. And then she spoke up, sounding slightly exasperated.]
Conan, any luck finding Riku?

Don't come -- we're going to get out of here. But -- we need to warn people ...

[And then one firm nod later.] -I'll. I'll warn them in the meantime! [If he was really alright.]

[Conan turns back to the watch.] We got it. Please let everyone know, Xion-san!
