Ne, I was wondering ... I didn't really notice any new arrivals this week. Usually the train drops people off on a Sunday, right? So I was wondering ... has anyone seen anyone new? Are they settling into the city all right?

Ne, ne, why don't you let us know what they look like so we can look out for them, and help them to feel at home!

[This is one heavy, heavy guilt trip....so onto something different.]

There are crows in the mirrors here.

[Creepy? Yes, but her Sister paranoia is screaming horrible things.]

[Talk about conflicting emotions. The worry and fear has gone, disappointment's set in, and now an entirely different concern has blotted it all out. It's a complicated mental and emotional jump, but Conan decides to handle this the same way he would any case.]

In the mirror?

((ooc: at this early stage of the event, Conan's only seen a quick glimpse of Gin in a window, so I'd rather not have him spoilered to the nature of the event!))

((ooc: Okiedokie. Elle's just been really jumpy cuz she hasn't been sleeping and just pacing and stuff to get enough glimpses that she's alert. Tags will be slow cuz I'm really sick atm.))

Not exactly in the mirror, but I'm not sure how to describe it. Maybe I'm just seeing things. I haven't been sleeping well.

((ooc: really hope you don't have the bug I have! I'm going to try to go to school today, but plan on cancelling my Japanese class and just sleeping tonight.))

What precautions are you taking?

((Idk, are you really nauseous and can't talk cuz your throat is too sore? Cuz that's what I have. OTL ))

I'm sticking to one room and I moved the mirror to another.

((recurring fever, cough, sore throat, and last night I broke out in spots that have since vanished. Yours sounds really nasty -- take care!))

That's not what I meant. Is your location secure? Unknown?

[holds_his_hand]

((You too~<3))

The house I'm in is fine and not going to collapse around me if that's what you're asking.

[Private Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

Are we really having this conversation?

[Private Text]

[soothedsaving]

Apparently we are.

I'm sorry, Shinichi.

[Private Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

I don't want to hear that from you.

I want to know you have a secure place to be, as well as a back-up location should it be compromised by any well-wishers, means of getting yourself food and water and medicine should that be necessary and that you've talked to Christine.

[Private Text]

[soothedsaving]

Yes to all.

[Private Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

Sorry for asking this but --

Do you still have her clothes?

[Private Text]

[holds_his_hand]

Yes.

[Private Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

Can you leave them somewhere for me to collect? In lieu of a formal identification -- it's all we've got.

[Private Text]

[soothedsaving]

[It takes her a long moment to send a reply to that.]

They will be here:

[The destination is not too far from the house she's occupying, but still around the edge of the town.]

[Private Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

I'm going to get them now.

Before I do though -- let me know when you can talk about what happened. I don't want to push you, but we need to get things down on paper before you forget.
