Deduction - 007 [Accidental Voice]

[westdetective]

[Everyone who knew Heiji knew that a little fog wouldn't stop him. No matter how thick the fog may be. No one knew this more than his childhood friend though, which is exactly why she was with him despite his demands that she stay home with Ran and the others. This brings them to where they are now. Lost in the fog. It didn't help that Adam ran off

[...SO BASICALLY, while all that mess is going on, Ran is at home. She does not like being at home, you guys, what is this. How did you even trick her into it this time--?

Luckily she has her communicator though and has kind of been stalking it, because she's worried. So of course she sees that accidental broadcast. It's just a voice, so at least there's no blood this time--not yet--but she can't resist but try to contact them.

Even if she knows there might not be a reply.

It's just like that time again--]

...Guys? G-Guys, what's going on, can you hear me?

[And something like thirty minutes later---]

[westdetective]

[Thirty or so minutes later.

Heiji managed to page back, and Kazuha was still with him, but they were more than exhausted. Maybe even a little injured too. Of course none of them had that it takes to survive this environment.]

Ran. [He breathed. Heiji was so incredibly winded. This place was awful. Just awful.]

We're okay... Don't worry about...us.

Th' bodies...Th' bodies. They're real now...I tripped over one earlier. Whoever's behind this... They mean business. [He heaved. He was tired. Kazuha was hurt, just everything went wrong.] There are writings on th' walls...too.

[ahoutastic]

[Yes, thirty minutes later.

Despite the state she was in Kazuha still had the energy to chime in.]

An' there's... this thing... that was shootin' at us...! There might be more.

H-How can you tell me not to worry about you guys in the same breath you tell me all that?!

[She wonders if her heart's even beating anymore.

The bodies are suddenly real? What does he mean by that? Are new, real bodies appearing? Have the corpses they've already seen--like her parents--have they been turning--]

[. . .

No. No, she refuses to believe it. She turns to Kazuha, her words making her panic even more.]

A-and what "thing"?!

[Can she beat it to a bloody pulp--

Where are they, anyway?!]

[westdetective]

We managed ta destroy whatever it was, so it wont be comin' after us anymore.

Now our only problem is th' fog. [And maybe Kazuha's bullet wound which he isn't mentioning. They'll probably visit Weiss first.]

[ahoutastic]

Y-Yeah. There's no easy way of knowin' where we are.

[...this is why she did not want either of you to go. Goddamnit.]

Th-then I'll have to--

[She is already looking around. Surely there has to be flashlights, or something useful, right? She has to go find them, but--

She lets out a gasp. Remembering.

Remembering that for once, Conan didn't charge after them...]

Wait. But, no, I...I can't, I have to look after Conan--

[waytoopatient]

Ohhh, what am I gonna do now...?!

[dklfkglf all of the frustration! Trying not to freak out. Trying not to freak out... because calm is good, right?]

[westdetective]

Don't worry about us. We'll find our way back.

[He had this town memorized after all. Nothing a few landmarks couldn't fix.]

ONE MONTH LATER... orz

[ahoutastic]

Y-Yeah, we'll be okay. Ya need ta keep watchin' Conan.
