[The Blackberry displays a bit of interference when Ran switches it on for the first time. The girl appears, taking a tentative nibble out of her soft pretzel, salted and glistening with butter. She looks like she's about to comment to whoever is out there watching, but her eyes blink in surprise and she looks at the pretzel]

Wow, this is really

I'm sure Mouri-san would be convinced he'd died and gone to heaven if he were right right now - at least until the end of the week. [Saguru probably does seem noticeably less formal-stiff than Sunset Manor - just not being on a murder case, right? :D; ]

Edogawa-kun is around somewhere here; I managed to lose track of him, but knowing him and knowing this place, he should be safe enough.

It's pretty easy to lose track of Conan-kun, so I can't really fault you.

[Ran does appear relieved that Conan-kun is reportedly safe, though. Hopefully he isn't getting into too much trouble.]

[im_in_ur_exit]

I expect he'll probably find you on his own; he's a bright boy and I know he pays attention to the network.

[Well they're not in Silent Hill anymore and there aren't really murders here so :D ]

Has anyone explained where we all are yet?

[lovestartsat0]

[Ran blinks. What kind of question was that?]

Nnnno...is there an explanation for all this?

[Ran gestures a bit towards her surroundings. A pretzel stand and some people walking buy with pints of beer in each hand.]

[namednotdeath]

They have...soda?

[Katherine's trying, but the word still sits unfamiliar in her mouth. She doesn't know what the girl is eating, either, it looks very strange.]

I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone of that description.

[lovestartsat0]

Soda? [Ran has no problem pronouncing it, but what comes to mind is probably slightly different.]

You mean like soft drinks?

[Ran takes another bite from her pretzel.]

[namednotdeath]

[Katherine looks even more confused. She doesn't know what soft drinks are. She knows what beer is, and she had one of those, but beyond that...nothing seems at all familiar. (Fortunately knowing what beer is is actually most of what she needs here.)]

I...don't think so?

What's that pastry you have?

[She looks like she's quite enjoying it, and knowing what food tastes decently seems like a useful thing for Katherine.]

[lovestartsat0]

This? [Holds up the pretzel.] It's a baked pretzel. They have them over here by the dunking booth.

They're really warm and soft!

[Conan is torn between relief and worry- he's glad that Ran's safe, but not okay with the fact that she's here as well.]

Ran-neechan! You're here!

Re: [Video]

[lovestartsat0]

C-Conan-kun! [Ran's tone is a mix of both scolding and relief.] You're safe, thank goodness!

Where are you? I'll come find you!

Re: [Video]

[decadetooearly]

Of course! I can take care of myself.

[Conan displays his surroundings on the Blackberry- around him, there is a carousel, candy floss stands, and in the distance, something that looks like a ferris wheel.] I'm not exactly sure. Everywhere looks the same. [He beams] I know! Ran-neechan! We can meet up at the ferris wheel It stands out more!

[Video]

[lovestartsat0]

[Ran looks much more relaxed at this point, and she smiles brightly in return.]

Great idea! I'll meet you at the ferris wheel then! At the ticket booth?

Little boy with glasses?

[Give her a moment or two before she figures out who you might mean.]

Oh! I think I might have spoken to him once or twice before.

[Video]

[lovestartsat0]

Really? [Wow, this girl is so cute! She'll have to ask Conan about her later...]

Have you seen him around recently?

[Video]

[livedinatower]

[Give her a moment again to think about it.]

Hmmmmm, I think the last time I spoke to him was a few days ago, but I'm sure he's still around somewhere.

[ Laughs. Chidori was really enjoying herself and taking pictures and videos of all the sights and sounds of the Octoberfest.

It was difficult to hear anything with the cheering crowd, but she managed anyway. ]

That sounds a lot like, Chibi-kun (Conan)! Ne, ne? What is his name?

Maybe I can help you!

Re: video;

[lovestartsat0]

[Blink.] "Chibi...kun..." -- his name is Conan! [Ran stares for a second at the girl on the screen. She doesn't seem that much older than Conan, but...]

I'm over by the soft pretzel booth, if you see him...
