[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

[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!

[Don't be sad, Ran. :(]

Yeah! I want to! Can we?

[Action]

[lovestartsat0]

[Ran smiles brightly. Great. She can kill two bird with one stone by keeping Conan-kun nearby and occupied while she tries to get her bearings on things.]

You bet! Do we need to get tickets or is it one of those things you just get on?

Re: [Action]

[decadetooearly]

[Conan, meanwhile, is hoping the ferris wheel will take Ran's mind off things.]

I think it's the first one. I ran past a ticket booth on the way here. [He points in the direction of said booth.]

[Action]

[lovestartsat0]

Ah! Alright! Wait here while I grab some tickets, then?

[What are the odds that Conan-kun would run off? Ah, well. Ran will take her chances.]

Re: [Action]

[decadetooearly]

Okay!

[Conan's not going anywhere. Ran is here, after all.]

[Action]

[lovestartsat0]

[Ran runs off to grab two tickets, and quickly returns to Conan's side, handing him his ticket.]

Here we go. There aren't many on the ride right now. Do you have a preference for which color car we ride in?

Re: [Action]

[decadetooearly]

Ran-neechan can choose, if she wants!

[Action]

[lovestartsat0]

Red car it is, then! [Ran holds out her hand for Conan to take.]

Now, don't let go, okay?

Re: [Action]

[decadetooearly]

[Conan takes her hand firmly.] I won't!

[Action]

[lovestartsat0]

[Ran smiles. Having Conan here certainly made her adjustment to this strange place easier to handle. Leading him into the ferris wheel car, the door was closed behind her and she took a set across from the young boy.]

I wonder if we'll run into anyone else we know here?

[Ran propped her chin on her hand, leaning against the side of the car and gazing out the window.]

...wouldn't it be something...[Her words drifted off at the end of the sentence.]

Re: [Action]

[decadetooearly]

Maybe we might find ojiisan around?

[Conan took his seat, and looked out of the window at the celebration going on the ground. His gaze returned to Ran when she didn't complete her sentence.]

Wouldn't be what, Ran-neechan?

[Ran turned to look at Conan, who she didn't expect to be paying attention, though she wasn't surprised. She had to remind herself to watch what she says in front of him, seeing as he's almost always listening.]

Eh, ah--I was just thinking how great it would be if Shinichi showed up here. But it would be nice to have father around too.

Re: [Action]

[decadetooearly]

[It made him happy that Ran missed him, and that he mentioned him before her father.

Not like he would say that out loud, even moreso as her words had stirred up even more guilt along with the joy.]

Ah, yeah... I haven't seen him in some time.

[Action]

[lovestartsat0]

Considering what a big mystery it is that we're all here, he's bound to show up though, right?

[She says this with a little more confidence than she's actually feeling - as though wishing it more sincerely will make it come true.]

Re: [Action]

[decadetooearly]

M-maybe... [Quick, topic change!] Look, everyone down there looks like ants! We're reaaaaally high up!
