02 | audio/action; in which Ran asks about the TARDIS-looking things?

[waytoopatient]

[ ...well, Beika or not, Ran knows she still has people to take care of here. Wth what happened to Heiji and Adam, and Conan being around--she feels she really can't afford to slack, even if she still worries about how things are going back home, with her father, her best friend Sonoko...the other Detective Boys.

She's snuck out early this morning

Whad'dya yappin' about, Ran? Ya don't actually believe those things work. Do ya?

[Non believer in denial forever!]

[Video]

[waytoopatient]

I-I don't know! S'just what I've been hearing...

I thought I might try to find out more about them.

[ Ran sighs. She didn't even think he'd be up this early. ]

...how have you been feeling, Heiji?

[Video]

[westdetective]

No one's usin' them.

[A lot of his habits have been altered to fit his situation.]

Better. I'm mostly recovered.

[Video]

[waytoopatient]

...That's good.

[ She's glad to hear that, really. And she's obviously not gonna push the transporter issue if he doesn't wanna talk about it, though he is right. Not a lot of people seem to have used 'em so far.

...ah well. ]

Well, do you need anything from the store while I'm out?

[Actioooooooon!]

[kurobakaitoukid]

[Up ahead of Ran, Kaito is casually exploring this new city, bag slung over one shoulder and arms tucked up behind his head. He hasn't noticed her yet. Or if he has, he hasn't made any motion yet to suggest he has.

Does he look a little like someone you know, Ran?]

[forever action, 1/4] HAHA you asked for it <333

[waytoopatient]

[ .................

His hair is a complete mess. That's the first thing she notices. ]

[2/4]

[waytoopatient]

[ It's a good thing Ran's looked up from the communicator just then, too, because she would have walked right into him if she hadn't. She can only stop and stare at him; the familiar face, the familiar mannerisms. So uncanny, yet at the same time, she knows him--

She knows him well enough to know that something is different.

She just doesn't know what. ]

[3/4]

[waytoopatient]

[ Hahaha, teleporter? What teleporter?

Even though she'd intended to find out more about them, she's sufficiently distracted now, and there are so many emotions running through her head right now, she doesn't even know where to begin.

Should she laugh? Should she cry? Should she just freaking whack him over the head, making her wait this long? Should she worry, because he's here of all places?

Wait-- ]

[modernholmes]

The whole idea of teleporters sounds kind of silly.

[waytoopatient]

Conan-kun...

[ Well, if Heiji's awake, she supposes she's not surprised that he is as well. ]

...i-it does, doesn't it? Heiji thinks so too. But that's what I've been hearing, so...I thought I might try to ask around.

I haven't spoken to too many people outside of Dissimulo yet...

[modernholmes]

Mmm, like something on television.

[He pauses in thought.]

I think most of the people who didn't come here went to Spero. There were a few who went east too.

[waytoopatient]

Haha. Well, you do like your television, don't you?

[ Totally a legit for knowing all of those nifty little details that have helped cracked cases. Totally. ]

Yeah, I remember you telling me a bit about them. I guess people wouldn't stick around Discedo much after what happened...

I wonder if it's gotten any better.

[kungfublackfrog]

Wait, that thing's a teleporter?! I've been wondering that thing does.

[waytoopatient]

Apparently so!

Or...at least that's kind of what I've been hearing.

[ Scratching her head a bit. So unsure. ]

It's a bit hard to believe, though, huh? I haven't seen it in action myself...

[kungfublackfrog]

Neither have I.

It's strange that they appeared out of nowhere but what else is new that isn't odd?

[waytoopatient]

Yeah. [ Siiiigh. ] I don't suppose the scientists mentioned or explained anything about this?

[audio]

[fierybluebird]

Oh so that's what they do? I wondered how Shinji got to Spero so quickly.

[audio]

[waytoopatient]

Ah--yeah, well. That's what they say, anyway...

I heard some people talking about it over the communicators on some other channels. But...I haven't seen it in action myself.

[audio]

[fierybluebird]

I guess you could always try it for yourself.

[audio]

[waytoopatient]

I-I was considering...

[ The tone in her voice suggests that she doesn't really think it's very good idea. ]

How about you?

...you're in Spero, you said?
