Action

[eastdetective]

[Nearly two weeks since the incident on Halloween, and Conan had spent his time attempting to occupy himself while avoiding certain questions from Kid and Dairine.  He would have been quite happy to keep the incident in his memories and nightmares, where it belonged.

He certainly did not want to explain or answer any of the questions he was sure they had.

So today he was out on his skateboard exploring Genessia and Attleton. Among other things, this last incident spurred his decision that it was long past time to move out of the children's home. And long past time to explore what other housing options there were.]

[Too bad for Conan, a certain Phantom Thief had been keeping an eye on him.

That hadn't been the first time he stared down a gun because of the mini detective and he was certain it wouldn't be the last either. Not if their track record held true, after all. And honestly, while KID wouldn't begrudge Kudo his secrets, he liked to know what he was facing. Especially when said ghost had looked so much like Snake.

If Kudo was involved with the same people he was, then he wanted to know it, dammit.

He watched the boy pass him on the skateboard, hat pulled low to hide his eyes. If there was one thing KID was good at, it was hiding in a crowd.]

You should be careful with that, kid, otherwise you might run someone over.

[eastdetective]

Don't worry! I'm being careful.

[Conan drops his foot off the skateboard to push off again. This definitely was not a time he wanted to spend lingering with strangers. Not when he was fully aware of Kid's disguise abilities. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

[KID pushes away from the wall, tsking softly.]

Careful enough that you have goons pointing guns at you?

[eastdetective]

[Oh great, there he was. Conan drops any attempts at childishness.]

It wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last. What does it matter to you?

[tuxedo_magician]

[Did you honestly think you were going to be able to hide forever, Tantei-kun? Really.]

Why wouldn't it matter to me? Or have you forgotten about the train?

[eastdetective]

[Hiding had worked for the last year. What was one more person to hide from? ]

I told you already. After the train, we're even.

[tuxedo_magician]

Unfortunately, that's not how these things work, Tantei-kun.

[Unfortunately for Conan, Dairine wasn't the type to let these types of events go. Especially when they left her with more questions than answers.

She was also quite experienced in hunting Conan down when she wanted said answers. It helped that she knew lots of his usual haunts, but today he seemed to be busy doing something else. Eventually she spots him near one of the apartments in Genessia city and waves towards him.]

Conan!!

[She approaches casually, as if nothing were up.]

[eastdetective]

[So much for trying to avoid certain people. Conan cringes as he hears her voice. He turns to face her as he tries to figure out a way to avoid this conversation.]

Hello, Dairine.

That expression made me laugh

[wizard_redfive]

[Good luck avoiding it. Dairine will start off easy on him... for now.]

What've you been doing?

XD, its from the most recent movie. first time using it.

[eastdetective]

Exploring some the apartment areas.

I still need to watch that one.

[wizard_redfive]

Oh. Finally getting tired of the children's home?

[Dairine can relate. Even if it was nice to have a free place to stay, it could get rather cramped. Plus it was a bit irritating being labelled as children.]

It was a good one!

[eastdetective]

Just a bit.

[Most importantly, it wasn't secure in the least. Something Conan had been far too aware of recently.]

[eighthchild]

[Hikari quietly wondered around Genessia for once taking a break every now and again from her job. When she had helpers from time to time she knew to take a break now.

However she hadn't been paying much attention to her surroundings and nearly collided with the boy and his skateboard, but thankfully her pokemon Azumarill managed to move her out of the way in time.]

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

[eastdetective]

[He pushes his skateboard back to a safe distance and shakes his head. ]

No, it's fine. I should have been paying more attention.

[eighthchild]

Then shal we say we both should have been paying more attention?

[All said with a smile on her face, she thinks it's the best way to put it, right?]

[eastdetective]

Since it's the truth, why not?

[He eyes her for a moment, then smiles.]

You talked to me when I first arrived here, didn't you?

[eighthchild]

I believe so, yes. I usually try my best to welcome people after all.

[Even if now she found herself being more busy than she had been before.]

[eastdetective]

That's a lot of people to meet, isn't it?

[Conan kept track of new arrivals himself, but for a very different reason than welcoming them. It was habit, really. The more he knew about the people around him, the better prepared he would be the next time a major crime occurred.]

[imnotcomplete]

[Daniella didn't have much to do since she didn't really work right now. She couldn't find anyone to hire her anyway. Maybe if she actually tried, but she didn't. Never the less, seeing the boy she could help but watch, for no reason other than to study perhaps? Who knows really.]

[eastdetective]

[Thanks to certain situations in his life, Conan had developed a very keen awareness of when he was being watched. He stiffens as he feels the eyes on him, and quickly searches his surroundings for the source. ]

[imnotcomplete]

[Daniella had since moves since she had been meaning to get a couple of things. perhaps do a bit of cleaning, who knows. But for now she had started to walk toward the other, unsure of if she was actually watching or simply looking past.]

[eastdetective]

Do you want something?

[imnotcomplete]

I do not, at least I find that I do.

[Could change however as her head slowly looks around.]

[eastdetective]

[Alright then. Conan prepares to kick the ground to move his skateboard again. ]
