[Video] Back from canon update

[eastdetective]

[The video feed opens to a rather tired looking Conan sitting in front of the dream docks.]

I'm back. Anyone know how long I was gone? And has anything happened here? 

[He doesn't say anything about what happened while he was dreaming of home. Conan supposed it was good to know that nothing much had changed back home, but he didn't really consider the details to be anyone's business. Dairine would just complain about his recklessness again.

He couldn't help but feel a little grateful that the dreaming docks were just that. Only dreams. It saved him from having to deal with all the minor injuries he'd picked up in this last case.]

[ And guess who had gotten nosy and followed you to the Dream Docks, Conan.

And guess who probably woke up at the worst possible time during their latest adventure?

Yeah. This thief here.

Which is pretty much why he's running full tilt towards you. And the only reason he doesn't look completely and utterly panicked is because Poker Face is a godsend sometimes. ]

Tantei-kun!

[Conan blanches at the sight of Kid running towards him, and hastily drops the communicator and climbs to his feet. ]

[ KID is going to stop in front of the detective, peering down at him with a slightly peeved look on his face. Be honored, Conan, that's more then most people get out of him, considering. ]

What the hell where you thinking?!

Re: [Action/Video]

[eastdetective]

About what?

[You were going to have to be a lot more specific. ]

[Action/Video]

[tuxedo_magician]

Pulling that stunt with Mouri-chan! I know my first plan wasn't going to work but you didn't give me time to come up with a second!

[ It's easy enough when it's just himself, but not when he's got two other lives on his shoulder as well.

Not that he'll admit it, of course, but there is a small, tiny part of him that's honored that Kudo trusts him enough to know he'd get Ran out of there. There's very people he'd trust Aoko's like with, if push comes to shove, and Kudo is definitely among them now. ]

Re: [Action/Video]

[eastdetective]

If you'd had time, could you have come up with another plan with a better chance of success?

[And he didn't care about what had happened to him just after. They'd gotten Ran out. That was all that mattered.]

[Action/Video]

[tuxedo_magician]

YES.

[ Of course he could, who do you take him for, Tantei-kun, really. ]

Then I wouldn't be worried that I left you to drown!

[Action/Video]

[eastdetective]

If you'd stayed any longer, all three of us would have drowned.

[A beat.]

And I didn't drown. I found a way out.

[Action/Video]

[tuxedo_magician]

Like I would have let that happen to either you or Mouri-chan.

[ Wait. What. ]

You did? How?

Re: [Action/Video]

[eastdetective]

I ended up under the lake with the last painting. I just had to get through the rock.

[ KID takes a step back, as if studying the other. ]

And then swim for the surface.

Re: [Action/Video]

[eastdetective]

I used the explosion as a boost.

[Action/Video]

[tuxedo_magician]

[ KID lets out a breath he hadn't even realized he'd be holding. ]

Next time, Meitantei, we are not cutting it that close.

[ Because there will always be a next time, won't there? ]

A fair while, I would say. People have been concerned for you, young man. [ This is Lupin's Erin's scolding expression and tone of voice. ]

Re: video

[eastdetective]

I left a note for Dairine.

[Wasn't that enough? ]

video

[tresbeau]

Only a simple note is not much comfort.

Re: video

[eastdetective]

[Leaving a note was significant progress for Conan. He usually preferred to run off and get things done without letting anyone know where he was. But his long acquaintance with Dairine had gotten him to at least leave a note before leaving.

If only because the inevitable scolding on his disappearances was annoying to deal with.]

I wasn't aware comfort was needed.

[tresbeau]

[ Progress or not, he did need further progress. ]

It is the easing of caring peoples mind that is needed. Your little note clearly was not enough.

Re: video

[eastdetective]

[Conan had no intention of progressing any further. Dairine and KID had known him long enough to know his habits. No one else here was close enough to care. ]

Did someone get upset?

[Unless it was someone upset about children in general, he doubted it. ]

[tresbeau]

I spoke to a lady friend of yours, she was decidedly not pleased. Unfortunately I never caught her name.

Re: video

[spoilsfun]

I think I know who it was. [Mostly because he really only had two people here he counted as friends. Or friendly rivals, at least. ]

She's already talking to me about it.

video

[tresbeau]

Ah, excellent. I do hope she gives you an earful.

Re: video

[spoilsfun]

[About leaving without saying what was he doing? Not so much. She'd known him long enough to expect it by now. Most of the outrage had been over what he'd decided to do in the most recent memories he'd gained.

Although to be honest, Dairine really should have expected it by now.]

Why do you care?

Re: video

[tresbeau]

Because one should not make ones friends worry too much, of course. It is not very polite, is it?

Re: video

[spoilsfun]

Dairine knows better than to worry about things like this.


[That was a slight exaggeration. She knew exactly what to worry about. ]
