video; Beika Subarchway
[Conan looks happy... in comparison to his usual sourness. He knew that this wasn't the true Beika, no more than the London he had once seen in a virtual reality computer game had been the London of Holmes.
Still, it raised his mood just to see it for the first time in years. He hadn't dared to go near the agency yet, of course. He wasn't sure what his reaction would be if there were copies here of people he knew. ]
I know that these places are just copies, but it's really quite amazing how close they come. I-
[He breaks off his comment as something catches his attention. Conan pauses for a second in thought, and then frowns as he comes to a quick decision.]
And I'm going to have to finish this later. Sorry Dairine, looks like I'll be late getting home.

Re: Audio/Action
[And the morse code abruptly cuts off as the sound of an opening door and angry shouts come over the communicator.]
Hey! The brat has a phone! He'd talking to someone!
What are you waiting for then? Get it away from him. And make sure he doesn't talk to anyone else.
[And with a loud klunk, the communicator signal cuts out. ]
Audio/Action
He reaches up and starts urgently knocking on the window, trying to get Dairine's attention. ]
Action
[Putting her papers aside, Dairine walks over to the window with a brisk pace and opens it.]
Here so soon?
[It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.]
Action
[ Then again, this is Conan, and Dairine knew him better then most of the people here. ]
Action
Of course not. This is hardly your first visit.
What did he get himself into this time?
Action
A kidnapping. In Beika. He was communicating with me via Morse code, but they found his device.
Action
Hang on.
[She hurries back into the apartment, leaving the window open. In the corner of the room, her Wizard tech laptop appears with a quiet pop and scuddles after her on thin spidery legs.]
Did Conan tell you his location?
Action
Before he was moved, he was a few blocks into the archway, near Columbo. I know where that is, but if they've moved him, we would have to trust that he's keeping his trackers on him.
One of these days, I'm going to hire him a babysitter.
Action
[She's already made her way into Conan's bedroom, heading straight for his dresser to grab the spare tracking glasses. Dairine pokes her head out in time to make a disgruntled face at his last comment.]
Days like this, I feel like the babysitter.
Action
[ Despite the seriousness of the situation, KID can't help but huff out a laugh. ]
At the rate he's going, we'll be gray in a few years.
Action
[Dairine puts the glasses on her face as she leaves Conan's bedroom. Sure she could have grabbed more of his gadgets in case he forgot them, but why bother? He wasn't the one doing the rescuing here.]
[Her pace doesn't slow as she moves across the room to grab her jacket off a nearby chair. She slings it over her shoulders then leans down to pick up Spot from the floor.]
Ready when you are.
Action
[ Not to mention, she's going on this rescue mission with KID, who probably has enough random gadgets shoved into the lining of his jacket and under his hat for a small army.
He nods with a determined air. ]
Yes, let's. We have a wayward detective to bring home.
Action
So I have some warning before it hits me! No way I wanna look as old as you before I turn twenty.
[Dairine nods in return as she head back to the window. She turns back to the thief.]
After you.
Action
If Tantei-kun has his way, you'll be grey before the end of the week.
[ He bows with an arm out. ]
Oh no, after you, I insist.
[ Phantom thief = gentleman thief, after all. At least for him. ]
1/2 Action
Very well.
If you can, close the window on your way out, OK? Conan'll get on my case if I invite more thieves into the apartment.
[With that Dairine steps onto the windowsill, takes a deep breath, and pushes off. Her stomach feels weightless for a moment as she begins to fall...]
2/2
[A loud inhuman screech and the flapping of wings rings in her ears as her Aerodactyl flies up and over the building. Shifting her weight to a more comfortable sitting position, the two wait for Kaitou Kid to join them.]
[Action]
Hm. And Tantei-kun calls me dramatic.
[ He shakes his head, climbing out onto the windowsill and making sure the window is closed. Then, he climbs to the top of the building, before letting himself go into a free fall, pulling the switch to turn his cape into a glider. ]
[Action]
[Besides, flying should be quicker than walking. With Kaitou Kid airborne, Dairine pats Aerodactyl's side to urge him forward. The two will follow him to the archway since he knows the way.]
[Action]
He stands in front of the archway, waiting for Dairine to join him. ]
I'm not entirely sure how safe this will be. Beika isn't a district I deal with unless I'm having a heist there. It's mostly Tantei-kun's domain.
[Action]
As far as I know, it probably won't be.
[Conan had left the impression that crime was quite rampant in his part of the city. She gives the archway a glance as she approaches.]
Do you think folks'll recognize you in there?
[Action]
[ Also among the highest solve rate too, if he's not mistaken. Although he's pretty sure he knows the reason for that one. ]
Like this? Undoubtedly. [ He grins at Dairine. ]. Which is why you're not going with a phantom thief.
[Action]
You sending me off to collect Conan alone?
[She could most likely manage. Even if there were multiple kidnappers she had tricks that could take 'em. However, that would not be very gentlemanly of the phantom thief.]
[Action]
[ And with that, he'll take a step back and snap his fingers, allowing smoke to envelope him. It takes a few seconds for it to dissipate, but when it does, there'll be a young, Japanese school girl standing there, flipping her hair over a shoulder. ]
[Action]
[Whatever she expected, this definitely wasn't it. Dairine blinks at the "school girl" for a moment, taken aback, before her mouth slowly starts to grin again.]
...Huh. Not too shabby.
[Action]
When 'she' speaks, her voice is pitched higher and notably perkier. ]
Why thank you~ It's not often I get so generous compliments.
[ Mostly, it's people yelling at him since he managed to pull one over on the task force again. ]
