Mr. Holmes isn't here any more.

[Conan pauses for a moment, as if he was about to say something else. But really, nothing else needed to be said. Anyone who cared enough to know about Sherlock's whereabouts were smart enough to draw their own conclusions from that.

But on to his other business. Sherlock's disappearance had once again left Conan in the position of being an eight-year-old with no caretaker. Even here he couldn't hold an apartment by himself. Which left him with very few options.]


Is anyone looking for a roommate? I have an apartment, but I don't think I'll be allowed to stay here by myself.

You know what's really boring? Being stuck inside without anything to do.

Sherlock hasn't let me out of his sight for days, and the only thing left here to read is chemistry textbooks.

 [The only thing worse then hitting your head during a hurricane and being ordered to rest for two weeks was hitting your head, being ordered to rest for two weeks and then waking up miserably sick with a cold.

This really was not Conan's week.

He gropes blindly for the communicator and speaks it into it with a voice hoarse from coughing.]


Dr.Watson?  Mr. Holmes? Do you know if the first aid kit has any cold medicine?

 [When Conan opens the video feed, he simply looks tired. He hadn't ever gotten to know Avery well, despite living with him for some time. Hi sudden disappearance had been startling, even if Conan had been in Tushanshu long enough to know that people just left sometimes.

But Avery's disappearance had left Conan with a problem. His mind might have been 17, but he looked 7. And a seven-year-old could not hold a job or rent an apartment by themselves.]


So I don't know how many people have heard, but the cat cafe is gone now. Which means I don't have anywhere to stay any more.

 [For once, Conan wasn't here with questions about measuring the effects of magic with science or applying deductive reasoning to any of the many mysteries here. Today, he had a very different question in mind.]

I've gotten curious about something recently. Does anyone else here play soccer?  And does anyone have any ideas on where the best place to practice would be? I know there aren't any fields here, but somewhere with a lot of open space might work. A long wall without anything breakable nearby would work too.

[From the moment the camera turned on, Midii looked...almost as if she were regretting the decision. Public speaking was never her strong suit, which was why she so rarely made videos like these. But there was something on her mind. For once...something personal. And after a few seconds of hesitation, her resolve won out.]

It's...strange to think about.

[Maybe it would have been better if she'd gathered more of her thoughts before doing this, but she hadn't wanted to give herself a chance to back out.]

I cam here when I was eleven. Today, I'm sixteen. [Ah, there was one point of motivation; she'd never publicly announced her birthday before. There truly was a first time for everything.] And I've had so much time to think about what that means. That I've lived here for so long that I...I almost forgot what it was like to live in the world I grew up in. That...that's a good thing. Because when I came here, I didn't trust anybody. I couldn't. I was scared and small and...didn't think I deserved the kindness that people were suddenly showing me. I tried turning them away. I figured that they'd get over it and move on sooner or later and leave me alone.

But...they didn't. Leave me alone, that is. Five years later, and people still won't leave me alone. [Despite her words, she spoke them with hints of a smile. Humor. Her attempt at a joke.] I've never been more grateful for those people as I am today. And I wish...that I could tell the ones who are gone that. I wish they could know how much they meant to me. More than even I knew then.

[A pause. She took a deep breath and stared into the camera greatly. Then let out a sheepish smile.]


I'm...not even sure what I was trying to say anymore. I guess...for those of you who are still finding it hard to deal with having been brought here...I just wanted you to know that there are good things that have come out of it. I'm living proof of that.

[Because she was still alive.]

[Although, just when it looked like Midii was about to (awkwardly) sign off...one last thought came to her. And in a rare show of her age, her nose wrinkled slightly in distaste.]

I still don't think I'll ever get used to the magic here, though. It's too....unpredictable.

[Just like every other time Conan used the consoles, the video begins with a blank screen and the sound of a scraping chair, quickly followed by the sight of the boy climbing up on the chair to reach the view of the camera.]

Hello!  I've been thinking a lot recently. Lots of people have told me about how magic works around here. But I'm curious. How many people around here have been trying to see why things happen around here with science?  

For example, has anyone looked at the dust with chemistry or forensics?  Has anyone been tracking which items from home are found and what time they were first spotted?

 [Conan had a problem. A huge problem.

Without knowing the reason, he had just returned to his true age.  In the few, few times before, there had always been a reason. Paikal mixed with a cold. An experimental temporary cure.

And there had always been pain. Ever since he had first been poisoned, every return to his true age had felt like dying.

This had been completely painless.

Was it possible- Could it be possible that something had neutralized the poison? Was it permanent? Or would it only last for a few minutes?

He was afraid to hope for too much. There had been far too many disappointments before.

And regardless, without knowing how long this would last, he could not keep pretending to be Conan.  One person spotting him, and it would be obvious that he was both new here and bore too strong a resemblance. Despite the risk of one of them spotting him, he needed to establish his other identity here. As a new arrival would be safest. He already knew that that was a common occurrence here.

And so it is that he makes a carefully calculated post over the handset.]


This is high school detective Shinichi Kudo.  I recently arrived here. Would anyone be willing to help me with a few questions?

 [The video feed is empty for a moment, quickly followed by the sound of a chair scraping across the floor and a few smaller thumps as Conan climbs up and stands on the chair to reach the console.

Oh look, its the brat in glasses again.]


So, I've been here a few weeks now, and I have a few more questions.

First, does anyone know of a good place for kids to stay? I'm seven, so I don't think anyone will let me stay somewhere by myself. 

Is there any kind of school here that I'm supposed to go to?

Oh!  And I almost forgot to ask!  How many people here work in law enforcement? Are there any detectives here?  I've heard about the police force, but I was wondering if anyone did that back home!

This is ridiculous!

[There is a small boy scowling up into the console's video feed with a highly offended expression on his face. Not that it was easy to see that much. Even standing on a stool he is barely tall enough to reach the console.]

There can't be a turtle that big. If it was real it would be completely violating the square-cube law. Even presuming that it was possible for a turtle to grow this big, a biological creature cannot scale up like this. The larger an animal grows, the less its proportional muscle strength. According to that law, this turtle shouldn't even be able to move and there should be severe problems with its cardiovascular and respiratory functions. Even if we factor in the exception for buoyancy in sea creatures, this is still far too big. How is it possible for this to exist?

[Belatedly, he realizes that had been just a tiny bit advanced for an ordinary seven-year-old. He hastily pastes on a bright childish smile.]

I saw a program about it on television once! It was really interesting.

[ The screen remains black and no matter how hard you try you cannot get it show any kind of image aside from the black screen as Conan has taped over it for this broadcast-or well, I say Conan. ]

Good evening everyone, my name is Shinichi Kudou and up until I ended up on this...giant turtle, I made my way in life as a detective, I intend to do much of the same here, however due to circumstances beyond my control I cannot meet with my clients face to face, but rest assured, if you contact my relative- Conan Edogawa, I will seek you out as quickly as possible.

I specialize in murders, kidnappings, and the more bizarre cases, and if a decent case can be made, missing persons. Do not consult me about Adultery or missing pets, if it's the former I'll simple tell you it's none of my business and you should work it out with your significant other.

[ Someone is a bit sulky today and you can maybe hear him swiveling his chair back in fourth in a bored manner. ]

The police here are just as useless as the ones back home.

How many of you are detectives and how many of you have been shoo'd away from crime scenes here?

[ Malicant is a stupid name. And yet one that no one seems to want to say for some superstitious fear that names have a certain power over people and saying its name would summon the damn thing to them. Nonsense of course but to keep people from jumping on his back about it he won't even start to say the name. ]

What was that thing? The enemy, clearly, but what kind of creature? It seems interested in the eggs so I was thinking maybe a snake?

If you have any helpful information regarding this place I'd be really grateful if you could share. And I already know we're on a turtle. That's irrelevant.

[ If not for the fact he spent most of his time with an unnamed fear hanging just over his head he might have been a little more nervous about that announcement but instead it only piqued his interest. ]

[ Upon getting absolutely no information from his escort, the small boy immediately tears apart the new living space in search of clues or anything that might have better information than what he's been given. He supposed what he's been told is supposed to satisfy most people but they should really take into consideration that a detective with a starving curiosity and thirst for the truth would not take kindly to their questions being brushed off. After he's done flipping cushions up, moving chairs around and running his hands long the walls he gets to the computer, turning it on and logging into the network-network meant people and maybe SOMEONE would have some decent answers. ]

Ah! Hello! I'm new I guess, but the person I rode with was mean and wouldn't tell me anything, so I was wondering if maybe someone else wouldn't mind answering some of my questions? [ Just to ensure he got at least a few people to respond, be it concerned adults or people with actual information, he offers the feed his best puppy-dog face, complete with the large eyes and pouty lip. ]

And don't try to convince me we're on a giant turtle. That's dumb.
