[5] the A.B.C murders

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Conan's come to the Plane to think again. Sitting in a quiet, well-lit spot, he has photos of all of the victims from his world, a copy of the case files for those of Satoshi and Menzies' world, and brief descriptions of those he's heard about from Guinevere, Duo and the others spread out around him.

What he's currently preoccupied with is the account of Menzies' conversation with Grey that he's got copied down in his notebook. For the little information they gained, there is an excess of questions.]

... special?

[she nods] Right, I'll take a look. You want to wait around?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'll be here, Inspector Menzies!

[grip_on_reality]

[she nods, dropping from the Plane, only to return a few moments later, shaking her head] Nope. Just some, ah, daimyo. [she may have butchered that word slightly] So it's in the papers but not on the internet. [she snorts] Someone somewhere would probably call that a sign of the apocalypse.

Ha ... that's definitely not Occhan!

Ah ... so I guess the overlap is limited to the one medium currently. I wonder if it's far enough that we could communicate through that?

[grip_on_reality]

Ah, considering we're sharing entire newspapers? [yet. which is a disturbing thought, really] I doubt taking out an advert would be a very reliable way to send a message.

[Conan's not surprised to find that the same thought occurred to both of them.]

You're probably right. Still ... there must be some way to monitor this ... Ah, I'll track down the Manchester article again and keep an eye out for any more news, and tell Haibara and Satoshi-niichan to do the same.

[grip_on_reality]

Yeah, I'll keep an eye out, too. I'd have thought it would be easy, but oddly enough, nobody's seemed to notice the newspaper has suddenly decided that Tokyo's local. Funny how that works. [and a bit disturbing, but at least this development doesn't seem particularly dangerous. that's something to be grateful for]

[ooc: That should have said "not sharing" above. As I'm sure you guessed ^^;]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

... ha. Further proof that this is a merger, if we needed any.

Thank you for letting me know, Inspector Menzies!

[grip_on_reality]

[curious] Is that how they work, then? Life's suddenly different and nobody but us are the wiser? It all sounds a bit cliche.

Yeah, sure. We'll stay in touch.

[after all, they've probably got a long way to go on this murder investigation, mergers aside...]

Ah, at least in my experience! A whole new Junior High School got attached to the school I go to everyday, and I didn't even notice it to think it odd until the first time I came here.

Sounds good, Inspector Menzies!

[grip_on_reality]

A whole new school? [she snorts, shaking her head] All right then, it is that cliche.

[she nods] See you later, kid. Be careful.

[Says the woman who babysits aliens ... Oi.]

Always. You too, Inspector Menzies!
