[Slightly muffled, as though through fabric.] ...when did the sun rise?

Ow, ow, too bright too suddenly!

[Fiddling sound.] ...

Conan, you okay?

It's the 19th.

That was last we-

Of AUGUST.

.....oh.

Stupid data freeze....

[A clatter and a thud.]

Ah! Leormon! Why did you just TACKLE ME?!

Because it's that special day!

...special day? The day Holmes went over the falls with Moriarty?

......

......

....no.

Then what are you talking about?

You're ten.

...oh! That's right. It's my birthday.

I hate you. So much.

Oh, come on, Conan-kun! The assistant has to look cute.

I CAN LOOK CUTE IN BOY'S CLOTHES! And why. Won't. These. Ears. COME OFF?!

That's a secret~!

...you secretly have a loli cat girl fetish, don''t you?

Well, now I really won't tell you how to get them off.

I was being nice and helping you with your show!

And I'll give you a bonus~!

[Leormon is in the background. Laughing.]

((OOC: Bold is Melissa. Conan got roped into helping her with a show and got put in a dress and cat ears to show for it.))

[Locked to Kaito]

KAITO!

We have a big, big problem! Huge!

I saw Gin! And Snake! In Junk City! With Digimon partners and everything!

[/Lock]

[Locked to Ran]

Ran, you remember what I told you about the Black Organization?

[/Lock]

Stop laughing.

But it's FUNNY! Dude, you are whipped. *Laughing.*

Shut up. She was mad! She always gets worried and mad when I get kidnapped.

Aside from the fact that this is apparently something normal enough to predict how she reacts, this is hilarious!

It's not that funn-

CHIBI KAITOU KID! *Thud and rustle of fabric.*

Gack! Melissa-san!

You're such a CUTE little Kaitou Kid-sama, Conan-kun~!

I really hate getting kidnapped.

Yeah. It sucks.

And it's been two days. Oi, Ran is gonna be mad....

...do I have to be there when you see her.

Yes. You do. Come on, let's go.

*No, he doesn't get better at all throughout the song and no good singers to sing over him. But he sounds really damn happy. =D*

....all right. You need to stop that.

*Rather distracted and zoned out voice.* Stop what?

Everytime you seem a Renamon or a tall girl with brown hair, you duck around a corner! Aside from that, you act like a zombie since this morning! What's up? Did you get in a fight with Ran or something?

........

Okay, you shut down completely now. That's not normal Conan.

Just...stop asking....

Not until you tell me what's wrong! Come on, I can hel-

NO YOU CAN'T! Now just shut up!

....Conan?

Just....just leave me alone...

We can't just leave! There's no way that's right!

No, it isn't right, but right now, we have too much important stuff to pack. Not to mention Kaito's things... *Sound of stuff being carried and shifted and packed.* The fact they're only giving fifteen minutes makes it clear it's power abuse. Most fair systems would at least give twenty four hours unless there was an immediate threat.

Then we should fight!

That's what they WANT us to do. Then we look like the bad guys. Backing down for the moment means building enough evidence that if they dare deny us what's right, THEY'LL look bad and then there's questions. If we cooperate now, we can force their hand later.

*Grunting as he's moving more stuff.* Turn on the D-comm, Leormon.

Huh? Oh, well, okay. Uh...actually, it's on. It's bee-

Loki-niichan? Is the Detective Agency free from the eviction? If it is, would it be all right for Ran-neecha, Aoko-neechan, Kaito-niichan, and myself to stay there until everything is sorted out?
