Seventeenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ it's a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the monkeys are screeching, there's free cake at the inn and a giant banner that says (more or less) HAPPY BELATED ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TEAR AND HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY KAITO. Because with Kaito's luck with birthdays, Kazuha isn't taking any chances this time. ]

Okay, so that's two cakes and presents, and the food's done, so that should take care of everything! I'm definitely gonna make sure nothing goes wrong this time! No crazy events, no... love nesting, and no fish in sight! This'll be the best birthday ever!!

... Wait, if we're celebrating Kaito-kun's again, then-- I skipped mine, didn't I?

((Yeah, Tear's anniversary present sucked, and Kaito has the worst luck with birthdays, so Kazuha's combining things. Go ahead and threadhop whoever you so wish. Or just show up to snag some cake.))

Time works weirdly here. [ not even going to touch the heist comment ]

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Do people usually have big time gaps like that??

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There are some people who have some that are even worse than ours.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

So that is common.

...I suppose that makes sense. Shinku-san said I was here three years ago and I was still seven. [Which should have been before Conan existed period.]

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

So she's been here for three years?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] Some people have been. There were two people who said I was here three years ago.

...she's the saner of the two. She's pretty level headed. [Despite, you know, being a LIVING DOLL.]

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Who was the other one?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Kururu.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

... I need to meet more people.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

He's the freaky little yellow....thing. Says he's an alien.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Well, a lot of people are aliens here to us if you want to get technical.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

I guess, but not many are small and bright yellow.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

I think that I've seen him around...

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

He's pretty crazy.

But he does take a lot of notes. Of course, I can't be sure what he gave me is LEGIT....

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Little kids shouldn't be taking notes from weird frogs.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

That's why I made sure nothing important was on the laptop when Tear-neesan let it to me. But I haven't found any viruses yet, so it's either to mess with me or real notes.

Either way, I figured there was something to be learned from them.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

What were the notes about then?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

A lot stuff about the island, though a majority is on arrivals to the Island.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

...

Oh?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Yeah. At first he seemed to be investigating everything on the island, doing tests and all that, but it seems later he started to focus on the arrivals. How they arrived, if others are around, things like that. Some of the data is more complete than others. I'm guessing that depends on who was willing to share information.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

That's actually pretty interesting. Can I have a look?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Sure. I still have the laptop.

...if you break it, I will kick you. A lot. [Because he does not want it broken, and Tear was very expressive about keeping said laptop safe from Kaito.]

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

-- oi. That was partly Tear's fault.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

I don't care. You were willing to fight enough to break it. I'm just making it clear I don't want it broken.

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. What are you, my mom?
