[And somewhere in the jungle, there is a wandering detective in a drab tan suit, currently following something that might be a path, and might be a game trail, but should at least go somewhere sooner or later. His current mission: See if there's signs of other human life!
He may have been wandering off the beaten path for a while now.]

[While he can do quite a bit if he finds tracks in the trail itself ... wilderness tracking is not his strong suit; city boy is a city boy.]

[Besides that, he's weathering it rather well, if coping via resigned indignation.]

[Disturb/flag down/attempt to stalk/get tracked, stumbled across, or found?]

[Finishing up her jog around the island and-]

...who are you?

[stalking_horse]

[ !- There ARE people!]

[... who don't look like they've been stranded on a deserted island exactly; if anything that looks vaguely like a uniform, if ... a bit ... impractical.]

[Delayed blink] Hakuba Saguru. And you are?

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

[ Well, there's a trail of golden butterflies. Care to follow those? ]

[stalking_horse]

[...Well now that's curious.]

[Well of course he's following, and studying them rather closely while he's following.]

[You'd think he'd have learned after dealing with Koizumi, but...]

[ Man it is such a beautiful day! It's been going pretty perfectly for him, actually. So perfectly, in fact, that he decided to take a nice stroll to breathe in that fine island air! How pleasant. ]

[nothingupmy.livejournal.com]

[ So pleasant, in fact, that he raises a hand to wave when he comes across another person. HELLO, GENT, WHAT A GORGEOUS EVEN-- ]

[you might just hear a camera clicking somewhere]

[stalking_horse]

[As soon as the click goes off, he's snapped his gaze around to zero in on the direction it came from, looking for signs of whoever-it-is.] Who's there?

*Totally stalking you in the bushes and watching your every move*

[stalking_horse]

.....

[Continuing.... glancing over shoulder now and then...]

[And then stopping.]

How long are you planning on following me?

[reiner-rubin.livejournal.com]

[You may be passing by what seems to be a little girl in fancy clothing reading a book under a tree-- She seems small even for a young looking girl though :|a]

[stalking_horse]

[......Stopping and politely waiting to be noticed.

Of course that's the whole reason to stop quietly for a minute... not studying for clues to just what sort of situation he's stumbled into.]

[samyonrai.livejournal.com]

[perhaps a ghost-girl doing some sword training nearby would be of any interest?]

[stalking_horse]

[Well, yes, although part of the interest involves surpetitiously looking for signs of a trick.]

[meerkatoutcast.livejournal.com]

[Not quite stalking, just... Following.]

[stalking_horse]

[Huh, that's unusual - most animals wouldn't approach a human like that unless they were used to people ...] [He's watching Timon - somewhat cautiously, and avoiding directly, obviously looking at ... generally doing the "act casual and avoid startling" while mulling over why he'd be followed like this...]
[Unfortunately it's a little limited to uh, normal logic things. Like "Well, I don't have any food on me....".]

[hey there detective

have a creepy little girl observing you....

but unlike the other one, this one is is the meta-world, a plane of observation from which she can't be observed in any way, shape, or form...

and she's just going to follow you around for a while from there]

[stalking_horse]

[And since he's about as psychic as a brick, that's just plain unfair.]

[Well, you get to watch him stop and study random imprints in the dirt to verify what kinds of tracks are around, occasionally check skyward for signs of smoke trails, vapor trails, or other aerial signs of habitation, and generally wander along the path...]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Also somewhere in the jungle, there is an ambiguously gendered, purple-haired child. They appear to be following their own footsteps backwards in order to lead themselves out of the jungle, staring dutifully at their own toes.]

[Thusly they're not at all watching where they're going, though the slow to a stop when the hear movement ahead, just kind of... watching.]

[stalking_horse]

[... And as he's wandering the path and catches sight of Crona, he stooops...

headtilts...

have an awkward moment of silence!]

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

[And there's a notlittle boy, coming back through the trees from a rather odd patch of bushes he found a while ago that grew duct tape of all things. At first, it might seem he wouldn't notice the other.]

[But then again, it's Conan and he's aware to the point of paranoia, so it only takes a few moments before he looks over at the rustling that's too much to be just the usually sort.]

...Hakuba-niisan?

[stalking_horse]

[There is, sadly, a small mental war over whether your presence here is surprising or not.]

Conan-kun! What are you doing here?
