VOICE BOX - Mayfield Testing - SHINDIGS.

[shadesofgray]

 Someone just appeared in the middle of the hall just as everyone else in the town has and still are, with what is probably an expected reaction to some- there's brief shock on his face, given that he obviously didn't expect this (at least he's dressed), but the fact is he drops the expression swiftly, narrowed green eyes surveying his location, the people around him... Everything.

While perhaps not quite as recognizable to those of his world as he would be, given the clothes he was forced to wear, his hair is likely a dead give-away...

Regardless, it's fairly clear that socializing is not on his mind.

[1_truth]

He's part of the criminal organization that shrank me, the more I know about it the more of a chance I have of taking it down.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock rolls his eyes.]

Stalking him is not the best way to achieve this. I am starting to question your level of intelligence, Conan.

[ERm. Yes. Sherlock calls it as he sees it.]

[1_truth]

I can't let a member of the organization wander around. Even if organization isn't here that doesn't make him any less dangerous.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock shoves his hands in his pockets.]

What can you do to stop it?

[1_truth]

Right now, I don't know, but I can't take my eyes off him.

Besides, I need to make sure he's not watching me. If he finds out who I am then... [ he'll leave that unsaid. ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I see. So you're going to avoid being discovered by stalking him....

[This is Sherlock being sarcastic. It's a stupid idea Conan.]

You're an idiot.

[1_truth]

I can't let him hurt other people!

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And yet, you're perfectly willing to reveal who you are.

[1_truth]

If my death ensures their destruction then so be it. Besides, if I die here it's not like it'd be permanent.

And also, it's evitable that he'll come after Edogawa Conan. I have no doubt that he knows I'm the kid that stays at the Sleeping Kogoro's detective agency. He also most likely knows that I recognize him. If he was watching me, as a suspect he was, he'll want to know what I wrote in the notepad.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock sighs.]

You're still an idiot.

[1_truth]

I'm an idiot for getting in this mess in the first place.

If-if only I had remembered there were two suspicious men that night-If I-I'm a detective. It's embarrassing to seek the truth when I have to live a lie.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

No. That was a mistake. A stupid mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. Tonight? You're being an idiot.

[Sherlock really hopes this isn't a sign of things to come. He was starting to like Conan, but he has no tolerance for idiots.]

[1_truth]

[ ....Shinichi is doing his best to calm down. It's much harder than usual with Gin close vicinity somewhere but all he has to do is remind himself that it's not the entire organization at Mayfield, it's only Gin. He's only just arrived so that must mean he doesn't have anything from the organization on him. ]

...I'll stay here then.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock gives him a curt nod.]

First smart thing you've said tonight. Now, I must go and watch the rest of this gathering. I'm still gaining my bearings here, and watching the idiots interact will aid me.

[1_truth]

[ Conan has already met most of everyone in Mayfield and with Gin around he's not feeling all that social. Not if it could potentially put someone in danger. Instead he'll just lean against the wall like he had been doing earlier in the evening and stick his hands in his pocket. ]

I'll wait here then.
