shadesofgray | VOICE BOX - Mayfield Testing

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.

Huh?

[ Was he... did he.. ask a normal question? Why is that so surprising? Gin is human... although for some reason his brain refuses to think like that. ]

U-um... there's one- [ He really hopes Gin won't notice how shaky he is. That would probably register as suspicious. Either way, though, he point in the direction he saw the open bar. ] O-over there.

From:

shadesofgray

"Hn." And he's just gonna head on over to that bar then.

...Maybe he won't notice if you follow... ~~not likely~~

From:

1_truth

[ Get it together Kudo. He can till feel his heart hammering but he's not about to just let Gin walk off and do whatever the Hell he pleases. With a final calming breath, Conan takes an alternate route to the bar and crouches down by the snack table to watch. ]

From:

shadesofgray

Oh great he's being followed. ...Ugh.

...He's getting his damn drink first. Not in the mood for this.

You had better be gone before that filled glass meets his hand.

From:

1_truth

[ Conan Not stalk a black organization member? Yeeeeaaaah that's not happening. He'll just stay right here, crouched by the snack table and watching closely. ]

[ He's pretty sure the table is concealing him well enough but if Gin had caught his movements before he made it to his hiding place... well then he might be in trouble. ]

From:

shadesofgray

He's just gonna casually enjoy his drink right now. Yup.

And you know what.

This is actually mildly amusing. You have still not left. This just does not happen. AND SO.

"Do you have a death wish, brat?"

From:

1_truth

[ That feeling that his heart froze hits him like-well, like a heart attack. B-but the table should have-! ...Never mind, that doesn't matter now. He'd better back up or at least make it seem like he's run off. Of course he's not going to run away. ]

From:

shadesofgray

Ahahahha... Smart but...

No. He'll just turn around with a raised eyebrow now. "Are you going to answer the question?"

From:

1_truth

[ ...Maybe he should have retreated and regrouped later. Is it too late to do that? He quickly just shakes his head but, Silly Conan, the snack table is obscuring your head-shake. ]

From:

shadesofgray

Silence. And...

"Your head is blocked by the table."

From:

1_truth

[ Yup. Time for to retreat and regroup. Retreat and go back to where Sherlock was to watch from a far. That's a much better idea. ]

[ So he'll just slowly be sneaking away now... ]

From:

shadesofgray

And Gin, in the meantime, will be watching with what could potentially be amusement. You're definitely not a 'normal' kid, huh...

From:

1_truth

[ if Gin is amused by Conan that is not good news. Gin's amusement is sick and twisted and Shinichi has suspicions about why Gin knows Haibara so freaking well and why her personality is the way it is. ]

[ Meanwhile, he'll be scooting out from under the table. ]

[Sherlock watched the entire encounter from his place at the far wall. When Conan returned he had one question.]

Enemy of yours. On of those "Black" things?

[Yeah, Sherlock acts all the time like he only 1/2 listens.]

From:

shadesofgray

He did watch Conan leave through the crowd- ...He did not likely take his eyes off the kid completely however.

Watch yourself Holmes; Gin's on high alert, even if he doesn't look it. A 'brat' isn't much of a threat. But that same 'brat' knew detectives in his world... And he's willing to bet there's a possibility he knows some minor threats to his well being here too.

From:

highfunctioning_sociopath

[Sherlock is always on high alert, especially with how strange this place is. He's clearly keeping his eye on Gin.]

From:

1_truth

Shh!

[ Conan glances behind him to see if Gin is watching. He's not exactly sure how well Gin can hear but if he heard Sherlock refer to him as Conan's enemy it could make for an even more uncomfortable confrontation. ]

[ Instead of saying anything out loud though, Conan pulls his notepad from his jacket pocket and quickly scribbles down one three letter word in English. ]

'Gin'

From:

shadesofgray

Can't see the notepad, but you're both obviously conversing over SOMETHING in the corner of his eye...

Hnnn...

From:

highfunctioning_sociopath

[Sherlock takes a look then shrugs at Conan: SO?]

From:

1_truth

[ Conan fights the urge to look over his shoulder again. He can't risk getting caught doing something so suspicious and if Gin is watching and listening in then it's probable that he saw Conan write something on a notepad and show it to Holmes. If he saw Conan acting so secretive he'd probably be able to guess what the note was about and that... that wouldn't end well for anyone. ]

[ There's only one thing he can do. Using the same page he just wrote 'Gin' on, he scribbles another little note: ]

Please tear this page out as quietly and discretely as possible. Will explain later.

[ And hands the notepad to Sherlock. This way, he could draw something else in. If Gin managed to get ahold of the notepad then at least he wouldn't find the page with his codename written on it. ]

From:

shadesofgray

Narrowed eyes and a suspicious stare that you won't likely miss; however Gin is no fool. This is a crowd of people, and you could both easily make a scene before he does something himself. ...IF he does something. Let's not jump to quick to getting his hands dirty now... He'd rather be certain of things first.

Still. There's a smirk on his face that's just as hard to miss if your attention is on him. Congratulations Conan- this is beyond mere amusement now.

From:

highfunctioning_sociopath

[Sherlock takes the notebook and shrugs. He then closes it. He's using a trick he learned for removing pages. He hands the notebook back to Conan.]

[What no one sees is that as he handed it back, he tore the page out and slipped it into his pocket.]

From:

1_truth

[ That taken care of, Conan opens the notepad again and quickly starts to draw a diagram of the room. ]

[ ...Let's see... the banner was here... the Mayor's office was here... Once he's done, he closes it up and puts it back in his jacket pocket. ]

From:

shadesofgray

Alright. Drink is done.

And his curiosity can be considered 'caught'. Lets have a 'meet and greet', ahh? With... Proper 'filters', of course.

Time to pretend to be human, 'haha'. When Gin walks over he easily manages to appear at least relatively normal- he has a smile, a casual gait... And while there will never be any hiding the dark pit of darkness you could catch in his eyes, those aware of that pit can at least visibly tell it's less so. Of course, that only makes it all the more terrifying, that the wolf so easily hides among sheep...

"Hello," he begins calmly, facing Sherlock. "I take it you're this boy's 'father'?"
