1st Investigation

[detecting]

A. » Action 「947 Beulah Street ☼ Morning」

[Something was not right. This wasn't Inaba. This wasn't her room. This wasn't her bed, or her dresser, and OH GOD THESE WEREN'T HER CLOTHES. No, there was nothing right about this at all. Poodle skirts and bobby socks are not ok and didn't this...

This happened before. Was she really back?

Slowly, hesitantly she walked out of the bedroom. One look at the "family picture" hanging on the wall was all she needed to see. This was Mayfield. She was in Mayfield again and --

OH MY GOD IS THAT YOSUKE-SENPAI? IS HE... ISHEHERNOT!DAD??? And... Teddie, too?

Only one way to find out. Down the stairs she goes. Hello new housemates! Come meet your new rather distressed looking not!sister/daughter.]

B. » Action 「Around Town」

[Last time she was here it was summer. It doesn't feel like she's been gone for as long as she has, but the snow says otherwise. Having recently acquired clothing more suited to her tastes (pants, a long coat, things that did not make her look like a girl) she decided to take a look around in hopes of running into a familiar face. Stop her?]

[Nina has seen Naoto's drone running around before. She usually makes a concentrated effort to avoid it, as she does all drones. But this time, something has changed.

It isn't wearing the dress or girls' clothing that the drone usually does. Does that mean -- ?]

Naoto?

[detecting]

Ah, Nina. It's good to see you again. I trust you've been well?

[despite the formality, there's a bit of a smile tugging at her lips.]

[thegirltwin]

[Naoto remembers her. That's a relief. Nina smiles lightly.]

As well as anyone can be, in this place. Did you go home, or...? [Have you been trapped as that thing all this time?]

A

[princeofjunes]

[Leave it to Yosuke to not notice the changes to the pictures when he gets out of bed and trudges downstairs to make a cup of coffee. But pictures are easy to miss - the itty bitty detective price in his living room? Much, much harder to miss]

[Sorry Naoto, he's lost you twice, and he sure as hell didn't expect to wake up with you in his house]

[So please, excuse him for staring blankly]

[detecting]

[... That's ok. She'll just be staring right back. Ignore the flustered blush on her cheeks. It's just that she's feeling a lot more self-conscious in this skirt than she was a second ago.]

Senpai...?

[princeofjunes]

[For once, he's not noticing what she's wearing. Or her gender. Or anything even remotely close. He's just noticing her presence, and once more Mayfield's gotten the better of him if only for the moment. Yosuke opens his mouth to speak, but can't find the words. So he stares more]

[Moving automatically, his body does him the service of plopping down in a chair, and at once the world that seemed to have been standing still rushes to life. He takes a deep breath and reaches up to rub his eyes. He wants to say he's just rubbing the sleep away, but his tone of voice tells the story]

I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop leaving.

[1_truth]

[Conan has been doing what any other seven year old would be doing-EXPLORING! So don't be surprised when he he goes up and approaches you, Naoto]

Hello!

[detecting]

[She wouldn't expect anything less! YOU'LL BE A FINE DETECTIVE SOMEDAY imean...... HI. You certainly don't seem to be a drone!]

Hello. Are you in need of assistance? [because why else would you be talking to her? social skills. what are they.]

[1_truth]

[They are over-rated and only to be used when necessary]

Not really, it's just that you didn't look very familiar so I thought I should say hi! [He smiles brightly before looking around him] ....this place is really weird, isn't it?

Action B

[doudemoe]

[Minato steps out of the bakery, bag filled with some muffins. And that's when he sees Naoto...not in a poodle skirt, but boy's clothing? Hmmm.]

How's it going, Shirogane-san?

[detecting]

Well enough, I suppose. It's been a rather interesting day. I trust you've been doing well, Arisato-san?

[doudemoe]

[Affirmative! She's back to herself.]

Definitely. Do Yosuke-san and Teddie-san know yet?

A, and doubletagging with Len if you don't mind!

[roadroller]

[Rin is in the kitchen, attempting to make pancakes, since as humans she and her brother Len need this magical thing called ~sustenance.~

The pancake is now stuck to the ceiling.]

Uwaaaaa! ♪

[roadrolling]

[whoaaa]

♪ ... Is that really how you're supposed to do it?

Not at all!

[detecting]

Not quite, no. Ideally, after flipping it the pancake would not be stuck to the ceiling.

[answerer_sword]

Arisato?

[Bazett stops and looks at the boy. He looks a little...different.]

[detecting]

Minato Arisato?

[Naoto turns around, brow furrowing slightly. It's not like they look alike or anything. Gosh.]

No, I believe you're mistaken. I'm Naoto Shirogane.

A

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri peers at the girl while not making breakfast, but fiddling with three screens that are just floating in the air in front of her]

Good morning.

[detecting]

[... Well, that's interesting.]

Good morning.

I take it you are the "mother" Mayfield has assigned me to?

b

[heavenfang]

-Not a familiar face, but a friendly one at least. A young man carrying a fishing rod/bucket in one hand and a long staff in the other walks by, whistling happily. Naoto gets a nod.-

Good morning!

[detecting]

[She'll take it!]

Good morning. Are you returning from fishing or are you just going out?

B

[returntosender]

[Hope will see Naoto walking down the street and hesitate. She looked about as lost as he did his first day, and while he didn't recognize her, he figured he could try and help.]

Uh... Are you looking... for someone?

[detecting]

[She stops, a bit of a frown on her lips]

Not exactly, no. I was simply hoping to run into a few familiar faces.

B!

[enemyradar]

[Well, Naoto. Rise seems to have forgotten what personal space is. Rise runs at her with full force, and practically squeezes her. Enjoy the hug of death.]

Naoto-kun!

[detecting]

[OH MY GOD RISE. BREATHING. NAOTO KIND OF NEEDS TO KEEP DOING IT.

When she attempts to speak an undignified sort of half-wheeze accompanies her words.]

Hello, Rise-chan.
