Case: 016

{{ →!Action | 915 Bilko Boulevard | Early-Early Morning in the Kitchen }}

[ He knows pretty much anyone who knew he had this idea would object which is why he's up so early. He's brought in the milk but instead of just dumping it down the drain like he usually does he's set it on the table and watches it apprehensively. He has to do this-he has to know. But there's no way to tell what kind of milk it is without... drinking... it. Just the thought alone is enough to churn his stomach. But he won't get anywhere if he doesn't take risks. ]

..is there really no other way to do this?

[ He pours grabs the bottle and pours a very small glass which he makes a disgusted face at before taking it in both hands. 'Just... a little right?' He takes a deep breath and gulps down some air before starting to take a drink-managing to swallow very little of it.. He immediately spews it out though-coughing loudly as he wipes his mouth, traces of blood on his hand and in the spewed milk. ]

Well.. could have been worse. [ Cough-cough-hack ]

[ Cough-hack-cough ]

N-ne! [ Cough ] G-Good Morning Everyone! S-Sorry [ Hack ] to bother you so early- [ Cough-cough ] but I was wondering-[ Cough-hack ] if anyone has a microscope I could borrow? [ Cough-Cough ]

[Sherlock looks concerned.]

"Our cells"?

[The rest makes some sort of sense - hypothetically.]

Ah, Haibara is only other surviving victim of the Apotoxin.

You were solving a puzzle and got too close.

[Sherlock sounds more like he's talking from experience rather than deducing other things Shinichi is not saying.]

Are you all right?

[Immediately, right now?]

...Actually-I didn't even know about the organization until that night. I just so happened to noticed someone acting suspicious so I followed and.. well got... um... caught.

[Sherlock sighs and waves it off.]

Are.you.all.right?

[He won't ask again. Teenagers, they're the worst.]

Of course, why wouldn't I be? [ 'Guess the milk's not so bad after all' ]

Well you have just rapidly aged ten years after ingesting poisoned milk.

[That was said in the "you're an idiot" tone.]

[ He just shrugs. ]

It's not so bad after the first few times-Haibara has made a few temporary antidotes, unfortunately though, she won't let me have them unless it's an emergency.

[ 'Now I just need to know how long this will last and if the milk will do this every time... if it does I may never have to be 'Conan' again while stuck in Mayfield. ]

First few times!? How many times have you experienced this?

[If Shinichi says Sherlock sounds concerned or worried, he'll deny it.]

[ Hang on, he's got think about this. ]

Saa... I believe this makes eight.

You prefer being this age... and you think the milk caused it.

[Sherlock looks stern.]

You are not allowed to run the experiment again. At least not until we know something more about the milk.

Of course I do. Who wants to be stuck as a seven year old? I had a life you know, before I became Conan. I was known throughout Japan as the famous high school detective, the savior of the Japanese Police Force.

[ He winces. Was it really that obvious? Ah well.. how lame was it that he finally gets to be 'Shinichi' again and Ran is stuck as a drone. ]

O-of course.

[Sherlock nods.]

Good, keep it that way.

[Sherlock is now searching through the Pharmacy. There was morphine. He was hoping to find some cocaine, though highly regulated in the 1950s, it was still considered as an aid to those who where experiencing withdrawal symptoms from Morphine back then. There should be some around.]

[As he was looking, he sees some syringes and pockets them. Then he takes one of the bottles of liquid morphine. Then.... on a high shelf in the corner, he finds a small bottle of liquid cocaine. He grins and actually relaxes because he now knows he has a fallback plan. He won't use it unless he needs to, but even just knowing its there is comforting.

Right. Oh, ~~Con~~ Sinichi is still here.]

Savior of the Japanese Police Force? That's a rather... impressive title.

It used to be. But since I became small Kudo Shinichi has disappeared. I guess that's to be expected though-I can't let anyone know who I am and I can't take credit for the cases I solve. I can't give Them reason to think I survived.

[ Come to think of it, something's been nagging at the back of his mind since he first had the idea of Mayfield being simulated reality but up until now he's mostly ignored it. No sense in panicking over nothing but... It's probably nothing to be worried about. ]

[Sherlock has all but forgotten about the milk samples. He finds a few rubber tourniquets and pockets them as well. But at the last statement, he turns and faces Shinichi.]

"Them"? Them who?

The people responsible for force-feeding me that poison. A criminal organization shrouded in black.

[Having attained all he needs, Sherlock tries to refocus his energies onto what Shinichi is saying. He runs his hands through his hair.]

Are they here?

[Sherlock doesn't understand why he'd be so worried if they weren't even here. They really have enough to worry about without that.]

[ Yeah.. that's the part that's been nagging at him. ]

...I don't know. I don't think so, but it might be possible.

[Sherlock sighs.]

Best to keep you hidden then. When you changed before... how long did it last?

[Sherlock checks his watch.]

The first time it depends on what triggers the transaction- the chinese liquor only works for about thirty to forty-five minutes while prototype antidote works for twenty four hours as long as there's about a ten hour break between doses.

Since I don't know what in the milk caused it, I can't say when it'll wear off.

I doubt the milk would be anything like the antidote. Mayfield just isn't that kind, I don't think.

[He checks his watch again.]

Do you want to stay here, or should we try to get you to the fl- house?

I'll stay here. I can't risk that it wearing off while I'm out in the open.

Do you need anything?

[He looks down at himself.]

Humm, best if it's nothing from the front area.

[ He has suspicions but he probably doesn't want to know. ]

No thanks, I'm fine.

[It's more that Sherlock is in his pajama bottoms.]

Okay...

[Sherlock sits against the wall.]

Waiting's dull, you know.
