[ Since returning to Mayfield Conan has locked himself in his room with any mystery books he could find. If he figured out the trick and murderer before he finished his book he'd toss it in a pile of books that couldn't hold his attention for long. If he is kept guessing until the end then he sets it aside on his night stand to read through it again and find the key details that point to the murderer. So far he has not come across such a mystery. Normally, he'd finish reading the book despite figuring out the trick-but this is different. He's only reading to keep his mind focused and off Ran. ]

[ He's been having difficulty concentrating on anything lately because he's been constantly worried about his childhood friend. He closes the last of the mystery books he'd managed to find and tosses into the pile with all the others before sinking down into his pillows. Ran would be okay... wouldn't she? ]

[ He takes a calming breath and tucks his hands behind his head, staring fixedly at the ceiling... ]

[ ... ]

[ ..... ]

[ ... ]

RAAAAAN!

[ He wakes up in a cold sweat, immediately sitting up and breathing hard. What a Nightmare. ]

[ Conan's not in a good mood today. He's stille feeling jittery and shaky so to calm himself down as best as possible he's got soccer ball out and kicking it at the side of the house-when it bounces off he rushes to meet it and kick it again. ]

[ It helps. But he's obviously bothered by something as he keeps missing the small 'x' he drew on the side of the house with a piece of chalk. ]

((ooc: If you're curious about Conan's dream I've left a link to it as I wrote it out in a separate journal entry. Warning. It involves violence. ))

I don't know...

It's definitely possible, but so is the idea that someone preserved their minds while their bodies were dying-Of course it's also a possible the person that came up with the solution was guilty of inflicting the necessity of such measures upon the other residents.

And it may have actually happened in the fifties.

The fifties had nowhere near this level of technology though. It's just as likely a future time where 50's lingo has come back into vogue.

...No, not that was available or known to the public, anyway. But there's another part that bugs me, this- 'If he can conjure something like that out of thin air?' If the person knew about CGI effects and that sort of thing then 'Conjure' isn't really the right word, is it? It should be something along the lines of 'look how easily he's accomplished this' or 'look what he's done.'

Then again, that follows the assumption this is really just a simulation when there might be another answer we haven't thought of yet.
