Case 020

{{ →!Action | 915 Bilko Boulevard | Shortly after Gin's post }}

[ His face is pale and he may have broken into a cold sweat as he slams the phone down-sitting back on the chair he had to climb up on and just stares at the phone. There's a million thoughts running through his head. ]

[ This can't happen. He had to be mistaken... right? It was just... someone with a similar voice... but no. He can't take that chance. He needs to know beyond a doubt if that was really Gin on the other line. ]

[ Conan is crouched down low on the porch and just watching the passersby. He's mostly concealed but you can probably see his red shoes and back of his blue blazer. ]

[ Conan is very much on high alert right now so at the sudden noise he jumps horribly. ]

Oh... it's just you.

[est33medpouncellor]

"Well who else would be stalking through the bushes silly~?"

[1_truth]

Er.. uh... no one... I guess.

[est33medpouncellor]

"... ...Reaaaaaaaally?"

She's not entirely sure. "I bet that's not true."

[1_truth]

Don't worry about it.

[est33medpouncellor]

"But I gotta worry about it..! You're all afuraid about it!"

[1_truth]

I SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!

[est33medpouncellor]

"Mn!"

Oh good going Conan.

You scared her.

[1_truth]

Ah- [ Well.. he didn't mean to yell. ] I-I mean it's really nothing to worry about. I'll take care of it.

[est33medpouncellor]

"That's what Karkat said last time, but it didn't work at all."

[1_truth]

[ Why can't people just -listen- ]

I don't care what he says. I told you not to worry about it.

[est33medpouncellor]

"No no, I meant in my world..! He said he would take care of evurrything when Gamz33 went crazy."

"But instead evurryone died."

[1_truth]

[ Everyone died...? ]

I definitely won't let that happen.

[est33medpouncellor]

"...I don't think Karkat meant fur it to happen eithurr. He didn't like finding any of our bodies..!"

WHY WAS THAT AN 'OUR'.

"But you gotta at least tell someone who can help, even if it's not me! Cause othurrwise, they won't know what's coming if it's something really bad."

[1_truth]

It's really nothing to worry about. If it was then I would get help.

Now drop it.

[est33medpouncellor]

"Okay."

"Oh, and I need to tell Misturr Holmes that the people who got droned fur real and evurr smell just like the othurr drones, but the ones who come back only sorta smell like them."

[1_truth]

If you need to talk to Holmes-san, you should do so directly. He'd probably prefer it that way.

[est33medpouncellor]

"Yea but he k33ps saying I don't exist, just cause we met when he had that bad smell all ovurr him..!"

[1_truth]

Bad smell?

[est33medpouncellor]

"Yea! The kind that makes your think-pan go funny."

[1_truth]

...That doesn't tell me anything.

[est33medpouncellor]

"He had something in him that he shouldn't have. Something that does bad stuff to the body. I don't know what it is though."

[1_truth]

[ He has an idea but... ]

About how long ago was that?

[est33medpouncellor]

"Um um... A few weeks I surrpose."

[1_truth]

Ah, I thought so.
