Case 020

[1_truth]

{{ →!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. ]

Hm, really? What are you investigating? Maybe I can help. I've done some evidence gathering before.

[1_truth]

Th-that's okay. It's something that came from my world s-so it's better if no one else gets involved.

[heartisabattleground]

[Sorry Conan, problems from other worlds doesn't restrict Sora from helping.]

That's okay. I'm used to helping with that kind of stuff.

[1_truth]

Ah-well, it's really better if you don't get involved in this.

[heartisabattleground]

Hey, if you really need help with this stuff I'm okay with getting involved. It's kind of my job and all.

[1_truth]

No way! It's dangerous!

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora lifts his hands up.]

And? You look like you're in trouble. And friends help friends when they are in trouble.

[See Conan. Sora's your friend now. Can't deny help now.]

[1_truth]

Not this kind of trouble.

[ Conan tries to be patient, he really does. But when the black organization is ever present threat it's not easy. ]

This is like a black hole. Get too close and it'll tear your life apart.

[heartisabattleground]

I've already dealt with one of those, trust me.

[Like, a literal black hole, Conan. His whole island was ripped to pieces.]

[1_truth]

[ Easy Kudo. Don't lose your temper... ]

You haven't dealt with this. The less people involved the better.

[heartisabattleground]

Man, you're like my friend, Riku. He always thinks he has to do everything on his own. But you have people to back you up, you know?

And if you keep this from them, they're going to worry more about you.

[1_truth]

I refuse to let anyone else's life get destroyed because of them

[heartisabattleground]

What have they done exactly?

[1_truth]

[ Damnit. He's said too much. Next time he should just let the kid have his feelings hurt. ]

That's confidential.

[heartisabattleground]

[Conan, he's probably the same age as you.]

Oh really? Well, are they like Organization XIII (13)? Going around and hurting people to get what they want?

[1_truth]

Try black mail and murder.

[heartisabattleground]

[Well the second bit is something Organization XIII would do.]

Than, you definitely shouldn't handle it alone. I've got your back, whether you like it or not. Besides, I'm pretty good at fighting.

[1_truth]

[ And his temper snaps. He will not allow anyone else get involved. ]

I SAID IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!

1/?

[heartisabattleground]

[Oh, oh wow, that's a big temper there.]

Re: 2/?

[heartisabattleground]

...

3/3 okay think I'm done

[heartisabattleground]

And you think this town isn't?

[He folds his arms.]

Look, I may not know much about them, but I do know when someone needs help, even if they're too stubborn to admit it. I've handled plenty of dangerous situations. Also, who here was the one hiding? You're obviously worried about whoever they are and you shouldn't deal with something that dangerous on your own man.

[1_truth]

[ There might be a vein throbbing in his forehead. ]

Mayfield doesn't hold a candle to them. And like I said, the less people involved the better.

[heartisabattleground]

[Sora might have one too.]

Same with Organization XIII. But, okaaaaaay...less people involved? Well I'm only one more person, so it's not that bad.

[Sora has forcefully added himself to your investigation.]

[1_truth]

Yes. It is. I refuse to let anyone else get involved.

Now drop it.

[heartisabattleground]

That's a lot coming from a little kid.

[Arm fold.]
