Case: 024

[ He's out of the hospital now and feeling much better. He'll even accept some visitors as long as he knows them. He's still not leaving the house though, better that way since he's still recovering. ]

Hi! I just wanted to let everyone know I'm back now, but I probably won't be going outside for a while. Sorry if I worried anyone.

But, that's not why I'm making this call. With things turning briefly intangible I thought I'd warn everyone to be really careful before they pick something up and try to avoid carrying it for too long. It might be kind of tedious to set something down every three feet but it'd be a disaster if someone dropped a pot of boiling soup on themselves, right?

And, if anyone has any ideas as to what's happening, I'd like to hear them.

So you've recovered?

I'd almost thought you were dead. Then again from what I've heard, that wouldn't be too much of an issue regardless.

[wOW GIN WAY TO RUIN HIS 'I GOT BETTER' CHEER.]

1/2

[1_truth]

[ Just his voice alone is enough to rid Conan of any cheer he may have been feeling. ]

[1_truth]

[ He recovers from the shock quickly enough. This is a phone. Gin doesn't know where he is and there's no way he'd have something to trace the call. ]

Ah, I assume you've found killing me would only be a waste of time?

[ Regardless, there's still a bit of uneasiness in his voice. ]

[shadesofgray]

You seem to be under the impression I wanted to do that anyways.

Don't give yourself so much credit, 'boy'. Interesting as you are, I have better things to do then bother myself with the work of someone without any regard for their own life.

[yea but you said he was interesting. does that make this worse..??]

[1_truth]

[ ...Interesting...? ]

That seemed to be your goal back in butcher's. But don't worry, I haven't told anyone the truth. I wouldn't put them in that kind of danger.

[shadesofgray]

Ohhh? Perhaps I should thank you for making things easier then... [aaAAAAH.]

Hn! The goal was interrogation. Whether you died or not at the end of it didn't matter. [Hnhnhnhnhn...]

[1_truth]

[ Glancing around to make sure none of his housemates are present ]

You would have killed me at the end of your interrogation. You can't risk the truth getting out can you? One day it'll come to light, but until then it's better that no one knows, right?

[ Yeeeaaaah... he's not talking about JUST the interrogation. ]

[shadesofgray]

And is that a death wish? [One he'll ignore, since you've proven yourself to be a selfless idiot already.] You and I both know that death wouldn't be permanent. The memory would remain.

There are many things worse than death, 'boy'. Keep that in mind. As it is- you know exactly why you're still alive. [you escaped, idiot.]

[1_truth]

I only survived because of a stroke of luck. Another fact we both know.

You don't know where I am. You won't waste time searching for me and now I know to avoid the butcher's. I wouldn't call it a death wish. [ More like a taunt ]

[shadesofgray]

Hnhnhnhnhn...

Don't tempt me to find it then. Unlike you, 'Drones' have no sense to keep their mouths shut in 'casual conversation'.

[1_truth]

Ah, but they also don't know my real last name.

[shadesofgray]

You really are horrible at keeping yourself 'safe', aren't you.

[1_truth]

Not as much as it might seem.

[shadesofgray]

Hnhhnhahaha... [Ohhhhhh you ARE interesting aren't you..!]

Rest assured 'boy'- I still have no intent to kill you in the near future.

But that doesn't mean you've become immune to my interest... [gin no don't stalk children.]

[1_truth]

[ Hahaha. If you knew who he really was... ]

I'd be careful with that if I were you, taking up an interest in a little kid might bring you a lot of unwanted attention.
