Second Deduction [Video]

[Three days in this place, and he'd made no progress in deducing the motive behind this situation.  There seemed to be no pattern in who had been taken and how long they had been kept here.  Not even the victims who had been kept here for long periods at all knew anything real about the situation.  The few supposed reasons he'd heard were ludicrous and obviously merely a guess on the part of his fellow captives.  Obviously, he couldn't make any more progress in this case until he had acquired more information.

And so....]

Hello!

[He smiles brightly at the camera.]

My name is Conan Edogawa!  I wanted to thank everyone who helped me when I woke up here.  Thank you!

But I'm still confused.  Did everyone here just wake up like that?  Someone told me that we're here because the scientists brought us here.  Is that really true?  And has anyone ever met them?  They must be very mean people if they won't let us go home.

Yes.

[That's pretty much the answer he has to all of the questions there.]

What do you mean, Mister?

[Oi, oi, give me something I can use.]
fierybluebird: (Something on your mind?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-03-31 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Marco. I'm not that old. [Okay he is, and then some, but still.]

Yes, everyone wakes up here just like that. No recollection of how they got here or why or that they were injected with a microchip by some scientists. Yes, we assume they brought us and the others here, if someone dies, it's also the scientists who return them. And yeah, that's true. People have met them, and yes, they're fairly "mean." Though not everyone here could go home even if not for the scientists, so in some ways, that's a small kindness. And they sometimes try to make it easier on the people here bringing presents. They used to run a weekly news, but they've gotten quieter.

What's your name kid?
kongeriget: (yes!)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-03-31 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
We can't go home until things are nice!

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He honestly didn't know where to start with all of that. Microchips? Returning from the dead? Bribing the captives with gifts? Could it be that there was some kind of mental conditioning going on to make all the captives believe in some of this nonsense? But what was the motive?

But no time to think about this now. Conan makes a wondering sound and deliberately focuses on making his body language as childish as possible.

Oh, okay Mr. Marco. I'm Conan Edogawa!

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? But that's not fair at all!
kongeriget: (confused)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-03-31 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? It's fine.
fierybluebird: (thinking)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-03-31 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you Conan. And welcome to Discedo. For better or worse.

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
But don't you think its mean? They broke this city and now they're making all these other people clean it up.
kongeriget: (yes!)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-03-31 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope! Humans are supposed to be totally into building stuff, right? Exactly!

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! But I hope I won't be here long. Ran-neechan gets really worried when she can't find me.

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oi, oi, why is this guy so cheerful?]

But if they're taking people to build things, why did they take someone like me? Or the other kids I've met? I don't know anything about building!

Time passes a little strangely while you're here. I met someone several weeks from my past who's been here two years, and someone who'd been here a week that was two years into my world's future.

Basically, she probably won't know you're gone unless they bring her here, eh.
kongeriget: (lol)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-03-31 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ya can learn.

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is this the kind of white lie they tell kids these days?]

Eh, really? But I wouldn't want Ran-neechan to be kidnapped too.

But I don't want to build things. I want to be a detective like Uncle and Heiji-niichan!
kongeriget: (yes!)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-03-31 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Then ya can do that instead!

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
But you just said that they take people here to build things.
kongeriget: (lol)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-03-31 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. But society needs more than that! It also needs laws and order and police to solve fucking murders already!

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is that the kind of language you use in front of a child?]

Eh? Have there been murders here? But if you don't have police what do you do with the culprits?
kongeriget: (what.)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-03-31 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
( this is just how he talks, man. )

People don't care unless it's them.

[The boy is silent for a long moment. When he speaks again it is a much lower serious tone.]

Murder is the worst of crimes.

...Are you saying that people have been killed here, and their murderers are still walking free?
kongeriget: (eww)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2011-04-01 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yuppp.

But don't worry about it too much, kiddo. I'll get an adult to do something someday…

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[That was as good as no solution at all!]

Ne, mister. Did you know? The best time to solve a crime is within the same day it happens. Even Holmes would have problems solving a murder if it happened a long time ago and all the evidence was lost.
fierybluebird: (Keep talking)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-04-01 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Marco? LIE? Only like every other word. But that's only when it'll amuse him.]

Nobody wants their friends kidnapped usually, nor do they wish to be here, eh. The scientists are "mean," we covered that.
