Spring fever?

No, that isn't it. Its something about the date. I know that much.

Parent's birthday?

I never remember that.

One of those types, eh.

What do you normally do back in your world?

Birthdays aren't important.

I go to school.

You're just a bundle of fun, aren't you kid?

Maybe it's a school thing?

They're boring. And annoying. everyone making a fuss over something that doesn't matter.

I doubt that. It feels like something more personal than that.

It matters to them.

Well, what things are important to you?

I've never seen the point.

[Conan thinks about that, and his expression suddenly lights up.]

Holmes fell down Reichenbach Falls on May 4 in 1891.

Holmes??

... Huh, I don't think I'll ever get used to hearing about worlds that are hundreds of years into the future of mine.

Sherlock Holmes!

Who's that?

Hmm...I'm not very good with dates. I have to write everything down--I get lots of practice because the Professor isn't good with commemorative dates either. I have to keep track of all sorts of birthdays and anniversaries and holidays for him.

I don't think May 4th is any sort of holiday that I can think of, though..

[Conan puts his hand on his chin and starts thinking aloud.]

On May 4 in 1891 Sherlock Holmes fell with Moriarty from Reichenbach Falls. In Japan it is celebrated as Greenery Day and falls in the middle of Golden Week,

[He pauses, clearly thinking as well.]

Ah. I didn't know that...

To be honest, though I really find Mr. Holmes very interesting I haven't read all of Mr. Doyle's books about him.

Holmes is amazing! I wish I had some of my books with me.

We get to ask for gifts on special occasions!

Not birthdays or anniversaries, but...well, I don't even remember what exactly happened but there was an awful lot of bad things going on--maybe it was when dinosaurs were running all over town. Or maybe when there were word-fish everywhere--anyway, that's not important. But after all of that, things from home just appeared. And on Christmas, they asked us what we'd want from Santa. It's how I got one of my puzzle books here!

[For a moment Conan thinks there is something about birthdays he should be remembering. But then he gets distracted by the rest of that statement. He deliberately ignores the obvious nonsense.]

They give gifts? Isn't that suspicious?

Well...not really. I don't think the scientists want us dead.

If they did, they wouldn't bring us back to life when we died.

[ooc: So close to getting a birthday comment!]

I don't believe that. It is most likely some trick.

[ooc: And now he's distracted. Conan is so stubborn about things like this.]

No...no. It's definitely not a trick. [He fidgets a bit behind the screen.] I don't really want to explain how I know it's not a trick, but I promise it's definitely not a trick.

[ooc: I know!! And I'm trying to find a re-routing question and failing..]

Don't say weird things without evidence. Something like that is just too illogical.

[ooc:maybe I'll stick an eureka moment in in a few comments.]

I died here before. I'm obviously not dead now, so they don't leave us dead.

There were these time-flowers all over town a ways back, and I just happened to walk past the flower that showed the full sequence of events of how I died. And then I asked the Professor what happened. It happened when I was here before and I didn't remember it at all until I saw it happen.

[ooc: Redirecting is getting harder and harder. Do you know I don't know when Luke's birthday is? I've read all sorts of character profiles but it's not stated anywhere I've seen. Now I'm going to look again.]

Isn't it possible that they manufactured that evidence? You're alive now, so you couldn't have died.

[ooc:Definitely a eureka moment then. XD, Conan is the first character I've ever played that had an official birthday. And that's because a criminal bombed a building on his birthday.]
