First Deduction [Video]

[A small boy, no older than six or seven, is peering into the camera with a look of deep concentration. Suddenly his expression subtly shifts into a childish expression of worry.]

Ne! Ne! Is anyone there? I just found this device here, and it seems a little like a cell phone. But my phone isn't working. Isn't that strange?

Is there a police officer anywhere? At school they said I should find one if I got lost.  And I can't find Ran-neechan anywhere!

Has anyone ever met the scientists? They're the mean people who brought us here, right?

Hello Conan, I'm Rebecca. Can you tell me what's around you? I can come get you. It's not good to be wandering around here alone for anyone, especially kids.

That's right. The likelihood of someone meeting them is 1/153485738924783, especially since the pieces of this fragment come and go.

Mmm! I see lots of buildings, and there's water nearby. I can smell the fish.

.... [Oh right, one of those kids. Hoboy.]

Let's start finding you an adult to stay with. I'm so glad I don't live with adults.

Wow, that's a big number!

Why? I have to go back and find Ran-neechan. She gets really worried when I go off by myself.

I'm sorry to say this but, no one can go back home right now. We've been kidnapped by the scientists and have to live here.

It's not big at all. It's the smallest probability of all. [ yeah, you're not fooling her, boy. after all, she knows rika, who acts like a kid but is in fact over a hundred. ]

Wild animals and creatures emerge after dark. At dawn and dusk, too, close to the outskirts, but mainly at night.

Eh! Why would they do that?

[Good, confirmation on what he had already guessed. Scientists, huh. Now he just needed to find the motive. Was this related to Them? Or was it something else.]

That sounds scary! Does everyone here hide inside at night?

Re: [ audio ]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Ahhh? Is it? I don't know very much math yet. But that had a lot of numbers in it!

[video]

[waiting4niinii.livejournal.com]

Don't know. I've been here for a while now. Where did you come from?

[Kid, you're weird.]

Re: [ audio ]

[monsterwine.livejournal.com]

It is. And I guarantee that.

Re: [video]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I live in Beika City.

[waiting4niinii.livejournal.com]

Never heard of that. I'm from Hinamizawa in Japan. And everyone else here comes from different places.

*How many more kids are they gonna bring into the city?!*

Is someone coming to get you?

Re: [video]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Ahhh? I don't think I've ever been there. Beika City is in Tokyo.

It would appear so. Not out of fear- just to avoid being harmed.

Many people in this place are quick to offer help. Perhaps you could rely on somebody for shelter tonight.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Ah, I don't think so? I got separated from Ran-neechan at the heist. And now this place doesn't look familiar at all.

[inweskersdesk.livejournal.com]

Can you tell if they're apartment buildings or are they bigger, like warehouses?

Re: text;

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh, I see now. Thank you for the advice!

But what is this place?

Re: [video]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

They might be warehouses?

[playwitchu]

Heist? What heist?

If no one comes then I can. I have plenty of blankets and food.
