First Deduction [Video]

[modernholmes]

[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!

The Kaitou Kid heist. It was really cool! He walked on air just like a bird!

Ah, someone just said they would come.

Yes.

I do not have many answers. I can only tell you that this city is named Discedo, and the land is Fortuna.

[playwitchu]

Kaitou?

*Okay the other her is now more interested in this kid.*

How did he walk on air?

That is good. I am glad to hear that little one.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Because he's a magician! But he's still a bad person for being a thief. That's why the detectives are going to catch him some day.

[He was very glad that there was no chance of that stupid thief overhearing this particular act. Probably. But he had been at a heist.

...Conan makes a mental note to check for bugs at the earliest opportunity.]

[Discedo. Fortuna. That was definitely a Latin root, although he couldn't pinpoint it any further than that without checking some references.]

Do you know why it is called that? They sound like kind of funny names!

No. Only that this is not Earth.

Any language may seem odd if you do not know it; if you explore I believe you shall see signs written in English lettering and in another language.

[Interesting. The culprit had apparently gone to a great deal of trouble to convince the victims that they were on a different planet.]

Eh, it isn't? If this isn't earth where is it?

As I said, I do not have many answers. This is the information relayed to me from others in this place, and I can only do the same for you.

However...

I have not travelled very far in my life or seen many great places. This may be similar to somewhere on Earth. I wouldn't know.

There are no official police officers here, but I'm a member of the Watch, an organization dedicated to patrolling this city.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Eh, really? I thought every place had police.

[And that did not sound good. If there was no local law enforcement in this place, then the culprits had an even wider range of influence than he'd feared.]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Discedo, the city you're currently in, is largely disorganized with no real government watching over.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

But if you don't have police, what do you do with criminals?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

People don't commit crimes often.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Eh? That's strange. Do you know why?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Hm.

Perhaps they realize that committing crimes won't be beneficial towards anyone here.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, but if you use that argument it would only apply to premeditated crimes. It should have no effect on the other-

[Conan abruptly cuts himself off as he remembers that he should be acting like a child.]

At least that's what Shinichi-niichan would say! He's a famous detective.

Um um I don't think there's a police officer here. But there is a school!

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He's a little surprised at the response, but it's somewhat understandable for a kid to know if he's around detectives a lot. Well, it doesn't really matter to him in the end]

...Staying outside is dangerous, you should head indoors soon.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I will! Someone said they would come.

But isn't that strange?

[listeningto.livejournal.com]

.........It is?

Re: [ video ]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Mmm, both schools and law enforcement are symbols of government. All societies have laws they wish to enforce, but not all societies support schools. Isn't it strange to have a school but no laws?

At least that's what Shinichi-niichan would say!

[listeningto.livejournal.com]

...I didn't know that. You're smart!

Who's "Shinichi-niichan"?

Re: [ video ]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

He's a detective! And he's teaching me how to be a detective too.

[listeningto.livejournal.com]

What's a detective?
