My, that was interesting. From what I've heard, this is rather common, isn't it? The castle causing a disruption, like that.

I was glad to see some of us (particularly the children) having fun in the ballroom, even if the sleeping arrangements have left me with a stiff back. I suppose it could have been worse – I think I've heard that some of you were paired off or something of that nature.

This is just a test. If anyone can read this, can you mention it to me? Say... 'bonsai', back to me.

If your back is hurting you should rest.

[Voice]

[lifeandpride]

Er... yes, but I'm not exactly straining myself at the moment.

[Voice]

[modernholmes]

It seems logical, doesn't it?

[Voice]

[lifeandpride]

I suppose so, but it's nothing major.

Were you in the ballroom as well?

Re: [Voice]

[modernholmes]

Mmm, for the whole time.

[Voice]

[lifeandpride]

Did you enjoy the games and treats?

Re: [Voice]

[modernholmes]

They were okay.

[Voice]

[lifeandpride]

...Just okay?

Re: [Voice]

[modernholmes]

I don't really like those kinds of games.

[lifeandpride]

I see... What kind of games do you like?

[modernholmes]

Soccer. And games that involve strategy and thinking.

[lifeandpride]

Soccer... I think someone I know is fond of it, but I'm not familiar with it myself.

Have you ever played Go?

[modernholmes]

A few times, yes.

[lifeandpride]

If you enjoyed it, I wouldn't mind a few rounds now and then. I left my usual go partner back home.

[modernholmes]

I would like that. I don't get to play many games.

[Though of course he would be faking his level of skill.]

[lifeandpride]

Whenever you like, then.

What was your name again young man?

[modernholmes]

Conan Edogawa.

[lifeandpride]

I'm pleased to meet you. I'm Ukitake Juushirou.

Anytime you want to play go, just say the word.
