Dictated

[deductiongeek]

 [Conan's voice was level. His word choice was no different than usual. Unless you knew him very well, or were an expert at reading people it would be impossible to tell that he had just been through a huge shock and disappointment.

Just like the Holmes he idolized, Conan was determined to remain calm and logical, even through the bitterness of the situation.]

Ne, is there anyone else here familiar with Tokyo? Or is there anyone here who was familiar with the cities we have been sent to before?

I fear not.

[deductiongeek]

That's okay! I'm just curious to know if anyone else is noticing the same things I did.

[ensorceler]

The same things?

[deductiongeek]

I tried to go home, but it wasn't there.

[ensorceler]

...It is a facade, nothing more.

[deductiongeek]

Worse than a facade. There are entire buildings and districts that simply aren't here. Or that have been replaced by other buildings.

[He wasn't bitter about this at all.]

[legacydeck]

I'm familiar with a Tokyo - but not quite so much this one, I'm afraid.

[deductiongeek]

How is this Tokyo different from the one you know?

[legacydeck]

Far newer construction, for one. I can tell where some of the old boundaries used to be, but I'd guess it's been decades since this place matched what I knew.

Or, well, if it was the real Tokyo, anyway.

[deductiongeek]

What do you mean by real Tokyo?

[legacydeck]

It's my understanding that this plane, this world appears to create locations based on the memories of residents. It may be that this truly is this world's Tokyo-analog, but given the nature of other things about the castle, I'm not inclined to be overly trusting.

[madetosin]

I am quite familiar with Tokyo. I was born there, after all.

[deductiongeek]

Have you been out to look at this city yet?

[madetosin]

Not much. I intend to wander a bit further afield soon enough. Why do you ask?

[deductiongeek]

There are lots of changes from the Tokyo I knew.

[tapshoetomove]

This is my first time in Japan at all, actually. Are you looking for something, Conan?

[deductiongeek]

Some places. I'm from Tokyo.

[tapshoetomove]

Oh, well that's great then! You get to come home for a bit, right?

[deductiongeek]

No. Because my district isn't here.

[tapshoetomove]

...It isn't? How is that even possible?

[hatedbyfanboys]

I know a few of the cities but not where they're located...

Re: dictacted;

[deductiongeek]

What do you mean by that?

dictacted;

[hatedbyfanboys]

Like, I know the names.

Re: dictacted;

[deductiongeek]

Had you ever been to any of them before arriving at the castle?

[hatedbyfanboys]

... Nope.
