[Now here is a familiar voice, though irritated and a little confused.  Isn't he a great actor?]

Oi.  Can anyone tell me just what is going on here?  Why are there all these posts on the journals about me being kidnapped?

....And when did Kaitou Kid arrive in the castle?

[ooc: Loss End.  Shinichi is back to being Conan.  And is about to lie about everything ever.]

With your permission Meitantei, I'd like to borrow your identity for brief period of time in order to cement any suspicions that may come from Conan-kun's sudden reappearance and Kudo-san disappearance.

And be warned, I can and will act with or without your permission.

...Just what is the point in asking if you're going to do as you please anyway?

[moonlightmagician]

Less of a chance you'll nearly slip-up like you did back in that dressing room.

Filtered

[modernholmes]

You mean the reaction you deliberately set out to get?

Filtered

[moonlightmagician]

I meant to shock you. It was never in my plans that you nearly reveal your identity.

Re: Filtered

[modernholmes]

What exactly did you expect, showing up with my face like that?

Filtered

[moonlightmagician]

Shock.

Not 'I'm the real-!'

Why on earth would I want you to reveal your real identity when you've gone through some pretty extreme measures to keep it secret?

Re: Filtered

[modernholmes]

Shock is a well known trigger for slipped secrets.

Excuse me for thinking a great detective with your reputation would have a better hold over their tongue.

Re: Filtered

[modernholmes]

When exactly did my reputation include my acting skills?

Filtered

[moonlightmagician]

Since Sherlock Holmes was also an excellent actor and could hold his tongue in a particularly shocking situation. [ Oh yeah. He went there. ]

Re: Filtered

[modernholmes]

...That logic doesn't even make sense.

[moonlightmagician]

You idolize Sherlock Holmes, don't you? You want to be just like him? Then you're gonna have to learn to keep your mouth shut when the unexpected happens.

As always your knowledge of me is disturbing. Just how much have you been stalking me?

Filtered

[moonlightmagician]

I don't stalk you, detective. I merely like to keep tabs.

Re: Filtered

[modernholmes]

If that's what you want to call it.

[atadiscoverer]

Ah! Conan! Thank bloody hell you're alright!

[Filter]

Welcome back. Is there anything you need me to do to help cover up?

Filtered

[moonlightmagician]

If I spent all my time stalking you I'd never get any work done. I figure it's better for my sanity just to check in on all of you detectives after a certain amount of time has passed.

[goldencirclet]

Conan! Yer okay!

Re: Filtered

[modernholmes]

You spend too much time with it already.

[modernholmes]

I'm fine. I have no idea what has been going on here.

[Filter]

Better not try anything yet. That annoying thief has something planned. Knowing him, he's probably going to make a public appearance as 'Kudo Shinichi'.

[modernholmes]

I'm fine! I was never kidnapped to begin with.

[goldencirclet]

But you were missin' and that mean guy said...

[modernholmes]

Mean guy?

[goldencirclet]

Yeah, the guy that said he kidnapped ya...
