[Expedition; Dictated]

[modernholmes]

 Can someone help me!  Kaito-niichan was really scared and then he fainted!  And now he's on the deck and I can't wake him up!  

It isn't safe to stay on the deck like this, right?  But I'm not big enough to move him by myself!

Ya sure you didn't have anything to do with why he fainted?

[Dictated]

[modernholmes]

How could I do something like that? I'm just a kid. Ah, but he was really scared first. I've never heard anyone scream that loud at fish.

[Dictated]

[loves_osaka]

Wait... that guy... he screamed about a fish?

[ BRB filtering this to Kudo only. ]

Isn't that th' guy you said was Kid?

Filtered

[modernholmes]

That is definitely confirmed now. [His tone is pure smugness.] Also, it seems he has a crippling fear of fish.

Filtered

[loves_osaka]

Well... I guess that makes things simple, doesn't it? Next time he has a heist jus' stick th' gem in an aquarium and voila! Problem solved. Still.. wouldn't expect somethin' like that of him.

Maa, other than that, how're things on your end?

Re: Filtered

[modernholmes]

It should make the next heist very interesting.

Well enough. We're still traveling down a river for now. No serious incidents yet. How is it at the castle?

[loves_osaka]

I almost feel sorry for th' guy.

About th' same as when ya left. A few more people have gone home and a few more have taken their place. Not much t' report, I'm afraid.

[modernholmes]

I expect that will be changing soon.

[loves_osaka]

Ah, I kinda have a bad feelin' t' be honest.

[modernholmes]

There is a precedent. On several occasions there have been invasions of the castle during times when a large number of the residents have left.

[loves_osaka]

Good thing I stayed behind then, huh? No worries Ku-ah-Conan-kun. I got my eyes peeled.

[modernholmes]

I'm counting on you for that.

And get the name right. Co-nan. How is that so difficult to remember?

[loves_osaka]

I won't ya down!

I can't help it-doesn't matter what yer size, yer still th' same guy.

[modernholmes]

Yes. One who is living under a false name.

[loves_osaka]

Oi, I am tryin' Don't tha' go unnoticed.

[modernholmes]

I have definitely noticed your trying.

Pfft. I keep forgetting words x.x

[loves_osaka]

[ Siiigh. ]

Don't ya ever get tired o' goin' by 'Conan'?

Well, anyway, let's agree t' check back with one another every couple o' days. Unless somethin' major happens then report back as soon as possible, kay?

[modernholmes]

Always. But it is still necessary.

Agreed.

[loves_osaka]

[ He doesn't really think it's a problem if they're the only two around.. but that's left unspoken. Kudo probably knows anyway. ]

Maa! Until then, good luck findin' someone t' move that guy.

[noblefive]

You still need help moving him?

[modernholmes]

He's still sleeping on the deck, and I can't move him at all!

[noblefive]

Which boat are you on? I'll see if I can reach you.

[modernholmes]

[Conan identifies the boat.]

[noblefive]

[And a few minutes later there's a 7'4" muscle-bound soldier coming over, Conan. Yep, he can easily lift Kaito.]

[modernholmes]

[It's so useful to have friends to take care of the heavy lifting.]

Thank you for helping!

[noblefive]

No problem. [Jorge bends down to pick Kaito up.] Where do you need him? He got a bed?

[modernholmes]

Just with the rest of the beds!

[noblefive]

Got it.

[And Jorge just starts heading off down to the beds.]

Know what happened?

[modernholmes]

Not at all! [This was a complete lie.] He was screaming at the fish and then he fell over!

[noblefive]

Might be sun or heatstroke. Especially with the fish-yelling.

[Jorge just sets Kaito down on the nearest bed.]

There any water around? He'll probably need it.

[modernholmes]

That makes sense! [It certainly wasn't because Conan decided to tranquilize him.]

I'm not sure. I could look?

[noblefive]

That'd be great.

[Meanwhile, Jorge can take a quick look to see if there's anything more to a guy randomly collapsing...]

Sorry, had to add this >>

[moonlightmagician]

[ There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him-he's just sleeping. ]

[ ...but careful about where you put your hands because this is a magician and it's not his fault if his doves suddenly fly out or confetti pops out his arms or something. ]

[noblefive]

[And Jorge actually jumps back as confetti pops out of the guy's sleeves.]

Jeez...

[hullo_sweetie]

Do you happen to have any smelling salts on the boat somewhere?

[modernholmes]

I haven't seen any!

[Not that he would use them if he did. The longer this guy stayed asleep the more peace he would have.]

[hullo_sweetie]

Sometimes the best thing to do is to just wait until they snap out of the faint.

[modernholmes]

But I didn't think he should just stay on the deck like this. What if he stays asleep for a really long time?

[hullo_sweetie]

No one's been over to help you yet?
