Kid just heard the words over the wind and looked down at the vampire. He gave a half salute and a cocky smile. "Best to find the locals, right?" he shouted down. He sped up a little, now that Mikaela knew where to go. He looked around, trying to find a good rooftop to land on. This was harder then expected. Most of the roofs looked to full of holes to be safe and the rest were small. He had to circle a few times before landing on a more sturdy shed roof. He had to run a few steps or fall because of the momentum. He looked around, trying to spot any activity and keep an eye out for Mikaela. His head turned fast enough to cause the charm on his monocle to swing into his cheek. But after this long wearing the costume he was used to the discomfort.

Mikaela shook his head, not really liking that idea and doubted there would be any locals. It took a few minutes, but eventually the vampire finally made it to the abandoned town, looking out for Kid. Once he found him, he approached, looking around with a frown. "This was a great idea. There's a lot of help we can get here," he mumbled sarcastically. He took a few more steps forward, trying to see if any of the signs were readable. Then, he turned around again. "y the way, what is your name?"

"I'm called the Katio Kid," said Katio, looking around. He ignored the grumbling from the vampire. He hadn't really thought anyone would be in this abandoned town. But it was a good place to start and had better cover then the forest. "What are you called?" He used that sentence like expected a title instead of a name. He frowned and combed the area with his eyes again. He was look for any signs that this place had been abandoned. People sometimes had to leave a city or town because of something wrong with the area. Could something like that have happened here?

"Mikaela Hyakuya," Mika replied, crossing his arms as he looked around. From what he could hear and smell, if didn't seem like there have been anyone here for quite a while. "No one has been here for quite some time." He stated softly. He was about to walk off, then paused, not liking what he was about to suggest. He didn't think looking around would be anything...espeiclly since it looked like this. "Maybe we should look around some? We might be able to find out where this place is."

Kid nodded in greeting. He didn't question Mika's statement. He'd already come to terms that something unnatural was happening. A boy knowing the town was empty simply by the smell was nothing compared to a forest that turned up out of nowhere. He was high enough that getting off the ground would be easy. "I'll look around from the air, if you don't mind. A bird's eye view could be handy." He jumped off the building before Mika could protest or say something. He activated the propeller and climbed a few feet, looking down at the distant dot that was the vampire.

Mikaela blinked, staring up at Kid for a moment before deciding to search the ground. There was going to be nothing, but it was better to check anyway. He made his way to what looked like an abandoned convenient store. In hope something would actually turn up, the vampire pushed open the broken door, looking around at all the scattered newspapers, books, and other things on the floor. He picked up one of the newspapers before continuing out of the store and began scanning the headlines. Hopefully there would be information.

Kid looked around. No sign of life could be seen in the town. It stretched for quite a few blocks before the forest took over. One building, that could have once been a clock tower, graced the middle of the town. It was a good a place to start as any. Kid started to spiral down again to tell Mika of his findings.

Mikaela was still scanning the headlines. There weren't much clues as to where they were, but there were definitely people who lived here at one point and this was one of the main cities. He looked up, spotting Kid and began to fold the newspaper back up as he waited for him.

Kid landed and folded up his glider. He ran a few steps and his cap caught around his heels. He looked up at Mika and noticed the newspaper. "Any clues?" he asked. His foot clinked against something and he looked down. A crushed pare of glasses... He reached down and picked them up. The metal was cold, but a set of wires peeked out of the side. He studied them carefully, a small suspicion nagging in the back of his mind.

Mikaela nodded, unfolding the newspaper and showing him a page from the article. It was about how the city had to evacuate due to a nuclear spill. Still, he would have thought that they would have returned by now; it seemed like that had happened a while ago. "Did you manage to see anything in the sky?" He asked, lowering the newspaper, noticing he held something. "What is that?"

"A pare of glasses." Kid's eyes sparked. He pressed a small button on the side of the glasses, but all that happened was that the wiring sparked a little. The glasses were broken almost beyond repair. But Kid didn't really need the glasses in working order to know who they belonged to. So He was here too. He pocketed the glasses, deciding that he would worry about it later. He could take care of himself. And Mika hadn't seen or scented him, so he had probably moved on. "There's a clock tower in the middle of town. The forest appears to have taken over the outskirts and has reduced this place in size." Was this place really safe after a nuclear spill? It took thousands of years for the radiation to clear up, didn't it? But then again, who said this place ran by the normal rules.

Mikaela eyed him curiously. There was something this human wasn't telling him, but he couldn't ask quite yet; it'd probably be best to just wait. "Lets head to the said tower, then," Mika replied, then headed off in a random direction, toward the direction Kid had flown in. He kept glancing behind him, making sure he was still following. "You said we were from the same place- what part of Japan are you from?"

(I don't actually know which city he lives in, I don't think they ever tell us. XD )
Kid was distracted from Mika's question by a small spark from the glasses wiring. It stung his leg, even through his pocket. He reached in and held them up. A faded...something... was on the screen. It might once have passed as a map, but with no satellite it could only function as a tracking device. A small yellow dot was somewhere near the top of the smudged glass. But there was no way to tell where he was... At least he's alive, thought Kid. He showed the glasses to Mikaela before the vampire could ask. "I believe someone I know is here. These are his glasses."

(Oh xD whoops.)
Mikaela blinked, leaning forward some to study the glasses. "Oh so you did originally have an ambush planned, then everything didn't work out you way," he grumbled, staring at the dot on the smudged glasses. "Someone you know might be here? I don't know..." He hadn't sensed there being another human around, but who knows. Maybe Kid's 'friend' was able to outsmart a vampire. "Let's follow the signal."

(Don't matter. I can guess if the question comes up again. ) "Where'd you get that assumption?" asked Kid, raising his eyebrow. He looked around, looking for more signs of the boy detective. But there was nothing. What could have possibly happened that he would have lost his glasses? Had he met someone else, or had he simply needed to leave in a hurry. "Yes, these are the types of glasses he wears. But I don't think he's in this town anymore..." He glared down at the tracking device. What was the possible miles this thing could track. Nothing more then five miles, surely. But that meant that he could be anywhere within five miles...and still moving. "One problem..." said Kid, trying to look at the faded picture. "One bigger problem... This thing isn't picking up on a signal. He's the one who is wearing the tracking device but this thing doesn't have one. So, we could be anywhere. This thing would work fine in Tokyo, but here there isn't any satellite connection. All we know is that he's probably within five miles in any direction."

(Oh no it's fine xD i actually thought they were from the same city, oops)
Mikaela blinked, glaring at Kid. "Humans are always like that. They set up traps for other humans and blood suckers alike. That's how I came up with that assumption, because they are evil," he muttered looking his direction for a while before around the town. The mention of Tokyo caught his attention. He didn't understand the issue. This sort of looked like Tokyo, but there haven't been any satellite data since the world was taken over. "Then we draw him out into the open." His blue eyes rested on Kid once again. "It can't be that difficult. But you know this person, what would get his attention?"

(I believe he lives near where Conan does, but not in the same city.) Vampire then, confirmed Kid. He wasn't to surprised. After all, he went to school with a sorceress. However, on Mika's next question Katio had to swallow a joke. Because he currently didn't want to say 'Got any dead bodies around or a murder?' because that was tempting fate just a little. "Yah, probably this," he said, bring out his card gun and shooting it into the air. The card flew high and when it reached it's apex it exploded with sparks of light. Kid turned back to the vampire then. "Another problem with that is we have no idea who what will attract. And the...guy I know from my world could possibly not want anything to do with me." They had been known to team up when they had common grounds. And being in a place that Kid, and by the broken glasses, that Conan, weren't prepared for my just be common grounds.

(Oh maybe I should pay attention more)
Mikaela only stared at him, noticing the gun fired...cards. How was that even possible? He wasn't going to ask, he had seen some pretty strange weapons back where he was from. The vampire tilted his head to one side, keeping an eye out for any signs of an approaching human. Whatever they attracted with the signal, he knew he was ready for it. He slowly pulled his sword from the sheath, running a gloved hand down the red blade as he waited. "Why might this person not want anything to do with you? Did you betray him?"

(I had to look it up. Same with Conan's city.) "What is with you and betrayal?" asked Kid. "Bad childhood or something?" He wondered if he should tell him about the fact that Conan was the detective who chased him everywhere to try and 'bring him to justice'. He doubted that Mikaela would care. But you never knew. So he simply loaded another roll of cards into the modified gun and waited. Whoever came could be Conan...or what had undermined him when he had entered. That spunky detective wouldn't lose those glasses without something happening. --- Conan stumbled through the forest, whipping a drizzle of blood from his lip. The 'flare' he'd recognized at once as one of Kid's. So, he was here as well. Conan couldn't move very fast, one leg was held gingerly. He was lucky it wasn't broken. But it was badly sprained and it hurt to put weight on it. When he'd first come...to this place...he'd ended up on the roof of the store Mikaela had found the paper in. This wouldn't have been to much of a problem, but...something black had hit him out of nowhere, overbalancing him. He'd ended up falling off the roof, crushing his glasses and twisting his leg. On top of that he was scrapped up. He'd followed a shadow back into the forest, then had lost it inside the forest. So, could Kid have had anything to do with what had happened? (Long post, but I'd wanted to show both POVs. Of course, now I have to make a form for the 'mystery black thing'. )

(xD wow you didn't need to Now that you mention it, yes you better make a form for that or I'm gunna kick out out dont) Mikaela didn't look over at Kid. Had he really been that obvious...? Yes, probably. "Why would you care about my childhood?" He asked as he searched the surroundings. So that was it, there were no signs of life at the moment. Besides that, he could tell Kid about his childhood, but he really didn't want to get into it. "You can learn all about that later, if you decide to stick-" he paused when he finally sensed something. The vampire took a few steps forward, looking back at Kid. "I think it might have worked. Someone is near."

Character name: 'Monarch' Lincoln Gilroy Screen name: mintedstar/fur OC or Cannon: OC Anime/Manga: Magic Kaito 1412 Description: A broad-shouldered man of about 23. He has long, black hair, that hangs around his shoulders. The bangs of his hair almost covers his eyes and that only strengthens the shadows under them. His eyes are a deep blue and usually undershadowed with dark circles from lack of sleep. He usually wears a black tie and a gray overcoat. He's half American and half Japanese. He was raised in Georgia (USA), but later transferred back to Japan in his teens. He was teesed for wearing glasses when he changed schools and has since then never worn them. Because of this he is very near-sighted. Personality: He's part of an unnamed and secret organization that are searching for a jewel called Pandora. He's the real enemy of Kaito Kid. He'll do anything to get what he wants, but is the smarts of the organization. He has few skills with face to face combat and is usually the one who takes care of any behind the scenes work. If he's out of the office he's out of his element. The true and lasting harm he might ever cause is if he gets anyone working for or with him. He's smart enough to be able to think of ways to get what he wants. He's a little spontaneous and will do things without thinking if it for short term things. If he has time to sit down and think, he's fine, but otherwise, he will make mistakes. Power: Age: 23 Other: Does this work?

(Sorry. XD Sorry. I got ahead of myself and realized Conan wouldn't simple fall of a roof that easily. So have a Katio's organization character. ) Kid shrugged. "I care about people. That's why. Plus, I like to think I'm mildly trustworthy." He looked around, trying to see what Mika was sensing. Conan heard the voices before he came across anyone. Kid had to have met up with someone else then. That was surprising. He wondered if it had been the person who'd thrown...whatever that thing had been...at him. He pushed a few branches aside and came to stand in view of the two boys. "I never expected to see you here," he said to Katio. Kid just gave a small smile.

(Okay yeah fair enough xD)
"Trustworthy," Mikaela muttered the words as if he had never heard of such a thing before. He shook his head, about to say something else, then his attention was stolen by a...child? So Katio's friend was the child? And this kid looked injured. "Katio, I told you someone was near," he muttered, slowly putting his sword away. This kid couldn't possibly be any harm. "How long have you been here?" He directed that question at Conan.

(*laughs* Mika knows nothing about Conan and already he thinks he's harmless. Well, Conan isn't going to like him.)
The fact that Mikaela had put away his sword when he'd seen Conan didn't slip his notice. He looked down so as not to show the slight frown that was growing on his face. "I think a few hours or so."
Kid was also frowning. At the limp that Conan had, at the small cut on his lip and the one just above his eye. At least most of the cuts seemed to have stopped bleeding. What or who could have do that? And, on top of that, how was Conan reacting to Kid being here. And where was here, to start with?

(XD oh no he's just trying his best to be friendly :'3 Conan looks like a kid which = food, not harm)
"That long? And you must have ran into someone else or something," Mikaela assumed, staring down at him for a while.If what he said was true...he should have still been able to realize someone had been in town. "And if you wouldn't mind, could you tell us what happened when you arrived? Or what you remember?"

(Still underestimating him. Conan would = harmless before he = food. ) "I fell of a building, if it's of any help. I turned up on the roof, I don't know how. The was hit by something that was flat and black, then fell off the roof. Since then I've been chasing shadows." He looked up and noticed Kid rummaging around in a pocket. Kid wasn't trying to hide the fact he was looking for something. He took out a couple of short sticks out of a pocket and then stretched them until they were longer. With a underhand toss he passed them to Conan who caught them easily. "Thanks," said Conan, though he didn't care for excepting help for the thief.

(Mika is Mika, okay xD don't judge.)
Mikaela nodded slowly, not really believing him. The stories this kid told about shadows was amusing, though he didn't show it. He just kept his straight face as he listened the whole time. "That was some story. You can really make up things on the spot." Then, he looked between the two, who claimed to know each other. "So, uh, you two are friends, correct?"
