Mikaela stopped walking, taking in the view of the broken fountain, then looked at Conan. "Yes, I'd like to see you try that," the vampire replied with a slight grin. He crossed his arms with a sigh. "If you need any help, you just have to ask." He really didn't believe he was able to do anything like that. He didn't even look like he had anything that could be of use to him.

"Thanks for the offer," said Conan, reaching for his sneakers. He turned a diel on the side then stood up. Fumbling with his belt he pushed a button and a soccer ball seemed to explode out of it. The hiss of air as the ball blew up to the regular size was cut off as Conan kicked the ball. It flew at the statue so fast it was a blur. The statue practically exploded and the ball bounce a few feet away from Conan before the air came out of it again. Looking up at the vampire, Conan grinned. "But I don't think I'll need it."

Kuragehime (Yeah same here.) Shiro only nodded her head and continued to eat as Sora began pacing. "It would be great to have you! Say, you don't look human," the older teen paused, looking over at Hozuki, "do you have any special abilities that might be able to help us out in this world? You see, my sis and I are just sit-at-home gamers; well we used to be, and we don't have any special abilities. My sis is extremely smart, though!" "Hozuki is super strong!!" the dog blurted out. "In the Underworld, if someone's being bad, Hozuki just goes POW! and sends them flying with that spiky thing! He's so cool!" Hozuki cleared his throat before speaking. "That's enough, Shiro. That's just doing my duties. As my colleague mentioned, I do have superior strength than most humans. I have also studied medicine for most of my life, so I am well versed when it comes to plants and their preparation."

mintedstar/furMikaela stared at the statue, even after it wasn't finished crashing to the ground. "Wow, that was pretty impressive," he admitted, finally looking over st Conan. "I guess you will be able to defend yourself, if that is ever needed." He took a few steps toward the deflated ball and picked it up and it looked like he was examining it. "How did you do that?" -- KuragehimeSora blinked, looking over at the club Hozuki was carrying. "If what Shiro is saying is true, then that's awesome! I would like to see you do that if it's ever needed," he said, giving him a thumbs up. Human Shiro just stared at dog Shiro, eventually gesturing him over. "Does Shiro like berries?" She asked, holding out a few in her hands.

"A friend of mine made it," said Conan, holding out his hand for the deflated ball. "I can only stay blown up for a couple of minutes, but if I wanted to, I could blow it up to fill this whole courtyard." He was glad he'd finally shown the vampire that he wasn't a helpless child. "I have a few other tricks that he made, too." Like the sleeping dart, the suspenders, and the glasses which he'd given to Kid. All in all, he had things he could use, but he had already damaged a lot of them when he came here. And he didn't have the skateboard either. Conan frowned. This place had reduced his abilities drastically. (Hey, Kuragehime and broken, would it be alright if I dropped Kid into your plot? It's okay if not. )

(Oh no, that would be fine by me :3)
Mikaela stared at it for a few more seconds, then eventually handed the deflated ball back to him. "That's interesting. I didn't know humans would be so efficient with their tricks," he mumbled, then looked back at the statue. "And this friend of yours, he wouldn't happen to be here, would he?" The vampire continued through the small clearing, still looking in ever storefront they passed.

Ciel glanced back at her, shaking his head. "No, I have yet to eat anything. I dont know where to look," the boy muttered simply, then cotinued to walk through the destroyed town. "Ah my butler, I don't know where he ran off to. He was gone when I woke up. The three of you haven't seen him, have you?"

(I find it disturbing that Ciel thinks Sabastian is running around somewhere. )
"His name wasn't in the death book," said Conan. "And I don't think he'd do very good in this situation. I'm not sure what he'd be able to do anyway." He fitted the deflated ball back into the belt. It wasn't damaged. But he hoped that another demonstration wasn't in the near future. Because he wondered how long the ball would last.

(Really but why exactly? ) "Oh the death book...speaking of which...," Mikaela blinked a few times, checking the inside of his cloak. Where had he put it? Did Kid even hand it back or did he keep it? He looked down at Conan. "You don't happen to have the book on you, right?"

(Because he has no protection now and I'm tempted to send Monarch after your group. ) Conan reached frowned, trying to remember the last time he'd seen the book. Then he remembered he had ended up with it. He reached in his short's pocket and found the book. "Here," he said. He held it out to Mika. "Did you want to look something up?" he asked.

(Oh no you should do it, but there's still Miroka and her two weapons)
Mikaela took the book with a soft sigh, flipping to the very end of the book. "I wanted to look at something," he said as he started to scan the names. "Maybe this could help us look for whoever else is in this world. It's not much information." He looked down at Conan as if asking his opinion.

(I don't know how long Monarch would last against a couple of weapons. XD All he has is a broken laptop (read: very broken after throwing it at Conan). But I'll see what happens. ) "Not much information at all," said Conan. "It gives us an idea about how many people are in this world. But I don't see how we could see find someone based only on their names." He had been on high alert ever since he'd seen Rin. But he hadn't heard or seen anyone.

(Omg who throws a laptop at someone X3)
"Well it does look like there are quite a few people here," Mikaela added, pointing to a few of the unknown names. "It's not much, but I thought it might help. Do you think that girl could be lying? I haven't sensed anyone around here yet." The vampire closed the book, shaking his head as he eventually stopped walking again.

(Monarch does. Obviously. ) "She didn't sound like she was lying," said Conan, who thought he was rather good at telling when someone wasn't being truthful. "I don't know if there is a way to tell unless we run into someone else." He wished he had had an extra Junior Detective badge to give to Kid. Then he'd be able to tell if the Phantom Thief had run into anyone. Monarch was rather ruffled at this point. Conan had chased him around the forest and he had realized that he hadn't really done much damage. But now he was suck who knows where. The edge of the city was a few feet away and the forest was reaching into it with grasping branches. Which way should he go? (Which way is a group? )

(XD oh and they're in like an alley near the edge of town.)
Mikaela sighed and stared at the book a moment longer before putting it away again. "That's right, you're the 'great detective' right, well from what I've heard so far. You must deal with things like this often," he muttered, then looked skyward, searching the top of the buildings. "If we keep going forward, we'll be heading deeper into the city."

Hozuki nodded. "Of course. If it is needed, I will not hesitate," he said. He had always been a firm believer in getting things done as quickly and efficiently as possible, using anything he could think of as motivation.
Shiro trotted over to the girl and nodded. "I like berries!" he barked, tail wagging as he spoke. He gave the berries in her hand a sniff before sitting back, holding his mouth wide open.

He frowned, wondering if there was any way he could find someone in this town. Could he use anything he had? "I think that heading deeper into the city would be best. We could at least find some place to sleep." And I wonder if there is any chance Rin has contacted any of the other groups.

KuragehimeSora nodded and smiled as he noticed how the other two were getting along. "Ah, and make yourself at home...as best as you can." Shiro tilted her head to one side, then tossed a few berries at the dog. -- mintedstar/furMikaela looked down at him once more before looking away again. "I wouldn't say I was doubting you," he shrugged and continued forward. "Then, we will continue farther into the city. I hope if we run into anyone, they will believe us when we explain things to them. And who knows maybe that girl will make another appearance."

Conan nodded. "I think we'll see her again. Her type can't help but turning up every now and again to keep the game going." He started walking again, scanning the sky. "I think that Kid sees something of himself in her. He plays games like that, but not on such a large scale." Then again, thought Conan. He's never had a whole world to play around with.
Kid flew in a circle around the outskirts of town. He was losing altitude again. This had been his third time launching off a high building and he was starting to feel exposed. Had Rin really been telling the truth about other groups in town? Maybe they had all found somewhere to spend the night. He cycled down and landed on the branches of a tree. The tree shook at the added weight. Kid sighed and brought out the detective's glasses. The dot that was Conan had moved around since the last time he'd checked. He looked to be around the place the cloak tower was. Kid pocketed the glasses again and contemplated sending off a flare. It had attracted Conan that first time. But he decided against it. He was exposed enough and if most of the groups had already taken shelter then they couldn't see the flare. Plus, those things wouldn't last forever. Kid was painfully aware that if he was stuck here to long nearly everything he'd brought into this world would slowly get used up or broken. And there wasn't a way to fix them.

"Really? I know a little bit about what Kid can do, but I didn't realize he sees himself in Rin. So he's just as annoying? That's good to know," Mikaela muttered, quickening the pace a little bit as he headed out f the clearing with the fountain and toward more of the tangled streets.
Shiro blinked, about to throw more berries at the dog, but then she heard the rustling of leaves from farther in the forest. She stood up from the rock she had been sitting on, looking in that direction. "Someone is here," she announced softly, not believing that it was any animal that lived here. She hadn't even seen any from the short amount of time she's been here.

"Yes..." said Conan. "Very annoying." He followed Mika, wishing for his solar powered skateboard. "So, why is there a war going on in your world?" He asked the question with no thought to Mika's feelings. After all, the vampire had already expressed that he didn't want to share with humans. But Conan had rarely let others feelings stop him from asking.
Kid stretched, wondering if he should call it a day. He hadn't found anyone yet. Maybe he wouldn't today. He was supposed to be meeting Conan and Mikaela back at the bookstore at midnight, group or not. He should find someplace to sleep until then. He pushed the button that would activate his hang-glider and the cloth made a 'woof' sound as it unfolded. The quite noise that Shiro had made went unnoticed to him or he passed it off as the sound of the breeze. "Well, now," he said to himself. "Which way next?" He looked off into the distance, judging which way would be the best.

Mikaela didn't look back at Conan, just kept walking as he asked that question. He was used to it by now, there was always someone back in his world who constantly bugs him about it. “A war between vampires and humans, caused by the vampires. They destroyed Japan and took children in as their livestock- my friends and I were part of that group,” he eventually looked back at him, wondering if that would satisfy him or if he should continue. “We tried to escape. All my friends dids but one- he managed to escape and I've been looking for him ever since.”
Shiro looked back at the others, who were still in conversation. They must not have heard her or even cared. The young girl looked in the direction of the noise again before silently sneaking out of their makeshift camp. If the group wanted to follow her, she wouldn't mind. Making as little noise as possible, she took hiding behind a tree, leaning to one side to look at whoever was in front of her. She bent down, picking up a small stone before tossing it at the person. She remained close to the ground, watching for their reaction.

This stratified Conan for now. He walked on in silence for a little before he pointed to a road. "This one seems in better condition then the others. I think that it might be a possibility that others would want to follow this road because it would be easier then the broken side streets we've been walking."
The stone hit Katio in the shoulder. He winced and folded up the hang-glider again as he turned. He figured it would be easier to face any attackers without the wind catching his glider. He could always unfold it again if he needed a quick get-away. He looked, but didn't see Shiro close to the ground. Be there was no way he was passing of the pain in his arm as his imagination. He continued to scan the surrounding area, looking. "Come out!" he shouted into the trees. He brought out his card gun, even though it could do no damage to anyone. "Come out or I leave."

Mikaela was glad this had satisfied him; he really didn't have anything else to say about it. The vampire looked around where they were walking and nodded. "Yes, I think that, too. Lets just hope we can actually find someone," he muttered, looking up at the sky. The sun was starting to go down, so they had to finish this soon.
From where she was hiding, the little girl had a clear view of Katio, well enough to even see the card gun he was holding. Though, it looked like it was an actual gun. She quickly scanned the clearing to find an escape route if something were to happen, plus if he were to fire the gun at her, she was pretty confident she would be able to dodge it- she had done so before. Finally, Shiro stood up, brushing off her skirt and adjusting her crown as she came out of hiding, saying nothing at all for a moment. She eventually gave a thumbs up with a straight face, "that was a good throw, huh?"

(Sorry for late reply.) Conan nodded and started walking down the new road. "We may just have to meet up with Kid without finding anyone. Most of the other people here have probably just come to this world, like us. They may not have reached this city yet." Were there other cities? Conan wondered. And if so, would they hold other people as well? "Did you notice if anyone else from your world was here?" asked Conan. "Does the death book have any names you know?"
Kid smiled and lowered the card gun. "So there really are other people here," he said. "I was beginning to think that I'd never find anyone." He studied the girl. He looked her up and down, trying to judge age and where she came from. "I'm called the Kaitou Kid," he said. He waited, hoped, to see some recognition in the girl's eyes.

(dont worry it's fine)
"This is our first day . We can always search again tomorrow if we can't find someone. We could even leave notes or something for them. Though whoever finds it would probably be reluctant to listen," Mikaela muttered, still not sensing anyone nearby. "And as for the death book, no, none of the other names were familiar. I doubt anyone else from my world would appear."
The eleven year old blinked, studying him herself. He looked interesting...he reminded her of someone who must be a big dea or maybe it was just cosplayl. "Shiro," she replied simply with her name, watching him carefully, especially his gun. "Of course there are others here. The rest of the group is back at camp." She pointed over her shoulder.

Conan really wished there was a way that he wouldn't have to spend the night here. He wished this was all a dream. But he had known for a long time that they would be stuck here. It was just part of the game Rin was probably playing. Next time she turns up, thought Conan. I'm hitting her with my soccer ball.
"Ah, you've been here long enough to set up a camp," said Katio, processing the information. He noticed Shiro looking at his gun and he smiled. "It doesn't shoot bullets. It's a trick gun. I use it for signal flares sometimes, but never for anything deadly." He put the card gun away and dropped, cat-like and with limber muscles, landing in a crouch. Standing, Kid tilted his hat in a small bow. "Might I be of any service?"

Mikaela looked down at Conan. It was obvious he was thinking or probably planning something. He didn't ask, though. He glanced around slowly. "No one is currently here, but someone has passed through her resently- maybe a day or two ago. And about three or four people, to be exact."
Shiro nodded slowly, tilting her head to one side slightly as she watched him. "That's good to know," she said bluntly, then took a step back as she thought for a moment. How could he possibly help? "Uh the group was actually looking for a city to stay in, but Kid probably hasn't seen a city, hm? The group needs help with that and also the group wants to know where this place is."
