On a possible return to Mask or Menace

[eastdetective]

 No. You can stop all that planning right now.

Do I really need to go over all the reasons this is a terrible idea?

They're sending you more places, huh.

[eastdetective]

Back to the superhero game. With different powers, no memories of the first time, and a war starting.

[wizard_redfive]

Oh boy.

[Dairine wouldn't mind the superhero part, but no memories of his last trip and a big conflict just beginning? That wasn't good.]

What powers are they giving you this time?

[eastdetective]

Soccerball summoning and physics manupulation. Apparently.

[wizard_redfive]

Sounds fun. And pretty useful.

[eastdetective]

But the last time I was there I could change my age.

[He was going to miss having that. Even if it had only been temporary. ]

[wizard_redfive]

Ahh... [That explains his disappointment.]

Would that really be a good idea though? People might ask questions if you suddenly appeared older.

[eastdetective]

That was why everything got so complicated there the first time.

[But even with all of that. Still. It had been a way to be himself for a short time. ]

[wizard_redfive]

I can imagine.

Of course, with a war going on things might get complicated again.

[tuxedo_magician]

Tantei-kun!

[Someone is certainly happy to see you.]

[eastdetective]

When are you ever that happy to see me?

[tuxedo_magician]

What? A thief can't be happy to see his rival?

[eastdetective]

Not that happy. What's going on over there?

[He was so suspicious. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Ah... well. The Russians kidnapped a bunch of imPorts.

[You'd be so proud of him, Tantei-kun, he was actually thinking like a detective during his captivity.]

[eastdetective]

...What?

Why? How many imports? What is their aim?

[tuxedo_magician]

Over 50 that I counted.

As for their aim, well... it's not like they're just going to tell us. If anything, all they seem to be doing right now is holding us in substandard conditions.

[Seriously. Their bathroom was a back room with some buckets.]

seriously, he leaves for a few months and this happens

[eastdetective]

You said us. Does that mean...

[Conan hadn't missed that detail. ]

this is what happens you guys leave Kaito alone

[tuxedo_magician]

It does. For me, at least. Your friend is fine and knowing him, probably annoyed.

[He figured you would, Tantei-kun, that's why he added it.]

jsyk Conan is fully expecting Kaito to have rescued himself by the time he gets there

[eastdetective]

That doesn't surprise me.

[If there was one major difference in their methodologies, it was that Hattori had a way of taking cases more personally. Which wasn't to say that Conan didn't take cases personally, but that he followed Holmes in believing that it was best to keep a sense of detachment to keep any personal feelings from influencing his judgement.]

Have you found a way out yet?

He's touched you have so much faith in him, Tantei-kun

[tuxedo_magician]

Hah.

[Well, it also helped that he and Hattori were friends now. Sort of. In a really weird way which wasn't 'bad' just 'strange'.]

No yet. They took our communicators and dampened our abilities. [Not that that entire mattered to KID, but they also took all his fun supplies too.] I've managed to figure out, however, that where they say they're keeping us isn't actually where they are keeping us.

he just expects his rival to be competent, that's all

[eastdetective]

Any other clues?

he's feels special. Really.

[tuxedo_magician]

They told us that they had us on a space shuttle. If that's the truth, then we're still on Earth, since Zero Gravity is not a thing we're experiencing. One of the guards started guard duty with his pants wet, so we had to be in a place wherein it recently rained. And when they moved us, it felt as if it was on a train or something similar.

Also, considering it's the Russians, I doubt we are still in America.
