Dear Mun,

We've been through this before. Several times. You cannot use me to enable Sherlock Holmes. As honored as I would be I don't think it's likely.

In the meantime; you have some observations to write up, some polishing to do on my journal notes, and some more investigations for me to work on.

You have the whole weekend off. You have no excuses.

[1_truth]

No, not really. I just wondered if you had, had the misfortune to meet him. He's harmless but a real pain in the ass.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Ah. Friend of yours?

[The description sounds like someone Conan would attract.]

[1_truth]

Not exactly. More of a rival I can get along with for short periods of time. He's internationally wanted jewel thief-a thief that apparently looks disturbingly similar to me, as it were.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I see...

[Sherlock chuckles.]

Your evil twin?

[1_truth]

[ Conan's lips twitch in a slightly amused smile. ]

Hm. Maybe.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

An alias?

[1_truth]

A-alias?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Oh, no. Unless you have many aliases, I do believe it is "an alias".

[1_truth]

Oi. I have enough trouble keeping track of just the one alias, thanks. I wouldn't waste my time showing off cheap parlor tricks to an audience that condones what a waste of tax dollars Kid heists are.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock looks... confused.]

What are you on about? I was simply correcting your misuse of the English language. Which they seem to fail to teach these days...

[1_truth]

...Oh. [ Silence. ]

That isn't my fault. I kind of found myself sixteen going on seven and English is class you take in Highschool-at least in Japan it is.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

But someone as smart as you.... surely you would learn rather quickly and well, just because you're seven doesn't mean you've forgotten everything you've learned.

[Sherlock can teach him... will teach him.]

[1_truth]

No, In fact, I still retain all my memories from before I shrank. But English isn't my first language.

Besides. [ Going back to think over the conversation up to the point he had his English corrected then. ] I think you may have misunderstood- when I repeated the word 'Alias' I was curious as to why you'd suggest that. So it sounded like 'A Alias.'

Blame the mun for not interpreting the stutter properly!

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Ah, my apologies, then.

[He mentally backs the conversation up.]

Yes. We were talking about someone who looks a lot like you, only who seems to commit crimes. At first I mentioned "Evil Twin" but then I started to wonder if the name was simply an alias that you use in order to do things that are less than... acceptable.

/pats It's okay >:

[1_truth]

Ah. Well then, no. I have much better things to do with my time than dance around on rooftops in a white tuxedo.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock tilts his head.]

You sure?

[Because, well, he's been known to don a disguise or two.]

[1_truth]

Positive. Kid likes to make everything public. I'm in a position where that would endanger everyone I know.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

The art of disguise is knowing how to hide in plain sight.

[Which, in Sherlock's mind explains everything and Conan has offered no proof that this look-a-like is a different person.]

[1_truth]

Yeah, true enough. But what you're thinking can't be true because Kid is about a hundred-seventy-two centimeters tall while I am roughly hundred and one centimeters tall.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock shrugs.]

And you have said that you've been taking drugs to age you back up... how tall are you when you are in your proper age?

[Basically, Conan, your height argument proves nothing, yet.]

[1_truth]

[ There is some real irritation as he admits this. Because damn that thief. Being taller than him! ]

...A hundred-seventy centimeters...

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock raises an eyebrow. 2 centimeters could be corrected... with a pair of shoes. But he doesn't push the issue.]

Okay... so is this troublemaker in that neighborhood you're so desperate for me to go clean up?

[1_truth]

Tch. Kaitou Kid is the last thing I'd need help with. In fact, his disguise techniques have come in handy a few times.


...I almost wish he were stuck in Mayfield if only because he's an expert at escaping and his ability to disguise as anyone of his choosing would be a great asset.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Disguises are overrated.

[Mostly because if you know how to hide in plain sight, they're not needed.]

I was getting the impression that you didn't like him and now you're saying he'd be an asset?

[Color Sherlock confused.]

Mayfield Apps Open tonight! \o/

[1_truth]

I don't like him. [ said flatly ] But I can't deny that he does have a pretty useful skill set-You'd probably have to meet him to understand my feelings towards him.


((ooc: Also. I apologize for lateness. Independence Day happened and with it came family.))
