video; Hakuba is not impressed by your fishbowl

Character: Saguru Hakuba
Fandom: Detective Conan/Magic Kaito
Player Name: Mel


[Hello Vatheon, have a soaking wet high school detective with a faintly irritable look in his face. He shoves damp bangs out of his eyes and addresses the network with as much dignity as he can currently muster up. Which is still quite a bit, considering the circumstances. He is British, after all.]

... I'm sorry, but the God of this place is a giant coral?

At least if it were a giant sea sponge it could do something about getting me dry.

[Hakuba unknots the tie around his neck and wrings it out before stuffing it in his pocket. He shrugs out of his suit jacket as well, and rolls up his sleeves.] This is quite possibly the most ridiculous kidnapping that I have ever been witness to. And that includes the one in Devon with the witch's coven.

Yes. [She has a worried frown on her face as she looks off to the corner.] It was horrible--decapitation and...so much blood...

[She pauses for a moment, as though dedicating a moment of silence to the victim, though she never knew them...She then looked to Hakuba, quickly being sure to offer him a welcoming smile.] Ah! But now you're here! I bet Shinichi would love to have your help solving the case! [Light chuckle.] With the both of you here, it's only a matter of time, right?

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

Well then, I suppose you had better show me where this body is, Mouri-san.

[He pauses as the rest of what Ran said seems to register, the faintest taint of surprise on his face.] Shinichi? Shinichi Kudo? Is he here as well, then?

[oneechan]

[Ran wrings her hands slowly.] Well, you see...I think it's already been cleaned up...it was a little over a week ago...

[Ran feels a bit of pride swell in her chest. Even a skilled detective like Hakuba-san was impressed by Shinichi.] He sure is! He just arrived a while ago! Conan-kun is here, too. But he's been asleep for a bit...

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

[Less impressed, more... interested in knowing what he's been getting up to lately, Ran. He nods in acknowledgement of her mention of Conan but doesn't quite understand what she might mean by "asleep" at this point.] A week ago... and has the scene of the crime been disturbed since?

[oneechan]

Not that I know of. It's just been cleaned up--that's pretty disturbed enough, isn't it?

[She frowns thoughtfully.] And then these letters showed up--calling it some 'April Fool's Joke'...

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

April Fools... [Slight consternation.] Could you tell me precisely what happened?
