001 | Aoko Nakamori | [ Video ]

[hateskid]

[ Nakamori Aoko is feeling a very complex mix of emotions. She’s just been told about her powers and that she has to live here now. She hadn’t really been able to get in a word edgewise as she ushered here and there in that weird building and then just dropped her off at this weird house. It’s left her one part scared, one part confused, one part excited (because superpowers!), but mostly it just left her angry. And now she has words. ]

Aoko doesn’t care if you did give her superpowers to make up for it, Stealing is stealing and kidnapping is kidnapping. It doesn’t matter if you’re government or not because it’s still illegal to take people from their homes. [ She’s pretty sure she was at home, she’s not really sure but that doesn’t make her any less angry. ]

The law is there for everyone to follow and no one is above it, it’s disgraceful your government thinks it can just pick and choose which ones it wants to follow. Aoko has family where you took her from! They’re going to be very upset and you’ll be very sorry.

[ She glares darkly at the device before continuing on, she’s not lecturing the people that brought her here yet. ]

And you can’t just drop people off at weird buildings with strangers and expect everything to be okay! They seem nice-and Aoko doesn’t have anything against them but you probably didn’t warn them either and that’s just rude.

If you brought Aoko here to help you should have just asked! Jeez! She Probably would have said yes. But you’ll never know, because you didn’t! [ And with an irritated huff, she cuts the feed ]

[Video]; ID reads Kaito Kuroba

[tuxedo_magician]

[Don't mind him, he's just checking today's feed. Considering all the crazy stuff that's happened around here, he's got people he's keeping an eye out for.

So he scrolls through, humming to himself, before he stops.

Is that---

Oh, shit.

So startled is he, he accidentally flips the switch to video instead of the voice feature he's so prone to using. Mostly so that Conan couldn't put a face to his name, but whatever.

So there's this familiar face popping up, his eyes wide and hair spiky as usual.]

AOKO?!?!

[ video ]

[hateskid]

[ !! ]

KAITO!

[ His is exactly the face she wanted to see, there might even be some tears at the edges of her eyes because yeah, she was scared and now that Kaito is there she feels like she doesn't have to put on that much of a brave face. ]

Kaito, where are you? Aoko wants to meet up with you.

[tuxedo_magician]

I'm in Maurtia Falls. Where did they leave you?

[He's already making plans on going to see her, wherever she's at. At least he doesn't have a show tonight, Aoko is more important of course and he would always cancel to see her, but he hates leaving his fans disappointed.]

[hateskid]

U-um-um... Aoko remembers them calling it... Heropa?

[tuxedo_magician]

[SERIOUSLY?! She got dropped near the pipsqueak?]

... man. They couldn't put you any farther away could they?

[He sighs.]

All right, let me call work and tell them that I won't be in to do my show for a couple of days and then I'll head down there.

[hateskid]

Eh?!

Kaito is really that far away? If it's really like that, Aoko can come to Kaito. [ Maybe. As soon as she figures out how. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

It's in Pennsylvania, so it'll take me at least a few hours to get down to Florida.

[He shakes his head.]

I've been here for a few months, Aoko, I know how to get around. I wouldn't want you to go out and get into trouble.

[Audio]

[hands4healing]

[Aoko, Aoko, why does that sound familiar?]

Ah...are you friends with someone named Kaito?

[Did you hit him with a mop?]

: [Audio]

[hateskid]

Um-Yes! Kaito is Aoko's best friend. [ The fact that she's not referring to him as her idiot best friend really says a lot about how she feels about all this. ]

[ And yes. Yes she did. ]

[Audio]

[hands4healing]

[Winry's pretty sure Kaito said she reminded him of Aoko. She wasn't sure how to take it.]

I'm a friend...acquaintance...of Kaito's. I'm Winry Rockbell.

[Audio]

[hateskid]

Oh! It's nice to meet you, I'm Nakamori Aoko.

[Audio]

[hands4healing]

It's nice to meet you, too!

Is Kaito coming to see you? Do you need anything?

[Audio]

[hateskid]

Mm! Kaito said he would come see me. I think he's on his way.

[eastdetective]

[It is Aoko's appearance that catches Conan's attention once. From the moment she starts speaking he knows that it isn't Ran. But that she should look so very similar...]

I don't think that the government here listens to any of us very much.

[Video]

[hateskid]

Well they should. [ She huffs in irritation but then recognition sets in as the stares at the small child on her feed. ]

Ano... You wouldn't perhaps be Edogawa Conan-kun, would you?

Re: [Video]

[eastdetective]

That's right! [He puts on his best innocently curious expression. ]How did you know?

[Video]

[hateskid]

[ Aaaah! He's so cute! ]

I'm Nakamori Aoko, my dad is the head of the Kaitou Kid taskforce. Aoko's very excited to meet you!

Re: [Video]

[eastdetective]

[Well, now. This was very interesting.]

Nice to meet you! Its been a long time since anyone from home showed up here. Not since Heiji-niichan.

Ah, you do know Kid is here too?

[Video]

[hateskid]

[ Why would you tell her that, Conan? Why? ]

Every redeeming quality this place had means nothing now.

Ne, Conan-kun, you've met Hakuba-kun before right? Do you know if he's here?

[The text is going to pop up on Aoko's screen a few minutes after she cuts the feed. The picture is of a sunflower-haired kid that looks like a fox, and the ID reads: Fleetfoot.]

Yeah, I said it was like kidnapping, too, when I first got here. So I totally sympathise with you there, pretty miss.

But at the same time, I think it's a little bit counter-acted with the whole 'you get to be a superhero' now thing. But maybe that's just me.

[hateskid]

[ Being completely unsure how to react to the compliment she completely ignores it. ]

If we're not allowed to go home then it's still kidnapping.

Aoko's dad is the head of division two, so she's been trained exactly what to do in kidnapping situations.

text

[nagachika]

[You should accept it with gusto, it won't be the first time he compliments you.]

Is that right? A head of a whole division. Is this a police thing, or maybe a detective agency?

And you'll be going up against an entire government, too, so. I hope this training is effective. Otherwise you might have trouble.

[hateskid]

[ Just watch out for potentially jealous magicians ]

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police department. But Aoko has a friend that's a detective.

But I'm not sure, if it's the government then they'd probably be able to recognise it, I'm sure some of their workers are bound to have families too.

[nagachika]

[His innocent rabbit heart will be able to take it.]

You from Tokyo too, huh? Nice to meet a fellow local, I'm from there too.
But there's one thing I think that you're missing from your little welcome to the place you've been kidnapped to:

We're not in a place that's close to home. I mean. This place is similar. But from what I've gathered, the time is a little different and your Tokyo and the Tokyo here:

Two different places.

[hateskid]

Two different places? How do you mean?
