Ran-neechan?  I'm going to be a little late for dinner. I'm visiting the professor right now, and I guess we lost track of time.

Comments

[spoilsfun]

Of course I haven't. [He had, three days ago.]

What museum?

[tuxedo_magician]

.... the one the old man set up to display Van Gough's Sunflowers series.

Are you sure you're all right?

[ And now you're worrying him, Conan, good job. ]

[spoilsfun]

What old man and why would the Sunflowers be in Japan?

Of course I'm all right. You're the one acting like you know me.

[tuxedo_magician]

Suzuki Jirokichi and because he bought one and wanted to display them all.

[ KID likes the old man, don't get him wrong, but sometimes he thinks the old guy is kinda crazy. ]

Because I do. We've been rivals for a long time, Meitantei.

[spoilsfun]

Never heard of him. Is he related to the Suzuki family?

I don't have any rivals.

[tuxedo_magician]

You must have gotten your head hit somewhere. Otherwise, there's no explanation as to how you don't remember any of this.

[ But that's not to say that he's not about to have a little bit of fun with this. ]

Oh? I would think to differ. No other detective has been able to keep up with me the way you do. We've been rivals ever since the Ekoda Clock Tower.

[spoilsfun]

I already told you. I don't remember you because we've never met.

[But wait. The Ekoda Clock Tower. He remembered passing by it once. Who was it that he'd stopped to help the police catch there? It was some thief... ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Oh~? So you don't remember the clock tower then, Meitantei? I would like to think you'd at least remember shooting at me.

[spoilsfun]

[He tenses.

But this was Conan from only three days after he shrank. A Conan who was still convinced that hunting down the two men who had shrank him would be a simple matter of a few weeks. He was still convinced that he would only be stuck like this for a few weeks, a month at the most.

He was nearly as panicked at being found out as his older self would have been.

He relaxes, deliberately.]

I think you have the wrong number. I've never been anywhere near Ekoda.

[And he supposed that that locked down just who this guy was. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Ah, no, I'm pretty sure I have the right one, Tantei-kun.

But I'm sure that I have your attention now, do I not?

[spoilsfun]

[Conan wasn't one to continue with a denial when it was obviously not working. ]

What do you want from me?

[tuxedo_magician]

To be honest? Nothing, other then why knowing why you've suddenly forgotten all about me.

[spoilsfun]

I haven't forgotten you. I already told you, I don't know you.

[tuxedo_magician]

What is the last thing that you remember then?

[spoilsfun]

There was a murder reported in Yoko Okino's apartment last night.

[tuxedo_magician]

That helps, considering the amount of murders you find yourself involved in.

[spoilsfun]

It was a suicide framed to look like a murder.

[tuxedo_magician]

Before April 1st?

[spoilsfun]

That's still a few months away.

[tuxedo_magician]

.... that explains it then.

[spoilsfun]

Explains what?

[tuxedo_magician]

Why you don't remember me.

[spoilsfun]

And why is that, apart from the obvious?

[tuxedo_magician]

We haven't met yet. Not formally, at any rate.

[ Totally not going into how f'ing weird this is, though. ]

[spoilsfun]

That's exactly what I've been trying to tell you.
