[ This was certainly not meant for the general public. ]

Made it back to Vegas! I'll be staying with my friend for a while longer, you're invited to come visit when you get some time off school!

[Conan the younger was starting to get the hang of this. ]

Wrong number.

[kaitou_mom]

Oh! I'm sorry!

The same thing happened to someone else just a few days ago. I hope I didn't interrupt anything.

[spoilsfun]

No, nothing important. Just some kids from school who were bothering me about something.

[kaitou_mom]

They probably just want to make friends. You should always be willing to make friends.

[spoilsfun]

I really doubt that was what they wanted.

[They were probably looking for help with homework or something. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

There's supposed to be a break coming up soon. I can take care of the other stuff and make it, I think.

[kaitou_mom]

Wonderful! My friend's very excited to meet you. I've told them all about you♥

[ Just, you know, not about the moonlight escapades. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Mooooooooom.

Which stories did you tell her?!

[kaitou_mom]

You're my son. What stories do you think I would tell?

[tuxedo_magician]

The embarrassing ones.

[stealsyourheart]

You know, this is the weirdest glitch of all time, but it's kinda nice to hear your voice again so I'mma take it. And I can't come, mom, I'm stuck in another world?

[kaitou_mom]

You'll have to come up with something better than that, I'll think you just don't want to meet my friend.

[stealsyourheart]

Well I don't even know who this friend is, but uh... no I really am stuck in another world.

[kaitou_mom]

Even if you are telling the truth, I still feel like you don't want to meet mommy's friend.

[stealsyourheart]

Well I don't know anything about this friend, do I? The two of you'll probably just sit there and coo at me, and I'm really too old for the baby pics mom.

[This is the voice of someone who is exhausted and sick of this conversation before it's even started, but the most notable thing is he sounds older than he should.]

I already told you, ma, I'm not enrolling into college. It's just a waste of time.

[kaitou_mom]

[ That doesn't sound like the seventeen year old loser young-man she raised. It does-but he doesn't sound seventeen. ]

I never said anything about college. I want you to meet my friend.

[aviatophile]

You said when I have time off school. I'm not in school anymore.

[There's a fwump as he plops down onto a lumpy couch and hikes his legs up over the back]

I can see if Jii can make me up a new passport though?

[kaitou_mom]

You know how important your education is.

[ Why wouldn't he be in school anymore, what's happened to her son? ]

[aviatophile]

Yeah yeah, we've been over this.

[It's not quite a defeated sigh, but close. His chest hurts today, and arguing about something he has no control over doesn't help.]

Who's your friend?

[nightbaroness]

[ this is..... ]

You're... you're in Vegas?

[ she hasn't heard from you in years what... what...? ]

[kaitou_mom]

[ W H O O P S ]

[ This is definitely NOT her son. She's somehow accidentally called her sister. How did she manage that? Should she just hang up? She hasn't spoken with her sister in years. ]

Yes. I've been staying here off and on since my husband died.

[nightbaroness]

[ just... what does she say? it's really been too long since she's spoken with her sister ... ]

I.. I see. Are you enjoying it?

[kaitou_mom]

Of course.

I've become quite a fan Kaitou Corbeau♥

His tricks are almost as good as my late husbands-though of course nothing can compare.

[ Aside from maybe her son. Someday. ]

...Where have you been staying?

[nightbaroness]

[ late-husband... just how much of her sister's life has she missed? ]

It sounds like it's been a fantastic time! I hope you continue to enjoy yourself while you're there ♥

[ as for her ... ]

I had just finished a trip to Paris. I'm back in New York now.
