Hello? Inspector Nakamori? Hakuba Saguru here. I was just wondering if I could have a look at that case file again, there is something about it that is bothering me...

I had not however - it was Kudo Shinichi on the line. He said at the time that he had gotten some strange calls as well, so we assumed there had been some sort of mixup at the telephone exchange.

[tuxedo_magician]

Kudo Shinichi...? Like, the Great Detective of the East Kudo Shinichi?

[ ... huh. Kaito wonders if said Kudo was before the shrinking or after. ]

[awhitehorse]

Apparently. I thought I had been redirected to you, at first - line quality, I suppose.

[ Hakuba doesn't know, he didn't ask???? ]

Why, is there something I need to know about him related to the case you mentioned?

[tuxedo_magician]

[ Ahahahah... oh shit. Kudo already knew that KID looked like him, he really didn't need the other to know he sounded like him too. Because he knows Kudo well enough to know that he would think that KID wouldn't be hiding his real voice in his daytime persona and if Hakuba had confused him for someone else...

Circumstantial when it came to Hakuba was one thing, with Kudo Shinichi, it was another. ]

No, it's just that... well, he hasn't been in the news lately and he was in it just as much as you were, if not more. It's just kinda weird that you talked to him, 's all.

[awhitehorse]

Huh, really? I had not noticed. [ BUT NOW YOU MENTION IT... ]

I suppose I will have to look into things on my end, then. Although with all this... weird time stuff, for all I know, I am messing with the future. [ AUDIBLE FROWNING ]

[tuxedo_magician]

[ It was kind of hard not to, considering that Aoko was talking about him when she saw him in the paper. Hakuba, not Kudo; not that he was jealous or anything, nope. ]

Or it could be something future you already did and not doing it now would screw things up.

[ ... and wow this is confusing. ]

[awhitehorse]

..........I am not in a Dr Who episode the last I checked, Kuroba.

[ LONG SIGH ] I suppose... the best scenario is for me to do nothing. [ CAN YOU HEAR THE PAIN THAT IS GOING TO COST HIM ] I do not wish to ... take advantage of possibly dangerous knowledge of my own future.

[tuxedo_magician]

[ Wow. You are such a nerd, Hakuba. Kaito is secretly pleased by this. ]

How do you know it's actually your future though?

[awhitehorse]

[ Look he is half British and anyone with any drop of British blood watches Dr Who okay it is like. Patriotic. Or. Something. ]

.....................................because I have to believe it is my future, because I do not wish for the confusion of multiple dimensions and alternate futures. [ SO DRY ]

/imagines Kaito buying all the DW stuff of thinkgeek now

[tuxedo_magician]

[ He totally knows what he's getting you for your birthday now. Or Christmas. Or whatever sort of gift giving holiday that wouldn't make things awkward is. ]

I... [ A pause while Kaito thinks about it. ] guess that makes sense.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[awhitehorse]

Just because I like Sherlock Holmes doesn't mean I don't read and watch other things. [ He says dryly ] I also think this is the first time we've agreed on anything all conversation.

/imagines Kaito redoing Hakuba's room in a DW theme for when he gets back

[tuxedo_magician]

Miracles can happen! Too bad we didn't record this for Aoko.

he would actually probably be secretly pleased

[awhitehorse]

I do believe she would acuse us of staging it for her benefit, if we had.

clearly this has to happen then. somehow.

[tuxedo_magician]

Which is absolutely ridiculous! Why would I pretend to get along with you?

I could post hakuba on the open doors bit... XD

[awhitehorse]

[ Hakuba raises an eyebrow at him ]

You cannot seriously be telling me that if she asked you to do so you would not, at the least, try. [ So dry ]

ahahahah. that would be awesome.

[tuxedo_magician]

Try, maybe. Although I don't know why, because she'd know if I was faking it, and then she'd beam with that stupid mop. Again.

XD when I get back, remind me

[awhitehorse]

...you and her seem to have an obsession with that mop.

I will <3

[tuxedo_magician]

Wait till she threatens you with it. Or hits you.

<3

[awhitehorse]

Aoko-chan only seems to do that with you, you realise this, yes?

[tuxedo_magician]

She does now, but if you insist on being her friend, that's what your future will bring.

[awhitehorse]

I am sure she will not. She does not do so to anyone else, after all. It is apparently only you she finds that annoying.

[tuxedo_magician]

You don't know that, Hakuba.

After all, you don't hear what she says about you when it's just the two of us hanging out~

[ Kaito is having way to much fun with this. ]

[awhitehorse]

.... [ Hakuba opens and then closes his mouth and frowns ]

You talk about me?

[ SO SUSPICIOUS ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Maybe~

[awhitehorse]

[ so suspicious ]

What about?
