Who: Conan and others
Where: Various
When: Imagination 26 to Jelly 5
What: Secrets have been revealed and talks need to happen. Also a general catchall for Late Imagination/Early Jelly

1. Imagination 26 
The day after the Winter Fair, Conan was up early with a long list of things to get done. His world had suddenly changed. Again. And that meant that there were some conversations that needed to happen and some plans that needed to be made.

He seeks out Haibara first. Then Sera. Then Jounouchi to return the clothes he'd borrowed. And after all of that was done? He needed to make the rounds of the people who were in on his secret. He needed to check in with Ran.

And he needed to plan. Vermouth was still here, after all.
 

2. Late Imagination and Early Jelly

For the first time ever, Conan does not go out onto the platform to meet the new arrivals. The drama of the confrontation with Ran and the lingering worries about such a massive change in his life had been more than enough distraction. He spends the first few days afterwards trying to give Ran space to process everything. He spends a lot of time in the library re-reading through the mystery section. Afternoons, he can be found in the gym working out his thoughts by kicking a soccerball against the wall.

At night? Well, he hadn't exactly been sleeping well before this. And now that Ran knew.... Well, there wasn't any reason to try and conceal his insomnia any more. In the early hours of the morning it isn't unusual to find him wandering in the direction of the kitchen or the library.

I won’t attack her on suspicion alone, if that’s what you’re saying.

[It’s a moment later that the actual implications hit. Masumi can’t attack Vermouth while on the train - unless Vermouth is on the train as well.]

...Are you saying she’s on this train right now?

[There’s no response to the info about the other members due to the focus on Vermouth and where exactly she is.]

[deductiongeek]

[ He sighs and nods. ]

She's going by Sharon Vineyard. You may have met.

[Sharon Vineyard. This knowledge casts all of Masumi’s interactions with her in a more suspicious light, as she thinks back to when they’d spoken before.]

Yes, I’ve met her. We spoke when she was cleaning my sleeper cabin, and when she visited Medical after the last mission. I think I might have given her the cover story for what happened to my mom, which involved me claiming she’s alive in the States.

[That’s not good if she is the culprit, since that would mean she may have tipped her off. Still, she’s trying to not panic at the thought of Vermouth knowing the cover story.]

[deductiongeek]

"I don't think she'll do anything with the information for now," he says sourly."I've talked to her, and with the situation as it is I don't think she'll try anything unless it benefits her. But if shes gained any information that way, its not a good situation."

[tactlesstantei]

If it was her, she can’t do much with that info as long as she’s here and away from our world.

[She’d worry more about it if/when Vermouth went back home, or if the train went and grabbed her mom, but that’s not something Masumi can do much about if it does happen.

In the meantime, she tries to calm herself down before continuing, knowing she just agreed to not attack Vermouth on suspicion alone.]

For now I’ll try and figure out if she did it or not, since she’s our one suspect. I’d also like to ask if you’ll tell me if any other organization members show up, just in case.

[She can’t help unless she’s in the loop.]
