Reading Time

 Who: Conan and Anyone
What: Conan finally has a book and he just wants to read it. Now if only people would let him....
When: Bassoon 18
Where: Standard Coach

With all the excitement of the new arrivals over with, Conan finally had time to take a look at the book he'd ordered from the shop. He finds a quiet chair in the coach and opens the massive book to the first page.

Conan told him he was going to go read. Now if they were back home, Heiji knew exactly what this meant- gtfo I'm busy and needing to be alone. Here though, 'go borrow a random book from one of your friends and come join me'. Okay, well, Heiji actually knew it was the first one still, but he had something on his mind and was pretty sure it wouldn't be too long before he needed to talk to Conan about it.

Either way, it meant, here comes Heiji to sit across from Conan and he opened the book he borrowed. He was quiet for a while, before he peeked over his book at Conan. "So.. why haven't you ever caught Kid? We both know you're smart enough to."

Heiji sighs. He can't tell Conan this, he can't tell Kaito that. "Does it really make any difference when we're stuck on a train in the void?" He asked, because Kaito about had a fit over the idea they just talk this out like rational human beings. "Ever wonder why he's doing it? All the stealing the jewels only return them for? It can't just be for the media hype, can it?"

Although now that he says that, how many of their cases had at least that thin of motives if not less and someone wound up dead. "Seems pointless to me." He said and looked out the window for a few moments, with a heavy sigh. Honestly, everything seemed pretty pointless right about now. How cared who was the best detective in Japan when there wasn't a Japan? Even the ultimate goal of the truth seemed difficult when one truth for one world might be something, but completely different in another one.

He missed Kazuha.

Heiji doesn't argue, but he's not convinced they won't be. How did they get here in the first place? There were magic, demons, and god-only-knew what else in this multiverse. Why would they care if a bunch of kids- or adults, he shouldn't be selfish- could go home?

He should've known that Conan had figured out Kid wasn't just stealing for the fame. Honestly, he knew that too, he just hadn't had enough information to determine what. He never would've thought it would've been to avenge his father though.

"Hmm?" He turned his gaze from outside and the strange lights to see Conan eyeing him. His dark complexion got a little darker at that. "Well.. I had my suspicions for a while now.. I just.." His frown deepened and he decided he was focusing on the wrong part of that anyway. "I don't know." At least that part was honest. He wasn't sure, but he couldn't deny the feeling of being off.

Kaito does him the favor of leaving him alone until he gets to the very last chapter before he sets off the smoke bomb he's managed to cobble together with help.

"Hm. That's less impressive than hoped."

It sputters a bit and spews a small tired amount of blue smoke.

"May I borrow that when you're finished?"

Books. Video games are diverting, but they haven't got a patch on books. Joss has been starved for reading material in the weeks since he's been here, and seeing a fellow kid with a massive tome has ignited a sense of extreme jealousy. He wants a book.

"I'm desperate for something to read."

"The timing of it is off too. Besides, you'd get suspicious if I didn't annoy you from time to time."

He kneels and pokes through the debris.

Just passing through...

The train was absolutely closer quarters than Titans Tower, and Raven dreaded when they might get even more people. For now, her favorite place was one of the quiet rooms. But she did feel guilty monopolizing one of them entirely. Which meant finding other quieter places...

Passing through one of the quieter cars, she raised an eyebrow under her cowl. No wonder Mr. Stark and others were worried, as the young boy reading seemed younger than the others. More importantly though, he was reading. A BIG book too.

So, with an awkward throat clearing, she approached. Also a soft "...I'm sorry, but may I ask a question?"

It shouldn't be a surprise that Conan nails him on the exact reason he was struggling here. It was embarrassing how easy it likely was- but then again, who wouldn't be having a hard time here?

"How? How are we going to get home? How will anything make sense again when even truth isn't absolute? A truth in our world isn't a truth in someone else's. Magic and monsters and who knows what are all real and dictating what we do! How do you make sense of all of that?"
azrthmtrnznthos: (....really?)

She really is sorry for interrupting. "I...just wondered if, when you're finished with the book, I could borrow it?" Awkward, and kind of hunched in her cloak, cowl up. "I'm one of the new arrivals."

"Anything to see if I can work out why it failed. Hm. The wall might be a bit too thick I think....

Say. You know him better than I do. Is Hattori-kun ok?"

"Who else am I supposed to test em on? You saw how Skywalker-san reacted!"

He makes a face.

"Yeah? I did think he wasn't quite himself. I'll try and keep him distracted, and you can do the friend thing."

Ooh, touchy. Joscelin was actually being nice, for once, so he's a little perplexed by the hostility.

He peers down at the other boy (and delights in the fact that there is actually someone shorter than him on this godforsaken train). "That's all I asked. There's precious little reading material on this damn train." He thinks for a moment. "Peter Parker seems to have some maths and sciences school books that he's studying out of, if you're interested in that." He thrusts out a hand. "I'm Joss. I reckon those of us of a particular age ought to be friendly with one another. What's your name?"

"I understand, and thank you." Raven responded, her voice calm but with what she could show of genuine appreciation. "When I get some books of my own, I'm willing to return the favor if possible."
