Open (Introductions Time)
Who: Conan, Ran, close CR, anyone
What: Conan's life just got more complicated again. And he has someone he needs to introduce.
Where: Throughout the Train
When: Fiddlesticks Days 13-14-15
The mission had worked as a distraction, but after finally returning to the train Conan had realized that he had some decisions to make. Ran was here, and only knew him as Conan. There were others here... People who had supported him as Conan, and had seen him change to Shinichi or had learned his secret in other ways. But none of them knew the full story, or why he had kept his secrets from Ran all this time.
Apart from all of this, he needed to introduce Ran to the people on the train he knew could be trusted. He needed to warn the people in the know that they needed to keep the secret. (He wanted to tell Ran the truth, more than anything. But not now. Not like this. Not until he could tell her the truth while wearing his own face and name.)
And so, the day after returning from the mission, Conan made his plans. He sought out Ran, keeping close beside her. And over the next few days he introduces her to the people he knew on the train. He tries to strike a balance between the childish behavior Ran had come to expect from him, and the more adult-like attitude he had adopted on the train. (He is not always successful.) And to those who know the secret, he carefully phrases his words to warn them not to say anything to Ran.

"Ran is my name." Her brow furrows a little, trying to decide how best to explain it. "At home, though, people add extra endings to be polite or to say how close they are to someone? Conan-kun adds -neechan to my name because I'm older than he is, and it's polite." Smiling down at Conan, lightly fluffing at his hair: "And because he's like my little brother. I add -kun because he's younger and familiar. I've just met you, so I would call you Narajan-san."
It's not a perfect explanation by any means, but hopefully it helps?
A sharp blink at Conan for the mention of the fires. ". . . Isn't that dangerous inside? To use a fire? Not even just the fire itself, but where does the smoke go?"
Her eyes shift back towards the monster. "What are cards, too?"
Might have misspelled some names.
"So I would call you Ran-san?" she asked, to be sure. It was important to try to be polite. Sadly it was an important she sometimes forgot until she was reminded. Usually she had Goligan for that... but not here...
And she might be intentionally ignoring the bit about fires.
"Cards. I'm a Cepter. Gremlin and Eidolon and the others are all cards."
/saw nothing!
Eyes slipping back to the creatures. "They're . . . cards?"
Because they don't look like cards. They look like living, 3D beings.
Thankfully, for the moment she's been distracted from the fires -- it helps that there's not one to worry about in front of her at the moment. She may return to it later.
Re: /saw nothing!
She nodded. "Yeah, I'm a Cepter," she said as though that explained everything.
