[The feed lurches disconcertingly. Sheets, ceiling, a rather plain wall, a stack of books, all follow each other in rapid and confusing succession until with an intake of breath, the flailing stops and the feed settles into a child's hand grasping the edge of that sheet; the shadow of a sitting up figure projected onto the wall beyond.]

... back here. A dream?

[Too vivid, too real for that. The shadow shifts, hand going to its head as a deep breath is taken. It's a hard transition to make, almost feeling like he's losing Tokyo and everything there all over ag--]

What the--

[The bracelet gets jolted wildly as Conan explores his hair. It gets in the way and is roughly discarded onto the bed, giving a much clearer view of a pale seven-year-old, methodically working his way through his fringe -- what's left of it. There's a patch been shaved off either temple, and something taped onto it with medical tape.]

Doesn't hurt -- a sensor? But that should mean --

[Not wasting any time, Conan slips out of the bed. He's been dressed in a man's shirt, as big on him as a hospital gown, a fact which gives him a moment's pause, but he's undeterred, rolling up the sleeves before turning to pick up his bracelet again -- and making another discovery. What he thought was a bed was a --]

Coffee table.

Looking for this?

[Conan turns to look at Sherlock, standing in the door way, smartphone in hand. Conan doesn't bother with a greeting, making his unsteady way over to snatch at the smartphone. Sherlock lets him, expression simply distant.]

Monitor higher brain functions ... ? Ha, there's an app for everything.

[Sherlock might be looking as unamused as ever, but a new face makes it's way around the door, with an expression that is clearly more welcoming.]

Conan! You're finally back with us?

John's glad. He was complaining that you were unsanitary.

[Conan's clearly not sure how to react.] Why the coffee table? Couldn't you have monitored me from my room -- o-oi-oi!

Don't get excited -- your bracelet. [Ignoring Conan's protests, Sherlock's casually taken hold of his arm and is reaching for the button that will end the feed.] You're broadcas--

[And cut.]

((ooc: Sherlock, John and Conan -- who is going to be doing most of the responses to this post! Finally back after his canon update sleep /o/ ))

I can't ignore people being hurt, or those responsible for them acting so badly. I don't want everything to be perfect, but lately it's just been... too much.

Do you remember when that dragon showed up? How innocent we all were?
whatagoodgirl: ([unsure] so many choices.)

I guess I really just wanted a break. Maybe not anything that noble.
whatagoodgirl: ([happy/shy] touched.)

[It feels odd, being allowed to be selfish. She frowns at first, then smiles softly.]

You're too gentle with me. Either that or I'm too hard on myself.
whatagoodgirl: ([neutral] brave girl.)

[She glances down at him, inscrutible, then looks up and realizes that they've reached the library.] I guess this is it, huh?
whatagoodgirl: ([shock] blank white eyes.)

H-Hey! [She runs after him, but it's pretty easy to keep up with his short legs, so she's just at a loping jog by the time she reaches the stairs.] We could've walked faster if you were so excited!
whatagoodgirl: ([surprise] gulp.)

[Luckily, she just manages to throw herself bodily into the wall beside the door to keep from crashing into him. With a wince, rubbing her arm a bit sulkily, she decides to follow him at her own pace this time. Maybe even a bit slower than usual. The newspapers are waiting there... the one place she might find news of her world.]
whatagoodgirl: ([surprise] these things that i've done.)

[She avoids the racks of newspapers, walking straight toward him. And that news does shake her out of her fear a little.]

Proof that it really happened?
whatagoodgirl: ([neutral] deep thought.)

[She accepts the paper and skims the article, and sure enough, it's exactly like Conan said. Her face screws up in concentration as she tries to come up with a logical explanation for this, but...]

... it makes no sense. None at all.
whatagoodgirl: ([surprise] !!!)

Conan! [She's this close to thwapping him in the head.] I mean... all of this. How could you fall asleep, monitored, and be somewhere else? Do they... do they not have all of us here?
whatagoodgirl: ([surprise] gulp.)

Is that really possible, though? A soul or a spirit brought here, given a body... and it can travel back to its old body in sleep... it also explains people like me, but.

But it's crazy, isn't it?
whatagoodgirl: ([angry] irritable look.)

I just want something to make sense! [She slams her hand down on a nearby table.] I mean, should we just give up, say the whole thing is crazy, and just live our lives? Is that the best way?
whatagoodgirl: ([neutral] deep thought.)

I guess... I just never thought of spirits or souls as real before. It'll take a lot of getting used to.
