Day Twelve, Conclusion

[voidtreckermods]

All battles come to an end. Professor Chill and his henchpeople is defeated, the ice giant slain by the brave heroes of purple team. The townspeople led out of the tunnels and due to some extraordinary pun-hacking skills by Kaito the weather machine is de-powered.

Being a magical snowstorm the shutting down of the weather machine causes it to vanish, snow begins to melt and then evaporates into the air before it can become a larger problem in terms of a flood. The temperatures rise, going from dangerously cold to a warm spring day, warm enough that the voidtreckers will soon be too warm all bundled up as they are. The clouds disappear, the sun shines. Within a short period of time the streets are dry, the mountainsides are green and the trees are bright with flowers.

The streets are still a mess, property is damaged and the clean up operation is going to be intense but it doesn't look like there is any lasting ecological damage at least.

The ice labyrinth vanishes and those inside it will find themselves suddenly standing in the field below. For red team, the journey to the top of the mountain took four days in the blizzard but with the weather clear and going downhill they will reach the valley by the end of day eleven.

The army has arrived and mostly taken over gathering the injured and dealing with the more serious damage but there is plenty to do for those who still wish to help. Houses need put back to rights, streets and paths need sweeping of debris.

Help out, find your friends, swap stories. Celebrate a job well done.

Towards mid afternoon of day twelve a beeping from their SCA's should draw everyone's attention. The map leads them to a place just out of sight from the town and there is the Voidtrecker Express. It is time to leave.

A nudge, and Kaito pops a cup of coffee in his hands.

"How's the head?"

[deductiongeek]

"Better than it was," he says as he takes the coffee. "How was the computer?"

[stealsyourheart]

"A pain in the ass." He grimaces. "Who programs his entire system based on ice puns!??"

[deductiongeek]

"I wish I could say I was surprised."

He'd run into some very eccentric criminals.

[stealsyourheart]

"Considering the crap you go through daily at home, not surprising to you, maybe!"

He stretches out next to him.

"At least that's done. And Curufin-san doesn't know enough to realise it's odd for a kid my age to be able to hack that well, so my secret is apparently preserved."

[deductiongeek]

"Bombers," he says irritably. "I keep running into ones who think they're clever by sending riddles with puns to the police."

The only thing more annoying than the riddles was how dangerous the situation usually was.

"I guess you lucked out there. There are people here who would be suspicious." Tony,for one. He kept asking why he was wasn't in gifted classes at the least.

[stealsyourheart]

"Rude~ If you hadn't stopped them, I suppose I would have had to have done something."

Riddles are his shtick.

"Very definitely. It's a good thing I'm in Orange, I think. I should probably stage a show, to push the magician angle more... "

[deductiongeek]

"As long as you make the tricks interesting. If they're boring I might need to show up to explain how they're done."

[stealsyourheart]

"...You show up to explain ALL my tricks though."

HE WAS PRETTY PROUD OF MOST OF THOSE. HE MADE THEM ESPECIAL FOR YOU.

[deductiongeek]

"You better think up some new tricks, then."

[stealsyourheart]

"So demanding~"

He sighs. "Will I ever get praise from you, I wonder?"

[deductiongeek]

"Surprise me enough, and we'll see."

Conan knew perfectly well that the challenge was the main reason Kid liked him.

[stealsyourheart]

"I walked on air for you and you weren't impressed!" He sniffs, mock offended.

[deductiongeek]

"I'll admit I was slightly impressed by that," he offers. "For ten minutes."

[stealsyourheart]

"Only ten minutes." He laments. "It took me WEEKS to get that right. Still, better than nothing..."

[deductiongeek]

"Sonoko was very impressed," he offers.

[stealsyourheart]

"Miss Sonoko likes everything I do, she's not exactly hard to impress."

[deductiongeek]

"Then you'll just have to deal with a difficult critic."

[stealsyourheart]

"So mean." He laments cheerfully. "Why are you my favourite again?"
