stalking_horse[Oh damnit damnit damnit damnit.]
[He's getting BETTER at dealing with the jungle, but it doesn't mean he's nearly as good at it as the person he's trying to find - ]
[Because let's face it, the idea of leaving a distinctly not in his right normal mind Conan alone wandering around in the jungle, with everything that's out to get one or both of them at this point, does not seem like something Saguru just wants to leave go.]
[He's doing the best at tracking that he can - Conan's footprints are, at least, easily identifiable when they can be found - but he hasn't had near enough time to get THAT good at it out here, and frankly, is once again missing Watson and the "follow" trick he'd taught her; being able to just look for where the bird was following/kiting to tell where Conan was would be SO much easier.]
[He's also periodically checking his pocketwatch and trying not to think about how much could happen in the time that's passed since he last saw Conan. :| ]
[And quite possibly is starting to hit areas of the jungle he's actually never seen before!]
[Why does the universe hate him.]

Date: 2010-09-20 12:22 am (UTC)[For the same reasons monkeys have it out to get Conan, probably. Oh, sure, sometimes he seems to actually GET ALONG with them, but there were definitely a few that Did Not Like Him. Thus, why he ended up in a spring. And with clothes pretty shredded, he didn't dare go to the Golden Land right away for some hot water because he didn't need Beatrice to see THAT and had gone to get clothes.]
[At least he managed to find the tree without incident. He even managed to get pants on, when the monkeys stuck again, this time throwing a dark red berry in his mouth that he almost choked on.]
[After that though, things got hazy for Shinichi and he didn't bother getting a shirt or even taking off the glasses. Instead, he promptly left, looking for a very specific person.]
[Who he just spotted.]
[Right now.]
[And has managed to come up behind him, and wrapped his arms around his waist, pressing against his back, and practically purred in his ear.] Hakuba~!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 12:26 am (UTC)[He is, however, very familiar with Kuroba Kaito, and has never been properly educated on just how far the doppelganger thing goes with them.]
[Hence, this will immediately translate as "OH DEAR GOD HAS EVERYONE GONE INSANE", with a bit of a startled-jump-almost-flail and a falsetto squeak.] K-KUROBA?!
[At this point he's about ready to see Beatrice pop up out of nowhere and attempt to molest him. :| JUST BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE THE THEME TODAY.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 12:31 am (UTC)Is that your final answer~?
[Nothing says awkward like thinking the boy you stalk is right now doing a good job of feeling up your chest, and sounding like a cat who got the canary in your ear.]
[Also, kind of wet still.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 12:38 am (UTC)[And really, the fact that he's not entirely speaking in a normal octave and has the occasional funny hand gesture of utter confusion probably says plenty about Hakuba's current state of mind.]
I-
-gah-!
-what're you-
Atleasttryandpulladiguiseifyou'regoingtoexpectmetonotrecognizeyou!
[The rational part of his brain is currently preoccupied trying to calculate the best way to get loose without things blowing up in his face.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 12:41 am (UTC)[Chuckles.] Well, if you were RIGHT, that might be an issue, Ha~ku~ba.
[M-might be attempting to slip hands under your shirt.]
1/2
Date: 2010-09-20 12:45 am (UTC)[......Wait, glasses frames?]
[Glasses frames ---> Was tracking Conan ---> Conan was already doing the flail crush thing ---> Conan = Shinichi ---> Shinichi DID look an awful lot like Kaito in photos ---> = being molested by Conan/Shinichi]
[........................]
gh;f.
[Brain fatal error. Abort/retry/fail?]
mhshf-
2/2
Date: 2010-09-20 12:46 am (UTC)[After the good few seconds of fatal error, somewhere in the lower branches of that tree over there seems like a good place to be. Now. He will be making an attempt at making a break for it.]
Re: 2/2
Date: 2010-09-20 12:50 am (UTC)[Probably a good thing to make a break for it, since hands were working their way under that shirt, but the tree might not be the best place.]
[It makes such a good place to pin you. =D]
[Or at least grab your shoulders and press against you again.] Really, Saguru, I'm not that terrifying, am I?
I don't think I've ever seen an appropriate icon for his expression right now.
Date: 2010-09-20 12:55 am (UTC)[Other objects in close proximity by his own doing spacial awareness fail.]
[He's also about fifty shades of red.]
I-
aghf-
what-
I am not sure how to answer that question right now.
Understandable.
Date: 2010-09-20 12:57 am (UTC)[Too bad for Hakuba, he's kind of drugged up from berry right now, so sanity=/=current mindset.]
Awww, but Saguru, it's not like I want to hurt you. [H-he may be spreading gentle kisses along your neck right now.]
no subject

You are not -
I -
[Odds of him being lucid of whatever he's on/whatever's affecting him right now = 0]
[Urge to disappear = MUCH]
Aghf-
[Odds of something bad happening to him if he's left wandering around like this = potentially quite high]
[CURSE YOU SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY. Curse you for remembering people like oh idk Bern at a time like this.]
[And they're in the MIDDLE OF THE JUNGLE and god knows where by Hakuba's reckoning and oh goddamnit-]
-I, this, ah -j;fd;-
It would be - [flail] very very BAD if someone saw you right now -
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:07 am (UTC)People usually avoid this part of the Jungle. The hot springs will curse you if you fall in and change your form.
[S-said in between those kisses and he's pondering giving you a hickey right now.]
[But hey, explanation for why he's older for you.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:12 am (UTC)[Right. Trying to get somewhat away. Or something. Just a few feet? Maybe closer to the tree? Something? Please say there's a sign of someplace that's not Out In The Open nearby. He's not sure he can focus enough to remember Tear's map off the top of his head right now, brain too busy having repeated BSOD's.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:14 am (UTC)Just relax, Saguru. It's fine. [And moving a step back, but mostly to turn Hakuba around. NOW'S THE CHANCE TO RUN FOR IT!]
[...might be a cave nearby?]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:17 am (UTC)[However, the sad realization that he's probably going to have no problem getting Shinichi to follow him makes it that much easier to go with the fight or flight instinct and dash for the dark space he'd just caught sight of.]
[This may not be his most well-thought out, cunning, and brilliant plan ever.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:19 am (UTC)[...no, not really.]
[And of course, Shinichi is following like a puppy.] Hey, wait up!
[J-just try not to get pinned down again.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:25 am (UTC)[Just, not very big.]
[...It is now occurring to him that there's a glaring flaw in his cunning plan, and one that it's very hard to find a better way around that wouldn't involve rearranging his priorities.]
[I mean, the only other place he knows to get out of sight that'd be safe would be the Inn but Ran is there and OhdeargodwearenotlettingRanseethis. In fact, if Ran never hears about this, it'd be great. :| ]
[Curse you, sense of responsibility and trying to keep others in one piece even at own expense.]
[So once he gets to the chamber back in a bit, in the dark? He's going to be ... just sort of turning to look back and facing the sinking realization that he just trapped himself with someone who's REALLY not themselves.]
[Universe, y u haet meh?]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:34 am (UTC)[Oh hey, there's a flashlight now. Good thing Shinichi still has the watch.]
Hmmm, I suppose it's better when there's privacy. [T-that is definitely a predatory look.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:42 am (UTC)[Or well, it was, but not for that reason.]
[Oh god.]
N-not exactly what I had planned...
[Backing away...]
[Oh right. Wall.]
[Curse you, enclosed space.]
I don't suppose it's occurred to you that you're acting a bit odd. [It is very clear that he knows this isn't going to do anything, and that it's a statement of the obvious that will fall on deaf ears.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 01:44 am (UTC)You try being seven with a mind that doesn't match at all. [And he's just gonna kiss you now that you're facing him. \o/]
(we are not going to go into how much Hakuba's been repressing/ignoring/shunting off by now.)
Date: 2010-09-20 01:51 am (UTC)[Attempting to become one with the wall and there's a lot more of the awkward flail hand gestures]
[Really if it were someone else there may've been attempts at violence/escape by now but curse you sense of responsibility and you're really not on the list of people he would want to hurt-]
Are any of the detectives not repressed in some fashion?
Date: 2010-09-20 01:56 am (UTC)[D-desperate times might call for desperate measures as Shinichi isn't moving away and is just deepening that kiss.]
[He'll die later when he realizes his first first as Shinichi will be with a boy.]
Hakuba canonically gets shot down by his own luck. :| It's a very enforced repression.
Date: 2010-09-20 02:02 am (UTC)[You are probably so lucky he's really not that violent.]
[.... :| You think Hakuba's had any luck before on that front to not have a similar mortification, only a bit more immediately?]
True, true, but at least dirty thoughts doesn't mortify him quite as much?
Date: 2010-09-20 02:07 am (UTC)[T-that is gonna kind of give an opening to deepen the kiss there, trying to open his mouth when Shinichi is kissing him so soundly. Though he isn't QUITE as pressed up against Hakuba with all the squirming and it's just a tight grip on his shoulders. A harder push should do it.]
[Or unlucky in the fact he'd probably wish he did smack him when he's sane again.]
[...you never know.]
Well, yes, but does that help him any?
Date: 2010-09-20 02:12 am (UTC)jkd;s I don't - I'm - you - ahskfs- what are you doing?!
.....not really.
Date: 2010-09-20 02:14 am (UTC)[Stumbles back, but manages to stay on his feet.]
[Kind of looking at him owlishly, like he wasn't quite understanding Hakuba's problem. Considering the glazed look he has, it's probably easy to pick up on.]
Showing you that I love you.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:20 am (UTC)I - that's - [Because "You are being affected by something and that is not true/will not be true as soon as whatever it is wears off" would not work-] Isn't this a bit sudden?! - I mean - taking things a bit fast or - [Flail, flounder]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:22 am (UTC)[He's approaching again.] Hesitation always ends badly. I can never keep this body for long.
[....probably not the way you wanted to confirm that theory.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:27 am (UTC)[Oh, attempting to resort to reason when your brain is half fried, and you're well aware that it's basically "try to reason with the crazy person in terms they might actually process".] Yes, but, I don't - I've never - If there's something here that can do that, then it's perfectly possible to do it again, right? [Edging sideways along the wall]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:29 am (UTC)If I do it too much, then it gives the game away to the witches. [S-still following.]
Yes, he is now Up To Something.
Date: 2010-09-20 02:36 am (UTC)[Sure, hit one of the main reasons he'd gone for cover anyway.]
[Oh goddamnit what is he going to have to do, tie you up or something?]
[....]
Ah, well, I ... [Fluster, blink. Has stopped edging and away, is having another BSOD moment.]
Go, go Hakuba~
Date: 2010-09-20 02:39 am (UTC)[And stepping close again, moving a hand to his cheek.] I don't want to let an opportunity to slip me by.
[G-gonna go for another kiss.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:42 am (UTC)[And for a minute, it's actually like he's going along with it!]
[Right up until there's a likely far-too-familiar click and him trying to use the element of surprise to get both hands cuffed behind your back.]
[He's very glad he had his suit-jacket on, even if it's open and disheveled. It had Useful Things in the pockets.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:45 am (UTC)[He was totally distracted by you seemingly getting into it!]
[A-and it kind of takes a minute for his mind to process What Just Happened.]
....kinky.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:48 am (UTC)Actually not what I was going for. You are not in your right mind now, and while I'm sure you won't believe me about that for now, I'm not sure what else to do here; I can't have you wandering around like this and getting spotted by the wrong people, which is the entire reason we're in here, but I am not going to just leave you doing something you're going to regret later.
[Already steeling himself for the inevitable fallout of stalker-puppy-kicking.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:52 am (UTC)Not in my right mind...? How can you say something like that?!
[And he's giving you a kicked puppy look now.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:57 am (UTC)You were ready to throttle me last night, and you have Ran, who you've been perfectly devoted to. Maybe I would believe this if something had happened between you and her, and if you weren't more hostile to me than anything, but suddenly latching onto me like this reeks of some kind of outside meddling, and I don't know if it's another of this place's games, or the actions of someone else here, but we know there's forces at work that can meddle in people's heads and change their behavior, which is a far more likely explanation for this than you suddenly waking up one morning, forgetting Ran, and deciding to throw yourself at me.
Even though I know you're not going to believe a word of that right now.
I'm not going to let you get hurt like this, or run afoul of the wrong people, but I'm not going to take advantage of you, or be taken advantage of.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 02:59 am (UTC)Ran....? [And there's....a deep look of confusion on his face. Like he's trying to connect something, but for some reason, he's not able too.] What about...Ran?
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 03:03 am (UTC)I know it's likely not coming through very well with whatever's going on, but you have her, not me, and one of the reasons I am going to make sure you stay put here until this lessens is so that she doesn't get hurt by this.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 03:08 am (UTC)[Well, when something is trying to convince him he's in love with someone else...]
But...it was you ever since I saw you....nggh.... [Kind of wincing. At least he can join you in headache land.]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 03:11 am (UTC)Are you going to try to leave or do anything silly like that?
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 03:12 am (UTC)....
Why would I want to leave you?
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 03:17 am (UTC)We should probably at least have a seat; we might be here a while.
[And he's going to very cautiously let go and kind of ...sink to sitting with his back to the wall.]
[Oh hai, realization of how mentally and emotionally exhausting the last few days have been. Why is this place good at doing that?]
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 03:20 am (UTC).... [Harder to try and molest you with handcuffs.]
[But will sit VERY CLOSE beside you. Really, he's only, like, an inch from being in your lap.]
This is where I have to wonder if Shinichi ever learned how to slip handcuffs.
Date: 2010-09-20 03:25 am (UTC)I wonder if anyone else's having issues with this... [He doesn't exactly expect an answer, more just thinking out loud.]
I think he could pick them, but he's...not thinking straight, so yeah.
Date: 2010-09-20 03:28 am (UTC)[And he's VERY cuddly, head even rested on your shoulder~]
Issues with what?
no subject
Date: 2010-09-20 03:35 am (UTC)You really are utterly gone on this, aren't you?
[...siiiiiigh.] [The sad part is, this is probably going to be one of his few moments of peace for a while.]
