[Dictated and dated tonight; Action for hospital]

My apologies, Ran.  It looks like I won't be able to make that meeting after all.  I had to make a stop at the hospital.

[Filtered to roommates, allies and acquaintances]
It appears I won't be making it back tonight.  Due to an incident I will be staying at Saint-Pierre Infirmerie for the night.  But there is no need to worry.

[A few minutes later, after getting his injury treated and resigning himself to spending the night at the hospital,  Shinichi returns to the journal and begins to dictate a few further thoughts.]

I don't suppose anyone at the hospital has any spare books I could borrow.

[ooc: For this event Conan has been aged up to his real seventeen-year-old self.  He is also pretending to be a new arrival and a distant relative of Conan.]

Did ya fall or somethin'?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Something like that. But it is nothing to worry about.

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

Can I get ya anythin'?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. It is just one night I have to stay here.

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

Okay.

...did ya find Conan?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Not yet. But I'm sure he's okay. He's a smart kid, after all.

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

[He nods at that, but then realizes that Shinichi can't see it.]

...yeah!

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Did you find any of your friends yet?

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

Not yet... but I've seen them on the journals.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

That's something. But don't go looking for them by yourself, okay?

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

Why not? Is it dangerous out there?

[coolguysangel.livejournal.com]

Shinichi? What happened? Is everything ok?

[It better be a big deal if you're cancelling on her!]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Any city is dangerous for a kid alone.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Nothing major. I ran into a little trouble and the doctor is being slightly overcautious.

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

Why?

[coolguysangel.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to come visit. [Wait. Nooo, that's not what you ask, Ran.] I mean--! I'm headed right there!

If we can't go out for Christmas, we can at least spend it together!

[You're not getting out of this, Shinichi Kudo! You've been avoiding her for way too long!]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

There's no need for that. Christmas is still a few days away and I should be well recovered by then. As I said, the doctor is merely being overly cautious.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

It would be easy to get lost, wouldn't it? In a city you don't know?

[coolguysangel.livejournal.com]

What did you do to get yourself hospitalized in Paris?!

...you weren't chasing someone, were you?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I saw a crime in progress. Of course I had to interfere.

[coolguysangel.livejournal.com]

[Shinichi hears a "greeeaaaggh!" over the journal.]

YOU STUPID DUMMY! The French have brutal police, you should have let them handle it!!!

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

I guess... though I get lost in the castle a lot, too.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

But the castle is smaller, isn't it?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Oi! How am I supposed to let a thing like that go?

[goldencirclet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true.

[Pause.]

Does that mean I gotta wait fer someone t'bring food?
