Waking up in a strange place is a sadly common for Shinichi-it wasn't even the first time he woke up on a strange boat. At least it wasn't a canoe this time. Still, after meeting with the cruise director and the near heart attack from her knowing his real name. He tried to insist there was a mix up but after that mess he decided to distract himself with a little exploring to get a better idea of the layout and where exactly he is.

The first place he's investigating is the main hall. He's got his notebook out and seems to be taking notes and looking far too calm for the age he appears to be.

He looks over as he hears someone approaching and shoves the notebook in his pocket before putting on his best little kid face and rushing up to them.

"Hello! Do you know where we are?" He offers his sweetest little kid face, eyes bright and innocent.


[[ ooc: Since Conan is a detective and I'm.. not. I made this post for people to info dump about things Conan might notice about your character. ]]

She takes note of the room number, a reminder to herself to keep an eye out on the kid. But she doesn't intend to be a babysitter.

"Well if it turns out you end up with one that gives you any trouble or is a creep, let me know and I'll come give them the shakedown," Ava offers, playfully but sincere.

Conan's pretty sure he can handle himself if his supposed roommate is either of those things but rather than tell her that he just smiles as innocently as he can managed and gives her a sharp nod.

"Okay, miss. Um.. I don't think you gave me your name?" He points out. "Mine's Conan. Edogawa Conan."

"Some roommates end up going missing, so don't get lost," she warns. She'll try to get the maps to him to prevent it.

"Ah," she pauses. "That's a nice name, it's good to meet you." But she figures giving him her name is harmless. "I'm Ava."

"Eh?" The innocent smile falters for a moment at that, his eye brow raising slightly. "Missing?" He asks, keeping his tone light. "Like they disappeared? Any sign of what happened to them?"

It feels mean, telling a child all this. But that's the purpose of fairy tales, stories of the bogeyman. There are real dangers out there, and she doesn't want him being unaware. "No sign at all. Perhaps they found a way home after all," but she doubts it.

The problem with that tactic is that he's not easily frightened and the more that's unclear the more he wants to pick at it until things do make sense.

"How many were there, do you know? Do you know what their names were? What were they doing the last time they were seen?"

It does seem a little odd that he's asking such specific details of people that he'll never meet, but Ava remembers being a kid asking far too many questions of the scientists and how they kept brushing her off. She doesn't want to be that way.

"Just the two that I've heard of. Conner and... well, I never met the other. Nobody really knows? It's a large ship, it's hard to identify even when it might have been. So try to stick close to somebody, I think. Check in with them."
