Nara-chan

I mean, no to all the attempts to solve the riddle :V

"Daijobu, gaki?" She recognized the two words: one from basic Japanese, and one from the constant annoyed word that spurt from Kogoro's mouth when Conan interferes. "Are you all right, brat?" "B-b-brat?!" The knocked-out guy seemed older than the knocker-out, so she could see why he was shocked. It was already weird enough, but an unexpected guest crashed in and added more to the weirdness: a random newspaper. It showed off first, doing a somewhat-gymastics routine before slamming in the boy's face. "...dai...jo...bou...desu...ka?" A familiar voice was heard. It was the girl she had bumped into in her mantra-chanting daze. "B-b-boku wa... gwenchanayo...." She narrowed her eyes at the boy. He had invented a new language, which she dubbed "Japanean." "I mean... I'm daijobou." he followed up. Now it's Japanglish? Wait..." "I'm sorry but... could you please tell me why you felt the need to nearly knock me out? Just so we're clear and all." That confirmed it. These two boys were English-speakers. Just what she was looking for. The other girl seemed to reel back. "I-errr...busy...need...to...run!" Her narrowed eyes switched to the girl. She didn't sound Japanese, and there was a high probability that she knew how to speak English properly. She also acted like she knew the boys, but that was very unlikely. The other spectators turned around and left, now that the issue was over, but she remained, silently staring at the two boys smooth things over. ------------------

Ohohohhoohho a dere eh~~? *smirks evilly* DCW's Poking Master

"Aaaah! Kochirakoso sumimasen!" That was the reply of the girl who she had bumped into. She didn't look weirded out or anything, so she felt relieved. The girl continues walking in the opposite direction, and so did she. "Now all I need is a snack or something." She brought out her fat wallet, and did some calculations. The sum was incredible (she really wanted to go to the generous soul that gave her this chance and offer to be a slave or something), but she decided to budget it. Of course, anime/manga merchandise got a high priority on the budget list. Ughhhh, I need someone who actually speaks English here! she mentally groaned. She felt something fuzzy near her sneakers. It was a cat! But there wasn't just one cat, the street was filled with them! Okay, that was exaggeration, but it was unnatural for cats to suddenly pop out of nowhere in a city. On the opposite side of the street, instead of felines, people were gathered, albeit not as many as the cats. "Could it be a KID impostor heist?" she wondered, and crossed the street and peeked at the commotion. ------------------

No to all of you~~~ Why not try the pirate problem? It's fun to solve~

*watches lapse into insanity*

No.

Read the question again. It is a rant.

... *stops listening to the monologue*

Sorry. I didn't know it what you were referring to. NO SPAMMING.

Don't rant here >-> *P.S.

I wasn't gonna say that

1. No 2. No

^ Yup, that's correct! Wow, that was fast! rep for you, neechan!

0_0 Uh...uh...*zips mouth*

^ I saw that, neechan, but this is slightly different. You do start with 2 pirates, though. No. Uh, I don't get it, neechan :/

In her hype, she, as Nara-chan, had made a status update. Since a certain point in time, she had shut down her profile. She didn't allow anybody to post on her wall (and she didn't post on others' wall, too), she removed all her friends and she didn't make status updates. Only recently did she start posting on other people's walls and adding friends again, but she still didn't make status updates. She wasn't planning on changing that! Deletedeletedelete! she thought as she moved the arrow to the delete button, and clicked. When she confirmed, the status update was gone. She hoped no one had seen it. She lurked and stalked other members for a while before exiting DCW. She then stared at the remaining tabs: Wikipedia and Yahoo! News. She decided to close Yahoo! News (although she really REALLY wanted to learn more about the thefts) and launched a new tab in its place: Google. She typed "basic Japanese phrases" in the box (she knew a little, but not stuff like, "Where's ____?"), and quickly clicked on the first result, as she had only 7 minutes left. "Please please please let there be a pen...", she muttered as she reached down into her duffel bag. ------------------ (7 minutes later) The logo of the computer shop appeared on the screen, signaling the end of her 20 minutes. She didn't find a pen, but used the "Notes" portion of her cellphone (which she thought wasn't with her) to type some of the stuff she found in the website. "Now I can survive here...." she muttered.She walked out of the She stared at the pavement, and chanted a mantra in her head: I will not look lost! I will not talk to strangers! I will- "Aaah!" When she was walking with her head bowed down, she had bumped into someone. "A-a-ah! Sumimasen!" she said, while awkwardly bowing. -------------------------------------

Do you know about the traditional "Pirates and Gold" question? Well, it enforces a thing called "Game Theory", in where you have to think how your opponent thinks. Here's a variation of the "Pirates and Gold" question: Misc.Riddles:

--------------------------- She left the place, and walked in no particular direction. She was now itching to touch a computer again, so she looked for a computer shop, dragged out her wallet, and paid the appropriate fee for 20 minutes of internet time. The Japanese person behind the counter looked at her in a strange way, but gave her her change anyway. Setting down her bag, she multiplied the tabs, and typed down the links for Google Maps, Wikipedia, Yahoo News and DCW. She planned to print out a map for Shibuya, and maybe some lodging places with Google Maps; look at the Wikipedia article for Shibuya; DCW because she always does; and Yahoo News for news from her country, and maybe.... Nonononononononono why should I? Knowing that KID's name is being misused does not really mean I have to poke my nose into police business!, she said in her mind. Nevertheless, she searched for news in the locality. There was the KID impostor heists, some violinist (she was reminded of her violin lessons, albeit they didn't last very long) and the opening of a new manga store in the Ebisu area, but nothing really interesting. Or that was what she forced herself to think. She continued looking at the Wikipedia article, alongside the pamphlet she picked up (she just remembered that she stuffed it in her bag, so she closed Google Maps), her blank face masking the hype that she was now feeling. ----------------------------------------

^Well, I told her because she was really excited and it seemed like a favor...?

I regret nothing. This should be what we do, right?

A mistake gone wrong :33

Finalllllyyyyy. :3 *goes and tells good news to KKLT*

Thought you'd never ask! "I'm in otaku heaven right now..." she muttered to herself. From a pamphlet she picked up, she was in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan. It was always her dream since becoming an otaku to go to Japan. The nearest she had ever come to Japan was when she went to South Korea (she was silently grumbling about Japan just being some landmass and A SEA away from where she was), but now she was in the very CAPITAL of it. She was about to start jumping up and down and shouting random Japanese phrases, but stopped because...well, duh! Who wants to be stared at in a very awkward way? A quick peek at her bag revealed neatly rolled clothes, a Haruhi Suzumiya light novel (how appropriate), and a fat wallet full of Japanese yen. Huh, I wonder who's the generous soul who gave a depressed otaku girl a chance to enjoy herself in Japan?, she silently thought. She found a bench to sit down on, and rested her unusually weary legs. Several computers were hooked up near her, and she took a quick peek (Internet withdrawal symptoms...) To her surprise, it was in English (she expected a kanji explosion), so she read the article. "People now use Kaito KID as a name? That person is one full-blown otaku. Well, if there's a KID around, there should be a Conan around to counter that! Or a Hakuba. Whatever!" She returned to her seat, and began smiling. Perhaps her trip to Japan will have a Detective Conan vs. Kaito KID aura around it! ---------------- Good thing I didn't follow my mom's order to sleep early :VVVVVV

^This.
