[two scenarios! I will post a scene-setting comment for both of them, please reply below the comment of the scenario you're taking part in, even if you're not replying directly to Conan. Thank you!

By the way, I encourage Forensics people to reply to both parts of the post, thread jack and jump around -- this is to get an idea of how our characters interact in their daily working lives! /o/]

[In the background there's a creepy, small, skinny girl standing and smoking a cigarette. Her stare is a bit unnerving but her eye never wavers from the crime scene. She's making a photograph of it.

Lisbeth hadn't wanted to get involved in the first place, Armansky had always told her she was crap when it came to interacting with people and asked her to work from home. But this was interesting to her and she figured if anything could preoccupy her it was figuring out a murder by herself. For fun. But that meant legwork and being in public - she didn't mind either but she'd rather be holed up in her apartment with a computer.]

[It's not until he's dismissed the team to their various tasks and is coming up from the sewer for a much needed airbreak that Conan realises that something is off. It takes him another moment to realise why. The smell of tobacco is rare enough in Asgard that he noted the woman at the back of the crowd, even if he didn't register. Now the crowd has thinned but she's still there.

Conan's turned interviewing over to Beckett to lead (how many people are going to want to be interviewed by a seven-year-old after all?) but he's curious enough to approach her himself.]

Excuse me, Oneechan! Do you live around here?

[thawing]

[She doesn't at all know who Conan is here or what he's doing at a crime scene, she assumes he's the child of one of the investigators. Even if she hadn't just arrived, she might still have a time of trying to make sense of it.

The look Lisbeth gives the kid borders on hostile, but due to his apparent age she seems to be attempting to be less abrasive out of the gate.]

No.

[Lisbeth takes one last drag off her cigarette and inhales deeply before hissing it out between her teeth, directing it towards the sky. She crushes it under the toe of her boot before she speaks again.]

Just looking.

[Her accent is faintly Swedish, if one had heard it before. But she speaks in mumbles and whispers more often than not.]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Conan's been so spoilt by the indulgence of the grey people and the willingness of most travellers to overlook his age that the abruptness is a surprise.]

Looking ... for anything in particular? Maybe we can help!

[thawing]

[She shakes her head a tad vigorously in response, dead set on giving nothing away.]

I'm fine.

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah ... well, if you're sure ...

Ne, maybe you can help us! Can I ask you some questions ... ?

[thawing]

[Blink. Blink.

That's her giving you permission to ask. But nobody speaks Lisbeth here. orz]

[holmes_fanatic]

...

[Well, it's not a refusal ... Maybe she's going to wait to hear the questions to decide? Taking the chance, Conan glances at his notes.]

Ah ... have you heard any talk about anyone going missing anytime in the last month? Late teens, or a small women, a grey citizen ...

[thawing]

[She bristles suddenly at that. What could she be thinking?]

I just arrived her a few days ago.

[holmes_fanatic]

So you've just gotten settled in then?

[Conan closes his notebook regretfully.] Thanks for your time, um -- ne, what's your name?

[thawing]

[She really doesn't want to give out her name. Especially near a crime scene. If she knew that Conan was part of the forensics team she would have just left right there, but right now she thinks he's a child. So she introduces herself with no hidden reluctance.]

Salander. Lisbeth Salander.

[holmes_fanatic]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Edogawa Conan.

[Conan bows politely.]

Ne ... I hope you manage to get settled in easily, Salander-san! I'd better let you go.
