{art/fic]The Price You Pay

Told YsabetYsabet that we'd trade her some pics for more Windfall. ^___^ I think in pictures and colours, words tend to be on the frustrating side sometimes. So when all else fails, we draw.

Since we've got a lot of stuff for 'The Price You Pay', figured we'd show off some of that.after we post doodles for other stories.

For Ysabet:
Aoko outside the bathroom from 'Windfall'

The perportions are a little off on Kaito, but the expression are good.

Becky Tailweaver: (WHERE ARE YOOOOOOU?!)
Conan with Kid's hat for 'Relative Truth'

Becky disappears, and we start writing Hakuba and Kaito snogging. I'm thinking that's not a coincidence. ¬_¬ Show up, dammit! I'm starting ta worry! You're usually not gone this long!

For The Price You Pay
This fic is our current major story WiP, 3 parts long. As Loqi put it 'AU that makes too much sense'. There's a page of plot bunnies in the 'Imp in Japan' section of our site too.

The one that got us thinking: (drawn on the bus)
Kid and Heiji talking

Title Art for Part One, un-coloured
"For Freedom"

Thinking sketches for Part 1:
Rooftop, scar and gliding

Part 2: (Heiji's asking if Kaito's ticklish)
Prelude to a Pillow Fight

Part 3: Thinking sketches, pre nap.
Worried Aoko, Tired Conan, Hakuba & Kaito, Heiji & Ai watch from the distance

Part 3, before Ai wrote herself in:
Nap time!

-yes, it's a great big snuggle time. Hakuba complains about it later. ^__^

*looks around*
*shrugs*
Eh, here's the opening:


***

"Kudo Shin'ichi is now wanted for the murder of-" Dr. Agasa turned off the television with an angry click of the remote control. It had been all over the television and radio stations for the last couple of hours, and already he was sick of it.

Kudo being accused of murder. It was as un-likely as it was impossible. Kudo, or Conan, had been at school at the time. There was no way for it to happen.

It was just up to him to figure out how it was done.

"He really didn't do it, you know." A voice spoke from his window ledge, startling both him and the doctor who nearly dropping the beaker he carried. The figure in white chuckled, sliding into the room from his perch on the windowsill and closing the window after him with the ease of familiarity.

"Don't startle me like that, Kid-kun!" The Doctor scolded. "It could have been something highly explosive and 'KA-POW'! There goes the whole place."

Kid the Phantom Thief, the moon lit thief himself, looked amused. "I would have caught it before hand, Agasa-sensei." He assured the scientist. "Although..." He added in a thoughtful tone, "It wouldn't have been out of character for that to have happened."

Dr. Agasa playfully threatened to hit him with the beaker, causing the thief to laugh and hold his hands up in a placating gesture, acting like a child around a favourite uncle. The scientist certainly resembled one as he chuckled, un-successfully hiding a grin in his moustache. "So what brings you to my window tonight, Kid-kun? I don't have any new toys ready for you yet."

"What?" The Kid looked around the lab, poking at the various things that could be found there as if searching for a distraction. "I can't come visit an old family friend?"

The scientist raised an eyebrow. "Right. Now what was that you said when you first startled me so? 'He didn't do it, you know'?"

"He didn't." The thief agreed, all amusement fading from his face to be replaced by a blank mask that did nothing to hid the startling fury behind the sharp indigo eyes. "I saw the whole thing. It was someone who used my father's techniques to look like Kudo."

"Ah." The scientist nodded. "And you know who did it?"

"I saw their face." The thief replied edgily.

"Enough to recognise them at a later date?"

Hattori Heiji abruptly found himself looking down the barrel of a card gun. He slowly raised his hands, a bead of sweat sliding down the back of his neck. That was probably not the smartest move he could have made, he mentally reviewed.

.... If Relative Truth is UNFINISHED when I just started READING THE DAMN THING, after that thing she PULLED with In Vina Veratis, I'm going to throw a CHIBI KITTY EARED SCREAMING HISSING GROWLING SPITTING FIT. Noooooo. ;_;

RT

*cracks up laughing*
Yes, Relative Truth still un-finished, being a WiP. But it's okay, it's still very VERY good and sends the plot bunnies on orgasmic puddles of drooling bliss every time we re-read it.

Actually, IVV will be cointinuted, it will tie in with some other WiP, other than RT. The next fic is the one you should throw a chibi kitty eared screaming hissing growling spitting fit at, yes. *nods*
Still think that was of Becky to do. -_- *chuckles*

Finish reading RT!!!

*bounces bounces bounces*

I really can't wait to read PYP now!! When are you planning on having it up??

*blinks* I thought IVV was done...and is she ever going to right a sequel to Stronger than I Am?! *falls over dead* I need a RT update!

Part one is currently stalled as we plot Ysabet's death.
No, seriously! ^___^
She killed us at the end of "Conversations Among Ghosts", so we're killing her here. *BEAMS!*
We're just no so good with mysteries, so it's slow going... *scratches head* Eh, heheheheheheh...

-ICKA! the IMP

Conversations Among Ghosts? *grins* I reread that not too long ago. *hugs* Love it...Ahahaha, so you're one of the three crazed girls? *grins* I can see why...^.~

Haha, I admire anyone who can write a seemingly logical mystery...Becky and Ysabet on the list at the very top. Haha, I'm not even going to attempt to write one.

Yeah, I'm the one mimicing Bazooka Explosions and convincing the others to go to abandoned shrines outside of Tokyo. ^^;; Magik-chan and Hell's Hauntress are the other two. Magik's the one with the sketch book.

Is not easy writing a logical mystery, as I'm finding out... o_O Logic is a problem...

-ICKA! the IMP

Good luck on the mystery! Heh...although I do enjoy your humorous fics...you just have insanity the other two don't.

*sighs in bliss* And it's so nice that ff.net FINALLY has good updates! FINALLY!

Logic...

(Anonymous) 2003-06-17 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
*snort* I'll adhere to logic, but I don't write logically. Now isn't that weird...

And Icka, if I actually went on a trip like that with you and Magik, I wouldn't bother protesting...1) It'd probably do no good (and it's not like I DON'T want to see abandoned shrines, either ^_^), and 2) Magik'll whack me on her head with her Patented Sketchbook of Doom or something. ¬_¬

cute pics

Cute pictures as always. I like the nap time one. "How come Heiji's not in the snuggle bunch?" Conan: "He does kendo in his sleep."

I've finally had to get a LJ just so I can run around and comment on everyone else's LJ without having to sign my name at the bottom.
