[Traffic may be delayed today due to an accident on Westminster Bridge. A young man driving a 1930s-era car reportedly "came out of nowhere," lost control of his vehicle on the ice, and somehow veered into oncoming traffic. No one was hurt, but the driver, holding a white dog in his arms, seems a bit disoriented as he explains the situation to the police.]

I'm telling the truth, sir! I know it sounds mad, but I wasn't in London until a moment ago. And it wasn't... snowing.

... No, I have not been drinking!

[SAVE TINTIN PLEASE, HE'S SO CONFUSED.]

((ooc: leaving soon for Christmas Eve stuff but I will tag back after that!!))

[There's enough bystanders hanging about that Tintin doesn't notice at first, but Snowy immediately gets to barking at this newcomer. Fortunately Tintin keeps a firm hand on him.]

Snowy! Calm down, boy. - [to Conan] - There's been an accident is all. Run along.

I just saw the movie, and spent the entire time thinking these two needed to meet

[modernholmes]

[Conan peers at the scene, ignoring the attempt at deterring him with practiced ease.]

What kind of accident?

they actually call him sherlock in the comic, too, it's amazing

[babyfacedassassin]

What kind - an auto accident, of course! [Crouching down while the cop is briefly occupied with the other motorist...] Where are your parents? You'd best get on back to them, it's slippery out...

Nosy teenage boys with a talent for stumbling across danger for the win

There are many kinds of automobile accidents. It is in the details that they differ.

[The child crosses his arms behind his head and glances across the scene.]

My parents aren't here. And neither are the people who take care of me.

hey, hey, he's...... probably a little older than that... maybe............. oh who knows >_>;;

[babyfacedassassin]

[And this one's details? There's a barrier in the median, completely undamaged, so he couldn't possibly have crossed over it. And then with the skid marks, and so forth, it's pretty clear the car just appeared in the middle of the bridge, if you're open to that sort of solution.]

Well, you didn't just appear out of nowhere... [Yes, that's a loaded rhetorical statement.]

...I really can't tell. But Conan here is technically 17?

[modernholmes]

[...Not really. He's more the type to look for rational explanations in everything. But the obvious impossibility of the scene has not escaped him.]

Of course not. [Conan gives him an irritated look revealing his opinion of that comment.] I should be in Japan. A few minutes ago I found myself here through some unknown means.
