First Deduction

[modernholmes]

 [Shinichi cautiously follows the signs of disturbance in the castle's corridors.    He still didn't have enough evidence to figure out this situation with any certainty.  Obviously this was a kidnapping.  But so far he had found nothing that hinted as to the identity of the culprits or the motive.  Beyond the box he had found himself in upon waking there had been no sign of any attempts to control his movements.

He needed more information.

Eventually he enters the living area and nods to himself at the signs of inhabitance.  As expected from what he had observed in the corridors.  Someone had been using them recently to navigate this castle.  This looked to be the source.  Casting his eyes across the people in the room, he purposefully approaches a likely candidate.]

Excuse me, may I have a moment of your time?

It's quite a mystery. Whoever rules over this place has the ability to draw in people from different worlds and times, as well as send us a proportionate amount of food and shelter.

[modernholmes]

Interesting. That would imply the culprits have an interest in keeping us alive.

What do you mean by different worlds and times?

[oversmiling]

It does seem that way. [he smiles instead of elaborating further, his voice light.]

What else could I mean?

[modernholmes]

That is what I would like to figure out.

Then I'm afraid I'm not certain what you're asking.
