[Cue scene!]
{It's the end of the day at Teitan Elementary School, and the Shonen Tantei Dan are ready to head home. Genta is running a little behind.}
KojimaGenta: Wha! Wait! Lemme get my food!
Ayumi: Genta-kun teba...~_~*
* KojimaGenta stumbles in with arms filled with junk food
KojimaGenta: I'm back.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Genta-kun! How rude. Getting so much food when we have a case!
* Ayumi looks at all the junk food...
Ayumi: Genta-kun, you really shouldn't eat all that...it's not good for you.
KojimaGenta: But I'm hungry... *pout*
EdogawaConan: So get an apple or something. Not *picks up a bag* Choco-munchies.
* HaibaraAi sighs
KojimaGenta: But I'm a growing boy ya know...
EdogawaConan: \Growing wider....\
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Yes, growing in a whole different sense...
Ayumi: How many bowls of rice did you eat this morning?
KojimaGenta: 10!
Ayumi: ~_~*
EdogawaConan: ~_~*
* KojimaGenta smiles victoriously
Ayumi: Um...couldn't you have brought onigiri instead of all this junk? \And maybe shared with the rest of us?\
* HaibaraAi stares
KojimaGenta: They aren't filling enough!
Ayumi: \So get some with a different filling.\ Nothing fills you up Genta-kun....
Ayumi: Ne, is there anything in the box?
* TheBox has something in it.
* TheBox does all the work around here.
* TheBox gets no respect from his colleagues, despite the fact that he is always getting them cases.
KojimaGenta: "Oh? You mean this?" He smiles widely at his box. "It's a secret!"
Ayumi: No fair! Show us!
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Heeh? But Genta-kun, isn't it more food?"
* HaibaraAi is leaning against the lockers, not really caring
KojimaGenta: "No! It's a case!" He said angrily. "Geez, I don't always talk about food...”
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: \Yes you do...\
Ayumi: \Yes you do...\
EdogawaConan: \Yes you do...\
HaibaraAi: \Yes you do...\
EdogawaConan: Well, if there's something in the box, let's see it.

KojimaGenta: "Un!" He opens the box at takes out a slip of paper.
* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] leans over to take a look
* HaibaraAi raises an eyebrow
* Ayumi crowds in to try and look.
* EdogawaConan waits for someone to read it off.
SlipOfPaper: says, "Please, come find me." Also in the box, below the note proper, is a single, six-sided die, with markings on each side.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "’Please come find me’?" He picks up the die and observes it, blinking in confusion.
EdogawaConan: Come find who?
Ayumi: That's a dice, right?
EdogawaConan: One die, two dice, Ayumi-chan.
Ayumi: Oh yeah....~_~*
Ayumi: But...what's on it?
KojimaGenta: "What's with these symbols?"
Ayumi: Romaji? No...letters?
* HaibaraAi takes a closer look.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Maybe even a name..."
* EdogawaConan is now intrigued.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: He frowns slightly. \Conan-kun's going to figure this out... I know it. I can't let him!\
HaibaraAi: English letters...
* Die has the letters A-Z-O-N-N-A.
Ayumi: Two a's, two n's, an o and a z...
Ayumi: That doesn't look like any game die Ayumi has ever seen....maybe it has the name of the person we're supposed to find?
HaibaraAi: It's most likely mixed up.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Un..." Takes out a notebook and writes down the letters.
EdogawaConan: Wouldn't be a case if it wasn't mixed up.
EdogawaConan: May I see it?
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Even if we make a word, it still doesn't tell us much...”
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Um, Conan-kun. You and Haibara-san would beat us too easily! Right? So...”
Ayumi: So let us have a turn first, OK?
KojimaGenta: "Leave it up to us! We are the tantei-dan without ya!" He says enthusiastically.
Ayumi: You can help if we get stuck.
Ayumi: Ayumi would like to look at the die, though.....please?
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Of course." Gives Ayumi the die.
Ayumi: Thanks! *looks at the die, turning it over in all directions*

Flattened version of the die she's looking at:

Ayumi: \Probably has something to do with where the letters are....\
* EdogawaConan concedes the point about letting them do it and backs off.
EdogawaConan: \She has a point, the best way to learn is by doing.\
* HaibaraAi smirk
HaibaraAi: *whispering to Conan* They really are growing up...you might not be needed around here soon enough.
EdogawaConan: *whispering back* I hope so. I want to help them, but not too much. And I do want to go home.
Ayumi: *as though to herself* The double letters are opposite each other...and the single letters are the last set of opposites....*continues studying the die*
* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] scratches his head
Ayumi: So it's o a z a....where do the n's go? *seems not to realize she's speaking aloud*
* HaibaraAi notices something
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "On the sides.. N for Next?"
Ayumi: Next what? *looks up, startled*
HaibaraAi: Ne, would you mind me saying?
Ayumi: Saying what, Ai-chan?
HaibaraAi: I'm pretty sure Oaza is an alternative way of saying -cho...
HaibaraAi: as in districts
Ayumi: So...it's nn-cho?
Ayumi: Wait, that doesn't make sense....
* Ayumi goes back to trying to puzzle it out.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Looks at the paper again. He flips it over just in case they missed something. "Ah! There is _ _ - _ with A O - N underneath!"
KojimaGenta: "Eeeh? I can't believe I missed that..." he sulked.
Ayumi: There is? *moves to get a better look at the paper*
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Oaza..." Mitsuhiko takes what Haibara said and puts it on his paper. Looks at the new puzzle on the back.
Ayumi: Nana!
Ayumi: Nana-cho! That makes it make sense!
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Looks up in surprise. "Yeah! Then we should go there.. Then maybe...” looks back at puzzle number two
HaibaraAi: Ee, indeed
EdogawaConan: So we're off to Nana-cho, then?
HaibaraAi: Do you even know where in Nana-cho?
* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] he shook his head.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "I'm sure this second puzzle gives us more of a hint"
HaibaraAi: Ne, Tsuburaya-kun? What does that format look like to you?
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "The format for address in Japan."
* HaibaraAi smiles and looks at the rest of them
HaibaraAi: Right, so now you guys just need to figure out what AO-N is, and you'll know where to go
EdogawaConan: *smiles slightly to himself, looking at the die* Maybe the number of letters have a second meaning too?
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Remembers what Ayumi said. "There's only 2 n's and 2 a's, right? And 1 z and o... Then it'd be... 21-2!"
KojimaGenta: "Eeeh? I don't believe it...” Genta proved useless and didn't get that at all.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Then that must be the address where to go, right?"
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: He looked to Haibara and Conan
EdogawaConan: So let's get going.
* HaibaraAi nods.
{Time Skip! They travel to the address they were given in the code.}
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "We are here...” Looks around.
Ayumi: So where is the person we're supposed to meet?
* ProfessorAgasa waves.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Hakase!" He smiled cheerfully
Ayumi: Hakase!
* Ayumi runs over to him.
KojimaGenta: "Ah! It was you all along? Darn... I was hoping for a real case!"
EdogawaConan: \Figures....\ *walks over to Hakase more sedately*
ProfessorAgasa: A "real case" eh?
ProfessorAgasa: Well, it certainly took you long enough to solve that one.
* ProfessorAgasa grins.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Well, it would take quicker, but we wouldn't let Conan-kun help us!" He smiled
KojimaGenta: "Yeah, we solved it by ourselves!"
Ayumi: We solved it all by ourselves!
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: \"We" you say...\
ProfessorAgasa: I was actually providing you with the address of a nice restaurant I've been wanting to try.
Ayumi: Well, Mitsuhiko-kun figured out the last bit...
HaibaraAi: They really did a good job, Hakase
Ayumi: But I got the nana-cho!
KojimaGenta: "Uwa! Really?!" His face lit up. He patted his stomach. "I'm hungry already!"
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Genta-kun..." *facepalms*
EdogawaConan: \Hakase, you're spoiling them....\
Ayumi: Genta-kun teba...~_~*
EdogawaConan: \Of course you are, Genta. You're always hungry....\
HaibaraAi: Heh...
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: "Un! Ayumi-chan was really good too!"
Ayumi: Ayumi figured out the last bit, too, but Mitsuhiko-kun got it faster...
HaibaraAi: Either way, they all deserve a prize; care to show us that restaurant, Hakase?
ProfessorAgasa: Sure, sure. Come on in.
* Ayumi follows Hakase
* EdogawaConan follows along as well, but with a bit less enthusiasm.
KojimaGenta: "Oh boy!" Rubs his stomach and follows.
* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] feels triumphant of solving most of the puzzle.
[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: \I'll be as good as Heiji-san one day!\
{Somewhere in Osaka}
* HattoriHeiji sneezes
{Back to our regularly scheduled story}
* HaibaraAi yawns, not very hungry
