[Conan beams. Pure, unadulterated, cheerfulness might not be enough to distract from the drab, gloomy interior of Hel's hall, but he's trying hard.]

Ne -- I was thinking! I've heard a lot of people wondering why we were here -- not the reason in the letter. Why us and not anyone else! So that got me thinking -- maybe we'll find out the answer sooner if we ask questions to a lot of people at once!

I've got one for everyone -- sorry if it's a bit weird, but try and answer the best you can, okay? I bet it'll be useful in the long run. Anyway -- how important are you in your world?

I'll be waiting for your answer -- thank you!

[And clicking the feed off, Conan lets out a sigh, massaging sore cheek muscles. Tch ... this better work ... ]

[There's one fatal flaw to this method of inquiry, Conan.

That is that important to the world and important to the story are two separate things.]

Not important in the slightest bit.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Hush, investigating is part of the fun!]

Not at all? Wouldn't your friends and familiy disagree?

[oh, this kid seems sharp. he's one to keep an eye on, isn't he...not that Hanbei of all people is about to make snap judgments based on apparent age, considering he's thirtyish and looks fourteen himself.]

How important...mm, good question!

At least one person from the relative future recognized my name, so I suppose that must count for something.

video.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Relative future?

Wow, I guess that's got to be pretty important! What's your name?

video

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Totally important! Without me and the other Freedom Fighters, Mobius'd be history!

[Or at least a polluted wasteland. Yuck.]

[ ... hedgehog. Blue hedgehog.

Never let it be said that Conan's observational skills were subpar.]

... that does ... sound really important -- I guess that'd make you a general or something?

[Hedgehog.]

[therangerking.livejournal.com]

A man asked a similar question, if those here have 'saved the world' before.

voice.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Saved the world before, huh? I should look him up!

Ne, do you remember his name, Aragorn-san?

[video]

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

Hello. [He's certainly not adverse to helping someone with an inquiry.]

I wouldn't say I have any great significance where the world as a whole is concerned, but I am proud to serve the people of Sternbild City as a judge, and I hope I serve them well.

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

A judge ... ? That's a pretty important job!

What's Sternbild City like?

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

My, that's an interesting theory! Out of curiosity, though, how important are you where you're from? You're the youngest I've seen here so far.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah, I wouldn't say I'm that important -- but Uncle is! He's the most famous detective in Japan.

What about you?

[vacationisalie.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'm important at all, not really. [In the grand scheme of things? He's still pretty sure he's dead back home. A dead highschool student who has weird dreams and hallucinations probably isn't all that important.]

[Even if they are the 'Keyblade's Chosen One', or whatever.]

I think I look like someone who's important though.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Look like someone whose important ... ? Huh ...

Do you ever get confused?

[hitouch.livejournal.com]

[omg look at this adorable little boy. He sounds so smart, but he looks young enough to be one of Yayoi's little brothers! This puts a big smile on Yayoi's face.]

Hm... I'm actually an idol, so I'm kind of well known in Japan! Maybe that counts as important? I'm not the only one, either, so I bet that's it. I never even thought about that!

video

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Hah, I know Uncle would consider an idol important! You sing, Oneechan?

[video]

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

[You get some of the upper torso, neck, and maybe a glimpse of the face of this person. His entire posture is kind of stiff, though who knows whether it's because of the question being answered or if he's just that much of a stick in the mud.]

I am nothing more than a servant.

[He leaves it at that. He's got his own ideas about why he's here, but those aren't ones he's willing to share. He's also a little skeptical about how this will go with such a... small and smiley person in charge.

Then again, maybe people will be more comfortable with a small child nosing around in their business, who knows.]

... Will you report the result of your investigation at a later date?

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Of course! If I get enough data to have a theory, I'll need everyone to tell me if it's right or not!

[Besides, you can't great detective without an audience.]

Ne ... are you a servant to someone important?

video

[volcanoes]

Important enough.

[He isn't particularly talkative, obviously.]

video

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Clearly!]

Ne ... can I ask what that means?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

I, um... I wasn't important at all, but I had to do something important. Does that make sense?

[A curious, slightly edgy look.]

How old are you?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I think so ... but maybe you should tell me a bit more to be sure!

[... Here we go.] Seven, Oneesan!

[audio]

[needsnarration.livejournal.com]

I guess you could say I'm relatively important. ['Considering that I have to deal with Haruhi's antics, though I honestly don't think that I'm important enough to be sent to this kind of place.']

[audio]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Relatively important -- how does that work, Oniisan?

[designated-hero.livejournal.com]

Important? Are you suggesting we were targeted because of our status?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to figure that out Oniisan! It makes sense that we'd be chosen for a reason -- and then there's the question of how we were noticed to start with!

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

What an interesting theory.

But I wouldn't say I'm important.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't? Why's that?

[video]

[classifidol]

I can hardly judge my own importance, Conan. I can only hope to leave a positive impression on those whom I am fortunate enough to encounter.

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

But you're important enough that your background is top-secret, right?

[roadstotheriver.livejournal.com]

[Lirael is at odds on how to reply: first, she knows she, as a person, is not important at all. Second, she knows that her job is extremely important, no matter how new she is to it, and she's uncertain just how important her own presence is. So, since this is Conan and he's (kind of) a friend, she just says both.]

My job is important. I'm not so sure about me, specifically, but I don't know if I can be easily replaced in my work, either.

[Text]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that counts Lirael-san! Ne, I met someone who has a sister who sees and lays ghosts. Pretty coincidental, don't you think?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

[A soft chuckle.] Someone else asked a similar question a few days ago--I guess we're all thinking along the same lines.

[Video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

'Have you ever saved the world' -- that question, right? Aragorn-san told me.

Do you remember who asked the question? I want to meet them!

[eagledheart]

My name is Natsuhi Ushiromiya, and I am the wife of the successor of an extremely wealthy Japanese family, so I would have to say I am somewhat important, by association if nothing else.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Ushiromiya-san!

I think important by association counts -- we've got a few of those! Ne, can I ask what your family does?

[designerchild]

Ohhh, I think I see where you're going with this, kid.

[ While Jr. isn't one to be modest, it still feels awkward to talk about his importance. ]

Gonna be perfectly honest here; I played a pretty big part back home.

[ In what, however, he doesn't feel comfortable disclosing. ]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ha, you've been thinking about this too, huh? What's your opinion?

A big part?

[video]

[powerforfriends.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call myself important... but you could say my... occupation is pretty important in the grand scheme of things.

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Someone else with an important job? You're not alone there!

What do you do?
