[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 ... ]

So a global corporation, huh. Your experience there might be what the gods here want -- after all, there's people here from all over the place!

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

Hmm, that's a pretty interesting theory. So maybe it's not all about who we are, but what we can contribute.

Smart.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ha, do you think so? I'm only copying what the police do when Uncle works with them on a case!

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

Really? I suppose the same logic applies to kidnappings in general, right?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Right! Usually when I get kidnapped, I know who and why right off the bat.

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

[okay, laughs] You get kidnapped that often? You must be an unlucky boy.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe not that often, but enough! Uncle says I have a knack for trouble.

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

Apparently so.

Would that make you important in your world? Although maybe a trouble magnet doesn't need a reason to get scooped up and brought to a place like this.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ha, when you but it like that ...

I think I might be in your boat. I'm not that special myself, but Uncle's a world-famous detective. I go with him on his cases, and sometimes the things I sport help him solve cases.

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see. So maybe sometimes they go for prominent people, and maybe sometimes they go for those with skills.

But why would they target famous people?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

They might associate famous with the acquisition of the skills they want ... or maybe they didn't have a lot of time to research!
