[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 ... ]

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, ...?

My family was involved in a diverse selection of financial matters. My husband specifically was an investor, primarily in real estate, his sister Eva's husband runs a chain of fast food restaurants, his brother Rudolph had his fingers in various business dealings, and his youngest sister Rosa ran a fashion design company.

Ah, sorry! I'm Edogawa Conan.

That's pretty diverse all right! Everyone pursued the direction that most interested them?

[eagledheart]

That's right, Edogawa-kun.

Were you pretty busy entertaining then?

Well, the head family of the Ushiromiyas lived on a small private island near Niijima, so business discussions with those outside the family usually took place on the mainland. But I did have to oversee the running of the household, as well as prepare for any visits by my husband's siblings. The most important of those is a family conference held every year where the siblings all come together to discuss financial plans with each other and Father.

So your connections would be limited to family members rather than business associates?

[eagledheart]

Yes, for the most part. I did accompany my husband on his business trips sometimes, so I have some familiarity with his business partners, but little with those of his siblings.

Would you say you have any special skills?

[eagledheart]

Yes, I would. To run such a household, I needed to manage a number of servants as well as have excellent organizational and planning skills.

[Not to mention the efforts she had to make to maintain the magic that kept Kinzo alive, but that wasn't something she could speak of openly.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. Thanks a lot, Ushiromiya-san!

[eagledheart]

You're welcome, Edogawa-kun. Hopefully the answers you get will help you figure out why the gods here selected those they did.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I hope so too ... If we can figure that out, we can figure out what they want us to do.
