[The feed lurches disconcertingly. Sheets, ceiling, a rather plain wall, a stack of books, all follow each other in rapid and confusing succession until with an intake of breath, the flailing stops and the feed settles into a child's hand grasping the edge of that sheet; the shadow of a sitting up figure projected onto the wall beyond.]

... back here. A dream?

[Too vivid, too real for that. The shadow shifts, hand going to its head as a deep breath is taken. It's a hard transition to make, almost feeling like he's losing Tokyo and everything there all over ag--]

What the--

[The bracelet gets jolted wildly as Conan explores his hair. It gets in the way and is roughly discarded onto the bed, giving a much clearer view of a pale seven-year-old, methodically working his way through his fringe -- what's left of it. There's a patch been shaved off either temple, and something taped onto it with medical tape.]

Doesn't hurt -- a sensor? But that should mean --

[Not wasting any time, Conan slips out of the bed. He's been dressed in a man's shirt, as big on him as a hospital gown, a fact which gives him a moment's pause, but he's undeterred, rolling up the sleeves before turning to pick up his bracelet again -- and making another discovery. What he thought was a bed was a --]

Coffee table.

Looking for this?

[Conan turns to look at Sherlock, standing in the door way, smartphone in hand. Conan doesn't bother with a greeting, making his unsteady way over to snatch at the smartphone. Sherlock lets him, expression simply distant.]

Monitor higher brain functions ... ? Ha, there's an app for everything.

[Sherlock might be looking as unamused as ever, but a new face makes it's way around the door, with an expression that is clearly more welcoming.]

Conan! You're finally back with us?

John's glad. He was complaining that you were unsanitary.

[Conan's clearly not sure how to react.] Why the coffee table? Couldn't you have monitored me from my room -- o-oi-oi!

Don't get excited -- your bracelet. [Ignoring Conan's protests, Sherlock's casually taken hold of his arm and is reaching for the button that will end the feed.] You're broadcas--

[And cut.]

((ooc: Sherlock, John and Conan -- who is going to be doing most of the responses to this post! Finally back after his canon update sleep /o/ ))

[A very serious Satellizer comes into view as the feed starts.]

Conan! Are you alright? Do you need assistance? Where are you?

[Satella was hoping she didn't read into the situation the wrong way... The others seemed to be helping him? Or his captors... which was it?]

[It's a little disconcerting going from the situation he woke up in, to being hailed by so many people over the bracelet. It's a few seconds before Conan responds, opening the video feed. He's still in the shirt he woke up in, but he's got a glass of orange juice and is sitting down at the kitchen table.]

Ah -- I'm fine! You don't have to worry about me, Bridget-san!

[Satella visibly frowned. It took a few moments, but she eventually looked more at ease after letting out a small breath.]

I... that is good. I just... I suppose I assumed wrong. Are you well? What happened?

Ah -- I think given the circumstances, it's an easy mistake to make! Not a lot of people have heard about the dreaming ... and Sherlock-sensei isn't really bothered by what people think ...

I guess I just fell asleep -- for me it was like being home again, right from the moment I left off and came here! I didn't remember Asgard at all, and I just went through my normal life -- until I woke up and realised I was here again!

Sherlock-sensei wanted to find out if when we see when we sleep is really happening to us or just a dream.

I... see. [Kind of?]

Well... I'm just glad to know you are okay.

[She visibly fidgets a little, a bit of red on her face.]

I, well... if you need any assistance, please, don't hesitate to ask.

Ah -- thank you, Bridget-san!

Ne -- has anything happened while I was sleeping? I've missed about a week or so ...

I can't say that I'd be the best to answer that... There's been a few things yes, but considering I'm still trying to understand everything, it'd be best to ask someone who knows more about this place.

A few of the... gods, [She still was having difficulty accepting this fact.] made some announcements. One of them being the 'completion' of our goal here and then that announcement being debunked by another.

[Satella shakes her head.] This place takes getting used to I'm afraid... I wish I could be of better help.

Ha -- that was a trick? [A cruel trick -- but not as cruel as the gods other crimes.]

It's okay! I know what this place is like! I'm just glad that Bridget-san's settling in.

Seems that way.

And I am, slowly but surely. I've met a few people, some not so kind, some overly kind. It's... an interesting place for certain.

Ah -- not so kind?

[Satellizer quickly shakes her head and keeps her gaze down.]

Don't worry yourself with it. It was nothing of importance. I would like however that you keep me updated with your status? Even if you say you are well, you didn't seem like it when the video commenced.

I will!

Ne -- have you heard anything about an exploration outside the city?

[She blinked a few times before looking away in thought.]

Now that you mention it, when the hoax was first announced, they said people could leave the gates of the city.

However I heard that those that left didn't technically leave as everyone thought they would, finding their homes, but they found a forest of sorts outside the gates instead.

A forest?

Well, sections here and there of what one might be, animals and such around it. The rest was some desolate, rocky landscape.

I wish I knew more, but I myself haven't explored outside the gates. I'm only going by the tidbits I've gathered while poking around.

I see ...

Ne, one of my friends mentioned hearing about an expedition to go out and explore a building found out there! Should I tell you if I find out who is doing it?

An expedition?

[It would certainly help in discovering and learning more about this place and her predicament. After a few moments, Satella gave a single nod.]

I would really appreciate that.

I'll let you know what I find out then!

((ooc: want to assume that Conan lets her know in time to join the exploration?))

Thank you.

((ooc: oh sure!She'll just show up a bit late haha.))
