I'm sure everyone's noticed that the gods are playing games again. Thanks to Freyr's post, we don't have to wonder too much about who is responsible. We've still got a lot to learn about what's going on.

Discussion:

1) Do you perceive yourself to be drawn more towards certain people or certain types of people than others?
2) How would you categorise the force of the hugs?
3) Has this case changed how you feel about hugs? (If so, please elaborate.)
4) Has this case changed how you feel about the gods? (If so, please elaborate.)
5. Has this case changed how you feel about your fellow Asgard citizens? (If so, please elaborate.)

Please respond with any information you'd like to share. If you want to respond anonymously or privately that's fine but your honest feedback would be appreciated. Also let me know if you have a question you'd like added.

We can't work like this. I'm giving the department time off until this thing is finished. Enjoy.

Yes. I have remained in my quarters at all times. I leave only when it is essential.

Not a problem, glad to help out!

[For an actual conversation, he'd rather be face to face--or just his face, if the other person doesn't want to show theirs. So he switches to video]

No, guess not! The name's Zack Fair, the house is Heimdall.

Tell me about it! I'm exhausted.

Did you hug a lot of people too? It's a lot more tiring if you try to resist, right?

[Conan reluctantly follows the shift to video. He's not in the mood for face-to-face chat, but he didn't hug this guy so he's got no reason to feel embarrassed.]

Nice to meet you, Zack-san! I'm Edogawa Conan. I'm in Hel, but I live in a house in Heimdall now!

I hope that your plan continues to be successful!

Ne ... I don't think we've talked before?

[She takes a moment to glance at the name listed on the network: Conan Edogawa. An entirely foreign name to her.]

Yes. That's correct.

Mm, mm! They might be useful for future reference too!

I don't know about that.

I'm sorry, though I can understand the feeling.

Sebastian Moran.

[holmes_fanatic]

You don't have to apologise for that!

Did you make progress with your experiments?

[ text ]

[holmes_fanatic]

I hugged a lot of people, yeah. And was hugged ... It was less tiring when I wasn't resisting, but resisting didn't seem to have any effect in the end.

[holmes_fanatic]

That's right. I don't think this is the last game the gods are going to play with us, that's for sure.

[!!!]

Colonel Sebastian Moran?

[zothiquekey]

...Yes. However, I am female.

[She's assuming he's met the other Sebastian, hence his surprise.]

[respectus]

[ duly noting that he's been -kun'd!! ]

Never had one before. Gonna have to figure it out.

[holmes_fanatic]

Female. I -- guess it must be pretty weird that you need to specify that!

[holmes_fanatic]

I'll expect a full report later.

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

Freyr asked that? he's my patron.

when I got here I was told that the gods were malevolent but nothing I've seen since I've been here has really reinforced that. especially hugging. that doesn't seem very bad at all.

[respectus]

Do I get overtime?

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[holmes_fanatic]

He did! Hang on a second ... Here is is!

I wouldn't be so sure of that! Hugging's a nice gesture, but for some people having their own bodies betray them into doing something they don't want to is really scary. Other people feel like this is a betrayal of their belief that Freyr cared about our answers and listened to us, or that forcing people to hug makes it less special.

[holmes_fanatic]

If I have to explain it's a joke, I guess it's not a good one, huh.

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[corona]

[ It takes her quite a long while to respond; she hadn't considered any of that.

And now she feels like a fool for it. ]

you're right. I hadn't thought of it that way at all.

[respectus]

Yeah, probably.

What bout you?
