[Luckily for....most of Asgard, Ramirez expended most of his initial panic harassing a maid impervious to damage, so when he actually sits down and responds to the network he is fairly calm. He's trying hard to keep that impending sense of panic and claustrophobia under control. Because Lord Galcian wouldn't panic in a situation as meager as this. Panic was weakness and Ramirez would rather die than return to Lord Galcian with that kind of disgrace on his shoulders.

It's not often he finds himself so helpless and out of his element. The last time something of this magnitude had happened to him was...about seven years ago, when he first saw Arcadia with his own eyes.

He'd rather not think about those times. His own naivete made him sick. Instead, he focuses on addressing the community at large in his usual no-nonsense tone...though there seems to be a rather hoarse, stifled quality to it this time.]

I've no interest in assisting this world, but it appears as though my options are limited for now.

Explain this city. And if--

[Whatever else he was planning to say is cut off by a series of wet, miserable coughs that last up until the feed shuts off. Guess who didn't take kindly to his House snowman asking for a smile.]

Ooh, tsk tsk, seems someone was unkind to one of the icy ones.

[ Merrill gives a slightly smug - but friendly - grin. ]

[Your friendly grin is returned by a not-so-friendly glare.]

What.

[Somehow, this head cold is simultaneously making him more irritable and taking his claws out]

The city, Asgard, is divided into 9 districts with the castle we woke up in when we arrived here in the centre. There's a Welcome Hall in each one, and a different god is the patron of each.

[Well. It checks out with what that creepy maid said, at least.]

Is that all you have to say?

It would seem like each of our patron... deities has given us a new set of abilities. I'm not entirely-- [He cuts off, his attention diverted by the coughing.]

...Are you all right?

[GIVE HIM A MINUTE-- actually, no, this isn't getting any better and he just sounds pathetic.]

We're all new arrivals much like yourself, Oniisan! We haven't had the chance to more extensive research yet.

[Okay, so the text function in these things still a little complicated for him, but he can read it.] If you're certain...

I'm not entirely sure what all of these abilities are. I haven't used mine yet either, but some of the others have. If you saw a woman when you woke up too, she might have told you something about them as well?

[Oniisan what the fuck is that--

But interesting. Apparently, he's only part of a first batch of guinea pigs. That in itself is more information than he retrieved earlier. He'll keep his irritation down for now.]

Then tell me the date of the earliest arrival.

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

The earliest arrival? I think that would be ... eight days ago now?

[Well he's going to stubbornly use it until his coughing goes down to a reasonable rate. :(]

[Not much else is given on his end. Ramirez doesn't particularly want to give out any information that could put him at a disadvantage to a bunch of strangers.]

[video]

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

I see.

You. How long have you been here?

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

My name is Edogawa Conan, Oniisan!

This is my fifth day here, now.

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[....Again with the-]

Is that supposed to be some sort of title?

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Where I'm from, it's the polite way to call a man older than you whose name you don't know.

[video]

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

Ramirez. Vice-Captain to Lord Galcian of the Valuan Armada, not that the name would mean anything here. [And all the more pitiable for it. This world's chances was already zero.]

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ramirez-san. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I've never heard of Valua, but Armada-- that's a fleet?

video.

[lightinheritor.livejournal.com]

[What you get for not smiling, man. :( He nods, smiling somewhat sheepishly.]

Aside from everything with the gods... I suppose we're all still trying to figure out what's really going on.

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Join the club! And bless you. [They're grinning fiendishly, even if the man didn't exactly sneeze. They know he'll be doing it eventually!]

[video]

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[God this stupid kid, he can't even get his name right the first time]

Ramirez, y-- [Oh, look at that, another violent coughing fit. Stop working yourself up over stupid shit, Ramirez. By the time he finishes he just doesn't care enough to continue correcting him.]

Yes. It is.

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

A naval fleet. Are you a peace-keeping force or are you more active militarily?

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[What, his face would probably make a creaking noise if he tried. :/]



[There's that familiar spark of anger and panic that jolts down his spine, but he pushes it aside. Weakness.]

[video]

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[Honestly he hates everything about the Valuan military, barring Lord Galcian. And this time, his bitterness shows.]

Valua's Empress only cares about her own personal gain. Take from that what you will.

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[Are you making fun of him. :| He just settles for glaring daggers at the video screen.]

I'm fine. [Look at that grin, you are totally trying to get his goat. HE'S NOT FALLING FOR IT.]
