Ah -- good morning, Asgard! I guess things are back to normal now, huh? That's a relief -- it was pretty scary for a while. I -- oh, you're done with your statement already?

[Conan's making this broadcast from the steps of the hospital, the broad doors with people coming in and out in the background. This Asgard citizen who stops to exchange a greeting with him may look familiar to anyone who saw this post as the corpse in question. Conan waves him off with a bemused smile.]

I've seen a lot of cases, but this is the first time where a murder victim has returned to make a statement! Ah, and good news -- Thea-san's back too! She's just fine, only she doesn't remember anything about what happened. It's a relief to see that this time, it's not just Travellers but Citizens being brought back! I wonder what makes this time so different ... ?

Ah, but that's not exactly right, is it? [Conan's expression shifted to one rather more solemn.] Ne, if you've seen Nakama-neechan and Hibiki-chan's posts then you already know, not everyone is back. Larry-san is also missing and I'm wondering if maybe there's more we don't know about yet. Please check in with your friends and the people at your workplace or favourite restaurant and let us know! It could be important.

Ah, and when I say 'us' I mean the Forensics Unit! We're based in the hospital, but we look into anything weird that happens here. Most of the time we look at suspicious deaths or accidents, things like that, but we also want to investigate things on a wider scale. If you are interested in research and want to help people, please feel free to stop by the hospital laboratory to see what we do, or ask me questions any time! We're currently looking for new recruits.

And on that note, I hope everyone made good use of the emergency kits located in the Welcome Halls and most of the shelters! Especially the candles! [Take that, 'art'.] Seth-niichan and a lot of volunteers helped out putting those together and distributing them for everyone ... Most of them have gone home now, Seth-niichan too ... but I want to keep restocking the kits and making new ones. For that, I'm looking for someone who could be my partner in making the emergency kits, and even take over in case something happened to me.

-- ah, that got kind of long didn't it? Sorry! I didn't mean to talk so much. I'll do better next time!

[And with an awkward wave, Conan cuts the feed.]

ETA: ((ooc: Apologies! There was an information mix-up oocly, and as it turns out NPCs killed in the Darkness event stayed dead. Since Conan's a bright enough cookie to know the difference between a dead murder victim and an alive one, I am hoping that you will all be kind enough to overlook the part of this post/Conan's threads where he references the NPC. Thanks in advance! <3 ))

[This had been nagging her for a while. Samantha was not about to admit to what had happened to Daryl. She still felt beyond wretched about the whole affair. She'd gone back once and looked, from a distance, at where his home was supposed to be. It had changed hands by then, and none seemed the wiser. She'd decided it best not to go any further in looking into the incident.

But, knowing that she actually liked Conan a little and didn't mind the kid's company, she wasn't exactly surprised to hear that he was involved in something like this. It made her wonder how much of a police force there really was here. She hadn't had an episode yet, though there'd been a close call or two, but some questions wanted answers...]

I've been meaning to ask you something, Conan. How much of a legal system is there here, really? The locals seem to be rebuilding it, but it's kind of unclear, especially with how we fit in. Is there really one?

A legal system, Samantha-san? There isn't one.

When you say 'the locals seem to be rebuilding it,' what do you mean by that?

How useful would Telepathy be for your group?

[Permanent Filtered Anon Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

It would definitely be useful, but whether we'd be able to use it is another thing entirely.

Are you interested in helping? If so, what do you have in mind?

[queenoftheforlornheart]

I'm glad to hear that you are fine Conan. It's a relief to be quite honest and I've checked up on most of the people I know.

However... You were right with what you said, this time it felt odd. Did anyone document the event extensively? I know it's not easy to ask considering the circumstances, but the better we understand a situation, the better equipped we can be for others.

[Audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

Mm! Thank you for looking out for me, Bridget-san!

That's not a bad thought. We should collect people's accounts of what happened and take our accounts to Wake-san.

[integrous]

.. So everyone will be fine again? Even after everything that happened?

[ asahi saw someone die, so she's still a little shaken up because of that - her voice is a little more quiet than usually. ]

voice;

[holmes_fanatic]

Maybe not fine, but I think they'll be back.

Is Asahi-neechan okay?

[video]

[thismustbelove]

It certainly was a strange few days, wasn't it? I don't really have any friends to check in on, so how are you, Conan?

[Look, he's being friendly. And, like always, he hardly seems phased at all. Oops.]

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

I'm all right -- as I can see Legault-san is!

[Friendly Legault is a little weird.]

[audio]

[nukeoleptic]

A forensics unit? That's a pretty good idea, Conan.

[audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah, I didn't think of it! Not exactly ... It sort of happened.

Jade-neechan's okay? Has she checked in with her friends already?

voice.

[doomfire]

I can help with the emergency kits.

[ back to business again. that's how he always is, this one. ]

voice.

[holmes_fanatic]

[And it's a relief to hear the practical statement, know that O'Brien is, if not back to normal, getting on with that process.]

Thank you! It's a big job -- first there is going around and gathering donations from businesses in Asgard, or recruiting volunteers with drawing life to help make supplies. Then we have to assemble the kits and distribute them -- we ask for volunteers for those phases too.

[lookingfordragon]

Someone was killed?
And they came back...?

[Video]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's not the first time it's happened here -- for Travellers, at least.

This is the first time that an Asgard citizen has returned.

[candybars]

The hospital, huh... [ no ethan it's a little different than a pokemon center... ] Those emergency kits were really helpful.

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah, I'm really glad to hear that!

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

video.

[considerate]

[well there's some relief..] Good to see you're doing okay, Conan.

I don't know if I'll be much help for the Forensics Unit, though it does sound interesting. But if you need any help I'd be happy to assist in any way I can.

video.

[holmes_fanatic]

Mm! I'm glad to see you too, Touya-niichan!

Ne ... if you're not sure about the Forensics Unit, there's lots of different things you can do to help! What does Touya-niichan like doing? What is he best at?

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

I-I have seen their posts... it looks like the attack did claim some permanent victims.

I'm still here, and my closest friends are still around... I'm trying to contact everyone I know on the bracelet. [ She's not going to stick her nose out of her room for a while long. ]

[Audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

Hanako-neechan!

[This is a very relieved Conan. Hanako's name might have still been on the list but being in the city didn't guarantee someone was all right.]

I hope you hear back from your friends quickly!

When you say 'permanent victims' you mean the Travellers that are missing? You don't know of any Citizens that have been lost?

video;

[deputychief]

Do you think you really will do better next time, Edogawa-san? In fact, your previous posts' average is significantly longer.

[grinning, and not addressing issues just yet.]

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

[Did he really go and check that?]

H-hey! I'm working on it at least!

[circuses]

Larry's gone?

...Do you think that's because of the dark?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

I don't know, Regina-neechan. It could just be coincidence ... and whether it's connected or not, there's no reason to assume that he didn't return home.

[Video | Private]

[damnidjits]

Natives comin' back now? You think it's got somethin' to do with the Darkness?

[Video | Private]

[holmes_fanatic]

Maybe less the Darkness itself, more the nature of what happened here?

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[corona]

I'm glad you're okay, Conan.

where did you spend the last few days? [ is that it??? you're wasting pixels!! ]

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[holmes_fanatic]

Rapunzel-san! I'm glad to hear from you.

I was at the library most of it. You?

((ooc: Apologies! There was an information mix-up oocly, and it turns out that NPCs killed during the Darkness Event didn't come back! Please ignore that part of the post.))
