[This time, Conan's sitting at the desk in his room. The desk is too high for him, so he's comandeered a couple of cushions from the Hel living room sofa to prop himself up. He's got his notebook in front of him, and is sitting pertly at his desk, every inch the little kid playing at being important. The cheery wave, kind of undoes that impression a little, but even that is intentional -- there's a very fine line between precocious child and what the heck, and Conan is trying his best not to be obvious.]

Remember I asked everyone three days ago if they were important to their world? A couple of people asked me to share what answers I got but then there were snowmen and I kind of got a little distracted but I'm ready now! Um, these are just the trends I noticed, so if you know something that'd contradict them, help us out by telling us! Any theories or plans we make here are only as good as our data!

So um -- most of the people brought here by the gods consider themselves important to that world. Of that group, I noticed there were lots of people who described themselves as members or commanders of armies, armadas or peacekeepers -- which for the small group I interviewed was kind of a surprise! We also have a few celebrities, particularly in entertainment! I guess it's not difficult to see how they'd get our captors' attention ...

There was a second group of people who had connections to someone or something important in their world! I noticed that the majority of members of this group used their skills to help out the important person or thing, so it might be that experience that caught the attention of our hosts!

There was only one person who didn't consider themselves important or have any connections to anything important -- Not-important-niichan, you forgot to introduce yourself properly! Tell me your name, okay? And everyone else I haven't talked to yet! It'd help us a lot!

Also, I think it'd be a good idea to make a list of people comfortable with the technology in the halls and those who need a teacher! Maybe if you need help you can reply saying what house you're in, what you'd like explained, and what skills you have, and people who can help can reply saying what they can do and what they're curious about, and we might be able to match people up! I think it'd be a good idea, anyway, before someone electrocutes themselves.

And what was the last thing ... oh, right! Tell us what welcome hall you're staying in too! Thank you!

I'm... not very good with the technology yet, so if someone could help me... I'm in Sigyn-sama's house.

Are there... are there really that many important people here?

[Video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Sigyn-sama's house -- got it! Ne, what's your name?

It sure looks like it! We won't know for sure until everyone replies though.

What about you?

I wouldn't mind helping you out, if you don't mind a bit of a wait.

[functionals.livejournal.com]

Not a very deep analysis, but it will have to do with the lack of information. It seems that these gods are not keen on informing us a lot, expecting us to mindlessly follow.

[he did notice though, the intentional gestures that he did]

So this is what you do to get the attention of the adults?

[Blunt identification of the weak points of Conan's presentation, thoughtful analysis, remarking on Conan's act--

It's like this guy's a detective or somethin--]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Okay, okay -- be cool. Calm. A detective -- you're the Heisei Holmes, remember. The best detective in Eastern Japan. Deep breaths.]

done!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah -- I'm sure you'll do a much better job of analysis, Holmes-sensei!

[snugglesjugs.livejournal.com]

Techonology, I've never really heard of that before, is it important?


I'm in Freyr house. Before I came here, people said I was pretty important but I'm still sort of confusing about it.

[Video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

... only slightly. It's -- the word to describe the machines in the welcome hall you're in.

Freyr, huh? Ne, why did people say you were important?

[eluvish.livejournal.com]

video.

Why, Conan, you're quite good at collecting information!

[ better than her, at least. ]

Do you consider yourself 'important' as well? [ said mostly to humor him. ]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Merril-san! Do you have anything to add?

Ah, not me! I'm in the category of 'connected to someone important' ...

[huntedfang.livejournal.com]

[Well. He didn't expect the kid to find him so interesting, really.]

If it means you never calling me that again, I suppose I can introduce myself...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

It's a deal.

[takebow]

...So you think they took people who were able to do important things in their worlds, because they thought they might be able to do the same thing here?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

video;

That's one possibility! Or it could just be that the important people were noticed 'cause important people tend to stand out!

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

I can't really say I helped Sis. She was more the one always helping me.

As for the next question, I'm not bad with technology, but I'll admit that I never did anything particularly advanced with it either. Still, I wouldn't mind teaching anyone what I know.

...Should I do another introduction, Conan-kun?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected! Though Ayumi-neechan seems plenty helpful to me!

If you'd like to -- actually, there's someone here who might need help already!

((Hibiki up there -- have Ayumi and Hibiki threaded before?))

[video]

[hato-maru.livejournal.com]

[Man, she did not even listen to like. Half of that.]

What the heck, that can't be right. If these guys are looking for important people, they seriously messed up somewhere.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

You don't consider yourself important, Oneechan?

[aeterno_arma]

I'm not really familiar with the technology of this place. and I in Sigyn's house, Conan-kun. and it seems to be people trapped int eh magic mirror of our living room. [He means the Tv :|]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Sigyn? But--

Ne, did I see you make a flower bloom, Laurent-niichan?

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

...Are you talkin' to me? I'm the only guy who ain't like a king or commander or somethin'? Are you serious?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Nope! You told me your name, remember Johnny-san?

[clearwater]

Wow, you're just on top of this stuff, huh?

[dang conan you are one smart kid (as far as seth knows, anyway).]

I'm kinda late, but I'll add my name to the list of people who aren't really that important to their world. I mean, I'm important to my tribe, but in the grand scheme of things... not so much.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Not as much as I'd like to be, Seth-niichan!

You might be important in another way -- I mean, werewolves have got to be pretty rare, right? And you told me that your tribe considers you a sort of guardian ...

[forrade.livejournal.com]

Kidnapping isn't really all that new for Asgard.

[Funny thing, him saying this.]

You've conducted this series of questions recently, I assume?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

You've got prior knowledge of the Norse gods?

That's right!

[video] oh right he switched Houses since last they talked pffhahahahaa

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

At least the snowpeople were only here for a short time, though they did make themselves felt.

[He's still a little bitter about them. Even though they did liven up the city a little; going back to only the spirits is a little creepier after all that.]

... Thank you for your efforts -- it seems like your theory about 'people who are important directly or indirectly' may not be too far off the mark after all. [He's not entirely sure how much the knowledge will help with practical matters, but it's an interesting look at the 'gods', at least.]

The technology is, for the most part, unlike anything in my homeland. What does it mean, to 'electrocute' yourself?

[video] /o/

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah, I might have spoken too soon! More people are coming forward without connections to anything or anyone important in their world, so I might have to go back to the drawing board!

... let's see ... Well, most of the machines are powered by something called electricity. It's what allows them to work, an energy that we're able to harness through the machines. However, if you engage with it directly without proper protection, then you could electrocute yourself -- that's when the raw power of the energy is able to hurt you.

[It took him a while to suck it up and respond to this.]

If you can find anybody residing in Odin who can teach me how to use the... things here, it would be appreciated.

voice;

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Another for Odin ... Conan is jealous.]

I'll do my best! Ne, what's your name, Oniisan?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

... were you in a gifted class back home, Conan?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

1-B was described as special ... but I don't think that's what they meant.
