[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!

Eh? How do you mean?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

Well... they hired me because I am the apprentice of a well-known magic user, but I... don't actually know magic...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

A well-known magic user -- so you'd be connected to someone important, maybe?

Is magic pretty common where you're from?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

I suppose I would... I hear he is looked to as an authority in magical circles by the rest of the magic community.

Magic can't be used by everyone, but it's used a lot to keep things running... I think.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

How did you come to meet him?

Can you give me an example?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

Well, he sort of... took me in.

And I'm not really sure about the second question...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Like -- adopted you?

Okay, um ... I got it! What kind of things does magic do in your world? Is that better?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

N-no! Like, umm... He let me stay at his house because I didn't have anywhere else to go, and he took care of me... but it wasn't really adoption.

[You. You keep telling yourself that, Hibiki.]

It can do lots of things. There are healing spells, and spells that make things, and spells to protect yourself, and spells to make homunculi...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

... that's kind of like what happened to me, except my guardian asked before dumping me.

That sounds pretty similar to--Homunculi?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

"Dumping you"--?

Umm... I don't understand them completely, but Shi-chan always called herself a living weapon. But she looks like a normal little girl to me...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

--ah, I'm just exagerrating! My parents left me with my Uncle, but he's not good with kids so he asked his neighbours to take care of me!

Did you ever see Shi-chan do anything ... weapon-like?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

Oh... So you still had someone to take care of you. That's good.

Shi-chan looked normal, but she could make weapons whenever she wanted. Sometimes it caused a lot of trouble...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Mm! Two people -- Ran-neechan and Mouri-ojichan!

Make weapons? Out of what?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

Were they nice? I know Shi-chan was, even though she did some bad things sometimes...

She made them out of the magic she was made out of, so she wasn't allowed to use her powers very much.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Very nice! Well, Ran-neechan was. If sometimes scary ... but Occhan's usually too important to be bothered by me. [Which suits Conan fine.]

Huh ... so magic can be like a material? Interesting ...

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

S-scary?

[Suddenly this doesn't sound so good after all... now she's kind of worried.]

Ah- yes. You can make things out of it, like homunculi or... or melon bread.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah, only if someone makes her mad! She's a karate champion ... you probably don't know 'karate' right?

...

We have melon bread in Tokyo! But not made from magic.

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

"Karate"...?

We have normal melon bread, too. But I once met a person who made it with magic.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's a method of fighting using only your hands and body -- no weapons! It's popular as a form of self-defence.

That sounds pretty interesting!

((ooc: Sorry for the slow reply! I lost this comment >_< ))

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

((OOC: It's fine! I've been sort of slow anyway, ahaha...))

Oh, I see! I am not sure if my home has anything like that...

And the melon bread... Well, it was a little more complicated than that. I don't think I could call it interesting after what happened.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

It originated in my country, so if you don't have a Japan, I guess that'd make sense!

[... this ... does not sound like a story with a happy ending.] Ah.

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

Ah... yes, I suppose so! It's still a little weird to think about.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

That we're all from such different places?

[saving-sound.livejournal.com]

Right! It's strange to think that nobody here knows of the city where I live, since it's the capital... but it can't be helped.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

You're the only person from your world here?

Huh -- I wonder ... could the reason you were chosen from amongst a group of magic-users is that you don't know magic? Would that make you unusual?
