[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!

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?

If there is anyone else from my world, I have not found them yet...

I don't think that would make me unusual, either. Misaki-san can't use magic like me, but she knows much more about it than almost anyone else at the school... If anyone, it should have been her instead.

I wonder if it's because you don't know a lot that you're here? If you already know a lot about magic it might make it harder to use the power you're given here ...

[She tilts her head to the side in thought.]

...Do you think it could really make it that much harder? Misaki-san always seemed like the type of person who could do anything she puts her mind to.

I'm just theorising, Hibiki-neechan! I don't know enough about how magic works here yet to know at all!

Oh! Of course. Silly me.

Although... I do not know how magic works here at all, either. I wonder if it is anything like home...?

You haven't found your power yet?

[She shakes her head.]

I know I have it, but... I haven't used it yet.

Do you know what it is?

[There's a bit of a pause.]

I was told it was... healing.

Ne, Sigyn's house has more than the one power!

...! It does?

[She's trying to remember if the maid explained that to her. Somehow, she's got the feeling the maid explained quite a bit more than she can actually recall...]

I saw a boy in Sigyn make a flower bloom!

Really? Wow... That kind of a power would make everything so pretty...

Either ability would be really nice!

Yes! They both sound wonderful.

What about you? Do you know what your ability is?

Ah -- it's nothing so exciting!

It... isn't?

[But powers in general are exciting... Does that mean he didn't get a very good one?]

Nope! In fact, I'd give it back if I could.

Is it... something bad...?

It's just --

I made a guy sit down by thinking about it.

E...

-Ehhhhhhhh?! That is possible?!

Apparently?

[Despite his best efforts, Conan is -- still weirded out about this.]

Th-that's...

[...Well, strange. But it's not really his fault, and it seems too harsh anyhow, so give her a moment to come up with a better word for it.

...

Aaaaaany minute now...]
