asgardeventide | OO1; ( VIDEO ) backdated to early noon 146

[ Having a good day today, Asgard? Well, it doesn't really matter if your answer to that is a 'Yes' or a 'No' because if you like the distant sound of couples arguing in the morning...

Okay you're actually out of luck because all that's going on is a debate. Something to do with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and... psychostimulants?

But now we'll have the feed clicking on to reveal this new beautiful girl with long black hair that some people might have already spoken to a little. Newer still is the messy-haired young man reading idly nearby and looking - not unhappy in his corner of the screen, but certainly like he'd be happier in a warm bed somewhere. ]

Oh, Oreki-san! It looks like it's running now!

Not a chan—

Good day, everyone! Since we are both newcomers here, I just thought it might be a good idea to introduce ourselves to everyone! My name is Chitanda Eru, currently a member of House Freya. It's nice to meet everyone!

[ She'll lean forward to turn the feed towards her companion... Only to find his face closer than ever to the book and decidedly not facing the camera. --Which naturally prompts her to give the young man beside her a nudge. ] Come on, Oreki-san, it's your turn!

[ Can't you just leave me alone?

... forget it he's going to be a champion and zero in on the vagueness of those instructions. ]

Oreki Houtarou. Or-e-ki—

Oreki-san.

[ And she chides him much like a mother would her misbehaving son... The misbehaving son, then, volleys back with the most put-upon sigh. ]

Currently a member of House Odin. Please be gentle. [ he commits okay ]

Looks like we'll have to cut that out later, Oreki-san. [ She laughs a little at the end of that. Unfortunately (or maybe not?), it looks like neither of them realize that this is a live recording... ] That being said, we are in your care! If we may be of help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Oi, Chitanda! Don't make decisions like that on your own! What is it you expect to be helping with anyway? We're still high school students. [ Come to think of it: inter-dimensional city aside, isn't the offer itself a little broad!? ]

Oreki-san, everyone's in this together. It's precisely because we're high school students that we should help others if they are in need! Otherwise, who would help us if we ever needed it?

[ Only you would wind up in a situation needing everyone's help. ]

In any case, thank you for your time, everyone. [ It was at this point that she would be reaching forward for the feed source, only to pause and lean back again when she seems to have been reminded of something.]

Oh, if anyone has any mysteries or problems you would like solved, we would like to hear about them! While a little lazy, Oreki-san here is quite brilliant at deduction in his own right. If you have heard or met Sherlock Holmes-san, both Oreki-san and I are both big fans of--

[ Excuse Oreki-san while he throws himself across the table in whatever the sluggish equivalent of a dive jump is and shuts off the bracelet thanks. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Yes, good. ]

[ now ship it more ]

Do we? This is the first I've heard of such a thing, but I'm sure we can't be compared to Sherlock Holmes-san and Watson-sensei! Still, thank you for the compliment.

[ it's already over nine thoudand. ]

Huh? Sherlock-.. ah, that famous detective, right? I don't know, isn't he just a guy from a book? No way you could hire someone who doesn't actually exist in the end!

[ but is it over nine hundred thousand? ]

Yes, that's him. He's here in Asgard, actually!

[ i don't even know man, i even misspelled thousand up there, i've already failed in my quest.. ]

.. Wait. Someone from a book.. is here in Asgard? How does that even work?!

[ it's okay you can reload from a save point!!! we have those...

right? ]

Alternate... realities, maybe? [ the whole concept is kind of mind-blowing even to her, really. ]

.. Alternate realities? [ woah, this is getting too philosophical for asahi, she's not that smart.. ]

Isn't that something you usually only hear of in anime?

Then... maybe we're now in an anime? [ or worst yet a fanfiction written by teenagers... ]

[ what is logic and where is oreki this is his job ]

What kind of ridiculous answer is that?! [ okay, no, she doesn't mean to be rude, she's just.. so.. confused.. at this point. ]

No way we're in an anime, stuff like that doesn't just happen out of nowhere! Being kidnapped by gods or whatever is one thing, but..!

I wouldn't know. [ thinks a little... ]

I had also thought the same thing about the books, but it's possible they had decided to keep a certain level of anonymity to do with their cases, by using a different author name. Doctor Watson appears to have been the one who wrote the books, if anything.

.. Fine, fine, so.. Sherlock Holmes is here in this place, even though he's just supposed to be a guy from a book, I'll just accept it. [ s i g h this is all too weird to deal with. ]

Who's going to pop up next, Doraemon?

Who knows... It might even be possible.

[ suddenly tempted to find someone with a Doraemon muse... ]

[ DON'T DO THAT JUST TO FREAK OUT ASAHI. ]

I wouldn't be able to live with that! Just imagine it, talking to Doraemon itself.. besides, no way they could keep him here, he'd just fly right out with his gadgets! It's unrealistic..! [ is that your biggest concern, asahi. ]

[ It would be fun... ]

That would be pretty surreal, wouldn't it! But if you're thinking about flying away, I think that girl with the orange dragon could have done that already... I wonder why she hasn't done so?

... There's a girl with an orange dragon too?! How many more weird things do you even know about?!

Just the many interesting things I've seen here, I guess? I think Oreki-san saw a bright yellow mouse-like creature, too.

You two really are a detective duo if you go around looking for stuff like that. I haven't seen anything worse than g-.. [ saying.. this word.. is difficult for her, okay. ] g-.. ghosts.

There are ghosts here?! [ SUDDEN INTEREST... ]

[ NO, SHE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT GHOSTS, BYE, FAREWELL-- .. darnit, but it's not like she can lie to cut the conversation short either way, right? Here goes.. nothing.. ]

You hadn't heard about that yet?

Not yet! What is that about? [ wants to know, wants to know...! ]

I-.. it's not like I know any details either, just go look for yourself! [ and don't confront her with her worst fear.. ] They're supposed to hang around in the carnival in Hel at night!

I see...! [ a carnival, and in Hel! This is getting interesting! ]

Thank you for the information-- [ pauses.

oh, she doesn't know the other girl's name yet. ] May I ask your name?

It's.. Asahi. Asahi Yuki.

[ she should make sure though.. ] Don't go check there on your own though. It's dangerous!

Then, Asahi-san, thank you for the information! I'm sure it'll be fine if I just took a peek.

Then at least take that bum guy with you, okay? He seems like he'd make a good meat shield.

I'll certainly take him along! But not as a meat shield, of course. [ laughing a little ]
