[Video | Day 147 (open to action and threadjacking!)]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah -- everyone, be really alert! And I mean really, really alert! A dragon flew over the city and he dropped something in Hel -- um, can I get a shot of it please ... thank you!

[It's just like a live broadcast from an unfolding event ... if live broadcasts were made by seven-year-olds and the background crowd was dotted by people without faces. At any rate, enough of the curious bystanders step back to reveal a tarnished metal cannister that has sprung open on impact but otherwise had no other effect and is being given a cautious distance by the crowd.]

The last time a dragon flew over the city, it was to declare war -- and he started a lot of fires too! That was pretty scary, and a lot of people got hurt. This hasn't started a fire, so it's possible it didn't work and the dragon might be back. So please, be very careful today, and let people know immediately if you spot anything strange!

[Walking away from the crowd (and the lingering smoke) Conan adds in a lower tone:]

It's possible that if you're new, this is the first you've heard about the war. Edmund-kun has a summary of events and I wrote up the first dragon visit, so I'll link those in a bit. If you're still worried or have other questions, ask! If I don't answer, I'm sure someone else who has been here longer will!

[Filtered to members of the Forensics Unit:]

No injuries -- luckily -- but it'd be a good idea to get whatever that thing is away from people as soon as we can. I'd like a couple of tarpulins, some crime scene tape and start asking around for a local expert in bomb disposal. I've had a look, but it's not like anything I've seen before.

[Don't question the fact that this kid knows bombs okay.]

Edmund-kun's compilation.
My guide -- it's a WIP still, I'm sorry!

Edogawa-kun, are you all right?

[She's suppressing the urge to break into coughing as she speaks, and thus sounds a little raspy.]

There's one in Freya, too. But no one's hurt, and the smoke doesn't seem like it's harmful to anyone... It just tastes strange.

[holmes_fanatic]

In Freya too ... ?

Ah, if there's smoke, you should move away! Even if it's not harmful, it can't be good for you, right?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

What is that thing??

[Audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah -- that's a very good question, Euri-neechan! I'm not sure.

It looks like a bomb, but it failed to explode on impact. Which could just mean that it didn't work but ... it seems there was more than one of them.

[samantha_grey]

Be careful, Conan. Never, ever, trust a pissed off dragon. They're enough trouble when they're not angry. Everyone's ok?

Things are pretty much alright over in Loki. Few folks freaked out, but nothing dropped here.

[holmes_fanatic]

It doesn't look like the dragon stuck around ... though I'm kind of confused. He could have done a lot of damage by lighting fires like he did last time ... but he didn't.

So far, so good! I'd feel better if the thing he dropped wasn't still here, but.

That's good news at least!

[needlebearer]

It dropped one here in Thor, too.

video

[holmes_fanatic]

In Thor as well? Ne, did it explode or does it look like the one in my video ... ?

[video]

[hollowchild]

A dragon...dropped a bomb?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

It dropped something, Sophie-san! I'm not really sure what but ... if it's a bomb it's not a very good one.

[key_illusion]

[Ow, his head. The sudden explosion of confusion and panic has given him a headache. That's what he gets for monitoring too many thoughts at once.]

Lots of thoughts.

[Permanent Filtered Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

[The message gives Conan a brief pause, but he puts facts together quickly enough.]

With what happened the last time a dragon flew over the city it's to be expected.

video;

[bloodypocket]

Would anyone have come into direct contact with it yet? [A number of possibilities come into mind, but best to ask details first...]

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

Touched it? Ah -- [Conan motions to the people still milling around curiously.] I didn't get here fast enough to see who or what happened, but the people told me that it didn't even feel hot or anything.

video;

[asgardsstrength]

Dragon, eh? Sounds like fun!

[ His voice is lazily pleased and impressively booming. ]

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah ... fun is not the word I'd use.

[well.]

[voice]

[falenandawn]

I saw the one in Freya district as well... It is like nothing I've seen before, either.

What do you think it was for?

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's a mystery. A dragon doesn't exactly need a weapon ... it could have been meant as a test of some sort.

[Video]

[galaxynymph]

[That strange looking canister isn't like anything Sheryl's seen for quite some time. It reminds her of the canisters used on Galaxy for transporting chemicals throughout the city. She'd seen reports of a few being dropped on the ground and their contents spilling out with disastrous effects. The look on her face is a mix of concern and being heavily unimpressed.]

Is this the best they can do? Drop some mysterious objects into Asgard to spread mass panic and hysteria?

[Video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah ... I wouldn't want to encourage them to try anything else!

It's possible they're using this to gauge our reactions.

[video]

[extraordinarymuse]

I'll send some people your way - did you say if anything came out of that? Like smoke or dust?

[Because obviously every NYC cop has been trained and/or remembers the Anthrax scare. She's just...hoping that isn't the case. Here. She really doesn't want to deal with that, thanks.]

[video] [filtered]

[holmes_fanatic]

Detective Beckett. [A relief as always to hear from you. If only Conan had better news.]

There was some smoke when I arrived, but it dissipated. No obvious ill effects and I didn't think too much of it, until I got word that two more cannisters dropped one in Thor, one in Freya. None exploded, and the kid who found the one in Thor reported a lot of smoke.

video;

[trainwrecking]

A dragon?! [ He can kinda sorta accept a dragon after all the unusual things he's been forced to contend with, but... don't dragons usually attack immediately? ]

Is this just happening in the city? My friends went away to Utgard... Is there any way to know?

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

A dragon! I wasn't fast enough to get a shot of it this time, but you can ask the other people here -- they saw him too!

Ah ... no way that I can think of. Our bracelets don't broadcast that far.

(video)

[counterbalanced]

A canister, you said? [The way it was dropped into the city, and it opened...]

Did you see anything coming out of it?

(video)

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah -- there was some smoke here when I arrived. The people who were first on the scene told me there was a lot more of it, and that's been confirmed by reports of other cannisters falling in Thor and Freya.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Conan-kun...! Are you alright? Thank you for the warning...

[ She's clearly panicking... she was lucky enough not to meet the dragon that spewed fire, but hearing it mentioned again set her in panic mode instantly. ]

It... the dragon... may return?

[Audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's very possible! Ne, where is Hanako-neechan now?

[audio]

[showmeanguish]

[Was this what Kaz was freaking out over? There's still a lot of questions running through his head, but if all they dropped was a canister of colored smoke, then...]

Might be a scare tactic, to show we're still sitting ducks if they send that guy back.

[But then, why didn't they take the opportunity to do more damage...?]

[audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's possible ... though I'm pretty sure they've made that message amply clear before now!

voice

[doomfire]

[ maybe he shouldn't have gone to the hospital so early today (or should he have?? yeah he should have)- he could've been there to check it out. and now he's heading out again ]

It could've been a bomb that was botched.

voice

[holmes_fanatic]

That was my first thought -- but there's been two more cannisters dropped and both acted the same way.

audio;

[extradite]

[ Never mind intelligent conversation - this particular little gasp is dedicated to the shock & associated terror that apparently what's at play is a - ]

...dragon. A real dragon. A - flying dragon.

audio;

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah. A real dragon.

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ➡ Ғıʟᴛᴇʀᴇᴅ ]

[corona]

Oh! Great comparison. Have you ever seen fireships, Conan? Probably, huh. That's... kind of what these reminded me of. Like someone crossed a smoke bomb with the kind they use - used to use - on fireships. So... maybe it's more of a warning than anything really dangerous? The smoke has no strange odors, no observable effects, and - well... I feel fine. There's a funny taste in my mouth but I think that's pretty much what happens when you get smoke there.

It's probably better still to be safe than sorry in case [ auto flinch ] Detective Beckett is right. I can draw whatever supplies no one's able to get too.

And I'm glad you're all right, boss Please stay safe. Okay?

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ➡ Ғıʟᴛᴇʀᴇᴅ ]

[holmes_fanatic]

You'll have to tell me about fireships, later, Rapunzel-neechan. They sound pretty interesting -- ah, but you've already encountered the smoke?

That sounds a good idea. Let Detective Beckett know that you're available to help with supplies -- and she was suggesting I get checked out by someone in the hospital. It might be a good idea for you to do that if you're going to be there anyway, just in case they turn up some new info about this.

[video]

[lookingfordragon]

What are those things?
[Shes struggling to speak]

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

We don't know yet, Matsuri-san.

[ video ]

[pratentious]

[ Arthur saw it as well, very well flew right over his damn head before leaving a similar canister behind. ]

You were present for the previous attack, were you not? Did you see the dragon then?

[ video ]

[holmes_fanatic]

I did. I even have pictures of the dragon on my phone.

It's hard to be sure at this distance, but if not the same dragon, it was very like, Arthur-san.

video;

[mishaps]

Is that thing for real?!

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

It's -- for real, Hasegawa-san.

video;

[demonical]

Conan? -uh thanks for the summary, its good, real good.

Do we know yet what's in those things?

Those things didn't harm anybody this time?

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

We don't know yet, Rin-niisan! I'm hoping that we can examine it later. But for now -- since we don't know if it's dangerous or not, we're going to try and get it away from people!

No one's hurt so far!
