002 [video / action]

[Sophie's in the park, sitting with her back to the sun and looking considerably healthier than she was a few days ago. the burns are nearly healed and there's a bit of a flush to her, like she's been exerting herself and is taking a break. before she speaks, she takes a small, steeling breath]

I think we are all exceptionally aware of what went on in the city a few days back, but I've heard very little about either of the expeditions. While what happened here was certainly more...dramatic...in the long run, at very least the expedition to Utgard seems to be of importance. And I'm curious.

[she falters, unsure of where to go from there]

Are there any details to be shared? Perhaps it would be a good idea to find a way to keep everyone informed.

[Orihime's propped up in her bed in Sigyn house, recovering from being ill still]

Wait, I missed this! There was an expedition?

[she was stuck in the hospital healing Ichigo when it was announced, so she's mostly curious how they'd go out with everyone sick as they were]

[hollowchild]

There was. They left the day before the canisters dropped.

[holyfight]

Eh heh, I didn't even hear it announced! I was busy healing someone in the hospital, so I was there the entire time.

[hollowchild]

It all happened rather quickly, I think. An easy thing to miss.

[highstakesgame]

I was with neither party, but I'd be interested in hearing whatever information you receive as well. I do love to stay current on gossip such as this.

video

[hollowchild]

Just gossip?

It seems like something many people should be interested in, for many different reasons.

[highstakesgame]

But it is interesting!

And what importance did the mission into Utgard have?

[hollowchild]

Well, yes. That's true.

I believe that they went to secure supplies, at the behest of the gods. It was a very sudden sort of thing.

[comeonthensexy]

The way is easy. Just get everyone together, compile whatever everyone found and then share it with the public.

[Video]

[hollowchild]

...getting everyone together is easy?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

How difficult can it really be?

Or you could choose someone in charge of it and let everyone write their things down and send it to that person.

[Video]

[hollowchild]

That's not really something I could say. I'm not exactly the leaderly type, Doctor. [rueful smile] And none of them have had much to say, yet. Or have been able to say much.

[a small shrug]

Actually Doctor-san, Edmund-kun, Sam-san and I have been working on compiling our three guides into one for the entire city. It's taking a long time because we're all really busy, but if you need someone to organise, any of us would want to help, I think!

[holmes_fanatic]

A few of my friends joined the Utgard expedition, so if you don't find someone to answer your questions, I'll see if they'd like to meet you. Otherwise, one of the people who joined the forest expedition plans to tell everyone about that too.

[hollowchild]

[sorry, conan, she still can't type. wasn't high on the priority list]

Ah, that would be kind of you. But I hope I'm not the only one interested. Have you spoken to them about it?

[text forever!!!1!!!! ]

[holmes_fanatic]

[And Conan's avoiding actual contact with people when he is not locked in a cupboard and needing to be rescued.]

To the guy who went on the forest expedition, yes! He seems to think sharing information's necessary. But I haven't talked to my other friends yet.

[deal with my audio!!!!11!]

[hollowchild]

[and since it's audio, he can hear the little hum she makes. it's a knowing sort of hum]

I see. I tend to agree with him. It would be good for interested parties to know what's going on.

Would you like to have a cooking lesson this evening, or are you otherwise occupied?

[Video]

[foodshortage]

I am not certain just what kind of information would be of any particular use, but seeing as we were many, I believe you are right. It would be a good idea. We cannot know what everyone has found.

[Video]

[hollowchild]

I don't really know either. But as we seem to be from all manner of places, perhaps someone will have some new perspective to contribute. And the expeditions happened for a reason, didn't they? Were you successful?

[Video]

[foodshortage]

Indeed.

I believe we were. We accomplished the main goal of the expedition, at least. Perhaps others had several different aims.

[Video]

[hollowchild]

What was the main goal, exactly? Provisions?

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Um... it wasn't very eventful. We just went on a long wagon ride, ordered and picked up supplies, and then spent a day and a half exploring before coming back. Maybe someone who talked to the locals would have more to tell you, though.

[video]

[hollowchild]

You didn't do much at all, then? I haven't been outside the city walls yet, so it's all interesting to me.

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

I was... a bit distracted. [She looks guilty.] I mostly spent time with friends trying to cheer me up. But Utgard is really modern, and really big... I can tell you that much. It doesn't look anything like Asgard.

[video]

[hollowchild]

[a pause]

There's nothing you should feel bad about, you know. It's certainly no crime to be distracted during routine travel. Anything is more than what I know.
