[TEXT] Tiny Detective; Big Info-dump.

[holmes_fanatic]

Since we have a lot of new people arriving, I thought I would post some information about Asgard and what has happened to us here since the arrival of the first travellers 189 days ago! Long-time Travellers, keep reading! There’s something you haven’t heard about yet too.

Firstly, Castiel-san has updated Sam-san’s list of god-granted abilities and what each ability is and what we know of what it is capable of. You can find it here! While it’s mostly complete, there were some powers that no-one volunteered to help Castiel-san with information about. If you can fill in the gaps, please talk to him! If you want to talk to people with your power or just get advice on using it, then Merlin-san’s Teacher’s Council may be for you! Look out for an announcement from him or contact him directly with questions.

Secondly, what has happened in Asgard. As you can see, a lot of volunteers worked on this! We’re still working on making it as complete as possible, so if you want to help, let me know! I’m especially interested in someone who experienced the battle and someone who served as a healer writing up their impressions of the battle.

And the new-news I promised! There’s been a lot of talk about research lately, or at least the lack of it, so you might be surprised to know that the Forensics Unit at the hospital is attempting to find scientific explanations for the phenomena we encounter in Asgard! We recently concluded a study as to how our god-given powers are activated. Using the hospital’s EEG and MRI machines, we searched for any increase in brain activity while our test subject used their powers. We were unable to detect any difference from normal brain activity. This held true, no matter the power, age, gender or species of Traveller. It took us a while to complete this study, because the Traveller leading it, Charles Xavier-san (not the same Charles Xavier currently in Asgard) was returned, and of course we dealt with numerous attacks on the city in the interim. I’ve attached the full report as a file for anyone interested! We’d especially like to hear from any scientists currently in Asgard who might be interested in joining our department. Although formed in response to suspicious activity, we’ve since widened our outlook to include the examination of anything that will benefit Travellers. If you’re interested, please contact me or Detective Kate Beckett.

Other ways to learn more about our situation include the Teacher’s Council, as I already mentioned, or Grimoire's Sigil – Aladdin-kun is leading research into Asgard’s original Rune Magic. There’s a lot to learn here, and any interested parties are welcome to join in.

If research isn’t for you, consider The Citadel! Arthur-san’s guard teach a variety of weapon-based and non-weapon-based combat. Pendragon-san also offers lectures on War at regular intervals.

If that’s not your thing either, then maybe you’d like to help O’Brien and me with our emergency supply kits! We need volunteers to help us gather supplies then sort them into the kits which are distributed to Welcome Halls and stations all over Asgard. We especially would like volunteers with Drawing Life!

If you’ve got a healing power, then either the Sigyn Hospital or the Yakuzen Clinic Heimdall are good places to get practical experience using your power! You don’t have to talk to anyone at the hospital, just go to reception. And Watson-sensei and Castiel-san have regular first-aid classes at the Yakuzen Clinic.

If I’ve forgotten anything, please let me know! (Koizumi-san, I don’t want to hear you say it.)

((ooc: if I have html/link fail, ooc you want to be in on this but aren't sure how or have a group you want a shout out for, let me know!))

[It takes a bit of studying this bracelet but he is eventually able to respond with text too.]

That is a great amount of information. Thank you for posting it. It will take a while to sort through it all.

I maybe able to help with the drawing life research, once I discover how to use it myself. I will have to study it a little more first. I have had some limited success with it.
What could some one with drawing life do to help with your supply kits?

[Text]

[holmes_fanatic]

Mm! There's definitely been a lot been done since we got here.

We've had Travellers with Drawing Life help us out a lot in the past by drawing and creating the supplies we were short of.

[video]

[oneglance]

... That's impressive of you to organize. But also helpful, so thank you.

[Kiddo, you must have a lot of time on your hands. Anyway, he'll read it more thoroughly later.]

It seems I'm out of luck for learning more about my power though.

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

You're welcome! Though, maybe not so impressive 'cause we're still working on a lot of this!

Ah? That's too bad! Which power do you have?

[video, after your conversation with conan]

[hollowchild]

Conan is just that way.

[she smiles a little, small but fond and maybe a touch exasperated]

I'm Sophie, and I believe he mentioned me.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[Good lord Conan.]

EEG...? MRI? What do those mean?

[Audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

Electroencephalography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging! They're types of machine that measure types of brain activity.

[integrous]

[ Well, she does know most of this already, but she's mostly listening because of the familiar names-- the detective, and then o'brien, and then.. huh? ]

'Koizumi-san'? Are you talking about Itsuki?

voice;

[holmes_fanatic]

That's right! You know him, Yuki-neechan?

[key_illusion]

[Yeah.......he's totally not giving up the details on level 3. Or even 2. But seriously, level 1 was so long ago.]

Telepathy at level 1 involves direct contact with another person in order to listen to their thoughts and to plant vague suggestions. You can also read other people's emotions and vague thought topics from a short distance.

I'm assuming you don't mind me passing this on to Castiel-san? Thanks a lot.

D --> So this Arthur
D --> He is the local e%ample of the military FORCE
D --> I will be in immediate contact with this Arthur
D --> I should not be long apart from military service
D --> But
D --> He is not a troll is he
D --> This is has me somewhat flummo%ed
D --> I will have to consider this as I prototype more t00ls and then offer my services to this O'Brien
D --> That is what you call prototyping
D --> Yes
D --> Drawing Life
D --> Seems odd
D --> These things are not alive.

[You're babbling Equius...]

Arthur-san's not a troll, but I think once you get used to him, you'll find him pretty easy to work with.

Actually, my friend with that power was able to make pets from creatures he drew. Maybe when you have more practice, you'll be able to do the same!

[cancerass]

WOW. YOU SURE ARE A TREASURE TROVE OF KNOWLEDGE.
I WANT TO SAY THE SITUATION'S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT, BUT IT REALLY ISN'T.
STILL THOUGH. DAMN.

TEXT

[holmes_fanatic]

I try!

Mm. When you sit back and assess it ... It's a lot for 6 months.

[voice]

[etherealblast]

[They had done that much research on the abilities here.....?

Huh. The findings were odd... even Symbology took up mental energy to use. But speaking of which....]

Thanks for the information. It's pretty insightful.

About Grimoire's Sigil and this Rune Magic.... can you tell me a little more about it?

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

I'm not the best person to explain it -- my world doesn't have magic so I'm entirely new to it! Aladdin-kun and Samantha-san are much more knowledgeable, but I will do my best to answer questions!

[voice]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Cupcake baking... competitive hugging? This is shit that actually happened?

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

This is stuff that actually happened.

We had a choice about the cupcakes.

[letmepick]

[That's a lot of info to sift through, but at least it's comprehensive.]

This is exactly what I needed. Given the initial lack of, I'm impressed with all the information you've managed to compile.

I do have one question though. Whatever magic that forced the Travelers here, does this power have the potential to change some on a biological scale? Let's say data into flesh and blood for example.

[text]

[holmes_fanatic]

I've requested the gods update the Welcome Letter, but I'm guessing that they haven't.

Mm! I haven't heard of a case of data to flesh before, but we had cases where Travellers who were ponies in their world were turned into people here, and also dragons turned into people. Is that what happened to you?

[guardianjoker]

Wow...that's a lot of information to take in.

[holmes_fanatic]

Isn't it? You don't have to read it all at once, though!

[Audio]

[talking_dead]

Hey Conan.... [Someone sounds down, and the fact that he's using Audio and not actually coming out of his room probably means something.]

When you're uh...not busy......I don't know. [And there's the sound of him shoving his face back into his pillow.]

[Audio]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Yeah, this is not a good sign.]

I'm not busy now, Norman-kun!

[ audio]

[extradite]

Ah... good - good... work. Conan. Good work.

[ ...because positive reinforcement is what children really need. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

Thank you, Shinji-niichan~!

[deputychief]

Dear me. Say what, Edogawa-san?

voice;

[holmes_fanatic]

I think you know!

[video]

[hollowchild]

Rune magic? Really?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

You're familiar with it, Sophie-san?

[ video ]

[clearwater]

[just. the most flummoxed face for a long moment.]

Dude.

[wow.]

Every time I think I have a pretty good idea of how smart you are, you surprise me again. What's up with that?

[ video ]

[holmes_fanatic]

Wait until I do something really impressive to say that! Start now, I'll just get lazy.

[text]

[daddyissues]

Wow, you've been busy.

[holmes_fanatic]

I definitely haven't been bored, Conner-san!
