[video] emergency situation alert!

[holmes_fanatic]

[For those people in Asgard who've only seen Conan's childish persona, the following broadcast might come as a shock. The tiny detective is not trying to act his age, deadly serious as he speaks to the feed -- and he has good reason to be.]

Asgard. This is an emergency.

Samantha Grey is no longer herself. She is dangerous, possessing Level 3 Body Control which she will not hesitate to use against those she encounters, whether they act aggressively towards her or not. She is persuasive, physically strong and unpredictable.

She is of Caucasian appearance, 5'10" tall, red-haired with horns and a tail that she sometimes hides with clothing. If you see her, notify us here immediately. Furthermore, keep an eye out for any suspicious behaviour. Samantha's usual MO is to target individuals by first isolating them from sources of help. Check in on your friends here. If you can't raise them, let us know. There's also the chance that she may employ her body control to cover her traces, so keep an eye out for people acting erratically. It's going to be hard to do that with the chaos caused by the candy going on, but definitely be on your guard.

I can't stress how urgent the situation is or how important it is that you come forward with information, no matter how small or unlikely you think it might be. If Samantha was in her right mind, she'd say the same.

She's escaped. Caused her own death, left the castle at least an hour, possibly as long as three hours ago. I'm currently in Hel, trying to find anyone who remembers seeing her leave the castle but not much luck.

I don't need to remind you how serious this is.

[The bugs had caught on... She'd been hoping to snag herself until almost nightfall, assuming that they wouldn't check in directly. They hadn't ever done so in the past because of her powers. It had been sensible, but of course someone like Conan could keep 'tabs' remotely to an extent.

Damn the lot of them. Well, no matter. She kept her mind resolutely blank and started making her way to a more secure location. She'd had a little fun... and they could play properly soon enough.]

[seventeenpills]

[Oh geeze oh no oh geeze - not this stuff again.]

She managed to escape, huh? Hopefully she can be captured and restrained without hurting her.

[holmes_fanatic]

[Conan's pretty sure that not hurting Sam isn't really an option at this point, but it's nice to think that Hisao is somewhat screened from the situation.]

Hisao-niisan's checked in with his friends?

[likethelight]

[ What -- ]

What do you mean, not herself anymore?

Samantha-san is part demon. Most of the time she can keep her demonic heritage under control, but when the moon is as it is now, it's stronger. She was able to suppress it these last two months, but clearly something went wrong this time round.

[fiduspear]

Oh, great. [ As if he needed more reason to stay inside. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

Tavros-san's checked in with his friends?

Sa― [ The voice cuts. The feed lingers for a moment longer, the background noise fuzzy, before cutting completely. Trying back later is a possibility, but right now he cannot have this. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Was that Karuika? Conan hesitates before deciding that even if not, Samantha's former victim needs to be appraised of the situation directly. This is Conan attempting to call back.]

[zodiacal]

Great. Just what we needed. I'm assuming you're one of the guys that was supposed to keep her locked up?

[Emphasis on that "supposed" right there, man.]

Eve-san? Samantha mentioned you'd likely be getting in touch.

[lookingfordragon]

[Great, waking up to bad things happening. It was beginning to be a habit of hers. She didn't feel right either, but the least she could do was try and help.]

Where was she last seen?

video

[holmes_fanatic]

If you're thinking of looking for her, you should take someone with you, Matsuri-san. I'm not exagerrating when I say she's dangerous.

[charmandchant]

Conan.

( Hermione looks worried, wary, but maybe a bit more business-like than he's seen her. Or maybe not. She doesn't know how he's seen her. )

Is there anything I can do?

video

[holmes_fanatic]

Hermione-san.

[The offer is unexpected -- but then again, Conan can easily imagine someone with Hermione's determination and sense of responsibility being unable to easily stand by. Her circle of acquaintances in Asgard is probably small so--]

You're in Odin district now?

[extraordinarymuse]

What's the plan?

text; private; (private to Conan or the full team?)

[holmes_fanatic]

First step is finding her.

We know she left the castle in Hel, that's all we know. I'm asking natives and Travellers alike if they've seen her, but no sightings so far.

I've got two volunteers keeping an eye out in Thor-Odin-Baldr, would like to get more patrols going as more people see this. You're in Sigyn?

[sophie is at pinch of sage, the shelves visible behind her]

What? But how?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Conan frowns as he recognizes the shop interior. It is not outside of the bounds of possibility that Samantha's evil self might target the shop. A guard ... ? Or would that be too obvious ... ?]

She found a loophole.

[video]

[superissues]

Superboy. Hi. I got your aerial surveillance needs covered.

[video - Filtered]

[holmes_fanatic]

[That is--

Okay, no. That is a lot more helpful than Conan expected from someone who looks like an elementary student coloured in his wardrobe.]

Edogawa Conan.

Avoid direct confrontation. Report any suspicious activity directly here.

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

But - I thought the tea was working!

[Her voice is strangled, choked, and she can't even pretend to maintain control. Not even for Conan. Just when she thought she had her friend back...]

[video - private]

[holmes_fanatic]

For whatever reason, it didn't today.

Nakama, where are you now?

video;

[starktomboy]

[Oh. So this was the sort of thing Samantha had warned her about before...]

I can help look? I haven't seen her today. [And possibly bring Ghost or Gray Wind, just in case. Good luck taking on a dire wolf, Sam?]

video;

[holmes_fanatic]

Arya-san. A lot of people going out to look for her alone would create exactly the sort of situation that Samantha's other-half could use to her advantage.

Have you checked in with your friends here to know they're where they should be?

[clockeyes]

No!

[No, no, goodness no, this is not what Asgard needs right now. He grits his teeth, face filled with absolute determination.]

Of course I know how serious this is, ugh...I'll be out looking for her. Believe me, we'll stop her before she causes any harm...

[holmes_fanatic]

So far we have a team of two taking Thor, Odin and Baldr, Detective Beckett on Loki and Sigyn and I'm talking Heimdall and Hel. ... 'Superboy' is providing aerial surveillance, but Beckett and I could use back up, or we could do with someone on the ground in Freyr and Freya.

[voice]

[vigilanteup]

Tell me what I can do to help.

[voice - filter]

[holmes_fanatic]

Yuri-san.

We're searching the city, looking for signs of Samantha, or any suspicious behaviour that might be in line with advanced Body Control. Take Repede and join Detective Beckett in Sigyn and Loki. You're looking for sightings of Samantha, anything out of the ordinary, paying particular attention to Samantha's workplace, A Pinch of Sage, and the areas of Sigyn most frequented by Travellers.

The hearts are going to make this difficult.

[clearwater]

What the... [late to the party, seth is, and most definitely out of the loop about samantha's demon side.] What happened?!

[private]

[holmes_fanatic]

Samantha happened. You've not heard about this before?

She's part demon, with a demonic other-half that takes control of her periodically. This is the third time that demonic side has gotten out in Asgard -- usually she can keep it under submission with a combination of tea and careful planning.
