[Maribelle switches on the feed, clearing her throat politely. She seems much less ill at ease than before, and not a smidge of trepidation can be seen on her face. She must do her best to keep up appearances, after all.]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, I wish to thank everyone who responded to my prior request. [Although it wasn't much of a request, but hey! Details!] I am most grateful for everyone's input and efforts, and especially to those who have chosen to join me.

That said, we are ready to begin questioning. Beginning tomorrow, I and my comrades shall start the process in the Everyday Sunshine building located in the Sigyn district. Questioning will begin in the morning, and end in the late afternoon.

There will, of course, be exceptions made for those who wish to participate in questioning, but wish to refrain from being subjected to our abilities. There is a telepathy user who has kindly agreed to interview people without a Charm user. Furthermore, there are two others, named Kirigiri Kyouko and Naoto Shirogane, who will question those who wish to answer our queries without being subjected to either charm or telepathy.

Everyone who wishes to attend may bring a witness if they so choose. My wish is for everyone to feel as safe as possible during this process.

Hey, uh... heads up on the telepathy and stuff.

If you're here in Asgard, there's a pretty high chance that you're... that you've seen some shit.

If that makes sense.

... I'm sorry, what?

[It's a little hard to explain without going into detail. Ellie takes a minute, then tries to lay it out.]

No matter how much you've seen? There's always stuff you don't want to see, that you haven't yet.

So just -- be careful.

Whenever you wish it, Lady Maribelle, you already know that I am willing, and what risks any with telepathy might take with me.

[damselled]

Very well. Do you know where the building is?

[bythewaves]

I can find it. [ he nods ] Shall I come to you now?

Oh, did you say how you want it to go? Like, were you going to just go through everyone who shows up whenever, or did you want some kinda order? I think that'd be good for people to know. Y'know, [so that he and his buddies can keep tabs on where Adachi is, but also] to be less confusing.

[He's a helper!]

[damselled]

As we haven't had too many people express an interest in being interviewed when I first started this, I believe that, unless there are a great many responses here, we shall simply take people as they come.

[windbreak]

[He waves a hand vaguely.] Yeah, but isn't that a little defeatist?

[sings_of_death]

So we get to play twenty questions now in addition to having a bed time. Why don't we just braid each other's hair and have a pillow fight too?

[damselled]

Because, darling, I don't allow cretins to touch my hair.

That said, if you don't wish to be questioned, I'm hardly going to force you.

[sings_of_death]

Well I suppose if that's the company you keep it makes sense. I figured a nice lady would have chosen to surround herself with better people.

It's not like I have anything to hide, I just hope the others are a bit more charming or you might not get very far.

[sleight_of_hand]

Heh... so we get started tomorrow, hunh?

I'll be right there when you need me, boss.

[...but man, Shirogane-kun would be around too? He really was going to have to watch himself and be on his best behavior. That... sucked.]

[Video]

[damselled]

We do. We have little time as it is.

Thank you, Tohru. I'm grateful for your help.

[For a moment, Adachi genuinely looked like he wasn't sure how to respond to the praise, before he glanced away.]

D-don't thank me yet, I'm not sure how good I'll be.

[beloved_one]

Will we be starting with the groups questioning one another?

[damselled]

There is no need for that. They have already been investigating us.

[beloved_one]

I see. I will be there early to help ensure that everything is set up then, it would be good to have the opportunity to meet the others that I will be working alongside.

It would probably be best if I come in for interrogation. At least it would put the natives at ease.

[To illustrate what he means, he holds up a little sign with fairly good drawing of himself looking sinister, with some writing under it intimating that he was behind everything. It had happened before, after all.]

[video]

[damselled]

I appreciate your enthusiasm, sir, but this is certainly not an interrogation.

[She blinks at the sign.] Goodness me, I believe so.

[video]

[beforethewar]

[He shrugs a little.]

Don't mind me, I was just being a little dramatic.

Yes...well, it wouldn't be the first time Thiazi's had me wrapped around her little finger, and the natives remember.

[It would be hard to forget, after all the murders and torture he'd done when he thought he was sleeping.]

text.

[intelligently]

What if it's one of the interviewers?

[damselled]

I have accounted for that. We are under investigation as well.

[comeonthensexy]

I guess I'll submit myself to questioning. Help set everyone's mind at ease.

[ There's been some chatter around the city. He's not sure what he's done to make people suspicious, exactly, aside from apparently being "absent", whatever that means. Since he's not guilty it doesn't matter to him if they question him. ]

[damselled]

Thank you kindly, sir. My name is Maribelle. And you are...?
