third light ∞ video IN WHICH ELIKA IS VERY LONG-WINDED

[duty]

[Elika's writing diligently in neat but flowing handwriting, her eyes darting back and forth between what she's writing and the broadcast.]

Bear with me, I'm going to talk a lot in a moment. [whatever she was working on, she finishes and closes the notebook.]

So, I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with a census. The names of everyone here, where they come from, what language they speak, what House they're in and with what power... More besides, if we wanted. There's no purpose to it except knowledge and curiosity. If there's anyone actively trying to find a way home, it would be available to them if they wish to look for patterns or whatever. [she waves a hand impatiently] I won't lie and say it's not for my own curiosity as well. I'd like to see what patterns there are, if any - and I wouldn't mind just keep tracking of how many people are here in general and how we've been disbursed among the Houses.

[there's a smirk and a dry tone as she adds:] The biggest problem with a census is tracking those not willing to participate. Though I'm perfectly willing to just have a margin of error and not really worry about it, considering this, again, doesn't have much purpose besides killing a few cats.

Of course, there could be more practical applications - finding out who has any medical or healing knowledge or ability. I know Sigyn has an actual healing power and there's the hospital as well, but I think it would be useful to know if there's anyone nearby in the case of an emergency, so that immediate medical attention can be given until the injured person in question can be moved to the hospital or a Sigyn healer can arrive. Zen has a small clinic set up in the Heimdall House, and I think it might not hurt to have similar setups in the other Houses.

I'll probably also like to make packages of information for easy reference for newcomers, with addendums for those who arrive from special circumstances. [she spreads her hands, a smirk drawing across her features] I definitely would have appreciated one on "electricity" when I arrived, so I figured I should make it a little easier for anyone else like me who didn't have this kind of technology.

I'd appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. Help, too, if you're interested.

...Are you sure you don't just want little cakes like everyone else?

I'll do anything that's gonna get us home. Is there a form I gotta fill out?

[...!]

I-I've got a map that I made with all of the businesses and stuff marked on it. I gave out copies already, but we're working on getting it uploaded into the bracelet so it can just be sent as an attachment. Do you want that for your package?

I don't know a lot about how electricity actually works, but I could draw up a manual for the kitchen... it gave a lot of people trouble.

That sounds like a great idea.

My name's Apollo Justice, and I'll do whatever I can to help.

You've caught our attention. We are Venom--in Hel's house. It seems that we have some form of shadow control.

Not very useful, as far as healing or medical things go, but what can we say? We didn't pick it!

[struckout]

I was thinking about trying to organize something- a first response system, I guess. Between that and a security force...

[ Lightning trails off, her tone reluctant and a touch tense. This really isn't something she would prefer to be doing, even if she would if it turns out she has to...

But, they've been here something like over three weeks already, and with no sign of a solution popping up, it's probably time to get something started before something bad happens. So. The ideas are being formed, yes. ]

[shigeharu]

I have a list of books available in the library for getting up to speed on the technology, but it's very much aimed at those who actually want to understand how it works, and not simply know how to use it without causing any explosions.

I was also talking to someone else about making a similar survey. Only with a little less information, though.

But I'm glad someone else has thought about it too. I know there has to be some sort of pattern behind us all being choosen. [At least she hopes so...]

If you need help with organization, I don't mind giving you a hand. Just like you and everyone else, I want to get back to my own world as soon as possible.

This is a great idea, Elika-neechan!

Let's see ... I'm Conan Edogawa. I'm from Tokyo, Japan and the year is 2011 when I'm from! Before I came here I was an elementary school student. Now I'm living in Hel with the power of body control. I know a little first aid and am good at puzzles and soccer! I can teach people about electricity!

Um, I think that's all!

[adherent]

I would be more than willing to provide whatever information you need, and to help if you need it.

[This boy here looks pretty intrigued, having listened carefully to everything, but he offers only two simple answers:]

You're right -- with the districts' limitations, it would be practical to extend Heimdall's clinic to each House.

However... if you are to do a census, should it not be by House?

[pyritic]

I'm Cloud. [ You know. The guy who shares the bathroom. Who probably leaves his socks in there on accident a lot. ] Damage Drain. Tell me when you figure out what else you want to know.

[ It didn't sound that set yet and he's not exactly chomping at the bit to blab about himself. But they're neighbors and having never talked yet is...weird. He's still got a bit of small-town kid in him, even if he doesn't quite have the hospitality. ]

...You figured out the electricity, right? [ Should he be watching for fires? ]

[prosecutory]

A census would indeed be useful, and I believe you would do well to contact Sam Winchester - he has made an information package that can orient new arrivals about Asgard.
