asgardmeridiem | All the king's horses and all the king's men...

Who: Atobe Keigo and whoever
What: Trying to get some management done
When: Day 29, whole day
Where: All over the place
Rating: G, I... think

[[A.] Early morning finds Atobe in the Odin district, talking to the natives for a while before they agree to let him organize and instruct them as to how to help clean off the debris. It wasn't as bad as he had thought, luckily, despite how chaotic it seemed the day before. At the very least, the buildings were still intact, and any fixing required would probably take no more than a few days. He spends the longest time here before he finds his way towards the other districts to do the same, speaking to the more agreeable natives, seeing as not all of them were quite open to talking to a member of another district, so that the workflow could go faster. It's not as smooth as in Odin, and some of them were quick to dismiss him entirely, but he can't be choosy when he had expected it. He's persistent though, and anyone who may be passing by may find him trying to compromise with them to a more effective solution.

[B.] By late afternoon, he's helping two kids try to find their parents. They're not from Odin, but one of them sported some bad injuries from the burn and could barely walk, and he somehow found himself carrying her to the Sigyn hospital while the other child looked at him warily.

[C.] By early evening, he's back in the Odin house, this time taking advantage of the massage chairs they had won from the previous cupcake competition. He has a few books stacked beside him and his eyes trained on the one in his hand, flipping the pages occasionally.

[D.] By late night? Anyone wandering around Odin may here the repetitive sound of something hitting a wall. Investigations would reveal Atobe rallying against the wall, seeing as he has no one he can play with that he knows of, and he can't let his skills rust. Except they have, because it was clear to him something was off about his insight, and no matter how closely he watched people today, it was really off and it bugged him. Not that he'd say it, especially not when he's so focused on hitting a certain spot of the wall with dead accuracy.

At any time of the day, he's open to chat, but he'll be more focused on trying to finish the tasks at hand. Also, anyone who sees him may notice the slight limp in his movements if they watch closely enough, an injury he got from yesterday's debacle.]

Do you think so? I've met a lot of people who want to help everyone here.

Ah -- I'm Conan! Edogawa Conan.

Helping everyone at random isn't quite the same thing. All it shows is that they're all good-willed, ahn~. While there's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't advance anything.

Oh, no, Atobe-niisan. They're organized.

Ahn~? Have you been observing them?

I have!

If that's the case, then can you tell me in detail of what they've been up to? [Just so he can have a record of things that at least he knows people are doing.]

Let's see -- Edgeworth-sensei and Yuri-sensei are researching and organising a system of laws to help protect everyone in the city. They've been asking for volunteers and people's input for that for a while now ...

Elika-san wants to do a census, so that people who've been gathering information can use it to make accurate predictions about why we're here and what we're supposed to do! She's had a lot of volunteers to help with that.

Sam-san has already written up his notes on Norse gods in his world and what we know about the powers we've been given -- oh, and Castiel-san organised a meeting for people to train together and learn more! After the dragon, I'd be really surprised if more people didn't want to help with that too.

Ahn~? So that man has actually been doing something like that. [He recognized Edgeworth's name at least, from the few times he's spoken to him.] I thought he had been doing nothing but stay idle too.

And Elika... Yes, I've heard of her. I'll have to get a hold of this census when I speak to her again then.

I haven't met those two, a~n. Do you think that Castiel knows a female slayer? She had been volunteering her services for training as well.

Ah, I wouldn't say that at all! Yuri-sensei's already the manager of the shop he works in and I see Edgeworth-sensei at the library all the time.

A female slayer ... What's a slayer?

I'm not familiar with the former, though I see I will have to speak to him at some point then.

According to her words: A person who saves the world, irregardless of how.

Mm! I like him a lot.

Wow! She sounds really cool -- I want to meet her?

Then I believe the woman you are looking for would be one named Buffy. [~~Assuming she gives her name to him later.~~]

Eh -- the Buffy who made everyone snickerdoodles?

... What, pray tell, are snickerdoodles? [brb being too rich for this foreign, commoner cookie.]

I think it's an American thing. They're cookies with sugar and cinnamon.

It's the first I've heard of it. Having sugar on it would make a cookie too sweet, won't it?

They were pretty sweet -- but it wasn't bad. I mean, you wouldn't want to eat more than one, but it was a nice treat!

I see. [He nods, as if that made sense to him.] I suppose if she's made those before, then it should be the same person.

[Hey, Conan will join you in that Japanese-aversion-to-super-super-sweet stuff.]

I'll have to ask her about Slaying next time I see her!

I'm sure she'll accommodate you. She seemed rather eager in offering to teach people how to fight at least.

That's good news! If we have so many willing teachers, well, hopefully we can prepare so that we're not caught off guard if something else happens!

If we can get all of them to gather in one place for training as well, things would be easier to organize, especially if one wishes to learn from each of them for different techniques.

That's just the plan Merlin-san has!

You seem to have spoken to quite a lot of individuals with similar ideas, ahn~. Are they friends of yours?

Ah -- I hope so! I think of them as friends, at least!
