[Welcome to the city of Asgard. Now that you've woken up and been given your welcome instructions (as per the FAQ), what will you do? There are a good number of other new arrivals being shown to the gates, and for today the plaza that surrounds the castle is open for mingling. You could also head to your Welcome Hall (details here) and meet your Housemates if you'd like. Whatever you decide to do, have fun getting settled into your new home!]

(ooc note: there will be threads below for the plaza and each House. Mingle and get to know your fellow Travellers! This is a continuations post, but by all means feel free to start new threads.)

[Did this ... person ... just 'harumph'?]

They didn't leave me -- not like that, I mean! I'm staying with Mouri-ojisan.

... of course, they didn't know I was going to get kidnapped here.

[Will they even notice their kid is gone? Who knows.]

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

So we have been kidnapped! [Seizing onto that bit of information, their teeth bared with fury.]

Stealing children away! Absolutely unacceptable! Why, when we find out who's responsible for this, we'll wring their necks ourselves!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah -- I think we know who is responsible uh ... Ojisan.

[Conan carefully tugs his notebook out of his pocket, unfolding the letter tucked within, not taking his eyes off his companion all the while.]

This letter says we were 'chosen by the gods' and we're meant to serve our 'patron god.' I don't know a lot about Norse mythology, but this city's called Asgard and Asgard's meant to be the home of the Norse gods, I think ...

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

[They snort loudly, shaking their head as though they've never heard something quite so ridiculous.]

Preposterous! Gods? Bah! Clearly this is just some sick prank! And when we find the one respon~sible~ [They laugh, their tongue lolling past their thick jaws with a cruel sort of mirth.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Conan had really wanted someone to share his doubts with, someone who didn't seem to be so accepting of the situation as most of his companions.

But did it have to be this guy?]

Do you know anyway of pulling off a joke on a scale this big, uh -- ne, what's your name, Ojisan?

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Call us Venom, boy.

Yes. A few. But not even he could trick the entire city and get away with it! [It was frustrating. Though they wanted to blame the Spider for everything, they knew that he was not at fault--this time.]

The more important thing for now is why! Why us? Why this whole, stupid ruse, hm? No, there's something fishy about all of this!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Venom-san. It's [ ha .... ] nice to meet you.

A few?

That's a good question, Venom-san! Unfortunately, I don't know enough to have an answer yet. I'm still meeting people.

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

And you as well! What's your name, hm? Fair is fair!

Well! You're a smart boy, we have no doubt you'll figure it out! [And in the meantime, they'll pound a few faces in until they get the answers they want, in turn!]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[...]

I'm Edogawa Conan -- Conan's what everyone calls me.

I'll definitely try, Venom-san! Ne ... I've never seen anyone who looks like Venom-san before.

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Conan! A good, strong name. We like it! [And their opinion is what matters most, after all~]

Ah, yes, well, we're a bit special compared to most people, you could say!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Venom-san!

[Like I hadn't noticed.]

Ne ... special how?

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

What do you think about aliens?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

...

[I think Yamamura-keiji must never find out about this place.]

You're an alien, Venom-san? Really? I -- don't know anyone in my world who has ever met an alien before.

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Half, yes. A symbiote, and a man, made whole by a mutual union.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Is that why you refer to yourself as 'we'?

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Yes. We are two beings, after all. Not one.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

And you're separate despite the union?

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Yes. We share a body, we share thoughts... but we are separate. Partners, one might say!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[He's an ordinary guy. He's a symbiotic alien from space. Together they fight-- crime?]

That's -- good to hear!

Ne -- where are each of your from? And why did the alien-you come to earth to start with?

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

[Yes, exactly! Or murder the people responsible for doing bad things, anyway.]

New York City! The symbiote... its home planet does not have a name. It was captured, left to rot until one day, it was freed, and brought back to Earth. It's a long, ugly story, but eventually we found one another.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

... ah.

New York? I've been there!

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Have you? A beautiful city, is it not? And where are you from?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

It's pretty cool.

I'm from Tokyo.

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Ahh, Tokyo! We haven't been, ourselves, but perhaps one day! Such a marvel... [And so many wonderfully tall buildings to survey the area from!]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[... Venom travels? And I thought I had problems getting through passport control ...]

Ah, it's not so different from New York City, in feel!
