001 ❖ [video]

[ The video starts to show a man with a sense of refinement and formality, sitting primly at a desk in what seems to be a rather spacious and neat and normal apartment. The bed is made, the closets are closed, and not a single item seems to be out of place, pretty much. The occupant himself is wearing a suit with a distinct shade of red (if you ask him, he’ll say it’s red, but others might say magenta, or pink), a dark vest and a frilly white cravat. His gray eyes betray a touch of impatience and irritation, but he remains still and clears his throat. ]

Good morning. My name is Miles Edgeworth, and I am a public prosecutor. Like all of you, I have been brought to this...this location against my will and through as yet unknown means.

[ Standing not so primly behind him is a girl. And, while Edgeworth may be the picture of poise and dignity, his companion with the bright pink shirt and the golden key dangling from her ponytail is most definitely not. This could be attributed to the way she’s currently mimicking his posture and expression with exaggerated motions. Edgeworth frowns, she grimaces comically. He clears his throat, she clutches at hers like she’s choking.

It’s probably a good thing that he hasn’t turned around yet. ]


And as of now, no one has found a way to leave and return to where they came from. [ He folds his arms across his chest, tapping his right index finger on his left arm. Edgeworth clearly wants nothing better than to return to where he came from, and still does not notice what the girl behind him is up to. ] Though we currently have information regarding the various districts and our...hosts, there is a dearth of knowledge not only regarding how we got here and how to leave, and why we are even here in the first place.

[ The girl makes a noise, a hoity-toity quiet sort of “harrumph harrumph”, as she folds her arms in imitation of Edgeworth’s pose. When he glances over his shoulder at her, though, her hands are clasped in front of her chest and her gaze is earnest and absolutely innocent. ]

That’s horrible, isn’t it, Mr. Edgeworth? All those unsolved mysteries! All those uneaten Swiss Rolls I stashed under your couch cushions, left to get all moldy... we should get on that investigation bit soon!

[ He lets his arms drop. Though he is now facing away, one could figure out from his voice that his expression is very deadpan. ]

If you do leave anything under my couch, you are responsible for cleaning it up, Kay. [ The prosecutor faces his phone again, forehead furrowed in thought. ] Now, this brings me to my proposal: It would do us and potential newcomers good to have a document compiled with what we know, as it may help us deduce new information and lead us closer to the truth, instead of simply leaving everyone’s findings scattered across the network. I have scoured it for anything worth remembering, but anyone should feel free to contribute.

[ He pauses to reach up and adjust his cravat a bit.

In response, Kay reaches up to arrange her muffler in the manner of his cravat. Except that mufflers aren’t cravats and instead of adjusting hers, she tightens it a little too much and lapses into a squeaky choked noise when it proves a wee bit uncomfortable.

At that, Edgeworth turns around again, a bit faster this time. ]


What are you doing?!

[ Before dealing with his assistant, he reaches out to switch his phone off. The last thing anyone will hear is Kay’s protest of “You’ll scare them all away if you don’t lighten the mood!!” That’s all, folks.

And expect tags from either Edgeworth, Kay, or both of them. ]

I know it's an insurmountable mountain! But if anyone can mount insurmountable mountains of millions of really frilly tissues-- um, I mean cravats, it's you and me!

For the sake of Mr. Edgeworth's neck, Mr. Butz!!

[Larry actually looks stunned for a moment. That was some impressive alliteration! Not that he can compliment her out loud because he doesn't actually know the right word.]

Y-Yeah! I'm with you!! Let's save Edgey's neck!

But...how should we steal them when he keeps a close eye on them?

[And so he turns to the expert thief for thieving advice.]

... Really?

Is there a rule that lawyers have to have interesting hair or something?
magicalwright: (★| every second is a highlight)

[personal profile] magicalwright 2013-03-24 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! We'll have to think of some really insightful questions to work out what's happened! Like what people were doing before they arrived, maybe everyone ate some bad chinese food!

Oh, I quite understand. But know that you have my aid, should you ever need it.

A questionnaire sounds like an excellent idea. I'll be happy to fill it out.

I'll most certainly be remaining as vigilant as I'm able. If our "hosts" are willing to kidnap us, who knows what else they might do? By the way, what district are you housed in? Are you in Orlea, as well? [The apartment he's in does seem relatively normal.]
defaming: (that's synchronized)

[...

Kristoph isn't sure what to make of this. His lip twitches, ever so briefly, and he adjusts his glasses.

Thievery? That's not what I would consider an honorable career. That's hardly the way to bring about justice, is it?
insectubus: (OH NO I'M BEING EMBARRASS)

Miss Kay Faraday. You are as beautiful as you are cheerful.

You remind me why it is I seek to gain so much knowledge about humans. There truly are kind ones out there willing to learn, than to judge.
insectubus: (mysterious glance of mystery oooh swoon)

...Forgive me for making an assumption, then. I can merely sense that you are just as uncomfortable here as many others.

[Well he seemed to be frowning, now. Or rather, not smiling.]

...Anyways I...I do understand that many of us want to go home. Personally, I'd rather stay here. I'm not saying it's a wonderful place, but I'm certainly faring better here than back home.

But while I'm here...I do want to help. And you did mention that you are looking for clues to return home. Is there anything I can do to help?

We devise a plan when Mr. Edgeworth's not breathing down my neck.

I didn't think my dad's hair was anything weird... why, do you know one?

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-25 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
You yell at the important parts!

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-25 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you steal in the name of justice, doesn't that count?

[ ah, youth. ]

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-25 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
They're not all as beautiful and friendly as me [ and she says it so cheerily that it doesn't even sound like she's boasting seriously ] but you should definitely keep learning about them! And I'll learn, too!

I mean, this is much more interesting than chemistry.

[NO DON'T FEED HIS EGO, IT'LL BE LIKE A NARCISSISTIC AUDREY II]

Oh, I'm not just the real deal, I'm the only one that matters. [his grin broadens] Back home they used to call me "the Man of a Thousand Jutsu".

[Among other things. But that's alright, everyone picks and chooses things from their past, don't they?]
spiritualist: ((009) wondering.)

Is that what t-rex stands for? I always thought it was just a t-rex. [You learn something new every day, huh?]

But now I'm really craving those fig cookies. We'll have to stock up our meeting room with them! Let's pick a big one for maximum fig cookie capacity.

If you steal, it is a crime, no matter what your motives were.

Motives do matter, as one could decrease your sentence significantly with a decent enough motive...

[But enough defense lawyer talk.]

But that doesn't change the fact that it's against the law.
the_ninja: ({ even if there's a disaster })

[personal profile] the_ninja 2013-03-26 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
[without missing a beat] The Ninja.

[And you aren't get any explanation of that one, Edgeworth, sorry about that. In fact, he just carries on like it's not strange at all to have a name composed of "The" and a noun.]

Back home I was in a police force of sorts but I'm assuming that you work by the usual Earth standards. I can play [mostly] by your rules if that's what you'd prefer.

[She begins to answer, then stops, frowns, and reconsiders.]

I...suppose you could say that? None of it began happening until after the newcomers arrived, but I have no idea whether the two were related. It's not as if the oddities began happening directly after the outsiders arrived.
insectubus: (oh look EMOTIONS)

[personal profile] insectubus 2013-03-26 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, definitely more interesting than chemistry.

Mikio's smile became wider and more noticeable. This girl made him really happy for some reason.]


Then perhaps we should learn about each other. Have you explored much of your district? Where have you been placed?
magicalwright: (★| i wanna see your peacock)

Was your daddy a lawyer too?

I know three! Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice and Klavier Gavin!

Pillows... pillows as far as the eye can see!

[ he meant a name, Kay. ]
