[ 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. ]

Ah...erm, huh...? [Abwuuh? She was right! Now that she was closer, Mikio could definitely tell she was past her juvenile stage.]

Forgive me. You were far from the camera and... [Mikio's face seemed to have no emotion. It was calm and expressionless. But it was still quite easy to tell how he was feeling, what with those shades of red forming on his cheeks.] It's rather difficult to look through these cameras. [He leans in to the camera and squints, revealing his yellow eyes and antennae.]

Ah, does that mean the serious gentleman is really an old man?

He might have the hair and attitude of an old man, but he's not even forty!

[ and she's grinning until she gets a better look at him. At which point, the amusement turns into fascination. ] Whoa-- are those real?

Perhaps you will. It would be a great honor to engage in a contest of wits and facts with Mr. Edgeworth. I'm sure it would be quite stimulating.

Faraday? It rings a bell. Why do you ask?

Yep! I'm Maya Fey, spirit medium and assistant to his childhood friend slash rival Nick! Or, er, Phoenix Wright. Mr. Edgeworth and I go back.

[ It's the phrase "public prosecutor" that catches her attention and she watches for a little while, giggling at Kay's impressions and background antics. ]

You could make up a questionnaire to find out information about everyone!

[That was...quite a scene to see.]

Ah, well I'm not sure if this is of much help, but there seems to be an instance where there are other versions of people whom we are familiar with.

Well, yeah. All ponies in-

W-wait a minute! I'm not for sale!

No you don't!

[ okay. so maybe kay amused her. a bit. her voice only slightly betrays that as she speaks; ]

So, didja find anythin' worth remembering?

We do not do theater.

[Edgeworth sighs, massaging his temples as if he just got a headache from that "act".]

I am looking for more information regarding our captors, the districts, and this place in general, preferably apart from general knowledge.

[Edgeworth, at this point, is not surprised to see (and hear) her and remembers the talking pony all too well.

...oh. OHHHHHH. He wouldn't be surprised if there were no prosecutors where this little filly came from. So he tries his best to explain.]

A public prosecutor is someone who gathers information regarding a crime, and builds a case to prove the guilt of the acc - the one who is believed to have committed the crime - in the hopes of discovering the truth, and making sure those who did wrong are penalized accordingly.

[That's enough, isn't it?]

Wh...what?! [Don't startle him like that, man.]

What do you have, then?

[Let's narrow it down, shall we? Work our way from the OH EVERYONE KNOWS THAT to the OH REALLY and the OH I DID NOT NOTICE THIS MAYBE.]

[Gavin...Gavin...hmm, Edgeworth feels he has heard that name before, maybe. But in any case, here was a lawyer, and he seems to know a thing or two about his job. And he did say Edgeworth's name was not unfamiliar.

The prosecutor inclines his head in place of a bow and greets Kristoph with a small grin; he is still seated, after all. It would be silly to suddenly stand up and bow before his phone.]

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gavin. Your assistance is appreciated.

Which fields of law do you specialize in? [Hey, could be corporate, could be criminal, could be whatever.]

Edited 2013-03-12 15:43 (UTC)

[...no, Kay, you're missing all the important details.]

A public prosecutor is one tasked with investigating a crime and proving the guilt of the accused in court, with the goals of upholding justice and revealing the truth.

[When Edgeworth returns to his phone, he nods once, his expression a touch exasperated but at the same time, relieved.]

She's fine.

[She really is.]

[Edgeworth opens his mouth to say no, the Heimlich Maneuver is not required (but a good deal of telling off was certainly required), but instead, his jaw remains hanging open when he sees and hears just who it is speaking.]

...Maya?

[He laughs sheepishly.]

I think that might be a bit rude of me...

[oh kay]

[He blinks. That's actually not a bad idea, so Edgeworth looks at Trucy with some approval.]

Hm. Yes, that would help. And with the network, it can easily be disseminated.

[TELL HIM ABOUT IT.

Well, well, here's something he didn't think he'd hear. Color him surprised. Other versions, which could mean twins or identical siblings but...no.]

Other...versions of people?

Yes, but I doubt we will see the end of this investigation any time soon.

[Edgeworth stands up and hurries over to Kay, reaching out to help her loosen her scarf - even though technically she could do it herself.]

If they're so easily scared, then maybe they're not worth speaking to in the first place.

Well, I'm afraid I was a bit out of it when I arrived here, so if there's anything important that happened then, I may have missed it, but...

[A pause, as he thinks for a few moments.

... Wait—]

... Ah! Er, I can't say for certain, but before coming here, I was, ah, badly wounded. However, I don't believe my injuries were as severe as they were back home. That's not to say that I'm not still recovering, but they should be far worse, from what I know...

[Or, well, there's a big difference between "most likely being dead" and "being badly injured but not dead", but he's not too sure how it would look if he mentioned that particular detail.]

[ She's not an assistant for nothing! ]

It'd need to have some good questions though to make it as effective as possible! Otherwise you'll just be gathering unnecessary evidence and that's not going to get anyone very far!

[She looks mildly amused as she responds, but she remembers meeting Edgeworth before, and he seems competent enough to perhaps make some sense out of this situation. She also remembers how frantic the newcomers were when they were pulled into her world, so if she can help this latest batch (herself included), then...why not?]

I don't know if the information will be useful to you at all, but before I arrived here, my world was...falling apart.
