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. ]

Mr. Edgeworth wouldn't get as pink as me...

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-17 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
When you start yelling in the middle of their sentences, right? And then they get all scared and tell the truth!
spiritualist: ((011) happy.)

[personal profile] spiritualist 2013-03-17 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Like our own secret club. We'll need a handshake and everything, of course.
spiritualist: ((015) wondering.)

Astralfield. Everybody's saying we just fall asleep all at the same time and then we wake up in some room. It's pretty weird. Almost as weird as the t-rex that was walking around the other day.

[The t-rex isn't as weird for some reason. It was just really cool.]

Hmm? Ah... not that I know of. Unsurprisingly, the fairies didn't help either, unless it was done while I wasn't paying attention—but given their attitudes towards us, I doubt that.

In any case, I'm fairly certain that any assistance I received was from other people brought here.

[DOT.

DOT.

DOT.]


... I'm sorry, but I think there's a contradiction in that statement.

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-17 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Where?

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-17 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll have to discuss this in secret! Mr. Edgeworth will see it otherwise.
spiritualist: ((007) determination.)

[personal profile] spiritualist 2013-03-18 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Secret meetings. This'll be just like TV. We need a meeting place. My suggestion is a place with good burgers.

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-18 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's got to have cool wall decorations, too! Something that screams JUSTICE!

[It took him a moment to shake off the bad memories and get his bearings, but he eventually replied.]

Mister not-an-alien...That would would be quite a handful. Just Mikio is fine, Miss...?
insectubus: (do you want me to put that in my mouth)

okay okay everyone is just early then >:I [video]

[personal profile] insectubus 2013-03-18 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Follow her example. Your quiet voice sounds very tense.

[Mikio may have sounded timid, but he certainly wasn't.]

I have been told that frowning and stressing causes aging at a faster pace.

Kay! Kay Faraday.

Yes. They sound necessary, but most people that are arrested back home are caught in the act.

[Which is... pretty weird thinking about it. Kinda. But I mean, mostly everyone knows when someone does something bad! Like the whole Team Rocket fiasco. So really, it's not all that strange to him.]

They're sent to jail, naturally.

[I mean. That's normal, right?? Just straight to jail?]

T-that's not how it works! What if you get the wrong person? That's why you have a trial, to prove that they're innocent or guilty!

An eagle. Carrying a badge. With those Roman leaf things? [She doesn't even know what they're called, but they seem full of justice to her.]

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-19 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Are those like-- fig leaves?

[ she has no idea. ]
the_ninja: ({ my love is growing })

[personal profile] the_ninja 2013-03-19 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
[he can't help laughing at her enthusiasm] Fill me in a little here- what does truth stealing actually involve?
the_ninja: (Default)

[personal profile] the_ninja 2013-03-19 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
But who's to say that they won't start caring when the truth begins to flow?

[It's his job to be covert and suspect everyone of everything; given the opportunity, he wouldn't conduct any business of this kind out in the open but maybe he's giving the Queen too much credit here.

The Ninja pauses.]


... but maybe you're right. It doesn't look like she really cares enough to take any kind of action- and that's even harder to interpret than if she were actively silencing us. Regardless, I'd be interested in keeping tabs on things for you should you need an extra set of eyes.

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-20 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Evidence? Stuff like documents from corrupt companies, for example.

This had better not be about the thief thing!
the_ninja: ({ is enough to make me faint })

[personal profile] the_ninja 2013-03-22 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so you're more of a thief with a heart of gold- that's a cause I can get behind.

And your partner doesn't mind?

[Maybe he's less of a stick in the mud than he lets on.]

[personal profile] farakay 2013-03-22 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I haven't actually stolen anything yet...
