AND EVERY LAST INCH OF ME IS COVERED IN FRILLS I don't know how to do overflow posts correctly or seriously

Phoenix + Integra

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!

Too late. Edgeworth smirks.]

I know a place where we can find a decent walking stick for you if your joints have begun to give way, Wright.

[bewrightback]

I'll pass on that, Edgeworth...

You probably need... all the walking sticks you can find as it is. [Good save, me.]

...Let's just settle for getting my head checked out for now.

Apollo

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!

It shouldn't be hard to find them in the colony, especially with their communication doohickeys, but wait...wait, Apollo just named a person Edgeworth has yet to encounter. He pauses, eyes popping wide.]

...Trucy's here? [Granted, he didn't know her for too long back in Death City. But she is Phoenix's adopted daughter, and he can't help but look out for her.]

[andimfine]

[ Apollo offers him a curious look before giving a hesitant answer. ]

Yeah. Mr. Wright and I were actually trying to find her and Athena until we got seperated.

Larry

[prosecutory]

[EW IT SMELLS IN HERE]

It was dark...you were in a tunnel when the roller coaster stopped? But how did you know they were Santas, if it was so dark?

[failures]

Well, it wasn't totally dark. There were still some lights from the ride, but all the overhead lights were out. So like...

[He does some hand gestures to accentuate his story,]

I could see flashes of 'em when they stepped in front of the lights. Believe me Edgey, I've dressed up as the guy. I am very familiar with that red getup. I know it was him.

Maya

[prosecutory]

[NO CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR YOU, MAYA THE GHOSTBUSTER]

[feytality]

[WOW RUDE]

[Anyway, he can take the sword from her quite easily - the lights coming back on and everything - but she huffs at him from where she is on the ground]

You're the ghost, not me! How should I know your haunting spots of choice?!

Kaito

[prosecutory]

[Let's talk about interior decorating]

Er...thank you, but I do know any style can be overdone.

[SEZ YOU, LOOK AT YOUR OFFICE AT HOME.]

[carptricks]

Do you now?

[. . . pointedly staring at those frills. they sure are like what, 17th century fashion??]

Judith

[prosecutory]

[He won't rest until he has inspected every suspicious-looking nook and cranny.]

Because I'm investigating this...new attraction. I try to find out everything I can about this place.

[brbwalking]

... Well, I can tell you it's not the most child-friendly.

Simon

[prosecutory]

[...says OVERFLOW!]

And at times, a threat to life and limb.

[His face is grim, as if he's seen his own share of threats to his life and limb.]

[shacklebreaker]

Hmph... If they cross me, they'll be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal before my blade.

[...Although for all his bravado, there's not a lot he can do if he brings a sword to a gunfight. Those machine guns the robots here are carting around, for instance, could mow down the entire park's population of customers within seconds.

It's not an encouraging thought.]

Tieria

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth shakes his head.]

Not quite. They think they can handle these matters without us and don't consider this place a state, or a country.

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria frowns, knowing just what kind of organization would disregard such an important thing. Those that needs intervention... Looks like he has to look deeper into CERES to determine his next course of action. ]

That's ridiculous. This colony is large enough to be a city, it certainly need to establish a working law system. Those robots are poor replacement for law enforcement.

Larry

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth remains completely serious and nods solemnly.]

I did warn you. And that isn't the strangest part.

Mia

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth is slightly taken aback at Mia's reaction, but that's to be expected. So he just nods.]

Yes. [Yes, he's Edgeworth.] Are you all right?

[chiefdefense]

[Mia's still a little dazed, but she does manage to maneuver herself into an upright position.

Talk about degrading, swooning onto Edgeworth.

she nods, and scratches her temple.]

I think so. That wasn't exactly... well I don't know what just happened there, but I don't recommend it.

Yang

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

Hopefully. [He sighs, then thinks of something. What if...what if the same glitches that tossed Edgeworth into this ocean could finally be used in their favor? Has this ocean and whatever was in it changed, just a little bit, maybe, since Yang got here? She mentioned the eel-like creatures, but if he can keep away from their range, he could investigate a bit...

Edgeworth closes his eyes and breathes in and out, not believing what he's about to do next.] Yang, I need a favor - watch my back. I'm going to dive down and see if any new landmarks have appeared since you arrived.

[flaredo]

... Well, if you're up to it-- sure! I'll keep an eye out for you.

[ Please don't drown. ]

Athena

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Well, this is bad if even ViViD-savvy Athena is clueless. He stares at the Tonberries, armed and yet not exactly that dangerous, because they weren't charging toward two very confused humans stuck in a video game.]

Maybe we should change our strategy! [a.k.a. show no mercy and actually kill the things.]

[psycholawgy]

[ She straightens up at the command. Edgeworth sure sounds like some sort of general right now. ]

R- Right!

But I can only heal. I don't think I'd be able to do much aside from that.

Mabel

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[He experimentally moves his arm when Mabel is done with it and nods in approval and thanks. His mood significantly improves, too. But while potions would be useful, there's one kind of loot Edgeworth would really like to get his hands on.]

The only "treasure" I'm looking for is the exit. [And there isn't anything around them that looks like a door or a gate or a passageway to the real world.]

Sousei

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

Yes; we should continue our investigation. [They should continue forward and keep their eyes and ears open. It really isn't much of a plan, but they don't really know much about their surroundings at the moment.

Suddenly, the walls, floor and ceiling all begin to ripple as if they were all made of water. Edgeworth stands his ground, keeping his feet firmly on it...and yet, despite what he sees, the ground remains solid.

Soon, several open doorways open all around them - eight in all, for each direction.]

[deontology]

[...................... blergh.

He doesn't like this at all, he really doesn't.

Sousei narrows his eyes at all of the doors, and then shakes his head firmly.]

We stay together, and go through them one by one if we must.

[Getting split up would just spell trouble.]

Oona

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[It's part of Edgeworth's job description to see the depths humans sink to - and to make them pay. So yes, he can be very critical of his own species.

When Oona mentions their kidnapper, he gives the door a cursory glance.]

No, but perhaps they were disguised. [He doesn't completely rule out the possibility that they may not be humans at all, period.]

[mermaiding]

Disguised? ...Ah, to hide their faces. In case we recognize them? Smart, suppose...

[Considering many of them would probably enact revenge if they passed them in the street.Or maybe that was just Oona. Bored now with this conversation that was leading nowhere to violence, she turns to the window]

Well, am leaving. Will miss that show if I stay here much longer, an if I do not find out if Amelia is pregnant by her husband or the the evil twin, will be very mad. [soap operas are super serious business god damn it.] How do we do this...

Anna

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

Er...I'd rather that you didn't, and just stayed close to me. [Anna no. Don't get yourself into danger.]

[sjokolade]

Oh. [She sounded disappointed but kept up the smile though]

Then I'll do my best to make sure that I'll be good company for you! C'mon, we can't stand around and do nothing! Let's go already!

[She said before walking toward said random direction!]

Heung Soo

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

I was having my lunch break. [No commonality between their circumstances prior to their unwanted trip to ViViD.] Thankfully ViViD was kind enough to let us know we're playing a game, at the very least. [Sarcastic.]

[unathletic]

It's not much of a game anymore.

[ Yeah, he sure shares that sarcasm. This whole situation sucks, and it's eerily close to some of the more dangerous situations that crop up around the city from time to time.

He doesn't like it. ]

I've seen some people actually getting wounded. [ As in, not just game damage that you can heal with a potion. Actual wounds that won't go away. ]

Shepard

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth scans the whole room, looking for familiar faces, and faces he can't quite put names to but are nonetheless identified as others pulled into Cerealia.]

I recognize some of our fellow captives; they aren't native to this colony. As for our captors...they are probably disguised.

[safeguarder]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[She's still thinking about it.]

At least they didn't injure us that badly...again. That'll make things easier.

[She's being positive about it, at least.]

Oz

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

Call on...something?

[A creature of sorts? But why did Oz only suggest this now? Maybe its skills were limited?]

[harepiece]

Right! [Apparently that's all the explanation Edgeworth is going to get for the time being... Oz is busy standing on his toes trying to get a look out through the window, too, in the meantime.]

Metal is enough to break metal, usually... I just need a little space for it, so I think trying other things first might be better.

Kagemitsu

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

I don't know, but we could be held for ransom, or information.

[firstcloud]

[ He gets ransom, he has family even if he thinks it's more likely that they will burst in and get themselves into trouble. ]

Information from us? Or someone else?

Shiho

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

Of course. I'll be more careful. [Edgeworth senses that this is still not the right time to ask questions.] ViViD has become very unpredictable.

[good_ideas]

Yeah.

[And since she can actually read the game like a book, it's even more unsettling to her that it seems to be shifting and trying its best to make this an extremely unpleasant experience.]

I picked the route with the most traps, so don't get lost or killed.

EVENT 026.EXE: FILE NOT FOUND

[prosecutory]

[Original top level]

Zoro

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[His posture relaxes; Zoro did not press Edgeworth for more details, and he didn't seem fazed by the sight of his own bloodied body.]

It would seem so. [He reaches up to place a hand on the mirror, and this time, he sees his reflection.] I apologize...for seeing your memory.

EVENT 027.EXE: HUNGER OTOME GAMES

[prosecutory]

[Original intro log!]

Shinpachi

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth returns with the stuff he needs to make a fire, gets down onto the ground and gets to work.]

That's right. [His brow furrows as he recalls those days, and as he tries to remember how he made a fire last time.] We suddenly found ourselves falling through the sky and into a jungle, and we were there for several days.

EVENT 032.EXE: PROPERTY OF CERES

[prosecutory]

[Original intro post.]

Felicia

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth shakes his head.]

I can attack people with energy from my soul.

...Normally, that is. Think of it as an electric shock that only works on beings with souls.
