Run up the rocks! [He points at them with a flick of his sword.] I'll deal with them!

[meowbel]

[And then suddenly? Mabel had an idea!]

Oh, oh! I know! How about we use those rocks and we can totally play a game of baseball with them! I think it'll work!

[prosecutory]

H-How will that work?!

[He doesn't stop running though.]

[nostatus]

[ Element.. spirits.. okay. Sure. Whatever. He'll file that information in the back of his head to turn it over later on when he still isn't reeling a little from being thrown back in here. ]

You're really askin' me to dig here. [ .. okay, not really, considering it doesn't feel like long ago to him.. But his memory is still slowly coming back a little. So he frowns as he thinks for a moment before looking back at Edgeworth. ]

.. when we all got trapped in that weird code.. thing? I still remember that, at least.

[prosecutory]

It seems like you've been away for a few months.

[He nods slowly, taking that bit of information in.]

My name is Miles Edgeworth, by the way. I was among the newcomers who were accused of crimes we didn't commit. [He frowns in irritation. That's still not a very nice memory to relive.]

[nostatus]

I do remember that, at least.

[ It means he at least hasn't been gone for a ridiculous amount of time.. A few months he can live with, but if it had been a few years, it would just have been.. well, weird. On so many levels.

And hey, at least Edgeworth can be happy that Shinpachi doesn't remember just what crime in particular they accused Edgeworth of! A little less embarrassment for free. ]

Oh! And.. I'm Shinpachi. Shinpachi Nagakura. [ Western order since this other guy's name sure sounds western as hell.. ] Good to meet someone who at least remembers some of the stuff I remember.

[ So he doesn't have to feel like he's slowly going crazy. ]

[prosecutory]

A pleasure, Mr. Nagakura. [He inclines his head, acknowledging the other man.] You'd be surprised; there are still many of us who have been here for far too long.

[Thank goodness he doesn't remember the crime. Inflammatory remarks on message boards for children's TV shows? Really??]

Can you please cut that deer and bring it here?

[nostatus]

Of course. [ As Edgeworth says it, he's already cutting the deer.. It might be a gross task to a lot of people, sure, but Shinpachi's whole job description is filled with spilling blood. Compared to the number of people he's cut down for that, cutting up a deer to eat doesn't mean much.

Since he had already started on it a little (after making sure there was nothing lurking in the bushes, waiting to ambush them), it doesn't take too long before he's handing the first piece of meat over to Edgeworth. ]

Well, at least it looks normal enough.

[ The meat, that is. Don't.. ask him what he expected, okay, this place is so weird that the deer could have been filled with just about anything. ]

[prosecutory]

[He skewers the piece of meat on a stick and props it up in the dirt to cook over the fire, nodding his agreement as he squints at the said meat.

Looks like nothing crazy is happening while it roasts.]

I don't recall seeing a deer like this in the jungle we fell into, though.

[nostatus]

[ There's another slightly wary look over at the half cut up deer at that statement.. Just making sure it's not really something weird in disguise, okay! Edgeworth's words sure aren't giving him a whole lot of faith. ]

What did you see there then?

[prosecutory]

Flaming deer. Strange fish with very sharp teeth. Rhinoceroses that look as if they're covered in moss.

[Yup. He rattles them all off in a matter-of-fact tone.]

[nostatus]

[ ...

Look, Shinpachi has seen some weirdass animals in his jamjar life. But all of that? That's definitely ranking high up there on the list despite not seeing them himself. He blinks away the surprise for a moment before the first thing that comes to mind just comes straight out of his mouth.. ]

Y'know, if you'd kill a flaming deer, you'd just have instantly done meat. You wouldn't even have to cook it. [ LOOK, THE CONVENIENCE JUST.. STRUCK HIM, OKAY. ]

[prosecutory]

...Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

[Sorry, Shinpachi. Edgeworth inspects the meat and plucks the stick out, holding up the smoking piece and giving it to Shinpachi.]

The meat was...ordinary.

[nostatus]

[ What a disappointment. And here Shinpachi thought he found the perfect way to skip on cooking and not have to do his part of the chores... ]

What a bummer. [ But he does grab the piece of meat from the other - already biting in it too. You know, as if it wouldn't be hot. He does wince a little because of it, but he's just chomping down on the meat further anyway.. like a true man... a true idiot man who's going to burn his mouth later. ]

Maybe it was only an illusion or whatever. That they only looked like they were on fire, but weren't really.

[prosecutory]

Perhaps. They didn't burn their surroundings, after all.

[That's still some strange deer, though. Edgeworth has no comment on the guy not even blowing on the hot deer meat.]

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.

Soleil

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth grits his teeth. He doesn't really care about the robots. He cares far more about this cravat but they need a new tactic. This is going to hurt him far more than it'll hurt the robots he and Soleil have dispatched so far.

Taking a deep breath, he undoes his cravat with one hand and one fluid motion while stepping back from the robots. The white cloth unfurls itself like a sail, and the robots, not expecting this new turn of events, halt and watch it as if transfixed.]

Consider this a plea bargain!

[And Edgeworth throws it at them. Sure enough, it works; they are now focused on the flying cravat, and Edgeworth decides to make a break for it, grabbing Soleil's wrist and leaving a trail of fallen rose petals in his wake. Well, since he's no longer damp, they're no longer clinging to his suit.]

Kashuu

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth just sighs and nods vigorously, folding his arms across his chest. He's not even going to think about what would've happened if he poofed over the burning stove.

HIS CRAVAT WOULD CATCH ON FIRE.]

Yes, you should. Then you wouldn't have to spend time filling and refilling basins.

Otome

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

If I may, those powers were granted to you, then?

[mombastic]

... Well. I did have to earn them, and I did have the potential in the first place, so it really is somewhat complicated.

[prosecutory]

I see...well, many of us have endured complicated situations before coming here.

[It was complicated enough when it was just Japanifornia.]

[adornmental]

[THE ACTUAL WORST PART OF THAT SCENARIO. What's an Edgeworth without his cravat?? A Hesebe without his doofy purple suit, basically.

Anyway, he has the decency to look a little embarrassed.]

Some fire inspector guy basically told me the same thing a while ago but I totally forgot about it after he left...

Re: Felicia

[maidhem]

But...doesn't everyone have a soul?

[Edgeworth, she's very confused by this now.]

[prosecutory]

Robots don't. Some creatures don't. The beings we encounter in ViViD don't, either.

[He counts them off his still-glowing fingers.]
