023 [video/action for Violet]

[cheapblusuits]

[Good afternoon, Route! After eloping with with his psycho ex-girlfriend, nursing his sick best friend and generally taking care of a few obligations, Phoenix has finally popped back up on the radar! And -- hey, what's this? When the feed opens, the guy is actually smiling!

...well, to be fair, there's still an incredible amount of strain in his

[miniworth]

[After an intense session of acting like a Maya in pursuit of burgers and Steel Samurai goods, Edgeworth had somehow convinced Phoenix and Dahlia to let him tag along, since he was still extremely cautious about these two being anywhere alone, and he's sticking close to Dahlia, though his motives are well-hidden.

His fever had gone down, and he was feeling better. Being cooped up in that room wouldn't have done him any good, anyway, so he stands a bit away from Phoenix and Dahlia with Pess, watching.]

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

[While Phoenix can't say he's too pleased with Edgeworth wandering around while he's still sick, he's grateful for some company other than Dahlia. Spotting Edgeworth after speaking with his girlfriend, Phoenix grins and trots over, Butch trailing behind him.]

Er...are you feeling alright? You didn't have to come... But, if you're up to it, we could go pick up some hot chocolate or something to celebrate my win? [Phoenix, stop dragging a sick kid around town.]

[action]

[miniworth]

Pess wanted to see you battle, too. I'm all right. [The Growlithe gives an affirmative bark. Her trainer would be okay, he doesn't have the "dying and sick" smell he had earlier, and she'll keep him warm!]

Hot chocolate does sound nice, though. [There is no way he'll pass up that offer.]

[action; which reminds me -- we meeting at Princeton today, or? :3]

[cheapblusuits]

Well, if you say so... [He reaches down to rub Pess's head affectionately.

And, at the affirmative to the hot chocolate, he straightens again.] Alright. You want to go now, or...? I have a feeling Jack and Maya will want to tag along, too...

[action; Uh, yeah! I'm going to feed myself and then try to get there.. around 2:30?]

[miniworth]

Any time is all right with me, since I don't have any plans.

Although, do you know if they sell mufflers anywhere? I think I promised Kay something about mufflers, and it might help me keep warm...

[action; /moves to ooc derp]

[cheapblusuits]

[ooc; Alright, I'll go ahead and leave now, then -- I'll probably be at the library when you get there, so give me a call and I'll head over to Michael's or something and meet you? :3 (I need to buy linearting pens, orz...)]

I'll check with everyone else and see what they're doing. I think I owe Apollo and Trucy lunch, too...

--mufflers? [Oh god Sl-9 flashback -- he blinks.] Er, you mean, like a scarf? I'm pretty sure they do.

Do you want me to buy you one?

[action]

[miniworth]

[ooc; And I just scarfed down some toast, so I'll leave too. I'll definitely give you a holler. c: ]

---Um. Miss Trucy... I haven't seen her around, actually.

Miss Kay called it a muffler, but I guess... it's a scarf, huh. [He looks pretty sheepish.] I-I'm sure I have enough money to buy one myself... I think.

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

...you haven't? [It was rather odd, though -- he would have expected her to be around when he got his badge, but he hasn't seen her around since that chat they had over the Pokégear...

...he hopes she isn't mad at him or anything.]

It's no problem. [He waves a hand dismissively.] I still owe you a birthday present, after all.

[action]

[miniworth]

Not even a shadow, no.

...Perhaps she went home.

You really don't have to Wright. It's not even March anymore in this world.

[Awkward face is a go.]

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

[Oh god don't screw him up more than he already is. He laughs, but it's forced.]

I'm sure she's just off training somewhere. We'll run into her soon enough.

[...he hopes.]

[action]

[miniworth]

Mu... If you say so.

[action]

[miniworth]

....Oh.

I know this is out of the blue, but..

[action]

[miniworth]

I met Detective Gumshoe.

[And he told me everything.]

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

--Detective Gumshoe?

[...he figured he must have. Gumshoe sort of kind of spilled his guts to Phoenix, too.]

...er. Well. How...how much did he tell you?

[If Gumshoe told him enough, then...Phoenix is honestly kind of relieved. He wasn't really looking forward to that conversation, tbh.]

[action]

[miniworth]

...He told me that I shot Prosecutor von Karma.

[action]

[cheapblusuits]

[...he nods.]

The bullet that was dischanrged when you threw the gun, and went through the elevator door...von Karma was there.

He was...angry, at your father, for putting that black mark on his record. So, when the doors opened and he saw you all there, unconcious...

[...he dwindles off. Then, after a short intake of breath, he continues;]

He...he didn't stop there, though. von Karma, I mean.

...did the Detective tell you about what happened afterwards, yet?
