[accidental....er, well, it's not much of a video really]

[darkmirror_vr2]

[The first thing you see when the video starts up is....fur. Lots and lots of fur. This fur blob seems to be rubbing itself against the web-cam, and the whole rest of the laptop, and even though you can't see anything else past it you can still hear a familiar nightmare's voice in some sort of one-sided conversation.]

It was never a big deal before

I'm afraid the month is just beginning.

1/2 [video]

[....why is the computer pinging again. There's some shuffling, the furry wall being moved aside with a disapproving hiss. And a quiet curse as the cam is shut off.]

[and text forever after]

[darkmirror_vr2]

Yeah, I'm trying not to think about that.

[samriprosecutor]

Then I apologize for reminding you.

I take it ceasing their treatments isn't an option.

Edgeworth, even if it were that easy that would be the last possible option.

...I know. Though I can't help feeling it's unfortunate that it isn't your place to decide who does and who doesn't deserve the lessons. It hardly seems fair for someone so ungrateful to benefit from them.

Is she capable of backing up her outrageous threats?

Because in the end it's still always the dreamer's own choice. And if they choose to ignore things, well....they also choose to get used to having them for a long while yet.

....would you like the truth or a carefully thought out lie?

[samriprosecutor]

Point. That's reassuring, if only marginally.

Do you really need to ask, Corinthian?

[darkmirror_vr2]

It was worth a shot. ....she is powerful, yes. She almost reminds me of Elphaba, though with considerably better control and a much looser moral compass.

[Locked]

[samriprosecutor]

That doesn't give me the answer I need. How powerful is she in comparison to you?

[Locked]

[darkmirror_vr2]

[Is there any way to answer this without making it sound bad.]

Pretty damn. She wouldn't be the worst I've dealt with, but she's up there.

Corinthian...

[darkmirror_vr2]

Edgeworth, do me a favor and do not get involved any more than you already have. I think I'm pissing her off enough as is.

[Locked]

[samriprosecutor]

...

Have you decided yet how you're going to deal with her?

[Locked]

[darkmirror_vr2]

....not yet. But I have time, I can come up with something.

Now tell me you won't get involved.

The testimony of a third party would be a far more effective defense than you trying to convince them yourself. ...Perhaps not against the ones who refuse to listen to reason, but for the others...the ones who don't know you or her.
