[Wandering the streets of this strange new place seems for too long seems dangerous, and not to mention futile. In anticipation that it will actually prove useful, he fiddles with the strange device he's received, prepared to give it a piece of his mind, if nothing else.]My presence here will prove to be nothing but an extravagant waste of time.

[That-- That voice--]

[verily_ergo]

[That-- that cravat--

His once trusted mentor, his father's murderer and one of the most feared--if not the most feared--prosecutors ever known. Miles knows it's von Karma as soon as he hears that voice and the visual confirms it.]

[verily_ergo]

[All at once, Miles is tempted to throw his communicator across the room. He doesn't, of course, and the thought to actually do so doesn't even cross his mind. Nonetheless, a horde of unpleasant memories hits him suddenly and he simply stares at the screen in numb disbelief.]

...

... [Years of habit click into place, and he decides he must face the man now. He's quite bitter about the whole thing, though he's made attempts to put it behind him, and he so far remains calm.]

You are in Discedo, Manfred von Karma.

.dskfjskd done.

[verily_ergo]

A dead city on a dead planet called Fortuna. You were brought here by a group of scientists and have had a chip implanted within you for unknown purposes--most likely, control.

There is no escape. You are trapped here, just like the rest of us.

Miles Edgeworth. [He inclines his head, as if in greeting.] It is unbecoming of you to believe such fallacious lies.

[verily_ergo]

It is unbecoming of a prosecutor to ignore the truth.

[fingersnapping]

I am doing nothing of the sort. You are the one who is clearly failing to see through an illusion. I expected better of you.

[verily_ergo]

I have been here for months. If you seek an illusionist, you need only look in a mirror.

And, what you expected of me is irrelevant. As you must remember, I am no longer a puppet with which you amuse yourself.

[A scrutinising pause.]

[fingersnapping]

What makes you believe you can speak to me in such a manner?

[verily_ergo]

Clearly conviction has done nothing to change you. I am unsurprised.

You are guilty of my father's murder, Manfred von Karma.

[fingersnapping]

...Conviction? I have committed no crime to be convicted of. And how dare you make such unsubstantiated claims without a shred of evidence!

You saw nothing.

[verily_ergo]

Do not take me for such a fool! You framed me for murder and if it were not for the discovery of the bullet in your shoulder, I would have been found guilty of Robert Hammond's death and trapped under the illusion that it was I who was responsible for my father's murder.

Of course not! <3

...Are you suffering from delusions, Edgeworth? You ought to see a doctor. In this state, you would prove to be nothing more than a liability in the courtroom.

[verily_ergo]

You could not admit that Father had caused you a penalty, even if the case had been won. When you were shot by the discharged pistol and found him lying unconscious in the elevator, it was the perfect opportunity to exact your revenge for marring your perfect record!
