01: A man can be destroyed but not defeated

[nosugar_nomilk]

In the mornings, I watch the sun rise over the walls of the prison. It makes you feel like the walls don't matter so much, not in the face of that golden light. It falls everywhere, even here. Good thing I've got my own window. See, it's not all bad. I've heard it said that the only real prisons are the ones we make for ourselves, and there's a

All that coffee was yours? Fairly impressive for one man to have that many distinct blends of anything. Did you run a coffee shop?

[nosugar_nomilk]

Heh. No. Maybe someday, though, who can say?

I guess you could call me an ardent connoisseur. I picked my blend to suit my mood.

[alphashifu]

....You had more than a hundred blends for yourself?

[nosugar_nomilk]

I'm devoted to my passions.

For a while there, I was running on nothing but coffee, so I needed to stock up.

Hey Mr. Godot! They treating you alright in there?

Powers of persuasion are great to have! I use them at least once everyday down at the precinct.

[nosugar_nomilk]

Hey Dick, how's it going? Nice to hear from you. Yeah, they've been pretty good to me here. Other than the coffee, I've got no complaints, thanks. Just doing my time.

I remember that. Missile usually did sit when you told him to.

[duck_gimshoe]

I think Missile's got some powers of persuasion of his own, pal. Just the other day, he whined and cocked his head at me and I ended up handing over my entire lunch.

[nosugar_nomilk]

Haha!

Yeah, I can see that happening. You're too soft-hearted sometimes. You're gonna spoil that dog.

[knights_edge]

Ah yes, I'd suspected the crates of beans were yours.

Have you considered switching to tea? I've heard reports that it ranks considerably better than the coffee.

[nosugar_nomilk]

Was that that famous logic of yours at work?

Oh, Edgeworth. Tea? You shouldn't kick a man when he's down.

Ha--no, just kidding.

I won't say I'll look into it, but thanks for the suggestion.

I'm sorry you're disappointed in the prison fare, Herr Maske. Though I feel your faith in Herr Wright is misplaced, I will drink a cup for you. Which blend would you recommend?

[nosugar_nomilk]

Hey, don't I get a better nickname than that? That's just too obvious.

Thanks. It's good to know they're not going to waste. My favorite was always #102. But why don't you do me a favor and tell me which one you like best? Coffee takes on new life with each new palate.

As for Wright, you don't know him like I do.

[der_gewinner]

You're right, that one was lame. How does Herr Weich strike you?

I haven't yet brewed any of #102, but if it is a natural progression of #101, I think I'll like it with a shot of half-n-half.

All I know is that he presented forged evidence. There is no room for doubt, no matter how nice a guy he is outside the courtroom, ja?

[nosugar_nomilk]

Can't say I'm too fond of that one, either. Maybe go back to the first one, and we'll call it a day.

Ah, so you like a bit of cream in your coffee? Well, you enjoy it, Kätzchen.

I was referring to knowing him inside the courtroom.

Hello Mr. Armando. I'm glad to see that you're doing ok.

[nosugar_nomilk]

Hey there, Pearly! How've you been?

Yes, I'm doing just fine. They're taking real good care of me here.

[pearlyqs]

I've been doing well, and Mystic Maya takes reelly good care of me too!

I'm glad... I always thot prison was scary and they never feed you, but I guess I was wrong.

[nosugar_nomilk]

Good. I'm happy to hear that. I wouldn't expect any less from Mystic Maya.

No, it's not scary, and they make sure I eat three meals a day. It's not meant to be nice, since the people here are being punished, but the staff does their best to make sure nobody gets hurt or sick. So don't you worry about me.
