[There is a strange text message posted to the network from the NV of "Jake Marshall" this morning.]

Beef
salsa
tortillas
chili beans
chips
spices
milk
pancake mix
bacon
eggs
Tabasco sauce! Super spicy

[... yep, that's right. Jake still hasn't figured out there is a text mode. He just thinks it's a memo pad, so he just sent his grocery list

[For a moment, Edgeworth considers not saying anything - but then he remembers that there's an entire network of others who will not spare his pride.]

Mr. Marshall.

[He seems a bit surprised to hear Edgeworth's voice coming from his NV. After quite a bit of fumbling (and an image of a dancing cartoon cactus with "Please hold" appearing), Jake appears on the screen.]

Somethin' up, Mister Edgeworth?

Voice

[mentis_reae]

Indeed. You've just posted your shopping list for all to peruse.

Permavoice, 1/3

...

[wickedclever]

Tasty.

[cactusnwhiskey]

[... was... was that the NV responding to him? Confused, he messes with the NV for a long while, and pokes the video button. He's still got on his standard cowboy fare, and his Texan drawl is obvious when he speaks.]

H'lo?

[Elaine's accent is less discernible, since she grew up in a few different places, but there is a slight chuckle in her voice]

Hi there.

Permavideo, and is this video or voice for you?

[cactusnwhiskey]

Howdy, ma'am. [He tips his hat some.] Don't think we've met before.

[voice]

[axemeaquestion]

Whoah, gringo. Sounds like you're throwing a party.

[After a long pause (in which he's busy messing with the NV to get it to work), Jake switches over to voice.]

Sure y'ain't got the wrong number, Ro? Least I think that's you.

Voice

[axemeaquestion]

It's me. Are you sure YOU didn't?

Permavoice

[cactusnwhiskey]

Pleasure to hear from you again.

... how do you mean? [He still doesn't realize what he's done.]

[voice]

[deceptive_lulz]

Eheh? What are you planning to make?

Text -> Video

[cactusnwhiskey]

How do you mean, ma'am?

[This comes after about five minutes of trying to remember how to get back to the video button.]

[Video]

[deceptive_lulz]

[All right, all right, fine. If he was using video, she'll use it too.]

The list, eehee. I'm not sure if I've ever heard of anyone mixing salsa and pancake mix.

Video forever

[cactusnwhiskey]

I... what? How the hell did you get ahold of my shoppin' list?

[Video]

[tapdancinskelly]

Now that's my kind of food right there. You have some good taste. Yohohoho!

[cactusnwhiskey]

[He responds, after a little dancing cactus appears on the screen for a moment, with "Please hold" written in a nice Old Western font.]

You, er, sure you ain't got the wrong cowpoke? [Walking... skeleton? Is this an NV feature or something weird like that?]

[Video]

[tapdancinskelly]

Wrong cowpoke? Is that like a slowpoke except... a cow?

[cactusnwhiskey]

[His drawl is extremely pronounced, by the way. Sorry for your ruptured eardr- oh wait.]

Naw, it's another word for a cowboy. Now how in tarnation do I turn you off? I don't wanna have to explain everythin' to a computer every time I write down my grocery list. [He still thinks you're a program. Oh dear.]
