[ Koumyou is dressed not in his priest's robes, but a new-yet-somehow-shabby fast food worker's uniform, complete with a little visor. He's taking his smoke break beneath a narrow overhang, trying to avoid the steady, light rain just beyond him. He takes the cig from his lips to address the recorder. ]Has anyone found a suitable place to buy pipe

Is that a joke?

[ He smiles! ]

Hello Edgeworth. I'm not joking. I really do smoke pipe tobacco. I'd forgotten... the flavor is very diminished in cigarettes, and the smoke is harsher. It's really quite hard on my lungs.

I'm not referring to your damned tobacco.

The rush from the nicotine is better with cigarettes, though...

You seem to be in a pretty fiesty mood today.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not that specifically, no. Protecting the weak, yeah.

[eyes_unopened]

Ah yes. I suppose all with the ability are called on to do that on occasion.

Voice.

It's probably less of a hobby, and more of a full-time goal.

You want to make things just all the time?

Does that mean you find vengeance to always be just?

Voice.

[tipofatlas]

... Probably. If you don't, you're probably not a superhero.

Not the last time I checked. I'm simply a Sanzo priest.

...And a cashier. They don't trust me with the grill or the deep-fryer.

It seems we have a common problem. [his kiseru is poised in one hand, visible on the feed] I'm reluctant to start with cigarettes, myself.

People devote themselves to all sorts of things, not just in their free time. The intensity of their focus can be surprising at times.

Devotion isn't necessarily a bad thing. But when a person's goal is that subjective, they tend to get tightly wound up in it.

[ sighs ]

I do miss my pipe tobacco...

[behind him is a dingy wall that formed half of one of the many alleys in Sector 2. His hair is no longer gelled for the purpose of this conversation, but the stubble on his chin remains, as does his semi-faded button-down shirt and tie.]

The longer I look at your clothes, the more I wonder how you put on a hairnet. [he takes a draft from his cigarette] Unless you don't.

[a sardonic smile at the word 'vengeance'] All of the above don't get along with folding paper airplanes, do they?

I am supposed to, but I have to bunch my braid up and it's rather uncomfortable. [ laugh, in other words, he hasn't been wearing it ]

No, they don't. They're not balanced or gentle enough.

[heretic_monk]

Maybe. [lets his cigarette dangle from his lips as he fiddles with his NV's controls] You'd run out of interest before you even begin to fix it.

Gentleness only attracts trouble in a chaotic world.

You would say that, wouldn't you?
