[There are a few notes scribbled onto the network every now and then, most of them too quickly written to be legible. A few select words can be made out if you squint at them long enough: "City", "Electricity?", "Les", and "Dark".

A few minutes later, a video feed crashes into existence.] Agh, dammit. [David picks up the notebook blank side ( Read more... )

[It's the Les that tips him off at first. Jack sees the name out of the corner of his eye as he halfheartedly scans the NV, and does a doubletake when he notes the semi-familiar handwriting. His heart automatically leaps-- but of course, it won't do to hope. Why should he hope? There's no way it can be who he thinks it is. There's probably hundreds of Lesters throughout America, let alone the world, let alone all sorts of time periods. To assume it's his Les, and therefore his Davey, is just setting himself up for disappointment. There's simply no way, because it's been three months and two worlds and none of his friends have shown up; why should now, in this time, in this place, be any different?

Still. He watches with bated breath.

And then the feed comes on, and there's David glancing at the camera. David, looking just as intelligent and wary as always, looking so painfully real Jack can do nothing but stare for a good few seconds. His hands are shaking, his mouth slightly ajar as he forgets to breathe, his eyes wide and face pale as he watches with shock. It's almost-- almost-- impossible to believe, and for a moment he swallows, terrified this is some sort of cruel prank.

But it's not. Even if someone here could fake the picture somehow, no one can fake David's tone of voice, nor his choice in words. Of course he's worried about his parents. Of course he's being rational about all of this. Whereas Jack yelled and demanded answers, emotional to the end, David sits back and thinks about the situation and acts like someone with half a brain.

Jack wants to speak, of course. He's dying to speak.

cowboy_newsie October 26 2010, 00:24:18 UTC

Except what if it goes wrong? What if-- oh, god only knows what. What if it's not David, somehow? Or it's a David from a year ago, before they knew each other? Or perhaps Jack himself has changed so much, been through too much darkness, to be recognizable to his best friend. After all, it's been a hellish three months, and for a moment Jack pulls back, terrified to speak for fear of being called out how different he is, how apparent it is that he isn't the same boy as he used to be.

You're a friend of Mr. Kelly?

[He jumps when a voice comes out of nowhere. More glancing around, but after talking to Jack, he figures it has to be coming from the book.]

Uh-- Yeah, I am. Can I know who's asking?

[voice forever] mentis_reae October 26 2010, 01:38:15 UTC

Miles Edgeworth. I'm a prosecutor for the city. To ascertain - you're from New York City, correct?

[video forever!] taughthonesty October 26 2010, 01:40:51 UTC

Y-Yeah, I'm from--

So I'm guessing you know Jack, too?

I suppose you're satisfied with your answers?

[video] taughthonesty October 26 2010, 02:04:41 UTC

I guess... Though if there's anything you think is worth mentioning, please, don't hesitate to do so.

[video] heartdissonance October 26 2010, 02:05:29 UTC

Discard face value.

[He snorts.] Heard that one already, though it's always worth remembering. Anything else?

Your parents aren't going to miss you.

Franziska! How could you say something like that?!

[video] dancing_pierrot October 26 2010, 06:04:14 UTC

[God, why is this girl always so angry at her.]

Because it's the truth.

[It might have something to do with the fact that you're A DOUCHE, FRANZISKA]

I'm sure his parents love him very much! Of course they'd miss him!

Um! Has anyone told you about this place yet?

taughthonesty October 26 2010, 22:05:53 UTC

Yeah, I have a friend here. It's all a little crazy, really.

acemedium October 27 2010, 01:13:41 UTC

It's super crazy! But it's true.

taughthonesty October 27 2010, 02:34:00 UTC

Apparently. It's all really hard to believe, though, and I really can't help but think it's just a really bad, if not complicated, dream...
