[Edgeworth is, as ever, using voice. However, when he speaks, he sounds deeply exhausted, deeply miserable - and deeply ashamed. Behind him is the sound of the modern prison - intercom announcements, slamming doors, harsh footsteps, low conversation.]I've been allowed my NV back briefly to speak to all of you. The message I have is this: do not ( Read more... )

Only an idiot would mistake you for the type of person to attempt murder.

Cheer up. As you said, you'll be acquitted, assuming your courts have anyone intelligent in them at all.

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 00:45:41 UTC

Yes.

Voice / Private ysobritish November 16 2010, 00:47:48 UTC

That's what's admirable, I think. I lost my faith in governments and laws a long time ago. But I admire yours.

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 00:50:33 UTC

Then why not believe again?

Voice / Private ysobritish November 16 2010, 00:54:10 UTC

[There's silence for a little while before he speaks.]

...I think... I'm afraid to put my faith in the wrong thing. Besides, I'm a criminal. It'd be hypocritical.

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 00:56:45 UTC

The latter is easily solved.

Voice / Private ysobritish November 16 2010, 00:57:32 UTC

Are you telling me to turn myself in? Or to just put down my gun?

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 01:01:43 UTC

The latter for a start.

Voice / Private ysobritish November 16 2010, 01:06:49 UTC

Hm...

[He considers it idly for a moment.]

And if I did put it down and never picked it up again?

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 01:12:15 UTC

Then you could work to a more productive future.

Voice / Private ysobritish November 16 2010, 01:23:13 UTC

[A soft laugh.]

Now you know, I do love a challenge.

[And putting his gun down would be one hell of a challenge, far worse than that month at the university. Liquid lived for needless fighting.]

...one month.

[The words are thoughtful and soft.]

I will try living like that for at least that long. No weaponry, no fatalities by my actions, no unnecessary fighting - and nothing criminal. Although I'm not sure what would count as a forfeit for something like that.

[Not that it really mattered. Liquid almost never backed out of anything.]

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 01:26:15 UTC

[A long pause.]

And do you ask anything in return?

Voice / Private ysobritish November 16 2010, 01:28:01 UTC

Why would I?

More than anything, I'm curious as to whether I could live like that. Father certainly didn't believe I could.

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 01:30:30 UTC

There must be an impetus of some sort.

Voice / Private ysobritish November 16 2010, 01:31:40 UTC

That's why I'm trying to think of a consequence for failure. I'd need to get someone to enforce it, of course.

Voice / Private mentis_reae November 16 2010, 02:40:41 UTC

What do you hate?
