voice testing and experimenting

[chiefdefense]

So, Miss Mun, you're thinking of taking me on as a prospective partner are you?

As flattered as I am, I hope you realise what you're undertaking. You need to be a little more decisive than you're being right now- which is probably down to you being off your game with a cold, am I right?

A word of advice, steer clear of Cold Killer X.

Well, what are you waiting for? If you're serious about this then you need to put in some research. I hear it's called canon reviewing around these parts, it wouldn't hurt for you to walk into this with all your facts straight. After all, the key to being a good lawyer is to be prepared.

Siiiiis! [DID YOU ORDER A BOOBHUG?]

[BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING]

[acemedium]

You tell your Evil Munistrate, sis! If she wants to play you she has to be swift as a coursing river! With all the strength of the Steel Samurai!

[chiefdefense]

[Oof! Steady on little sister, you might just knock all the wind out of her. But there's a hug back.]

Don't tell me you've been spending all your time watching that TV show, Maya.

[acemedium]

[It's been forever since she saw you in DWRPland, big sis :c EXPECT SOME BOSOM CLINGING]

Of course not! I've been hard at work!

[.... Also hard at working forcing everyone else to watch it with her, but that's beside the pint]

[chiefdefense]

Hard at work on actual work or hard at work on getting burgers?

[But you are having the most loving of big sister hugs despite the teasing.]

How've you been?

[acemedium]

[Normally she might get huffy at the teasing, but Maya's been on the receiving end of so much of it by now she just rolls with it instead] Come on, sis, getting Nick to cough up dough for burgers isn't work at all.

[Hug *A* But let's just, um, sidestep that question because there's no need to worry Mia] So busy! Ace assistants are in such high demand these days.... What about you, sis?

[chiefdefense]

[The hug gets one last snuggle and then Mia draws back and looks at her sister, wry smile on her face.]

Oh, I'm not doing much. Watching, I suppose. The afterlife goes on. I'm sure I don't get nearly as much work done as an ace assistant.

Cold Killer X. [ Phoenix just chuckles.

And... that's all he's saying for now. ]

[takethat]

Chief? That you?




...I see you're still giving sound advice.

[chiefdefense]

[Well it takes her just a moment to recognise the hobo unkempt man, but when she does she chuckles too.]

Nostalgic, isn't it?

Phoenix, when was the last time you shaved?

[chiefdefense]

Well I don't see why I should let a little thing like being dead stop me from doing that.

It's good to see you, Phoenix.

[takethat]

Good to see you, too.

[He's not going to say he's missed having her around... but he has.]

Inhabiting your own body this time, I presume?

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha...!

Well now. Look what the sun shined in.

[chiefdefense]

I certainly hope so, or I might have to sue somebody for stealing my image.

You're looking well, how are things going for you?

[chiefdefense]

That's really the line you're going to use?

[beenwaitinglong]

Give me a break. I'm rusty. I haven't had to sweet talk anyone in a while.

[acemedium]

Oh, come on, sis! I bet there's plenty of spirits around to whip into shape.

... And your mun now, too, right?

[chiefdefense]

I find that very hard to believe; you've always been far too charming for your own good.

[chiefdefense]

Oh she's hopeless, she seems to think that a diet of coffee and ibuprofen's enough to get over things. At least she's back at work, she seems to have the hang of mind over matter.

As for the spirits she's got up here with me... samurai were always your field of expertise Maya. I have a feeling I'd be wasting my breath.

[beenwaitinglong]

Only when I feel like it, kitten, and only when I mean it.

You're looking beautiful as ever.

[chiefdefense]

I wish I could say that flattery will get you nowhere, but you've caught me on a sentimental day.

[Coming over to put her hand on your cheek now, Mr. Armando. Heads up.]

How are you, Diego?

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha...! That's a lie if I've ever heard one, Ms. Fey.

[He's a little slow to cover her hand with his own, and a bit of a crooked smile.]

I have my good days and my bad. Just trying to keep walking.

[chiefdefense]

Are you looking after yourself, or are you looking after everything but yourself?

[She brushes her thumb over his cheek beneath the weight of his hand.]

Because I know how you work, Mr. Armando...

[beenwaitinglong]

I plead the fifth.

[His lip quirks a bit, and his smile grows a little more tenuous.]

When did you get so good at reading me?

[forginattorney]

[ He reaches up to touch his face thoughtfully. ]

Ah... I can't remember.

[ A while, apparently. ]
