how long has this girl terrorized my headspace

[yatagarasu]

It's been almost three years since the Yatagarasu first conquered your headspace, Mun! We should celebrate!

...So what if it's still a couple of months away? And so what if you can't remember the exact day? We should throw a party! Where do you keep the party supplies?

Is a party absolutely necessary, Kay?

[yatagarasu]

Of course it is! It's a special occasion - the day I stole a spot in my mun's headspace!

[truthsnomiracle]

OBJECTION! If the intention is to celebrate a particular day, should the celebration not at least be in the correct month?!

[yatagarasu]

But isn't that what advanced celebrations are for?

[truthsnomiracle]

It's interesting how that qualification only materialized just now.

[yatagarasu]

It still stands as a qualification!

[truthsnomiracle]

Nngh... nevertheless, the proposed timing of this "party" leads me to suspect that you merely wish to have an excuse to be rambunctious at the spur of the moment.

[yatagarasu]

Hey, it's not an excuse!

[truthsnomiracle]

By your own admission, it's months too early. Days in one direction or the other can be excused by mere convenience, and in this case weeks can be excused given your lack of any record of the precise date; months, however, are too far removed from the time in question to be a logical association. Ergo, your timing is less related to honoring a particular moment and more to your own desire for a party.

[...Edgeworth, are you prosecuting her for wanting to have a party.]

[yatagarasu]

...Mr. Edgeworth, it's only a party. C'mon.

[truthsnomiracle]

(Are Kay and my typist ganging up on me?!)

I-I merely fail to see why such... such revelry is the least bit called for at this point in time!

[yatagarasu]

Because three years ago, Mun picked me up and has been taking me to games ever since!

[truthsnomiracle]

Three years ago as of two months from now, by your own admission!

[yatagarasu]

Close enough!

[truthsnomiracle]

I highly disagree with your definition of "close enough"!

[yatagarasu]

Does it really have to be on the exact date? This is a free country! Or...world! Whatever!

[truthsnomiracle]

Given that the exact day is unknown, I only insist that it be in the same month.

[yatagarasu]

And will the party police arrest me if I don't hold it in the same month?

[truthsnomiracle]

Er... (Blast.) The "party police", as you put it, typically will only intervene should there be suspicion of illegal substances, underage drinking, or if the party causes a disturbance of the peace, such as by involving music sufficiently loud to be a nuisance to the neighbors.

[yatagarasu]

...wait, party police actually exist? I thought I was just messing with you...

[truthsnomiracle]

At the very least, the police will intervene should a party have illegal aspects or become a public nuisance. This will typically involve the substance abuse unit even if that particular subset of crimes isn't known to be involved, as substances that compromise judgment can often lead directly to annoyance of one's neighbors.

[yatagarasu]

...

Do you really think I'm gonna hold that kind of party that needs the police to keep it down?

[truthsnomiracle]

No, hence my qualifying the situations in which they would intervene with an "only" in response to your question.

[And this is an Edgeworth trying to hide his annoyance at being out-argued a few tags ago behind his general disapproval of parties.]

[yatagarasu]

Look, I promise you won't need the police for my party, okay?

[truthsnomiracle]

...Very well.

(Given that it took three weeks for her to continue this thread, my initial attempt to dissuade her has grown outdated to begin with -- even had she not seen through it.)

[candygirlish]

You're a yatagarasu?

[yatagarasu]

[OH NO PLEASE DON'T GET HER STARTED.]

That's right! The noble thief of the truth!

[roundpinkpuff]

Can I come to your party?
[And will there be food-*shot*]

[yatagarasu]

Sure! Everyone's invited to the party!

[She'll find a way to make sure food is involved, don't worry.]
