[He just smiles wryly.]
(What is with me and attracting teenage girls? Geez...)

You know, I think this is the first time you and I have actually had a talk. You, uh, been doing well?
(...Now I wonder if it's actually a good thing that she prefers that kid to me.)

I guess I've been doing alright. While I appreciate your concern, it's actually pretty nice to get a chance to bum around. Though I better not get too used to that, huh?

But, uh... I wouldn't mind if you're careful about where you're thinking of putting me. Really.

...Don't hold your breath on careful muns. I'd know. This one's more reckless than me when I first came to Earth.

[Sideswipe hikes his thumb digit back toward his mun who is snickering behind the collar of her Decepticon shirt.]

[Well, that's... That's a robot. And nothing quite like your Steel Samurais, or whatever. Phoenix cracks a wry smile.]

Well, it's worth a try, isn't it? You never know what you can get by trying to appeal to people a bit.

...Truuuuuue.

_{[Sideswipe pokes his digits together.]}

Always worth a shot. I mean, it's not as though she's gotten me killed like she did one of her other muses.

_{[Huge cringe. Death doesn't really appeal to him obviously.]}

[Some nervous laughter.]
(Did he say "killed"? What have I gotten myself into...)

That's, ah, that's great. Hopefully I can manage the same for myself... I don't think my mun is the type to do that sort of thing.

(Probably. What would I know?)

Ah, Wright. Allow me to extend a dubious welcome.

[Edgeworth regards him with a calm expression, grey eyes intent.] I say dubious, if only due to the fact that it's highly likely you will end up in an unpleasant situation. I myself have been lucky, but another version of yourself that I've spoken with ended up in a tower full of monsters and other strange fauna.

Edgeworth!
(Finally, a friendly face! Er... Well, at least it's a familiar one.)

[While he may look excited at first, it doesn't last.] Another version of myself, huh...?

Well, if there's already a, uh, me in a place like that, that's one less dangerous place for me to go, right?
(I wonder how long I can keep deluding myself with optimism. Yikes.)

Edited 2013-05-01 14:06 (UTC)

[It's a friendly enough face, at least. He acknowledges Wright's greeting with a polite nod of his head.]

Yes, another version. Older, it seemed. That being said, I have been told by others that there are far worse places than a tower rife with monsters. Perhaps you'll get lucky. I've not gone anywhere, and quite frankly, I prefer the relative solitude.

Maybe. Me and lady luck are on pretty good terms by now, I think. Though I'm not sure why anyone would want to play an older version of me.

[A slight chuckle.] Well, somehow, I don't find that very surprising. I think for now, it's looking that way for me, too.

You had better hope your luck does not run out, then. However, it always seems to serve you frustratingly well. [This bit might have sounded annoyed if not for the faint smirk - it's something he's gotten over long ago, losing to him.]

It's possible that my mun would be willing to make arrangements with yours, if there is some semblance of interest - at least it would stave off boredom in the interim.

[He grins.] I'm glad you agree. I am pretty thankful, though, since it's saved me from some tight spots before.

Looks like my mun seems pretty excited about that. I guess I'm finally gonna get some attention. [Not necessarily a good thing there, Nick.] I mean, it should be better than monster-towers and just sitting around. Right?

Splendid. I shall have her send over some contact information.

[Edgeworth is still smirking, and glances sideways at him.] Attention. Hm. There's no telling if that is a positive or a negative. Monster towers or not, I daresay there could be plenty of...complications arising.

Complications? [The combination of the smirk and sideways glance is making him edgy, Edgey.] You sound like you know something I don't.

I actually don't. But I am aware of the potential for them to occur. These Muns tend to be as unpredictable as my witnesses, it seems...and it only seems...fair to warn you.

There are certain times that I feel you'd be better off knowing all the facts before we begin - seeing you flail about is not always enjoyable.

[Edgeworth is smirking a bit, amused, but not arrogant. It's evident his words are said more out of a dry, friendly teasing than any malice.]

(Trust Edgeworth to pull my leg like that.)
People are like that, Edgeworth; they tend to be chock full of surprises. But I think I can take it.

Thanks for your consideration. But you did just say that you don't know something that I don't, so you're not really telling me anything, are you?

[He returns that smirk with one of his own.]
(Edgeworth, Edgeworth, Edgeworth. It might have been a while, but you and I will always be on equal ground, no matter which way you put it.)

Well, if you think you are up to task...I look forward to it.

I suppose that it's something that we'll have to discover on our own - and together, it would seem. [Edgeworth pauses, tapping his fingers on his arm lightly in thought.]

Not the first time, I suppose.

[He chuckles.] Well, I guess I do too. It's been a while on my end.

Together, huh?
(Team EdgeWright, back in action! ...I'll need to think of a better name later.)

Yeah. Come on, we make a pretty good team, don't we?

...I am inclined to say yes, when we have a common goal. And as more often than not, that goal is the truth, I would have to agree. Even though we have vastly different methods and ways of thinking.

[Edgeworth was not about to ascribe a name to their little 'duo', however Wright might wish to.]

You could say we're complementary.
(Uptight to my laid back, fancy to my casual, red to my blue... But at least he's not making fun of me yet.)

Though you're right, and I don't know if a common goal is really something that'll come up in whatever it is we do. Can always hope, though.

[Complimentary he says? Interesting, and not entirely inaccurate. He sat down in a chair, looking contemplative.]

I suppose we will know with a little effort. I look forward to it.

Yeah. From that, at least I can gather that it won't be anything particularly uncomfortable or something.

(...Right?)

Are you trying to woo your Evil Munistrate?

[A few moments of silence for that terrible pun.]

No, Maya. I'm not doing anything of the sort. Have you been hanging around Pearly too much, or were you just dying to use that pun?

[Like you can talk about terrible jokes, Mr. Wright-All-The-Time]

Oh, really? Cause it sounds to me like you're fishing for a game!

What's Pearly got to do with it? That's what they are! ... Or well, mine is, anyway.

I'm not "fishing" for a game. Just asking her to think carefully about her decisions. I'm perfectly alright with taking the back seat here.

It's because you used the word "woo"? I just... [He rubs the back of his neck.] Never mind. So you've got a lot to deal with, huh?

But that's so boring! What are you even doing, cleaning the toilet again?

Ha ha. You better count your lucky stars she's not here! [As for the rest, well:] I guess you could say that. [....]But it's nothing I can't handle!

No! (There aren't any toilets up here for me to clean...)
I'd rather be boring than stuck in any dangerous places, thanks very much.

[A small smile.] Of course. I hope you're not by yourself anywhere, though.

Are you suuuure? [SUSPICIOUSLY QUICK DENIAL...] Come on, where's your sense of adventure? You're like an old lady!

Ha ha. Are you worried about me, Nick?

I'm sure. And wasn't it "old fart", anyway?

I don't see anything funny about being concerned. Besides, knowing you... I think I'm alowed to be at least a little worried.

It's both! At this rate I'm going to have to combine the two for... Super Old Lady Fart, or something.

[And somebody's skirting around the subject...] Hey! What is that supposed to mean?

Well, your creativity is astounding as usual.

[A wry smile.] Come on, you know as well as I do that you're prone to getting into trouble.

Like you could come up with anything better!

It's not like I look for it! [Huff!] Well I'll have you know I haven't been accused of murder once!

Your inordinate luck should be no excuse for lollygagging, Wright.

It's my "inordinate luck" that usually puts me in tough situations, you know. Don't you think I deserve a break every now and then?

Unfortunately, your mundane will be the judge of that, not me.

That's true.

I think that she agrees... As far as I know, she doesn't have any serious plans for me, so I think I'll get that break.

What about you, how're you holding up?

[Edgeworth just stares at Phoenix for a second before saying with the most deadpan expression and the most level voice:]

I am currently in a city in the middle of a war, and my weapons are a man who can transform into a flaming broadsword, amplified persuasive speaking, and...my soul.

I have been in it for nearly three years by our time. Only about nine months have passed in the city itself.

(Geez, look at that death glare. It was just a question!)

(But how the hell am I supposed to respond to that?)

Well... You're still alive and kicking, right? [A sheepish smile.] Ah... I don't know what to say to that, Edgeworth. I'm sure you're past any sort of condolences.

[OOC: I meant that he's spent nine months ICly in the game and wow it's like, 11:30 PM right now on my side of the world.]

Only because character deaths are not permitted.

...And I've long since learned how to fight properly. [Which means he could flip you over in a martial arts throw, Phoenix. Watch out.]

[ooc: I see. Oh dang, we have opposite time zones, it's around one pm around here.]

...So does that mean that you might have died, but it wasn't permanent?
(Just what has he gotten himself into... I know you're capable, Edgeworth, but we're lawyers, not warriors.)

Good. I'm glad to hear that. I guess you've had a lot of time to adjust by now then, huh?

No. My mundane would have to go through all the trouble of "reapping" me back into the game if I died.

[He nods at that second statement.]

You don't expect me to go about my regular life in such a dangerous city as if the war didn't exist, do you, Wright?

Edited 2013-05-03 14:39 (UTC)

That sort of deal, huh? Well... That's good to hear. Considering the alternative and all.

Of course not. But you never struck me as the fighting type, you know? Maybe more like... a tactician, if anything.

I'm not saying I don't use strategy as well. Besides, to become a good tactician, I must also have firsthand experience of the battlefield.

I just didn't think getting your hands dirty was your sort of thing.

I don't doubt that you'd be great to have as an ally, Edgeworth.
(Your relentlessness probably works to your advantage on the battlefield.)

Edited 2013-05-07 14:41 (UTC)

I could have left the fighting to the others, but I cannot rely on them constantly if the world I'm in is fraught with war and danger.

[His hands were dirty, sure, but at least they were only dirty with the blood of supernatural creatures.]

.../slides in here

/shifty glances?

I hope I'm not to late to jump in - why is the suspense theme playing on iTunes now

No such thing as too late, my dear. And obviously it's great background music for our showdown.

If it's a showdown you want, it's a showdown you'll get.

Just watch the hair, I don't need any of your flying fingers in the hair.

I should be telling YOU to watch where you point those fingers.

He likes to stretch his arm, what can he say.

I'm sure he can stretch it without bursting anyone's personal bubble.

You never know, the guy's got some interesting intimidation tactics...

Unfortunately, we can't argue with that.

I'm glad we're on the same page.

Well, these two are sometimes also on the same page.
