Things happened, and more stuff being planned.

Miss Mun, I'd be more than willing to cooperate with you if you didn't have such cruel intentions behind your ideas. While I was pleased to see my son doing well, I was aware you had an ulterior motive behind our meeting.

I'm not here for your entertainment and neither is my son. Are we clear? As long as you understand that, I'll continue to work with you.

Unfortunately, Father, the reality of our situation is not what you would wish it to be.

I'm aware of a few details, but I can hardly believe the things that have been said.

One grows accustomed to such things, at least from this standpoint.

I assume it's more like you have to when there's little to no alternative option given.

[Let alone a logical answer to anything.] I simply don't want these plans to further cause a problem for you.

If it's any consolation, I'm fortunate enough to find myself in the hands of someone who wishes to avoid torment for its own sake, though she is willing to expose me to it as a means to an end. The plans involving you and a particular version of myself, too, are something she sees as a means of fostering growth, reconciliation, and perhaps a path to a brighter future.

[Particular version of--...this whole multiples of the same person is going to take some time getting used to.]

It's...reassuring. I appreciate your mun putting some thought into her plans. Admittedly, I'm intrigued by some of the concepts behind the...other version of you.

[That is such an odd thing to say]

[The younger Edgeworth blinks at that.]

Really?

Yes, as an idea, but nothing more.

I'd be concern that prosecutors would end up relying too much on their "god" rather than their own abilities.

I feel precisely the same way, even while the fourth wall is firmly in place. Indeed, this thread illustrates the sentiment well.

Fourth wall? [...Pardon your father as he tries to make sense of some of the terminologies that is this RP thing.]

This sounds more like a large-scale cult. Who in their right mind would burn vital evidence that could be helping them with a case?

No one would, and my own typist agrees on that point. While paperwork can be copied or reprinted, neither of us have any idea why evidence in particular was included in the original tag. From an in-character standpoint, that is one of many behaviors I've attempted to discourage.

I am afraid that I have to agree with my other self, Father. Not every plan that our muns have in store for us is exactly.....pleasant. [To put it mildly.]

[....there's two of you now. :|a]

And we're forced to partake regardless of how we feel on the subject, am I correct?

[WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RP, DADDY.]

......Unfortunately, yes. [While Miles is trying to hide it, it's clear that he's not happy about this possible scenario because WAT R U GONNA DO 2 MY PAPA? ;_;]

[Miles :(]

You've been here for quite some time, haven't you? [which could be read you've been in that spot a few times already]

Hmph.....you don't have to worry about me. I haven't been through anything that I cannot handle. [Miles, don't talk BS to your father. D:]

[Especially when you suck at BS-ing]

I'm your father, I'm suppose to be concern for your well being. Being older doesn't change that. Although it's likely I will not be able to help you in most circumstances, I'm still here if there's something troubling you and you want to speak to me about it.

[CAN HE GET A GOLD STAR FOR TRYING? D:]

......

I don't think that is relevant for now.

[No. Why would he reward his son for trying to lie?]

...

All right. Can you at least tell me how long you've been here?

In my game? [A pause while he thinks about this.] I suppose it's been almost eight months now. [Eight months in hell. Yay!]

In general, but that works as well. The game is called Tower of Animus?

......Yes. [OMG DON'T GO THERE DAD OMG IT WOULD BREAK HIS HEART IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU. ;_;]

[Mun and muse were reading on the details before we got back to this.]

It sounds like a dangerous place you're in. [YOU SURE YOU'RE GONNA BE OK!?]

...[Mmph. Daddy YOU ARE MAKING IT SO DIFFICULT FOR HIM. ;_;] I will be all right. [Well, as all right as he can be.] As long as I find out the truth, that is all that matters.

[ Hi, Gregory. Have a young magician beaming up at you, looking excited to see you despite the fact she's got no idea who you are. ]

Hi there, mister! Sorry to hear that your mun is making plans that you don't like. At least, that's what it sounds like...

[Well she's...certainly excitable towards someone she doesn't know. ~~where's her parents?~~]

That is exactly what I was referring to, young miss. [As with every new person he meets, he takes his hat off and bows his head in greeting.]

My name is Gregory Edgeworth, and I suppose you could say I'm a new arrival to this place.

That's not good! But maybe something positive will come out of it, you never know, right?

[ And then he introduces himself, and her eyes widen. ]

Edgeworth -- are you related to Uncl-- [ Whoops. ] --Miles Edgeworth?

[ Oh, but now she's being rude. She grins up at him again and reaches up to tip her own hat politely. ]

My name is Trucy Wright, magician extraordinaire, and it's really nice to meet you Mr. Edgeworth!

...? [What was that? Uncle?]

It is a pleasure meeting your acquaintance as well, Miss Trucy, and yes he is my son. Are you acquainted with him?

Oh, so you're his dad! Neat! Yeah, kind of... he's kind of my daddy's friend. Sort of.... sometimes I wonder...

Your father's friend? [...Now that he thought about it, didn't Miles mention he made a friend with a last name Wright?]

Might I ask who your father is?

Oh, daddy's name is Phoenix Wright! I think he and Uncle Miles have been friends for a long time now.

[There it is again.] I see. Then I was thinking of the same person.

...Is there a reason you're calling my son, Uncle Miles?

Yep! Because he's daddy's friend, and that's what I like to call him. I don't think he likes it very much, though.

[ And then she blinks again, taking notice of the attorney's badge resting on his lapel. ]

Hey, you're a defense attorney!

[...hehe he can imagine his present-day son not liking it.] It sounds like the two of you talk with each other often.

[Subconsciously he fiddles with the badge on his coat.~~Gotta present my badge~~]

Yes....does that surprise you?

Not too often, just when daddy or Uncle Miles needs something run back and forth to one another, really.

[ She can't help but nod, because... well, Miles is a prosecutor, and she's never really heard the story before. ]

Kind of, I always though you'd be a prosecutor, too.

I'd make a terrible prosecutor if that were the case. [He's far too polite.]

My son wanted to become a defense attorney once when he was a child, but he decided to become a prosecutor later in life.

[ She can't help but giggle at that -- TWO Edgeworth's as prosecutors? That'd just be terrifying. Miles is scary enough in ~~and outside of~~ the courtroom. They don't need two. ]

Oh? I never knew that! He doesn't talk about his past much, at least not to me.

Edited (...i fail.) 2013-08-01 01:02 (UTC)

[He can understand why his son wouldn't, and it doesn't feel like it's his place to tell her about it himself so]

Prosecuting does seem to suit him better.

Yeah, he's very good at it. Daddy always kind of sweats when he talks about his courtroom battles with him.

[Courtroom battles?] Is your father a defense attorney as well?

He used to be...

[O-Oh] I'm sorry if I brought something up that I shouldn't have.

No, you didn't! He used to be a great defense attorney, though. He wants to re-take the bar exam again, though!

Hm, if I may ask, how did he lose his badge in the first place?

Someone framed him with forged evidence. It was during my real daddy's trial... I'm adopted, you see.

I...see. [A frown.] This person must have had a history with Mr. Wright to taint the truth in the court of law. An unforgivable act, regardless of the reason behind it.

Though I don't personally know Mr. Wright, I wish him luck in regaining his badge that was forcibly taken away by someone's act of cowardice.

He does... it's a long and complicated story, honestly.

Thank you! The next time I see daddy, I'll be sure to pass the message along. [ She will, too, as she's shoving his face into law books. ]
