[CLOSED] SWEET DREAMS (Integra and Irisbot); IC: 06/25

[Edgeworth has had no word regarding the robot doppelgangers beginning to take over the lives of their real counterparts so far. His day is normal, and he has yet to encounter any robots today. Right now he's sitting at an outdoor table at one of his favorite little restaurants, awaiting a nice cup of tea to round off his lunch. He's just there, occasionally peering into the window or at the door to see if the waiter is already bringing him his tea. Ah, there he is. The prosecutor sits a little straighter, eager to try their newest blend.

He doesn't suspect that a robot already has morbid designs for the rest of his day, although they'll turn out a lot less morbid.]

[OPEN] ENOUGH WITH THE ROBOTS ALREADY; IC: 06/26-06/30

[After the encounter with Iris' robot, Edgeworth is more vigilant now, and still mentally beating himself up over letting his guard down despite all his suspicions. But he isn't locking himself up in his apartment till this boils over. He goes about his usual business, only armed with not only his trusty saber but also a pistol.

Anyone (and/or their robot) will find him in the following places:
- The police station, no duh, that's where he works.
- The gym, in the mornings. Training.
- Possibly jogging in the streets in the early morning. Like, a little after dawn.
- Walking his dog in the gardens.
- Around the Shopping District, buying stuff and looking for his favorite cafés.

Select a location and give me all you've got, yo!]

Comments

[feytality]

[Mayas are great at lowering guards. Robots or elsewhere!]

[Mayabot follows his eyes curiously as he examines the suits... and continues grinning at him in a completely Mayalike fashion]

Wow, really? I didn't know you wore other things!

[She always thought the ruffles were a part of him.... along with the wine red.]

But I guess you're not cheap like Nick and you can totally afford new stuff! Are you gonna get more fancy suits?

[Perkiness and insulting Phoenix: check]

[prosecutory]

[Do people really believe I only ever have one type of clothing?]

Maybe.

[He strokes his chin.]

But perhaps not today. I need more practical outfits. [For fighting and kicking butt, yes. Think of the cravats he could ruin.]

[feytality]

[As if Maya is even in the position to be making comments like that in the first place]

[But the robot seems shocked by this revelation.... are we sure this Edgeworth isn't a fake?]

Oh, oh! Let me help! I know all about practical!

[Definitely.]

[prosecutory]

You...do?

[He blinks at her. "Practical", says the girl always running around in her spirit medium outfit. Then again, it would be like Maya to make such a claim.

Your move, Mayabot. Edgeworth is not on to you (yet) but it's hard to tell.]

[feytality]

[Excuse you, Edgeworth, she's the most practical and stylish!]

[But this is exactly what the real Maya would say so she's doing pretty well]

Yeah! You want something comfortable but stylish, right? And you're a waaaaay sharper dresser than Nick! Lemme help! I know what's what!

[No version of Maya really does, but hey]

[prosecutory]

I'd...rather not impose, if you have anything better to do.

[It doesn't look like Maya has anything better to do today, though. He's also not sure if he should trust her sense of style.

...her sense of style most likely has no cravats.]

[feytality]

No way! When's the last time we hung out? With all this robot craziness going on, I'd rather stick with you! So I can keep an eye on you, and all.

[It certainly doesn't. She's already peeking about the suits with interest]

Do you have any plans after this?

[prosecutory]

Not really...

[His voice trails off. She'd rather stick with him? What about Phoenix? Wouldn't she choose to stick with that spiky-haired lawyer first?

But it's too late. He just divulged his lack of any other plans. If this was the robot...]

[feytality]

[IT REALLY IS. But speaking of that:]

Great! 'Cause Nick said he'd come over to hole up away from evil robot clones... so maybe we can all hang out and watch TV together, or something, to pass the time...

[If this a robot, maybe she's got Phoenix!! Uh oh!!!]

[prosecutory]

[YES THAT IS ACTUALLY WHAT HE WAS THINKING. If this Maya is Mayabot, then maybe she has Phoenix in her clutches!!!]

...Is that so? Then I'd like to visit, right now.

[feytality]

Woah! No shopping or anything?

[everything is going according to plan (????)]

But sure thing! I've found something really cool I wanna show you! I bet you'll love it!

[is this dead Phoenix or Steel Samurai, it's a mystery]

[prosecutory]

I think the shopping can wait a bit longer.

[Something really cool? Either this is Maya excited over something, or robot excited over something. The latter is disturbing. The former can only mean trouble.

Edgeworth seems chill on the outside, in a good mood. But inside he's already going through all the available options.]

Very well.

[Lead the way, Maya(bot).]

[feytality]

[If Maya(bot) notices Edgeworth's secret unease, she definitely doesn't comment on it. In fact, she seems to be in a pretty good mood 0 though once in a while she'll look around with a hint of nerves, as if she's concerned a robot will pop up and attack them. She also makes sure to keep close to Edgeworth as they head to her apartment]

I bet you'll love it! And then I guess we can finish shopping later.... maybe even get Nick to come along. If anyone needs a new wardrobe, it's definitely him.

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth considers that for a moment, likewise vigilant.]

I beg to differ. I prefer his new wardrobe over the old.

[feytality]

Just because it's better doesn't mean that it's good.

[She still remembers the hobosuit.... and that was truly awful.]

[Anyway, soon enough, they'll actually make it to the apartment. Uh oh.]

[prosecutory]

At least it doesn't look cheap.

[OOH BURN.

And Edgeworth is too busy insulting Phoenix's fashion sense to be vigilant enough, oops.]

[feytality]

I don't know about that, Mr. Edgeworth.....

[Well, nothing out of the ordinary yet! The TV's set up with Steel Samurai DVDs, there are a ton of blankets on the couch, it looks like a pretty neat little apartment. Aside from the fact that it's a two bedroom apartment with only one person in it, there's nothing that stands out too much about it. Maya hasn't even really decorated it, aside from a samurai poster or two.]

Why don't you make yourself comfy while I get the surprise ready?

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth looks around; nothing seems out of the ordinary. His eyes do hover over the Steel Samurai DVDs and the samurai posters, and he can't help but step closer to the DVDs for a closer look, glancing up every so often just in case anything changed.

Then he quickly moves away, watching the floor as if expecting any tripwires.]
