[OPEN] It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

[prosecutory]

Who: The lesser frilly grumpy evil (prosecutory) and YOU!
When: IC: 03/28-04/04; OOC: Dec. 12-15.
Where: Everywhere, locations under the cut.
What: Miles Edgeworth looking at things and maintaining his buff bod. Choose your own adventure.
Rating/Warning: Nada. 

[OPTION A: CERES TECH & AUTO SHOP

Even a stick in the mud like Edgeworth has needs - and quite a few interests, and some things he missed from home. One of the worst features of this colony, as far as he is concerned, is the sore lack of animal companionship. Unless your pets tagged along with you when you were brought here, you either had to be content with a CYbuddy or nothing. While he missed his dog all the way back in his home world and the two dogs he and Genesis owned back in Death City, it was probably for the best that none of them would be brought here and experience the crazy life he has.

Since he much prefers an actual dog, he isn't going to get a CYbuddy. It just wasn't the same having a robot running at your heels and doing time as a search engine.

That won't stop Edgeworth from passing by to look at the CYbuddies available, though. They sure came in a variety of sizes and shapes - or rather, breeds, if one was so inclined to consider them "breeds" instead of "models" or whatever. Seeing a border collie CYbuddy is making him nostalgic...excuse him while he lingers a bit longer at the dogs...]

[OPTION B: ALSO AT CERES TECH & AUTO SHOP

He does have a much better reason to be at this shop than peering at CYbuddies and telling himself over and over that they won't be the same as real pets. Edgeworth needs a better way to get around the colony quickly, so he is looking at motorcycles. Yes, one of the things he learned from CRAUtown was how to drive a motorcycle because Death City was too cramped for cars.

Most likely he is looking at red models that are good for sidecars. Intently, one might add. This is serious business. Either he gets one now, or continues to save up enough credits for something bigger. Admittedly, he misses driving a real car. At least he had some of that when he was briefly returned home a.k.a. had a canon update.]

[OPTION C: CERES GYMNASIUM; morning

Edgeworth hangs out here every morning to train and spar with people. When he's here, he is NOT wearing his complete suit at all, but instead changes into a long-sleeved, collared white shirt - although the burgundy trousers are still there. He exercises and works on what he knows in the realm of martial arts - which is just enough to give him something to use when he's drawn into a fight, certainly not enough to win any awards - and can be seen using this gorgeous blade when it's time to work on his sword skills. They're not that impressive, really, but they're something, since they've kept him alive so many times.

Feel free to bug him; he doesn't mind gathering up more sparring partners and teachers. You may catch him in the middle of a session or just as he's wrapping up and getting ready to haul his butt to work.

BONUS: If you're here REALLY early, between 6 and 7 AM, you might catch him swimming laps in the pool. Dem abs. I'M SORRY MOVING ON - ]

[OPTION D: SHOPPING DISTRICT

One side effect to learning how to use a sword is the sword nerdery that comes with it. Occasionally, Edgeworth stops by weapon shops to look at the display of swords with a careful eye, his own sword carried in a scabbard strapped to his belt. While he likes his trusty saber enough, there may come a time when he'll consider picking up a spare blade.

IT HONESTLY SOMETIMES MAKES HIM FEEL LIKE THE STEEL SAMURAI.

This is the sword nerdery option, you have been warned.]

[OPTION E: WILD CARD!

IDK. Auste you have too many options.]

Comments

OMG lakjdflas thank you, and yes please more people should play AA

[prosecutory]

Yes, we have. [Edgeworth nods; they HAVE met before. And he reaches out to take the proffered hand.] My name is Miles Edgeworth. [He doesn't mind letting the conversation drift back to swords, though. Learning how to use them has given him new respect and fascination for these weapons.]

As to why I chose a broadsword...it has much more to do with the kind of world I found myself in before this one. I recall telling you that this wasn't the first time I was drawn into a world not my own. [Stating the facts here, that's all. The broadsword was his closest confidant.]

np!! it's definitely interesting so far

[meriter]

[ It's pretty noteworthy in and of itself, since Elliot doesn't make a habit of remembering anyone who hasn't necessarily caught his interest in the first place, much less any that make much of a favorable impression on him. Anyways — it's high time he's met someone that happened to make any sense in a world where hellish animatronics went on the fritz like every other day. ]

Yes, you mentioned you'd been brought into another world under less than fortunate circumstances. I suppose the type of sword you'd prefer would be an acquired taste.

WHAT CASE ARE YOU ON

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth glances at a large, almost unwieldy blade on display. He folds his arms across his chest, and while his expression is serious, there is a reminiscent touch in his gaze.]

Yes, it would. I've tried other weapons...both living, and inanimate, if you would believe that. Some persons transported to that world gained the ability to become Weapons.

LANA SKYE i think, i am so behind

[meriter]

[ It's too bad Elliot isn't half as adept at nuances, or he might have some chance at redemption in his purportedly bland default expression (which bears more likeness to an exasperated cad that anything else, to be honest). ]

It's bizarre. I can't say I've encountered any similar circumstances. That begs the question, though. Have you ever heard of the Abyss? Or of Chains? Surely you must have heard of stranger things in the last place you resided within.

IT'S OKAY the games can be a big ol' time sink

[prosecutory]

I can't say that I have, but you would be right in saying that I've encountered many strange things in that alternate Earth.

[Or, if he has, he has forgotten it...like how he forgets that it's Mr. Monkey, not Mrs. Monkey. Get with it, Edgeworth.]

no they're really fun + i love them v much, i'm just horrible at real consistency

[meriter]

You can't leave such an open-ended phrase and not expect a rebuttal?

[ He's almost joking now, which is weird, because normally Elliot's a poster child for bad ideas and miscommunication. Weird ... ]

Strange might not have the same connotations for you as it does for me. Care to explain?

[ Well, maybe he'll just chalk it up to desperation for answers on his part, as his endeavors into cracking CERES's hidden agenda have proved to be an exercise in futility. ]

ME TOO I'm going at a snail's pace on AAI-2, the game that never got localized but got fantranslated

[prosecutory]

It's very strange for me, because the world I'm originally from has none of the...quirks and enemies and powers in the second world I encountered. I was used to a far more mundane life.

[Spirit channeling was strange enough. Living weapons, powers, witches, monsters that ate your souls, and even facing your inner demons literally...they were all like consecutive hard bolts from the blue.]

nice!! i'm on the last case of aa: justice for all now but i'm just super slow in general tbh

[meriter]

There's nothing mundane about things here now.

[ weirdness just comes with the territory. elliot doesn't necessarily have a gauge for normal, as his idea of ordinary came with sinners chained to hell and people decapitating themselves around him, but you know, that's just how it goes sometimes. ]

What was your original world like?

T&T is going to be intense so HANG ON

[prosecutory]

Very normal, compared to most. [He shrugs nonchalantly.] The only supernatural power that exists in our world is spirit channeling. As for the technology...it isn't as advanced as what we have here. [Edgeworth sweeps one hand to indicate their surroundings, even though they're in a weapon store.]
