[ Miles Edgeworth is not meant to live in idleness.

[ This isn't to say that the last few months of his life hasn't been enjoyable. On the contrary Miles has not lived in a more relaxing environment since before his father's death, and spending time with Ken (no matter how crazy situations with S.E.E.S. members could get) had been fun and Miles did not mind following the boy from here to there. Miles argued his way into following Ken to Olivine, and when the latter decided to leave that city for Ecruteak on Tuesday, the grey-haired boy was more than willing to accompany him. All of the other people Miles met in Johto (sans Franziska) encouraged him to relax and have fun, act his age and do everything else that came along with it - and those days were fun. Kisa was sweet to talk to, Heather and Kaito made him laugh and Merlin was always getting into some kind of misadventure and even Shelley de Killer, criminal as he may be, was pleasant company. Life was peaceful here.

[ The downside of this peaceful idleness, however, is that Miles isn't meant for this kind of life.

[ Miles Edgeworth had lived his entire life thus far with purpose: before Gregory's death he strived to become a defense lawyer just like his father, and after von Karma took him in he spent every day studying and training to become a prosecutor. It was the presence of a far-off goal, something to aim for and direct his life towards, that had supported Miles' self-confidence and verve. He is a kind of person who needs something to strive for, and to live idly, to wander aimlessly no matter how enjoyable the days are, is demoralizing. Sometimes, when Ken is off training his Pokémon or for whatever reason Miles is left on his own for awhile, this lack of purpose hits hard. Sometimes, Miles just wants to go back so that he would have something to aim for again, that something that Johto, no matter how magical it was, cannot provide for him.

[ Slowly but steadily over the months, Miles Edgeworth has been growing homesick and depressed, and his Pokémon are trying to get him to find something to do. ]

[ The feed opens up today to Miles seated under a tree and looking at the Gear. Oddly enough it's being used properly this time, not another recording by his mischievous Plusle or other Pokémon. Miles has placed the Gear on his bag as a stand and is looking at it - unsurely. Not that this hasn't been his default face for awhile now, but this time he looks almost uncomfortable as he addresses the network. ]

I... I am considering challenging the gym leader in Ecruteak once we reach the city, as my Pokémon have been insistent on this idea for the past few days. [ They've been nagging him nonstop about it since they left Olivine City in an attempt to give their trainer something to do. Almost as proof of this, Remus the Plusle and Tal the Wooper can be seen bouncing behind him with the Trainer Handbook open to a page on the Pokémon League, looking excited -- guys guys convince him for us too! ]

I've never partaken in an official battle before, and going in blindly without any preparation would be foolish. Is there anything I should be particularly aware of before challenging him?

[ And Miles leans forward to click off the feed, but before the connection it cut off he can be heard muttering to his group of Pokémon-- ]

He's a Ghost type user though... are you guys sure you're okay with this?

[ When time paradoxes start making sense in everyday life... ]

Her father is my teacher. Manfred von Karma; he's legendary.

From:

combat_butler

... if there wasn't a high probability of us being from completely different worlds, I'd almost feel inclined to say "If he's legendary, why haven't I heard of him?"...

But I think Miss Franziska von Karma might suddenly appear out of nowhere and fume at me if I did, so I'll just settle on, um...

In other words, you have a very good teacher!

From:

miniworth

He would do anything - anything - to obtain a guilty verdict for the defendants in his trials...

I suppose the fact that he hasn't lost a case in twenty-six years does make him a good teacher. [ :|a ]

From:

combat_butler

Er... At least he's dedicated?

From:

miniworth

Try to imagine Franziska.

Thirty times worse. [ It's beyond dedicated, Hayate-san. ]

From:

combat_butler

Th... thirty? I... I can see how that would be a bit extreme...

Ah, but-- I like that part of Miss Franziska von Karma! It's part of what makes her so impressive! Sure, she might overdo it a bit, but it's kind of cute, in a way...

... ... er... Just, don't tell her I said that...? I think she would get offended at being called cute.

From:

miniworth

... That's true. She's always been very dedicated to her ways.

[ And he chuckles, and gives a little bow. ] I will keep my lips sealed, er...

From:

combat_butler

--oh! *giving a slight bow in return. So hard to do these over the gear...* I'm Hayate. Hayate Ayasaki.

From:

miniworth

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ayasaki. I'm Miles Edgeworth.

From:

combat_butler

Mr. Ayasaki...? I haven't been called that since Cocona-san upgraded... *OH WELL. kids* Likewise, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miles-san.

*... he is probably using san for the same reason*

From:

miniworth

[ Miles is so used to this san business after four months of Ken calling him with that honorific. ]

... We've met before though, very briefly.

From:

combat_butler

Hm? Have we...? *looking at yoooooou*

... ... ... AH!

When Cocona-san was... That's right... Er... This is... Far far far overdue but, um... I apologize if I scared you then in any way. That was not a good night.

From:

miniworth

It's alright; I was surprised by how fast you ran, but it was understandable. I've seen her on the network since though.. I'm relieved to see she's recovered.

From:

combat_butler

Mm. She's kind of like a little sister to me, so seeing her like that just... Didn't leave me thinking about too much beyond the obvious.

Anyway, she's a lot tougher than she looks! So she's more than recovered. It takes a lot to keep her down.

From:

miniworth

... It's understandable. She's very fortunate to have a friend like you, Mr. Ayasaki. If Ken was hurt, I wouldn't be able to help him unless I have Pip...

From:

combat_butler

Ahaha... It's only natural! I think that anyone would feel the same about her if they talked to her enough.

From:

miniworth

She seems like a very sweet person. She's a friend of Kisa's as well, isn't she?

From:

combat_butler

... er. M... Maybe? I don't know anyone named that, and I try not to pry regarding who knows who around here...

From:

miniworth

-- Oh. Um. I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to..

[ Awkward? Yes. ]

From:

combat_butler

Ahaha... It would take a whole week to chart out who knows who here! It would just be a giant mess of connecting lines that would end up looking like a maze.

From:

miniworth

Perhaps. There are a lot of people here, yet at the same time it's a closed bubble. [ Hhhhaaaah. ]

I do know a lot of people from Iwatodai though.. the people from where all seem to be from one group.

From:

combat_butler

--ah? Y-You mean like closed space? I don't think Haruhi-san is here anymore... Though I think my maze of relationships isn't that complicated...

Oh? You mean everyone from Mitsuru-san's world? Well... It is pretty normal for everyone who comes from the same world to know each other! That's just how things seem to work. ... it's very convenient.

From:

miniworth

Only abstractly. Back in my world, it's easy to travel between different countries or into space. and it's easy to have millions of people you don't know, but I don't think that kind of traveling is available in Johto. What we know of this world exists only on this land and on the island where Cianwood is... it's a closed bubble.

[ And he nods. ] It was the same for people from mine, though I didn't know most of them them. Almost all of them knew about me.

From:

combat_butler

... space travel is easy back in your world? Must be from a good ways into the future... I don't know about that... There just aren't any paths to take to go anywhere else! I'm sure if we had reason to we could go to a different, ah... region.

Oh? That sounds... confusing.

From:

miniworth

Not exactly easy, but it's somewhere scientists and machines have gone to study. All the books I've found in Johto are on Pokémon; I can't even find a decent history or geography book.. It doesn't seem like the ferry to Cianwood goes anywhere else, either.

[ Now a shrug. ] They all said they're from my future. Last I checked, Franziska is closest to me witha ten-year difference.
