miniworth | 006 [video/text]

[The feed opens to show a very hyper, very happy Growlithe grinning at the camera, and then she looks up and spins in a circle, trotting off-screen before the camera turns and shows Miles Edgeworth with a Poliwag jumping up and down next to him. Pess and Tadpole are back in action, guys! Littleworth, although he wasn't grinning like a retard or dogpiling with his Pokémon like some others, is almost radiating happiness and relief and--

-- what is that sad, lost smile on his face?

He's definitely trying to shrug off whatever's eating him, though, and he picks up Pess, showing her off to the camera.]

She and Tadpole are back to normal, everyone-- I hope your Pokémon are, too.

[There's a small pause as he gives the camera a contemplative frown, as if he's debating something, and then--]

Miss Hawthorne, you're probably still confused by everything, but things are back to 'normal' now, at least for now. Please be careful on your journey, though. [He's genuinely concerned about Dahlia, really, but he's not sure how to approach anyone in this world anymore.

Pess squirms around and jumps out of Edgeworth's hold, onto his lap. But the boy barely acknowledges her as he still stares at his Gear, a frown on his face.

A few, long seconds of silence later, he reaches over. And the feed cuts off.]

Larry, there's something I need to talk to you about.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'll try to talk to him. [But he's having a really hard time getting people to listen to him here. It's a little depressing, actually.]

Augh. I know I know this. Could you describe her more for me? It might help me remember.

[Fight, oh, Apollo!]

She's... she was an extremely pretty person, with red hair. And she had a parasol..

And she called Wright "Feenie." [He's stuck on that, to be honest. He just can't get over the fact that Phoenix was nicknamed Feenie. Snrk.]

[Hmmm... the picture's getting clearer.]

...Feenie? That's...not a nickname I'd ever associate with Mr. Wright.

Did she give you her first name?

It was Dahlia. Miss Dahlia Hawthorne.

...Dahlia.

[!] A-aaah! I remember...I think.

[!!]

You do?

Have you met her? --back where you came from, I mean.

No, nothing like that. Her name shows up in a few case files and not for good reasons, if I'm remembering right.

.....Then she definitely cannot be planning anything good here, either, Mr. Apollo.

--- what happened to her, though? Has she been caught by your time, or...?

Probably not. And unless we do something, Mr. Wright might just walk right into a trap.

Yeah. [Forehead poke. Hmm, wasn't she executed too?]

We need to keep him from running to her like a lovestruck romantic, if we find out where she is.

[...that's great, Miles, but how? He can't really put a leash on Phoenix. Well he could, theoretically.]

If we do find out where she is, how are we going to keep Mr. Wright from running off?

_{Knowing Phoenix he'd sneak off on his own -- which he did/does.]}

If we had a psychic Pokémon, we may have been able to put him to sleep...

Maybe we should lock him up somewhere.

[Oh, don't worry. Apollo is going to chew him out when he gets back.]

...I don't think either of those options are ethical. Besides, we couldn't restrain him forever.

_{[Unless Dahlia bites a chunk out of Phoenix first.]}

It would buy us time until we found out her true intentions, though.

Just-- he can't be alone with her.

We could follow him, I guess.

---We could.

_{I don't see how that idea is any less ethical than mine, but...

[Yes it is, Edgeworth.]

[[ ooc; They totally should follow Phoenix. I'll call Nick tonight and ask her about it! :D b}

It's the only thing I can think of. If we can't stop him, we could at least keep him out of as much trouble as possible this way.

[Lmao oh god. Apollo Justice and Miles Edgeworth: best ninjas ever. Or not.]

True... Miss Hawthorne has a bug-type, so even if she attacks Wright, our Growlithes can easily take it down.

Wright may not appreciate us following him, but I don't want him getting hurt, or worse, killed. I think Miss Hawthorne is capable of that.

_{[[ ooc; They magically blend in with the green grass despite their red clothes! I think it'll be pretty epic.]]}

I'm hoping it won't come to that.

He's probably going to be pretty upset. It is an invasion of privacy.

[Even so, he can't let anything happen to Phoenix. Not just because of ~the future~. In spite of everything, Apollo knows that Phoenix is a good person who doesn't deserve to die just because he's a stupid idealist who really needs a reality check. And Trucy doesn't deserve to be put through any more pain. She needs him.]

He can try to sue us for all I care. I'd rather he hates me than watch him get hurt, maybe even die.

[His determined look softens, and he averts his eyes.]

I don't want to see another father leaving his child, either.

[Apollo gets the feeling that they might be in for worse than being sued.

As for the next thing Miles says:] It won't come to that.

[Worst case scenario would be that Phoenix won't trust them ever again, or at least ignore them until kingdom come?]

---It'd better not.

[Apollo's not entirely sure Phoenix really actually trusts him to begin with.]

We'll keep an eye on him. With any luck, we can catch him before he even sees her.

[Neither is Edgeworth, and Edgeworth isn't sure if hetrusted Phoenix completely, to begin with.]

We will. [Determined face, awwyeah.]
