010 [video] Fourth wall event!

[miniworth]

---Gotcha.

[So what's Edgeworth up to today? Well... he was catching Butch and Tadpole, who thought it would be a wonderful way to exercise if they stole Edgeworth's Pokégear and run all over Violet. And that's how they spent the day today! Pess, being a good girl, is off visiting Phoenix at the Pokémon Center.

And Edgeworth had just caught up to the two Pokémon. But wait. This isn't Violet anymore. The moment the Gear stops shaking like crazy, the camera manages to focus on..... the inside of an elevator?

Unfortunately, Edgeworth doesn't notice until the doors close behind him.]

......Huh?

....W-where am I...?

[Panic settling in three, two, one.....]

Oh god... [And the feed cuts off as Edgeworth drops his gear, suddenly feeling sick to his stomach.]

[[ooc; FFFFF I hate writer's block, especially those that hit at the best moments. =u= ;; But anyway, a shorter, less depressfail version of Edgeworth's fourth wall event, that I definitely like better. Action posts to people in the department store, on the fourth floor, which is where Edgeworth will THROW HIMSELF OUT OF THE ELEVATOR BECAUSE OH GOD TRAUMA, and video/audio/text responses will come about an hour later, once the kid calms down and feels better! c: Responses will be slow-- I'll probably be busy both Saturday and Sunday until the evening. =w= ;;

Butch used with permission from Phoenix Wright mun cheapblusuits! I think Phoenix is in possession of Pess and her egg for this weekend, as well. ]]

[Tinyworth is already pulling out his own wallet. He had enough to buy a bowtie.]

Most people were given three-thousand, back in New Bark Town, but a strange woman who called herself "Mother."

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I do not recall meeting such a woman, or coming to such a town. I believe I was directly transported here. Goldenrod, is it?

[miniworth]

Yes, this is Goldenrod.

Some people end up in a different city, but that's usually Mahogany.. it might be a malfunction - but do you have any of the money on you?

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

...I'm afraid not. [He takes out his wallet, even. Nope. Nothing that looks like unfamiliar money to him.]

[miniworth]

I have some money on me - I'll pay.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[NUUUUU TINYWORTH YOU DON'T HAVE TO even if it's so cute]

Ah...you do not have to...

[miniworth]

[He picks up a bow, in the color that they were looking for.] It's fine. You said you wanted this, didn't you?

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did, but...

[YOUNGER SELF WHY SO KIND.]

[miniworth]

You never know when you'll get the next chance, do you? [Come on, Bigworth, he's pressing the bowtie into your hand, grinning.

HE WANTS TO KNOW THAT HIS FUTURE IS HAPPY. Come on how could you say no to your own smiling face.]

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

...

[He...just takes it. And smiles back. Which is something he clearly doesn't do often being a sour-faced jerk and this should always be pointed out whenever he smiles.]

Thank you, I...appreciate it.

[miniworth]

You don't have to thank me.

You're me, aren't you? - I'm just indulging myself. [And off to pay~ ]

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[BRB examining bow tie. A part of him wants to try it on...it brings back so many memories.]

Heh. You have a point.

[miniworth]

[He trots off a few feet to pay for the bowtie, and, returning, looks around for a mirror. Stores always had mirrors....

He spots one, and tugs Bigworth over to it!]

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[He hesitates before following Tinyworth toward the mirror...he has not worn a bow tie in quite some time, and he's actually wondering what he'll look like with this one.]

[miniworth]

[Watching. Excitedly. He's also staring at that cravat because MAN. IT'S STILL WEIRD.]

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[YEAH WELL now the cravat is off, and he's putting on the bow tie. A very small smile is tugging at his lips as he does so.

Bigworth is starting to feel more and more like Gregory now.]

[miniworth]

[Tinyworth reaches up and takes the cravat, looking at it closely. Standing behind Bigworth and looking at the mirror, he tries to put it on the way Bigworth did earlier.

It doesn't work, so if Bigworth looks down at his tiny self, the kid is simply wearing the white fabric like a scarf.]

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[Aaaaand ta-da, Bigworth is now wearing a bow tie. He adjusts it a bit, and stares back at his reflection. He's reminded very much of his father indeed...and for a moment he wonders if he should wear bow ties more often. Even if he has gotten rather used to the cravat.

He expected Tinyworth to say something by now, so he turns in case the boy didn't notice this radical change in his future self.

Oh hey. The sight is...a little amusing.]

...That's not how you wear it.

[miniworth]

I couldn't remember how to put it on properly. [He's tugging the cravat off, folding it neatly, and grinning up at Bigworth.]

See, it was worth buying.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose so. [He reaches up to adjust it again - even if it didn't need any adjusting in the first place. Then he looks at Tinyworth folding the cravat.]

Shall I show you again?

[miniworth]

[He glances at the bundle of cloth, and nods, pulling off his own bowtie and carefully placing it in his pocket.] I'd like that.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

Very well. If you want it loosened or tightened, simply say so.

[He takes the cravat, and begins tying it around his younger self's neck slowly, with the same practiced movements as earlier.]

[miniworth]

[As Bigworth is tying the cravat, Tinyworth is fighting down a grin, feeling very cheerful and happy. it was almost like Bigworth was an older brother, not a future self.

This is a thought that he blurts out, right now, without thinking.]

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[He finishes - wait, did Tinyworth say something? Bigworth isn't quite sure if he heard what he thought he heard...]

Ah...I see... [There's surprise in his voice, yes, but also...somewhere in there, he takes this as a compliment. While hearing that he reminded Kay of her father made him feel old, this didn't have the same effect.]

[...remind me not to rush tags when I'm about to sleep and when I've got an exam tomorrow orz.]

[miniworth]

[And here is Tinyworth, looking kind of proud of the cravat. He wasn't used to it, but it wasn't uncomfortable either..]

Thank you.
