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. ]]

Also Byrne just because.

[=D WHICH REMINDS ME. *shoves fic prompts under bed* I...need to get back to them.

Have a very rare smile from Bigworth, Littleworth.]

...you would do well to learn from the mistakes I've made in the past. I had to rediscover what it truly meant to be a lawyer.

I do not know if Wright has told you this or if he even remembers, but I left court for a year to find these answers.

All those lacking-in-canon characters for srs. I WANT PESS.

[miniworth]

[-- fdshakljfhds i-is that artist who I think it is *A* ]

.....No.

He hasn't told me anything about what I am as a prosecutor. [And he'd be lying if he said he didn't think Phoenix was deliberately hiding it.]

YEAH C'MON show us Pess already.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[You know the artist of that icon? XD]

I see...

... [Hmmmm.]

Can you tell me more about Wright - the Wright you met here?

Pess, Missile, and Shoe need some canon! 8|

[miniworth]

[Not personally, but I think I might recognize it... *A* ]

.....

[It's then that Miles realizes how little he knows about the Phoenix he knows here. How were his trials? How did he usually spend his time? Where did he work?]

[....all he knew about Phoenix's life was that he'd solved DL-6.]

........I don't know.

I want this so bad. I think I saw Missile in the second AAI-2 trailer...

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[And thanks to you, I made a unfrilled for our aging meme, sob. XD I had to leaf through the icon comm for icons, but I didn't take any of yours...

BUT THEY'RE SO CUTE HAUUUUUU I STILL WANT TO TAKE THEM HOOOME]

You...don't know? [Wright. WHY. WHAT IS THIS.]

fsdalkfjh want. want. want. D:

[miniworth]

[ What-- no god feel free to I mean-- >__> ;; /this icon. ]

Nobody's told me much about Wright as a lawyer, and he himself doesn't talk about it, either.

He's only told me about Mr. von Karma, or things from before I moved away.

_{Nobody tells me anything about what I am like when I'm.. you.. either.}

I HOPE THAT WAS MISSILE. I think either de Killer or Adrian would take Shoe though.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[NO WAY your art is too cute to yank. XD /twirls a la Rena again

I'M SORRY TINYWORTH this is probably so sudden. Bigworth will just give you a concerned look...and wonder what else he should do.]

He doesn't? [Hmmm...he has his suspicions about where exactly in the time stream Wright was pulled from.]

...

[Sorry, he catches that last part.]

Not even Detective Gumshoe, or Kay? [Because those two tend to make a big deal of his logic skills.]

.....Maybe de Killer? Since Adrian was still in detention for a bit after that case...

[miniworth]

[...I do not get your logic, Mr. Bigworth. 8|a]

All that Kay or Miss Fey have told me about you is that you inhale tea. And Mr. Gumshoe....

He was the one who told me about Mr. von Karma and Miss Hawthorne, but.. I don't think anyone has every spoken about Wright, or you, unless it was in passing.

[A pause.]

Wright and the judge have once said that you're a great attorney, but that doesn't tell me anything.

True. Then de Killer can stroke Shoe villain-style while talking to his clients.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[Bigworth's mun has a poor grasp on logic, really. And, your older self is concerned, Tinyworth.]

... [Inhale tea...what. Well, it's true. But it could have been said differently, ahuhu.]

I see...

[He's silent for a bit. Should he tell...well, himself about what has happened in the future?]

And rename him Precious. I mean. What.

[miniworth]

[This is why Yun plays Tinyworth, because what is 10 year old logic.]

[Miles is silent, as well, but he speaks before The Prosecutor (as he referred to his older self sometimes) can make up his mind.]

.....Tell me.

You would know more than anybody, don't you? Is there-- is there something they're not telling me, about you... about us. Does.. does something happen, that they would feel the need to hide it from me...?

Who knows? Maybe he doesn't like Matt's naming style?

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[Sometimes I put off my Edgeworth tags because I need to think them through. A lot. Hi head, meet desk.]

...

[Here goes. Usually he doesn't open up and spill everything to just anyone, but this isn't just anyone. He was talking to himself.]

I used to prosecute only for my personal gains - for victory, and for revenge. I kept a flawless record for years, using every trick I knew to prove every defendant guilty.

Rumors followed me - especially rumors of forged evidence after one case, and I was dubbed the "Demon Prosecutor". But I assure you, I never forged evidence. It was one trick I never used.

[Questions? Comments? Want to take notes, Tinyworth? Orz.]

Because Pess obviously has more class than "Shoe". |D b also yeah -- Mia got accepted *A*

[miniworth]

[...You know, it's so hard playing Bigworth against Nick's Phoenix because she's smarter than me about stuff like this, and in the end I AM BLUFFING more than she is and it's kind of sad. /)__(\ ;; ]


[At his older self's words - his own words - Miles... falls silent. What he was told wasn't completely unexpected - if he was raised by Manfred von Karma, it was plausible, after all - but hearing it spoken like this was... well.

It hurt.

He knew it was going to happen, and he was... hoping, that maybe he'd have enough will not to succumb to hate, but he was apparently wrong, and disappointment in himself was inevitable. Lowering his gaze to his feet, he clenches his hands tightly, gritting his teeth.]

......because you thought you killed him.

[Is the only thing he says.]

Seriously, of all the names...WHY PESS? And OMG YAYYYY

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[/hugs because such is life playing Bigworth. Also known as, "The Prosecutor". XD]

...yes. [He doesn't know how to make you feel better because he's socially awkward and inexperienced that way, but his voice is soft and level.]

It was also to punish myself. And I...I began to hate defense attorneys. I defeated each one I faced in court.

That is, of course, until I met Wright again. He kept on fighting no matter what I threw at him, and I lost for the first time.

BUT PESS IS SUCH A CUTE NAME s-setting up her journal tomorrow I SWEAR o9 ;;

[miniworth]

[I thought Tinyworth might be one to make weird nicknames for those around him. xD He called Phantom Thief Kid "Mr. Flashy" because.. well white suited thief = flashy. ...Also remind me to one day get my whole headcanon for Tinyworth sorted out because jsyk HIS MOM IS PRETTY DAMN MEAN ;-; ]

....I bet you were pretty vexed, then, when he beat you.

After all, he was such a crybaby, and we weren't supposed to meet him ever again.

[The last thing he wants is to have his older self make him feel better about anything. Sorry, Bigworth, but you're the last man he ever wants to be. He regards the man with... a rather twisted smile, slowly getting disgusted by the future he would have lived, and... still able to understand why this could have happened. ]

Yeah, but do you think he could've used another name? XD AND OH YES OH YES I APPROVE

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[Tinyworth WHY SO ADORABLE. Although according to my headcanon, Mrs. Edgeworth didn't live very long after Miles was born...I'm so evil. T_T]

...Yes, I was.

It was as if everything started to change when I began facing Wright in court. And then, of course, he chose to represent me when I became the defendant in a case.

That was when I learned...to trust in a man I initially considered my "enemy" in the courtroom.

[Bigworth wouldn't blame him; it's not a pretty picture, the life he's been living ever since. But at least he got better. Would Tinyworth like to hear that part though?]

When I first heard "Pess" I thought he named her "Pest" and I LAUGHED. SO. HARD. && YEAAAAH. \o/

[miniworth]

[YAY FOR TEN YEARS OLD \o/ W-well, AA-Wiki says Miles was orphaned after Gregory's death, so I think yours is a more plausible headcanon. >___> I just didn't think Manfred will adopt Miles right after DL-6, so I needed someone who will do the whole "moving away in the winter" part of Miles' life. My Mrs. Edgeworth is just kind of.... hysterically depressed after Gregory's death and she just kind of pushes her son to the limit with that. /)__(\ ;; ]]

[Miles could assume easily that his older self's twisted doings may have been influenced by Manfred von Karma. After what he'd heard from Phoenix and Gumshoe, it was entirely reasonable, he thought. Besides. If he'd continued to believe that he killed Gregory, he would most definitely have ended up like this too. He was sure of it.

But even then.]

...........Were you able to change?

AHAHAHA PEST. I can't imagine Edgey naming ANYTHING "Pest".

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[I bet things would have been easier for Miles if his mother were alive and more cooperative, no? And, Manfred was on "vacay" anyway. XD Maybe he was shut off in an obscure orphanage so the paparazzi didn't bother him with questions while Manfred was on his "VACAY"?]

...Yes. When I returned to the courts, I began working for the truth - working with the defense instead of hindering their efforts. I no longer cared about perfect records or victories; what mattered was the truth.

[Don't worry, your older self is a lot less twisted now (and he's least twisted in AAI for sure). How would you feel if you met Bratworth instead?]

No, he wouldn't have. xD He's too nice for that... >___>

[miniworth]

[Maybe. xD I thought Freddy might've taken Miles in during his vacay, so he'll have an easier time getting Miles to slip into the von Karma life style, without thinking about work all the time. I bet he didn't wear a sling so Miles wouldn't know he was hurt, either... and if he was with the kid the whole time anyway, he'd have all day every day to implant that "criminals are your enemy" thing. :|a ]

.........So you just reverted back to the way we both were before our father died, basically.

[The initial shock has passed. THIS IS ALL HE HAS TO SAY.]

I think he wouldn't do it even if he was at the Bratworth stage. XD

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that's true...poor Freddy, no slings for you, lest you give yourself away. D= This kind of situation makes me want to write a psychological essay, seriously. I love my major far too much.]

I suppose one might say that. I now know what it means to be a "prosecutor" and what my role is in the search of truth.

[Except for the part where he remains a frilly prosecutor, yes. At least Bigworth had a happy ending, Tinyworth!]

I doubt it. xD He's not a cruel person at all. ;u;

[miniworth]

[Psychology sounds like a lot of fun. *A* /why are you all in college man I feel like a kid OTL ]

....I'm glad to hear that. [I'm glad to know that I don't turn into someone like von Karma had..... He'd been so scared of that.]

Bratworth was just...a stuck-up jerk. But he ain't cruel.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[AHHHH well stop making me feel old. XD /is in senior year

Psychology IS fun. XD I think Edgeworth was the reason why I took my essay on PTSD really seriously. I thought of him the entire time while I was having my exam. ^^;;;]

Which is why I no longer follow the von Karma creed. I have Wright to thank for that.

[MAN I swear I can't wait for Littleworth to find out that even as a prosecutor, he still gets defense attorney moments!]

Nope. :T I think Phoenix said some meaner things xD

[miniworth]

[I-it's okay man! I think being inspired by Edgeworth to take psychology is really cool, though! *A* He really does seem like an interesting man... 8|a ]

...But I don't understand. Why would he have done so much? After all... we disappeared without a word, with no intention to see him again. Why would he do so much for you - for us- after fifteen years?

[Everything about bigworth = brain break. >____> ]]

Phoenix was very hostile at the beginning of 2-4 XD GO DIE IN A FIRE, EDGEWORTH.

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[Actually, I was into Psychology before AA, and I already had plans to take law before then too, but...let's just say he kinda kicked up my interest in PTSD and phobias, and...I commissioned a friend to make me a prosecutor's badge that I wore during the law aptitude exam. XD

And this is why I fangirled him at first sight, sob.]

Because he believed in us...after all, he wanted to follow us after we disappeared, and was ready to face us in court if he had to.

We also know him to pursue his goals obstinately, correct?

[The brain break has only just begun, I'm sorry, Littleworth.]

I NEVER WANTED TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I THOUGHT YOU DIED. /G-god that Phoenix was just MEAAN 8|

[miniworth]

[...That's so cool though! *A* Honestly, I think that being interested in something and then having something roll by and jumpstart you is just really awesome. ;-; \o/ ]

That... is what I don't understand. Why did he believe, for so long?

Way to greet your BFF after he's had the realization of his life...

[mr-fancy-car.livejournal.com]

[What are YOUR plans for college though? ^^; And don't worry, that badge has been around before the entrance exam; I'm so obsessed with this guy that I also have plans to cosplay him. /hopeless fangirl oh so hopeless]

...

[BRB thinking. Actually, even he doesn't know exactly why. And he knew Phoenix for...seventeen years! Even if much of that was lost thanks to DL-6. And Manfred.]

To be honest...I do not completely understand his single-minded pursuit either. That has been Wright's nature...

[Whether big or small, it seems, Edgeworth can never fully grasp how single-minded Phoenix was.]
