 [Forward-Dated to THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 25TH because mun will be posting on the 28th and we won't need a three-day spam]


[It's FORWARD DATED Chriiiiiiiiistmas time -- and guess whose Pokémon gdmit Pip has set up a certain ten-year-old's alarm to go off singing about unicorns and rainbows at seven o'clock in the morning, at top volume, the video feed turning on when the panicked boy's hand smacks the Gear in an attempt to turn it off?

Miles Edgeworth. Ken, I hope you enjoy getting that music getting stuck in your head again.

Said music, which Miles fails to turn off the first time, is still blaring across the room until a groggy face appears on screen and, with the most grumpiest grumble ever, Miles slams it off.]

....I am never going to get that out of my head anymore.

[Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Hoping against hope that the racket didn't wake up his roommate, Miles rubs the sleep of his eyes and picks up his gear, still unaware of it recording, and looks around his bed, which was the in its usual state of absolute chaos, with nearly a dozen different Pokémon snoozing on it. The couch may have been small for Phoenix, but the lawyer definitely had more space there than Miles did, as he only had Lady the Furret ever sleeping on him.

And so far, Pip was the only one awake. Miles can be seen giving everyone else a look of  "what the fuck is wrong with you." ]

How do any of you sleep through that that was terrible, I mean ---

......What are you eating, Pip is that a banana?

[Indeed it was. Happy holidays, Eleventh Doc.]

......I don't even-- 

[It's at this moment that there's a small, muffled sound coming from where the door would be. Sounding suspiciously like an irritated person struggling under a whole bunch of luggage, it takes a while for the muffled noises to turn into a sharp series of raps on the hotel room door. As Phoenix was still (somehow) snoring away on his couch along with the rest of the Pokémon, Miles, tripping over blubber and spiders, scrambles out of the bed with his Gear and shuffles over to open the door -- to come face-to-face with a BOX MONSTER.

Except not really.]

D-delivery for Mr. Wright and Mr. Edgeworth! [ is what the bellboy stutters out before he tilts dangerously forward, and Edgeworth only barely manages to jump out of the way before the man almost drops the luggage onto the floor.. almost. The bellboy is still careful enough to make sure nothing hit the floor with too much force. He does look extremely irritated, though, because -- poor guy -- it was only seven o'clock on Christmas morning and he's experienced what this day is like for as long as he's been working here. ] Happy holidays.

.....Right. Thank you.

[With a tip of his hat and a deep grimace, the bellboy closes the door and disappears... and Miles eyes the pile of stuff with the greatest amount of "WHAT TO DO" ]

....I better get this out of the way, first.

[And he sets the Gear down to start moving the boxes. Noticing then that the feed was on, he blinks, gives a short wave, and turns it off]

[TIME SKIP EVEN MORE FORWARD DATING another two hours.]

[After all the boxes were sorted out and put in a corner, Miles turns the feed back on, this time not in his pajamas, but happily clad in a.. different outfit from his usual red suit thing. A new brown sweater from Merlin (though rather large on the tiny kid) is resting snugly on his shoulders as Miles shrugs on his father's old jacket, and he's grinning -- grinning.]

Merlin! I-- I got your sweater! [ :DDD ] Um, thanks so much, Merlin. 

[He's also already gotten some hot chocolate made, and Kay's mug is sitting on the bedside table proudly -- with the notebook from the Professor, the fountain pens, Vera's storybook, and Kaito's... joke book beside it. He's actually read that joke book already, and he's giving the camera a bit of a grimace as he points to it.]

Mr. Kuroba... I don't understand that book... [ :c ;;; ]

A-and um-- thanks you for all this food. [Because seriously why does he have like two huge cakes he doesn't even-- ] I-I don't know if I'll be able to eat it all but---

Growli---ARCANINE---

[ .......what.]

Pess what are you-- 

..........Oh god what did you do.

[Johto, say hello to SIX-FOOT-TALL DOG-LION-TIGER-THING SUDDENLY NUZZLING HER TRAINER. Yup. Phoenix had gotten Miles' Pokémon a Fire Stone... and she accidentally came across it. Suddenly her face is three times as big as Miles'. ]

Now you really need to get out of the habit of tackling me to the ground...

.....Er.

Happy holidays, everyone! [ /)__(\ ;;; ]

[And the feed cuts off as Miles starts clearing up all his wrapping paper.]

[OOC; Miles can be reached all day today via video, text, and audio -- as for action: you can either visit his room, or if you call him out of the hotel he'll come bouncing out into the city in his new attire. :)  btw, Ken is not obligatory.]

Comments

[miniworth]

....Yeah, I think so, too. [He nods, leaning back against Pess again, looking thoughtful.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

So I can't hate her.

[miniworth]

.. I think she'll be happy to hear that, Ken.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

... I think she would, too.

[miniworth]

--- Are you sure you shouldn't be spending Christmas with her, then?

[HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE, KEN, BUT HE THINKS MITSURU IS IMPORTANT TOO.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.] She'd probably rather be spending it with her traveling party, or talking with SEES. [... and the thought hurts him a bit ;;]

[miniworth]

[Ken, you're saying exactly what Miles was saying to Kaito about you. So Miles will say what Kaito said to him.]

You never know until you ask!

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Ah-- [Excuse him a second.]

... But I'm hanging out with you right now. Maybe Mitsuru-san and I can do something later, or you could come, too... [But the he shakes his head] Unless there's something else you wanted to do! I... didn't exactly ask if I could come...

[miniworth]

..T-that's not what I meant. [ /)__= ;; ]

I like hanging out with you too, and I'm glad you came here! But I'm not worth spending all day with, so just tell me when you want to.. um, do something else.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

You're my best friend! ... I think you're worth spending the whole day with. Besides Mitsuru-san who else would I spend it with? I don't have all that many friends, you know.

[miniworth]

W-well--

[Awww Ken, you calling Miles his best friend is the greatest part of Christmas ever. He flushes at that and then-- fidgets, before turning to Ken, throwing his new scarf around his neck.]

Then-- um.... do you want to go to the festival, today? I was going to take Pip with me, and--..

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[He blinks. He hadn't really been intending to go BECAUSE HE IS A LONER EMO KID... but after a second he nods.]

Sure! I've never been to a festival here, before. Mitsuru-san tried to get me to go to the last one, though...

[miniworth]

The fall festival? [Miles hadn't gone to that one, either, as he and Apollo were stalking trying to make sure Phoenix didn't get killed by Dahlia.]

This is my first time going to a festival here, as well..

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [He nods] I got here right at the end of it.

[miniworth]

Then... we should go to this one! Merlin helped plan this festival, so I think he'll be happy if you went.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

Really? He never told me that...

[miniworth]

I don't think he was the one who told me, either, but you hear a lot of thing when you're in the lobby of the only Pokémon Center in Goldenrod..

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

It must get busy...

[miniworth]

It does, but I think it's worth it. It's a lot of fun working with all different kinds of Pokémon.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

It must be! I work at a store [Which he tried to hide from everyone ever XD] so I don't see all that many.

[miniworth]

A store? [He didn't know Ken was working-- well, he knew Ken was looking for work, but....] Where do you work at? [M-Maybe he'll drop by one day.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

One of the places in the Department Store, actually. I was trying to keep it a secret.

[miniworth]

...It's a wonder how you kept it a secret when you're working in the Department Store. It's the only place where they sell supplies.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty good at sneaking around. I have to be. [he prides himself in this.]

[miniworth]

...........

[Just going to... hug that new scarf of his to his chest and blink at Ken, because while he was slowly getting used to the bizarre lifestyle his best friend led back home....]

Why were you trying to hide it, though?

[.......]

Y-you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but--
