miniworth | 016 [video]

[The feed turns on this fine Tuesday afternoon from a Gear that hasn't posted in quite a while. The camera adjusts, focuses, and then shows a disgruntled looking child sitting - legs crossed, leaning back in the chair, with a serious line face - at a table in what looks like the café at the Goldenrod Hotel. A newspaper held in one hand, the other holding....

.....a cup of tea. That he drinks out of.

Good afternoon, residents of Johto, Miles Edgeworth has woken up ~~and he snuck out of the Pokémon Center last night, too, but that's another story~~.]

Plus!

[The sudden voice is accompanied by the invasion of Remus the Plusle, who hops onto his trainer's lap and takes the cup of tea from him, sitting down and cheerily gulping down the warm drink. His moody expression brightening slightly into that of amusement, Miles gives a soft chuckle and lowers the paper, turning his full attention to the Gear that Remus must have turned on earlier.

First, he sighs. And then he glares at the camera.]

Franziska von Karma.

[Oh boy, is he pissed.]

Upon my waking up just last night, I was informed of your ill-mannered conduct upon your arrival in Johto. You acted rudely and immaturely, and - surely - as one who aspires to succeed that perfect Manfred von Karma, being able to civilly interact with those you meet would be an important skill?

First of all, I have done nothing to be called a coward by you.

Secondly, yelling my name into the network was an over-the-top, yet sufficient way of getting in contact with me. However, I was indeed asleep for the last few days, and refusing to believe the tale when told so was foolish of you. Proceeding then to snap at these people and antagonizing them is even worse.

[A pause, as he takes a breath and rubs his temple.]

As your older brother, and the reason why you ended up acting so disrespectfully to those who simply wanted to help you, I suggest that you rethink your actions carefully and apologize to them soon. Your father stressed the importance of perfection in every aspect of life - and if you are still aspring to fulfill that perfection, it would do you good to start by acting, at least, like you know how to speak without angering every face you see.

[Another pause, and then he looks away from the camera looking a bit squicked out.]

... I don't think I'll ever perfect imitating Mr. von Karma's way of talking.

[He reaches over to drink the tea, but the cup must have been emptied by Remus. He stops, sighs, and sends the camera another look.]

I'll be waiting for your call, Fran. That is all.

... I hope you're doing all right.

Miles, right? I'm actually here with Fransiska. She got me to go and escort her in order to see you.

She seemed quite worried about you. In her own unique way, of course.

I-- [Worried? He somehow doubted that.]

Thank you, er...

I suppose I must ask your name, first.

[Hey man, if the first thing a girl does when she comes here is call to see if you're here, she cares about you.]

I'm Sissel. Nice to meet you, Miles.

[Not when, as Miles as been told, she's threatening him with a riding crop.]

It's a pleasure, Mr. Sissel.

How has Fran been?

[Riding crop, schmiding crop. She just wants to hit you out of love~]

[A shrug.] Tempermental and rather impatient. But I guess that's pretty normal for her, right?

[And that, Sissel, gets Miles to laugh a little. Oh, lookit him.]

You could say that. Although the Franziska here is different from the one I know back home.

[Don't worry, Sissel has more where that came from.]

Hmm? Really? How so?

For starters, my sister back in Germany is three years old.

...Three years old?!

[This smells suspiciously like time shenanigans!]

Yes. This kind of thing happens often, actually.

Huh. When that guy talked about time anomalies, he wasn't kidding...

You'll see more.

I have old classmates here who are from fifteen years into my future -- or fourteen now, I suppose.

...

So, let me get this straight. People can come here from any place and time?

And any species. Such as aliens.

Well, if a ghost like me showed up here ,then I wouldn't be surprised if those alien things showed up here too.

[Doesn't know what aliens are. ;_;]

[...Poor guy ;A; ]

You're a ghost?

[That's what you get what you have ghost amnesia.]

Well, I was one. Now I'm just as alive as the rest of you.

[Extreme amnesia.]

[And here's Miles giving you a very, very curious look.]

[Very, very extreme amnesia.]

Yeah, before I came here, I died. I was like a little ball of flame, actually. And now I have a body again like I had never died at all.

It's rather confusing, but I guess I'm thankful. Being alive is quite the experience.
