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.

[....Hm.]

[He leans back in his chair, rubbing the back of his neck thoughtfully.]

It could have gone better, but it also could have gone worse, I suppose.

[... he shakes his head]

You and I do things a lot differently.

I didn't have much say.

[A sigh, and he leans back a little more.]

Why not?

[He gestures to his throat.]

I'm not sure. Every time I tried to speak even a word about what I knew, around someone, it felt like i was getting strangled by something.

[a very curious expression crosses his features]

Some invisible force was stopping you from changing everything?

[Miles is also confused by this.]

These are things I'm not supposed to know about, after all.

[... froooowning]

What about writing? Did it stop you from writing down what you knew, too?

Sometimes I couldn't even move because I tried. [Looking extreeeemely frustrated by it, too.]

... [well this puts a new spin on things]

Sounds like we have a new mystery to solve.

[fdskjfh grumble grumble.]

I suppose so.

Especially if they're affecting us from worlds away.

They already were affecting us, at the point when they dragged us here.

Affecting us in ways that don't have anything to do with being brought here.

I was still here, physically.

It might change if I go home completely.

[scratches the back of his head thoughtfully] That's not a bad point. I wonder how they're able to send people home and keep their bodies here at the same time?

It's--

Really disorienting, and I hope it doesn't happen again.

[an amused snort] I know there were some people here who were worried about you.

Ah..

[Averting his eyes.]

I-I guess.. I was worried when my friend was asleep, as well.

[aaaah there is the Miles he knows]

Heh. I bet they're just glad you're okay.

I'm alive, if that's what you mean.

No one doubted that.

[... /sob just got attacked by franziska hfhfdsk]

I also act a lot more like him than I want to.

-- von Karma?

Yes.

[Hesitates.]

.....I ended up upsetting my friend, because of it.
