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.

[Things are already looking up now that he's back in Johto and away from insane German foster families. :|b ]

[And Miles goes off to seat himself down at aforementioned table in the corner.]

_{[A few minutes later, Heather comes back with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate, each with a little furl of whipped cream on the top.]}

Here you go.

Bet you didn't get anything this good with that Karma guy!

Von Karma, Heather. [But he laughs a little at that anyway.]

My tutor gave me chocolate often, but - no, not hot chocolate.

Psh, Karma, von Karma, same difference.

_{[She slides into a seat, herself, and starts to sip the whipped cream off the top of hers.]}

Anyway, you can't beat hot chocolate.

I'm telling you just in case you run into my sister. I don't think she'd appreciate you saying her name wrong.

[He's drinking that hot chocolate like the deprived child that he is and he might burn his tongue but fhsdkjfh it tastes so good.]

Oh, right, right.

_{[Little did either of them know, Heather had spoken to Franziska already-- quite some time ago. She'd been more than a little pretentious, but weirdly enough? They kinda got along! ... Of course, that might be entirely different this time around...]}

... Whoa, slow down! You don't wanna scald the top of your mouth off!

[Aaaaand he's putting that mug down and HAND TO MOUTH because ow ow ow it was really hot.]

I-I'm okay..

_{[She can't help but laugh, man.]}

I promise, nobody's gonna drink it before you if you let it cool down a bit!

I-I know. [Ow ow ow ow ow.]

But it tastes really good..

_{[She grins broadly at him. It's good to see him enjoying himself. Even if he did totally just scald the hell out of his mouth.]}

It'll taste even better when you can actually sense tastes besides 'oh god it burns'.

I'll be fine! [ Determined facing right at you, Heather. Riiiight at you.]

[Before he goes back to drinking hot chocolate. Slowly this time.]

_{[She just smirks and goes back to sipping her own. OH MILES.]}

[He's sulking at that smirk of yours. ]

Watch it.

If you keep that expression for too long, it'll stick and then you'll have to spend the rest of your life looking pouty and hilarious.

_{[Heather you need to stop channeling your father, this 'troll role model' vibe is really weird coming from you.]}

I'm not going to smile like a buffoon for the rest of my life, either. [I'll look almost as unreliable as Larry does most of the time!]

Well, I never said you should smile like a buffoon, now did I?

...I come from the world of extremities.

... Well, I think it's safe to say there are still plenty of extremes that aren't 'kerSULK' and 'smile like a buffoon'.

"Murderous", "perfectionist", or "butt of all jokes" are the only others that I know, Heather. [In order: Dahlia, the von Karmas, and Phoenix.]

_{[Cue eye-roll.]}

You DEFINITELY need some better role models.

_{[... LIKE HEATHER. That way he could learn to be rude to everybody and have authority issues!]}

Merlin is a good role model when he isn't crashing into merchandise.

[....Mundane thinks Miles will have rudeness and authority issues down with just von Karma, anyway.]

... Oh yeah. Pfff. _{[She'd helped him put away all those ~*~panties~*~ after he'd knocked them down.}

He looked really embarrassed.

Edited 2011-01-28 07:02 (UTC)

I know, I was there. Poor guy.

_{[... She had so laughed at him.]}

....You probably only teased him more.
