miniworth[Backdated to Friday, January 28th, early afternoon.]
[There were lots of things about Professor Hershel Layton that Miles Edgeworth admired. The British professor was kind and intelligent, and gentle, and he'd been one of the first people Miles met upon arriving in Johto. Most of all, Hershel Layton reminded Miles of his father. Gregory Edgeworth was an irreplaceable existence to the child, but the ten year old boy, who had lost his father so suddenly, couldn't help but see the resemblance.
The thing that Miles found most intriguing was the two men's fascination with fancy hats.]
Professor?
[Good afternoon, Johto, this video is brought to you by Plusle Productions™ The weather appears to be slightly better than the preceding days, as there is no storm despite the gray clouds, and while it does look terribly cold outside the window at the side of the screen, the inside of the Goldenrod Department Store in which we find Miles and the recently-awakened, just-arrived-in-Goldenrod professor looks very, very warm. ]
Yes, what is it Miles?
[The two are seated at one of the cafés in the food court, sipping what looks like tea (knowing the professor, it certainly couldn't have been instant tea, either). The camera, held by Remus, is settled on a chair adjacent to Miles, and it doesn't seem like either Layton or Miles have noticed that they were being recorded. Layton sips that tea of his, smiling fatherly.
Miles lowers his cup, rocking back and forth in his seat, probably because he's swinging his legs or something. He also seems to have a bruise on his face, but that's another story (it's just a souvenir from Nemesis the Cubone). He peers up at Layton curiously.]
Why do you always wear that hat, Professor?
[Layton's smile changes a bit - sadder? more melancholy? nostalgic? - but it returns to the way it was before Miles' question, and a hand goes to touch the brim of the top hat.]
It was a gift from a dear person, my boy.
My father always wore a hat, as well. [Suddenly, there's a small smile alighting on Miles' face. It was a strange sight, probably, as he rarely smiled this way: childish, that simple pride children held for their parents. ] Whenever he went to speak to his client, or to court, or wherever he went, really - he had a hat.
[Layton chuckles, and then -- WHOA, LO AND BEHOLD -- the world ends.
I mean.
He takes off his hat.
And, reaching over, he places it on Miles' head. It's too big, though, and falls down over Miles' eyes.]
A true gentleman always wears a hat when he goes outside. Your father must have been such a man.
[Pushing the hat higher on his head, Miles leans back in his seat, grinning.] He was. [He glances up at Layton's hat.] I wonder if they have one like it, here..
[And now the Professor is back to gentlemanlily drinking that tea. (This is where Yun is tempted to put the image of Layton with sunglasses in the minds of anyone reading this because. It's in her head fr some reason.) He quirks a somewhat-grin at Miles.] Would you like to go see, after tea?
[The grin on the boy's face couldn't get any bigger. He's nodding very, very enthusiastically.] Yes, sir!
[And THOUGH THE DAY HOPEFULLY CONTINUED THIS HAPPILY, this is when Remus the Plusle turns off the Gear, stopping his recording as he gets thirsty and decides, instead of recording the whole happy day, to clamber up to Miles' shoulder and beg his trainer to share some of that tea. :|b
And Miles returned to his hotel room that day wearing a hat that looked very, very much like his father's. Awwyeah, Professor. You so freaking rock.
Action for: Goldenrod Department Store or the Goldenrod Hotel when Miles gets back, or just plain old video/audio/text by network works, too.]

Date: 2011-02-01 09:59 am (UTC)But if there was a situation where either one megalomaniac would die or countless people would end up suffering...saving that person would be insane.
[Otacon shook his head, sighing.]
I want to believe he won't become that person I met five years ago. But every so often I look at him and...it kind of scares me to realize how close he is.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:05 am (UTC)Time stands still for us, when we leave our homes. I recently went back to mine, but despite being in Johto for three months, I woke up exactly where I was before I left, and I remembered the things I learned here.
.....Maybe it's a second chance, Mr. Hal.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:08 am (UTC)Because if that's the case...he wouldn't take a second chance at changing it.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:10 am (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:16 am (UTC)He deserves better than that, but he's already so sure one of them is supposed to die--and this is ten years before he's supposed to meet his brother that night.
...I-I'm sorry. That probably made no sense at all, not to mention you don't need to worry about it.
[Keywords have never been more relevant.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:25 am (UTC)I can't say I understand completely; our worlds are very different, but I do know that it's important to have people around us. People who care.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:27 am (UTC)[He adjusted his glasses again, glancing away with an embarrassed smile.]
Even if he doesn't think he's worth anything...I always will.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:29 am (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:33 am (UTC)I doubt my word means all that much to him, but at least I try.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:36 am (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:38 am (UTC)U-uh--but I'm not...I mean, I...
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:45 am (UTC)Nobody can believe a person telling them they are important if said person does not believe that they themselves are worth something. It's simply hypocritical and unfair of you to expect that from your friend, Mr. Hal.
....I've only just met you, but I believe you have more worth than you give yourself credit for.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:48 am (UTC)[LOOK HOW LOGICAL THAT LITTLE FACE IS]
I'm n-nothing special, really. Just an average scientist.
[...that builds giant robots. Otacon, you wouldn't last five minutes in AA-verse.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:53 am (UTC)Besides, how could someone whose choice, as your words seemed to have implied, saved the lives of countless people, be worthless?
[DON'T LOSE AGAINST A SHOTA, OTACON D8 ]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 10:55 am (UTC)[Shota powers vs. MGS's resident god of woobiedom. ROUND ONE. FIGHT.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:00 am (UTC)[So mun knows like nothing about MGS but AWWYEAH ROUND ONE.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:04 am (UTC)[all one needs to know: nothing makes sense, Liquid is made of overacting, and if Otacon likes a girl they will not live to the end credits. :|b]O-of course I did, but...the organization we started to fix everything is pretty much shot to hell at this point. Everything that can go wrong basically has at some point or another, and we've lost a lot more than we probably gained.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:10 am (UTC)Hot damn oh my god. :|a POOR OTACON. D:]The important part, sir, si that you don't give up. You haven't - have you?
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:13 am (UTC)[In all three games he's been in, a chick has died and Otacon has turned into a ball of emo. The poor bastard.]...no, not yet. I didn't plan on it--even if things get worse, I'm not about to quit and abandon Snake. I couldn't if I tried.
Besides, back home he's...pretty much all I have left now.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:16 am (UTC)I hope you find happiness, Otacon. 8(]Then you shouldn't call yourself worthless. You aren't worthless until you give up - because then you'd betray both your friend, as well as the things that you believe to be right.
At least, that's what I keep telling myself, to make sure I never give up.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:20 am (UTC)[don't feel too bad, he went from moeblob to absurdly hot (http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=metalresolution) through said games.]...y'know, you might have a point. At least I r-really hope you're right.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:24 am (UTC)....now that it what I call mature hotness.]I can't be sure of how right it is, but it's something I believe in. [What I've learned to believe since coming here.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:27 am (UTC)[best part of owning a PS3, hands down. :|b]I guess even if I lose what little I have left, at least I'll have been fighting for something I believe in. That's...that's enough to make me happy, I think.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:32 am (UTC)PS games sound so cool. :|a /debates getting one in the future][And here we have Miles giving a nod, and a grin, even if he does grimace. He's determined to make you believe that, to him at least, what you just said is most important.]
That's enough to make you a great person, Mr. Hal
[A-and with that I should actually go to sleep lmao. I'll tag you back tomorrow, and this thread has also been a lot of fun for me~ ♥ ]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:35 am (UTC)[yessss, do itttt. :D]I-I guess...maybe. I'm really not too sure about that, but I guess I'm not going to change your mind.
[fff, good idea. <33 It's a blast to actually tag you instead of being a creepy lurker. :|b;;]
