[The screen flickers on to show a sunny blue sky framed by the branches of trees. On occasion a bird or two or a flock of them fly past, but there is no sign of the boy who owns the Pokégear. In the corner of the screen, something orange flits in and out of view before there is the sound of panting and bounding feet, followed by--]
Ugh. [--the sound of someone groaning, as if something heavy had been dropped on his stomach. The screen turns blurry, as if the Pokégear was being shaken around. The sound of struggling and excited barks could be heard.] Stop, you silly dog, stop, you can't use this-- this contraption as a toy! .....No, you can't chew on my bowtie either but-- ugh, fine you can lick my face. [There is a soft sigh as the screen stops moving. It moves again as the happy-looking face of a young Growlithe comes into view, then, finally the camera swerves again to show the slightly disgruntled, slobber-covered face of a young boy lying on the grass. So that's where he was!]
.....My name is Miles Edgeworth. [The boy seems absolutely squicked out - apparently he's never talked to electronics before. The Growlithe, on the other hand, looks nothing less than deliriously happy as it sits by the boy's head and smiles up at the camera.] I woke up... this morning and found myself in a house that wasn't mine, with a woman that wasn't my mother -- and then I got kicked out. I'm not sure how this happened, or what will happen from now on, but... [Miles averts his eyes momentarily, then turns his head as if staring at the sky and the trees, glancing at the Growlithe before turning back to the camera.] I think the best choice I could make now is to keep moving along down the road. Perhaps I'll meet someone who can give me some hints on.. what's going on. -- ugh. Stop that! [There is a beep, as if Miles had pressed a button, and the screen goes blank, but not before it catches the Growlithe finding a small butterfly on Miles' shirt and pouncing at it.]

Date: 2010-10-06 12:27 am (UTC)[He just doesn't understand why everyone calls him short, it's not like he's less than five feet tall -- well, he was one of the shorter ones in his class, but.
.........Okay, he's short, but it's not like he'll admit that. Miles continues to fume.]

Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 12:43 am (UTC)[It's slightly frightening to Miles that so many people know him and yet there doesn't seem to be anyone that Miles himself recognizes. What a strange, strange world.]
Just who is this Nick person--
[video]
Date: 2010-10-06 12:53 am (UTC)[she paaaauses]
I'm Maya Fey.
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 01:00 am (UTC)I've--
[He pauses, and seems to hesitate about saying the rest of this.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 01:02 am (UTC)But I don't think I've seen you before, unless you were at the courthouse that day...?
[Wrong trial there, Miles, buddy.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 01:12 am (UTC)... I guess I wasn't in the court house on the day you're talking about. But I've been there before, and you were there too. [noooot mentioning he was the one who tried to get her throw in jail]
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 01:24 am (UTC)Perhaps, since everyone I've met so far seems to now an older me, you are one of them?
[He's still not sure how he's supposed to react to the fact that the Miles Edgeworth everyone knows is 25 years old.
But the world's been pretty crazy so far. Maybe he should match its pace and go along with this future!Edgeworth theory for now.]

Date: 2010-10-06 01:36 am (UTC)[He pauses to think. Hmmm.]
That "Nick" you mentioned earlier. Who was it?
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 01:38 am (UTC)Have you met Phoenix Wright yet?
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 01:53 am (UTC)He used to be a classmate of mine, yes..
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 02:13 am (UTC)... so I guess you're after that incident, huh?
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 02:20 am (UTC)Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 02:21 am (UTC)[Oh.]
So you know, huh? About that.
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 02:22 am (UTC)Uh--! The incident where you moved away! Nick told me about it.
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 02:27 am (UTC)...Moved away?
[Wait, so she didn't mean that incident? Or is she just--]
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 03:51 am (UTC)It's why you're not his classmate anymore, right?
Re: [video]
Date: 2010-10-06 03:54 am (UTC)I did move away. I'm sure he knows about it by now, it was rushed, so I didn't really get to tell him.
[As for when this "now" refers to, Miles is not so sure.]

Date: 2010-10-07 03:00 am (UTC)[Miles has caught on, to an extent, that these people he's met so far must know, to some extent, about his father. That would explain the attitude of most of them.
But that's not going to mean that he'll talk about it. No. So he is determined to act the fool and pretend he does not realize their strange behavior.]
