Edgeworth has found Yotsuba..

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai, Edgeworth, and you!
Setting: Floor 24. Backdated to the 28th.
Format: We're starting in prose, but we'll match you!
Summary: After meeting Yotsuba, Edgeworth, annoyed that no one was looking after Yotsuba for quite a long time starts looking for her friends and anyone he knows that can take care of her. However, Yotsuba tends to run off when things catch her eye, which leads the pair to a monster.
Warnings: Child death if you're not quick enough and Edgeworth's scoldings if you happen to be someone that's met Yotsuba before.

Most people would not really see Edgeworth as the type to hang around with small children. Neither would Edgeworth, really.

Nevertheless, one thing that the prosecutor was not going to turn a blind eye to was a child wandering around the tower without adult supervision when there were monsters about. Therefore, when he discovered that five year-old Yotsuba appeared to have nobody looking after her, he decided to take the matter into his own hands – and that meant taking her around Floors 1-4, finding some of the friends she has already made in the tower – and giving them a good talking-to (because this child was on her own and exposed to danger and how irresponsible can people be?).

Holding the child by the hand so that he could not lose sight of her, he went through the floors, hoping to find someone that she would recognise. Perhaps, he would even run into Maya or the two Lancers or anyone else he has met who knew of the little girl’s friends.

Yotsuba, meanwhile, would happily go along with Edgeworth, not really understanding why the man was so annoyed, but, since this was pretty fun, she would wander around with him, sing sometimes, and mess up the prosecutors name by calling him Edgeworm (which the prosecutor did not like but let slide as Yotsuba was a child and probably did not mispronounce his name intentionally). However, she would get his name correct the second time she spoke it.

Everything was going well....until the two of them were busy making their way from the third to the fourth floor and spotted one of those little prize pod monsters floating on the stairway.

While the prize pod was not at all dangerous, Edgeworth did not know that since it was the first time he had seen one. In normal circumstances, he would avoid it. However, Yotsuba, who loved new things as long as they didn’t scare her, quickly let go of Edgeworth’s hand and began to chase after the monsters, hoping to get a proper look at them.

Seeing (in horror) the small child scuttle upstairs, Edgeworth tried to follow her immediately. “W-wait, Yotsuba! What are you doing?! Get back here!”

“I want to get a better look at that thing! Yotsuba will be back in a moment-” Yotsuba yelled to Edgeworth as she ran, but when she got on the twenty-fourth floor, the prize pod monster was quickly forgotten.

She found herself at the other side of the room, with a large, shadowy monster staring her down. And it was hungry.

Edgeworth, meanwhile, had tried his best to keep up with her. He was not stupid - he took everyone else’s warnings about the other floors very seriously and therefore had yet to visit most of them himself (although he was considering going to them with a few other people so he could keep up with what was going on in this accursed tower). Unfortunately, a tiny little girl was now putting herself in danger...

“Oh my god...!”

The prosecutor was right next to the stairs when he finally found the girl. Horrified, his eyes widened when saw that monster staring over Yotsuba. If Yotsuba did not run away from it or if he did not do something, there was going to be one very dead little girl in that room.

Knowing that he could not just stand there, Edgeworth called out to the child in a commanding voice. “Yotsuba! Come over here right now!”

Care to help them out, anyone?

[[ooc: Your post will have both Yotsuba and Edgeworth-frilliance-responding to it, so look forward to that!]]

Kyoko quirked an eyebrow at Edgeworth's response as she snicked quietly, but ultimately chose to focus on the girl's question. Her powers weren't something she openly advertized, but so long as she was here there was no particular reason to hide them. So, she raised her index finger and grinned as she launched into her explanation.

"Magic. I'm a magical girl, y'know...things like summoning a weapon or a barrier are child's play for a person like me, y'know."

(ooc: I'm sorry this is so late! I've been sick, so that threw me off track. I'll understand if you don't feel up to continuing.)

A magical girl? Was this girl a wizard? Or was she some superhero? Like the Steel Samurai? Edgeworth wanted to ask more but decided that doing so would probably not be wise. Kyoko's powers did not seem to be relevant to the mysteries of the tower besides the fact that the administrators were able to bring people with various superpowers, anyway.

The prosecutor decided to focus on Yotsuba's question instead, to which he replied, "And use that as an excuse to run into more danger? What a frightening thought."

"It's like being a solider, just you're fighting against monsters instead of humans. Becoming a magical girl, you know, means placing your life on the line every minute of every day--and the only way out is to die." Her voice grew unusually serious as she gave her explanation. It was unlikely that a girl this young could completely understand what she was saying, but that was all the more reason why she couldn't sugarcoat it. She couldn't accept somebody who had no particular problems in their life taking up this job, believing it to be glamorous.

Even so, a smile crossed her face as her moved to pat Yotsuba's head, adding onto Edgeworth's comment, "It's not the kind of job that a person with a family to go back to should be taking on. That guy's got one thing right. I'm sure your family'd be worried sick if they knew what kind of trouble you've been getting yourself into."
