(no subject)

Characters: Miles Edgeworth and Kyoko Sakura for the first prompt. Other two prompts open to everyone else!
Setting: Cafeteria, the day before the event starts. Floor 4 after the whale rumour comes true. Then the 3rd floor library after the event ends!
Format: Prose but I'll match!
Summary: Edgeworth and Kyoko end up arguing about the latter's eating habits. Also, Edgeworth witnesses a whale attacking and then feels shit about the event after it ends.
Warnings: Angst and references to PTSD.



The day before the event start. Open to Kyoko only!

[While this month's meal is a welcome change from the nutrition bars in April, Edgeworth was rather bored of eating the exact same thing every day. Which was why he decided to combine some chicken and rosemary together with some zucchini on the side and grill them.

Okay, Edgeworth was still eating chicken and rosemary. And zucchini. However, he was at least able to deviate a little from the cafeteria menu, which was better than nothing. It was reasonably healthy as well.

It was, needless to say, more difficult to cook when one of your arms was in a sling but Edgeworth was determined to make the best of things so he did manage.

So now the prosecutor was sitting in a quiet corner of the cafeteria, eating his lunch and observing anyone who came in. Including a certain girl who would start hogging all the ice cream....]




After the whale rumour comes true. Open to all.
[Edgeworth was on the fourth floor trying to copy more of those maps and lists that he had to do for Diarmuid. Everything was quiet and he occasionally looked around in case there was any danger.

Suddenly, he felt a huge rumble. A rumble big enough that it hit too close to home...

Immediately, the prosecutor’s knuckles turned white. His breathing turned to shallow gasps and he gripped onto the arm of his chair as if his life depended on it. That rumbling feeling....

Oh god, not an earthquake. Not here, not now!

Edgeworth was a strong person. He had willingly put himself in dangerous situations before and was normally able to think about what to do when under pressure. Earthquakes were a huge exception, however, people like Maya and Phoenix knew, much to the prosecutor's chagrin,.

Suddenly, he heard a huge cry which seemed to be coming from outside. As Edgeworth turned towards the window, he dropped his notes instantly when he saw a giant, big blue.....whale?
Before Edgeworth could fully process this in his mind, however, the whale suddenly stopped and for some reason, bounced off something....and fell?]


Wh-what the.....?!

After the event. In the library.

[To say that Edgeworth had a pretty rough time during the whole rumour event would be an understatement. It had actually left him extremely terrified.

The whale thing aside (which occurred every hour until the event was over, much to his horror), there was the issue of all those messages on the wall. Miles Edgeworth was not normally someone who believed in things without hard-boiled facts, nor was he the type who jumped to conclusions. Edgeworth used to do the latter once upon a time and it had caused the wrong people to end up in jail. The prosecutor knew better now.

The event proved one thing, however – whoever the administrators were, they were somehow able to mess with his mind. They were able to force him to believe things, regardless of how illogical they were – even if he only heard about them via simple graffiti. How could he be so careless and let that happen to him!

Because he had allowed his mind to get warped, Miles Edgeworth automatically believed that his trunk was getting raided and even made that humiliating network post about it. He also tried to change one of the horrible rumours in order to save Maya’s life and unintentionally ended up creating another horrible one – or rather the tower changed the rumour he originally wrote. Sure, neither rumour ended up becoming true and nobody exploded, but still.....

Edgeworth felt that at some point, he needed to make an apology network post, as well as check the network for any new information. No matter how many horrible or nonsensical things happened in Animus, he was still determined to find the truth of why he, Phoenix, Maya and everyone else were here. Sitting around and moping would not achieve that goal.

For the moment, Edgeworth can be found in the library, writing more notes (again) and looking over them. This is not an unusual sight but this time, it is easy to tell that something is bothering him. Edgeworth may be tough but he is not as good at hiding things as he would like to believe. He looks even gloomier than usual, for starters. And if that was not enough proof, he suddenly breaks his pencil by accident and his reaction is bit....extreme.]


Ngooooooooooooooh......blast it!

[And his lips curl into a snarl while he takes another pencil out of his pocket. Even Edgeworth would not normally get that frustrated over a mere broken pencil.]

[A moment later, a pen was being extended to him.]

[...In the silver hand of what looked to be the three-dimensional silhouette of a girl in a maid uniform, constructed entirely of mercury.]

[Seems legit.]

[Placing the pen on the table (her other arm seemed to be full of several books) the girl raised her now free hand and pointed across the room to where Waver seemed to be minding his own business reading. One might have been forgiven for thinking he wasn't paying attention at all, until he carelessly raised his own hand in greeting.]

[Was that supposed to be an explanation, Waver?]

Relax, it's not going to eat you. [He hadn't even looked up from the book he was reading. Business as usual, apparently.]

Magic, yes it is, and before you ask: no it's not going to poison anyone.

[It seems to be liquid mercury constrained to that specific shape--not exactly solid, but not a puddle on the ground either.]

[Waver finally closed the book he was reading, crossing his arms.]


It's called Volumen Hydragyrum. Most accomplished magi have a Mystic Code; kind of like a personalized magical weapon. This one is mine.

I was just using it to carry some books when I noticed your apparent inability to keep a pencil in one piece, so try not to faint.
fionnuisce: (and it was not your fault but mine)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2013-07-06 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well, if you insist.

[Waver made a vague hand gesture and muttered a phrase or two in Latin; the girl dissolved into simple liqui
d mercury and retreated into a simple glass vial he held.]


So if you don't make a habit of breaking innocent pencils, what brought this on?

Believe it or not, sometimes I'm a pretty nice person. Maybe I was concerned.

[Ken is trying to avoid people, true, but he's still got things to read up on. He's grabbed another book about law - another one about child care law - and is heading towards the tables. Edgeworth's cry of frustration makes him stare, though.]

... It's just a pencil.

[His voice is quiet and rough, but he can't even muster up the energy to look frustrated at the moment.]
miseris_socios: (well you're a jerk)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2013-05-30 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just stares back at Edgeworth, looking tired.]

Don't bother wasting your anger on it. Save it for the people who trapped us here.
miseris_socios: (scraps again...)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2013-06-16 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well it sure looks like that's what you're upset about. You're just going to waste your energy if you keep getting mad at little things. Use it to fight back.

[Edgeworth you're getting lectured by a preteen. What do?]

The father who ran away, or the mother who died in front of me?

[He crosses his arms, expression cold.]

Don't call me a child. I'm almost thirteen. And I'm more of an adult than a lot of people.
miseris_socios: (i look at dark days)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2013-07-02 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously.

[Now you've done it. :|]

I've taken care of myself for a few years. My name is Ken, not 'child'. Unless you'd also like me to start calling you by insulting nicknames.

[This girl will probably catch is attention. In one hand is a carton of ice cream. Apparently Kyoko wasn't satisfied with the typical gallon of ice cream, as several large scoops of ice cream lay on top of the gallon, making it look as though it might slide off and fall onto the floor at any section. Chunks of cookies have been mixed in with the ice cream as well, topped off with lavender syrup drizzled all over it.

All in all, it's the perfect recipe for diabetes. Even so, Kyoko seems happy enough with her meal, shoving one spoonful of ice cream after another into her mouth as she passes by Edgeworth's table. She slows, turns to look at him as she recognizes the familiar face, waving (or at least, giving as much of a wave as one can while holding a spoon.)]


Yo.

[personal profile] prayed 2013-06-01 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
[A LOT MORE THANKS TO HER ~*IMPROVEMENTS.*~

Kyoko takes another bite of ice cream and nods, apparently seeing nothing wrong with eating such a large amount of ice cream.]


Sure. That's why I took this much, y'know.
prayed: (( 028 ) only hoping that)

[personal profile] prayed 2013-06-14 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is a lot, though she doesn't seem terribly bothered by that fact as she takes a couple more bites.]

Yeah, so? What's your point?

[Boy, you had best not be implying that she's gonna get fat.]
prayed: (122.caplico)

so it begins

[personal profile] prayed 2013-06-15 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't that the same as saying that you're just looking for something to complain about? If you're gonna try and pick a fight with someone, you should at least be able to figure out what the problem is, y'know.
prayed: (201.stuffed french toast)

You wanna prove me wrong?

[Yeah, she's just being a smartass now.]

That's 'cause it's the obvious one. Anyone can see that you're just trying to nitpick, y'know.

[She takes a bit bite out of her ice cream. At first she talks around the spoon, muffling her words and likely making them difficult to decipher, but by the time she's done speaking she's opted to shake it at him meaningfully.]

The amount of ice cream I took is fine. I eat this much all the time.

[Which is kind of the problem, but whatever man.]

[Kyoko raises an eyebrow, responds in a deadpan tone. What a ridiculous thing to ask. Except she's the only one who'd think so.]

Really. It's not like I have any reason to lie about something like that, y'know.
prayed: (084 🍬)

[r u d e. She clicks her tongue.]

That's 'cause I burn it all off. It's not like I just sit around all day, y'know.

[Tohko had finished up with her library duties here for today, but she felt like copying down some of Enoch's story and eating it, and what better place to do that then the library? However, her retrieval unit of a stalker still followed her as she wrote, to her annoyance. Getting rid of 'Ivan' was a huge pain though, so she had decided not to do so..today.

She had also decided to not ignore the man who cried out over a broken pencil.]

Sir, are you alright? If that was your favorite pencil or a keepsake from home, I would be more than happy to see if I could fix it up with tape..or something of the sort.
tohko_amano: (Happy)

[At that, Tohko just smiled and held out her one pen for Edgeworth to take.]

Oh, it's alright! I like helping people, so don't worry about it! You can use mine until you're done.

[personal profile] tohko_amano 2013-07-06 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah..with that, Tohko put her pen back in her pocket and nodded.]

Alright then..but, if you don't mind my asking, where did you get all those pencils? Did the Administrators give them to you?
