Characters: Miles Edgeworth and you!
Setting: Media room, afternoon
Format: Action but I'll match.
Summary: Edgeworth regained some Steel Samurai DVDs and is trying (and failing) to watch them in peace.
Warnings: None yet.

[So, guys, when you walk into the media room, you will see some figure wrapped in some blanket, sitting on one of the couches, watching what looks like some children’s show. It involves some tin-looking man with a spear fighting some dude in purple. With silly stunts and special effects and stuff. With the tin man shouting things like “Samurai punch!,” and “Samurai chop!” and the dude in purple either making trademark evil villain laughs or going, "Curse you, Steel Samurai!"

And no, the guy in the blanket is totally not Edgeworth. And no, he has totally not wrapped the blanket all over himself to make it look like a cloak. And no, he totally has not used some piece of string to keep the ‘cloak’ from slipping.

And no, he does not pull the cloak over his face every time someone enters the room so that nobody recognises him.

You are all clearly delusional.]

Comments

[bashfulshifter]

[So the media room isn't on Rick's typical circuit of the Tower, but he does pass it by on his way to the workshop and occasionally catches snippets of happenings within. He's used to hearing video games, movie snippets...action movies, perhaps. But never children's shows. It's kind of surprising.]

[This of course means that Rick needs to go investigate. He stands behind the mysterious cloaked figure (who seems entirely too old for the film being watched) and observes the antics of the main characters with a growing smile and the occasional amused chuckle.]

[Whoever put this in might not like his hovering, though, so after a few minutes of this Rick decides it would be best to make sure: ]

...You, ah...d-d-don't m-mind if I j-join, do you?

[frilliance]

Gaaaaaaah! [God, that voice....it's Mr. Dawn, isn't it? Edgeworth pulls his 'hood' over his eyes further. A man of his position is not going to get caught watching a children's show - a very well-written children's show with some witty lines, mind you, but still a children's show all the same. It's bad enough that Diarmuid and Ryoji have been questioning him about it.

Time to pull something off so that Mr. Dawn does not recognise him. Put on an accent? The first one that comes to his head is that of a certain female photographer...]

Er....sure thing. If, y...er...ya don't mind, I'll be going...goin' in a sec.

[Oh god, that is not a good accent and he knows it. Why is he doing this? God, why doesn't Mr. Dawn get out of the room?]

[bashfulshifter]

[Rick pulls a face. Is...is this guy trying to pull a fake accent? He thinks to ask--then realizes how terrible he'd sound if that really was what he sounded like, the ensuing embarrassment, all that business, so Rick decides (wisely in his opinion) not to say anything about it.]

[That being said, the poor fellow seems really uncomfortable about being called out. Rick's found something else to be flustered with!]

--I-I-I'm n-not, ah--d-driving you o-out, a-am I?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Oh no, that cloak is not fooling anyone, especially not Ryoji. He had entered this floor with a DVD of his own (the first season of Phoenix Ranger Featherman R, to be exact), and had been hoping to watch it, but what the 'mysterious cloaked man' is watching seems much more interesting. He sits down on one of the nearby couches, shooting a grin at Edgeworth.]

Mind if I join you?

[frilliance]

[Edgeworth recognises that voice without even looking. GOD, WHY DOES HE HAVE TO SHOW UP? QUICK, TRY AND PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE. AND FAIL MISERABLY AT IT.

Edgeworth quickly pulls his hood down.]

...S-sure if ya want. [Now, try and find an excuse to sneak quietly away...]

[notsogrimreaper]

[WOW SOMEONE WOULD THINK WITH THAT REACTION THAT EDGEWORTH DIDN'T LIKE RYOJI. WHY SO MEAN? Even if Ryoji can kind of tell Edgeworth doesn't want him around, he's definitely not going to budge. He wanted to see this show ever since Diarmuid mentioned it, so he's not backing down now. He offers a nod of thanks, and then glances over at the television, seemingly distracted.]

This seems like a fun show. What's it called?

[bydefacto]

[Sealand is intrigued by the TV show almost as soon as he enters the room. It reminds him of the Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles, and other kid's shows he watched back home. He goes over to stand by the sofa, watching with interest, not at all concerned by the way the man sat down seems to be hiding from anyone coming onto the floor.]

That show looks super cool, Mister. What's it called?

[frilliance]

[ANOTHER person coming to interrupt him? NGHOOOOOH.]

U-um....I have absolutely no idea. [Liar. The bunch of DVDs is lying right beside him and the title pretty much says: 'Steel Samurai The Warrior Of Neo Olde Tokyo Volume 1']

[bydefacto]

[Sealand pretty much ignores any reluctance he might notice. He goes over to sit beside the other guy, picking up and reading one of the DVDs between them.]

Steel Samurai, The Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo. Huh! This looks like one of Japan's TV shows; is it? Can I watch it with you?

[fionnuisce]

You're not subtle, you know.

[Short, sweet, to the point, and right behind you Edgeworth]

I sincerely hope this disguise of yours wasn't meant seriously, because your understanding of the concept is mildly terrifying if that is in fact the case.

[frilliance]

Gnn.....NGHOOOOOOOOOOH! [And if the shit disguise wasn't a giveaway, his trademark scream of horror is.]

/late and sheepish tag?

[historyrabbit]

[Lavi's not even looking at Edgeworth to be honest.

He's kinda just...enthralled with what's on the screen. Because it's neat but at the same time...hilariously inaccurate in places.

The redhead leans on the back of one of the couches, grinning.]

Man, Yuu'd get a kick out of this. [Probably in the wrong way, the Japanese swordsman was touchy about those things.]

No worries.

[frilliance]

[And yet another person. God, does he hate his life right now.

Trying not to let Lavi see his face, he glances straight at the floor's exist. Maybe he can sneak out and come back later?]

[midgarhorizon]

[Mysterious figure? Check. Ridiculous TV show? Check. Catching sight of that from the stairwell is all together far too tempting.

Still clad in that bedamned Raven uniform, Reno crept slowly toward Edgeworth, trying to see if he could catch sight of the man's face. He isn't really trying, however, just playing around.

Besides, the samurais kicking around reminds him of those awful kids shows they used to play in Midgar and Junon when he was younger. It's kinda nostalgic, in a way.]

[frilliance]

[If Reno manages to successfully glance at Edgeworth's face under the hood without him noticing - he is rather absorbed by the show so there is a chance - he will find that the man's eyes are fixated on the telly. And yes, he is enjoying the show immensely, if you can tell by the occasional smile on his face.]

[humility]

[for whatever reason, Aqua hasn't had much exposure to this kind of technology. she's seen it before plenty of times in her travels to other worlds, but her home world never had anything like it. it's still exciting, so she tends to stop here every other day or so to watch something new.

this...is definitely new. the only way she can distinguish it as a children's show is because of the oversimplified dialogue. still, it's colorful and full of relatively harmless fights, so her curiosity is piqued.

as she comes around the other side of the couches, she notices the cloaked figure. he doesn't feel like that stranger from her first day here - no darkness. she doesn't say anything for a while, sitting down and watching.

she even gets into it a little. but sometimes she feels like she's missing things - maybe it's something one has to watch in order.]


Excuse me- [there's no one else to ask, and as far as she can tell, the stranger is watching, too:] -I'm a bit lost. How does the Pink Princess come into this?

1/3

[frilliance]

[And, because he hasn't fully realised that someone else is in the room yet....] The Pink Princess is the sequel to the Steel Samurai. There are three arcs in the series - the Steel Samurai, the Pink Princess and the Nickel Samurai [Except Edgeworth didn't like the Nickel Samurai that much - he felt that a) the quality was weaker, b) The actor, Matt Engarde was an overrated pretty boy, as well as a criminal.] The Steel Samurai and the Pink Princess do eventually get married, however....

2/3

[frilliance]

[WAIT A SEC, WHAT DID HE JUST-?!]

3/3

[frilliance]

O-or that is what I have heard! I have never actually...um....seen the show myself, however. [FML]

[terra_nullius]

[WHAT IS THIS

it's so...

amusing...

Slowly he creeps forward, eyes glued to the TV. He doesn't know what it is, except that it's playing some kind of story, and he wants to watch more of it.

Wordlessly he sits down on the other end of the couch, eyes transfixed to the TV. Normally he would have said something to indicate his presence, but this time he's distracted by the shiny pictures.]

Sorry this is late.

[frilliance]

[Edgeworth hasn't noticed Terranort yet. He's too busy being fixated by this episode's gripping plot about the Steel Samurai trying to save a poor village being attacked!]

[brbtalkingtogod]

[He's certainly not delusional. But this sight was... certainly the most amusing he had seen in a while, given the past few days. In fact, Lucifel felt a little like fooling around, given how an adult human was wearing a "cloak".]

Live-action shows, huh?

/crawls in and backtags.

[frilliance]

Muuwwwaaaah?! [Yeah, he's not very good with this disguise thing, considering his reactions when someone enters the room.]

I can't resist it's Steel Samurai

[imperialsun]

[Well if you expected Naoya to give you a hard time for watching this, it was quickly dispelled as he walked over nearer to the TV screen and stared in silence at the program for a few minutes.]

This is like Phoenix Ranger Featherman R. I didn't know we had other sentai shows to watch.

[Personally he was more into videogames than television but this would be a good way to unwind before going to be--wait who was the guy in the cloak.]

You alright?

[Are you sick?]

Sorry this is late!

[frilliance]

[And Edgeworth freezes once he realises that someone is in the room.] Er.....um....[God, what convincing lie can he come up with to get Naoya to go away?]
