27: Obviously I need to find something else to occupy myself with...

[samuraiprosecutor]

Cor blimey, I taste like Tea. I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?

[Locked to Wright]
Wright, did you find out anything yet?

Comments

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

Most unfitting, I think, as I can't imagine you being one unnoticed.

Though... I'm merely commenting to apologize: I did not mean to bother you in my distress.

[attorneyatlol]

I tashte like Alcohol. Heh. Heh. I taste like beer. I like beer. Buy me a beer. I'm not drunk, I can drink plenty without... What was I saying? Beer. What Flavour Are You?

...Huh?

[Locked to Edgeworth]
A little. Not all of it good, but... no worse than any other case.

[samuraiprosecutor]

I see no need for an apology...in regards to that particular behavior. You were obviously not in complete control.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Wright, really. I had no idea. ...Is it time for an intervention yet?

[Locked to Wright]

A challenge, as usual? Then I won't be disappointed by your performance on Monday. Excekkent.

[attorneyatlol]

Funny.

[Locked to Edgeworth]
It's a little difficult to be intimidated when you make typos like that.

[samuraiprosecutor]

You surprised me yet again, Wright. I certainly never expected to see you fsll prey to such a vice. How disappointing.

[Locked to Wright]

I do apologize. I shall make an effort to be more intimidating...I will be seeing you before the trial on Monday? That would be an excellent time to start.

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Hee hee... that looks like fun...

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

And yet another apology falls to deaf ears. I know they may be frivolous and insincere to you, Mr. Edgeworth, but I do mean what I say. The least you can do is humor me and respect that, despite whatever insincerity you think I have displayed towards you.

Whether you excuse it or not, I do not and still feel the need to apologize. I suppose I should thank you for humoring me in my previous state as well.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Your results seem more appropriate than mine.

Did you speak with Wright about keepiing your journal?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Very well. Apologize, if you must. Though I don't see the need, I can hardly force you to refrain from doing so.

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

I'm curious. If conscious thought counts as control, then would you still excuse the behavior?

[attorneyatlol]

I certainly never expected you to believe an online quiz. Besides, you're hardly quiet, polite, or gentle.

[Locked to Edgeworth]
Looking forward to it.

[attorneyatlol]

I'd agree to all that except the last part. I think you stand out.

[samuraiprosecutor]

On the cintrary. I can be polite, when it's warranted or deserved.

[Locked to Wright]

I as well. It will be interesting observing from a different perspective. Provided you don't disappoint, of course.

[attorneyatlol]

Guess that means I never warrant or deserve it, then.

[Locked to Edgeworth]
You just have to keep throwing that in there, don't you?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Thought does not count as control. Being aware of your actions and being able to halt them if so desired are two different matters.

If, however, one was aware of and chose not to refrain from behavior they knew was wrong, then no, in such a case I would not excuse them.

[samuraiprosecutor]

You are a special case.

[Locked to Wright]

I'm doing my part to ensure you are devoting enough of yourself to this case.

[attorneyatlol]

I'll remember to feel flattered next time you insult me.

[Locked to Edgeworth]
By making me self-conscious? Thanks.

[samuraiprosecutor]

You should.

[Locked to Wright]

My attention makes you self-conscious?

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

Knowing people are watching me makes me a little self-conscious.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

...Wright, people are watching you throughout every trial. You have a gallery full of people and the court personnel, icluding myself in some cases, intent on everything you have to say. How would my attention now be any different?

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

Depending on the severity of some behavior, I very well doubt that.

...Is there a reason you were fixed on my friends in one of our conversations?

[samuraiprosecutor]

I would hardly call my interest 'fixed.' I merely wondered that they remained silent when prior they'd always been eager to come to your defense. Considering the state you were in, it seemed uncharacteristic of them to refrain from becoming involved.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

I know, but it's different when someone actually acknowledges the fact that they'll be watching you.

Never mind. Like I told Zelos, I'll probably forget about it by the time the trial starts. You know how... focused I get.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Really, Wright. I should think you have been doing this long enough to have overcome any stage fright.

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

If it was mere wonder, then I must wonder why you did not leave it be the first time I evaded the question. Especially when you lack any remote concern for me.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

I don't have state fright, I just... don't like knowing people are watching me!

[samuraiprosecutor]

Simple human curiosity, I suppose. When someone acts counter to behavior established prior, it's natural to wonder at the cause.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I sincerely hope your arguments in this trial will be more firmly grounded in logic.

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

Then ease my suspicions that the only injury I made during our argument is that caused by the absence of mediation of my friends' hostilities.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

[samuraiprosecutor]

If that was the only injury you made, it would be enough. But no, that was not the only complaint I was left with.

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

I apologize for that then. When you attacked me, I was rather thrown and focused on you; I thought you would have handled whatever argument they presented you with as well.

Are you honestly betrayed by the alteration of zero-sum's intentions?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Rest assured, I handled all arguments I was presented with.

If you would tell me I have no right to be, the discussion will end here.

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

By not mediating them, did I also unknowingly betray something?

No, I do not fault you. It's just...I can't believe that it was the only source of what wronged you.

[samuraiprosecutor]

There was nothing to betray.

It was the catalyst. It was not the only source.

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Yes! He said it was ok as long as I didn't speak to any strangers. We're going to talk to Mystic Maya about it.

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

...I see.

You were once and briefly part of a circle of people I have the utmost respect and trust for; it was a mistake to consider you as such but not a mistake I regret making. I hope one day you will be able to believe what I said and forgive me...because I'd like to say you are part of that circle again.

[samuraiprosecutor]

A wise course of action. Have you been able to avoid strangers so far?

[samuraiprosecutor]

I keep careful company, Mr. Winner. When someone proves themselves to be grossly below my standards, they are no longer part of the company I keep.

It was not what you said that failed to meet my standards, but what your words revealed.

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

I think so... no one's tried to talk to me except the people that did before you and Mr. Nick spoke to me... so I think that's okay.

[ttly-an-arab.livejournal.com]

I understand then.

I'm honored to have been part of that company for what small time I was, and thank you for giving me the ability to learn certain lessons.

[samuraiprosecutor]

I should think so. Are you...enjoying yourself here?

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am! It's so interesting, the things that you can find on this internet... and the people I talked to on my first post did seem quite nice, even if they were strangers...

Have you met any bad people on here, Mr. Edgeworth? Like what Mr. Nick said...?

[samuraiprosecutor]

I have. Likely many of the same people Wright has met. Though I have met others that are...good people. ...You haven't spoken to anyone here since the first day?


((OOC: If Pearl plays her cards right Edgey might intervene on her behalf. XD Also, will tag her post with the song tonight, sorry!))

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh...

No, I haven't! Maybe if you or Mr. Nick showed me the good people that you've met here, then I would know for sure if it's okay for me to speak with them...

((OOC: Awww~! Also, Edgey's reaction to that post was WIN, I tell you.))

[samuraiprosecutor]

I suppose that would be safe enough... Wright would need to agree to it first, as he seems to have taken on responsibility for you.
