Case #06. Wut.

[cantacquityou]

 

[One day, nearly a fortnight ago, Miles Edgeworth disappeared from Cair Paradisa to seek temporary, reclusive solace at a hotel in the City Royale. He alerted no one of this little vacation, and ceased all communication with everyone - be it through the journals, or otherwise...

...but he's back - however unintentionally - and not in any way he could have ever foreseen. His clothes - remnants of a white undershirt and reddish-pink pajama-bottoms - are in scorched tatters. 

In one hand, there's a 4.5 ft. baguette. In the other, a machine gun...A gumball machine gun.

...and with that, he is chasing a massive growlithe around the castle grounds. 

Perhaps you're one of the unfortunate souls to witness this. After all, there is a perfectly rational explanation.

...maybe.]

[ apologetically: ]

Well, a bit. I still find myself mystified.

[cantacquityou]

To make a long, utterly confusing story short, I am trying to retrieve something that she -- [Points to Veritas] -- took.

[incantati]

It must be something very important.

[ he still cannot see for the life of him where the baguette knife and the gumball gun come in, but he'll politely not comment on that again. ]

[cantacquityou]

Quite a few things of importance, actually... [He tries to slowly advance upon Veritas once more]

[incantati]

[ he was about to ask if he could help with this bit too, but best not break mr. edgeworth's concentration right this moment. ]

[...But instead, she's like, "LOLOLOLWUT' and runs off once more.]

[cantacquityou]

...As if I did not see that happening...

[incantati]

[ a little chuckle. ]

Perhaps it might be better to go about this the long way.

[cantacquityou]

The 'long' way?

[incantati]

The path you're treading right now. It might very well lead to a strengthening of the bond between you two.

[cantacquityou]

...I am not terribly concerned about bonding right now....

[incantati]

[ he's not laughing at you, he swears. ]

Of course, of course. Forgive my insensitivity. I simply forsee that it might be a perk.

Shall we give chase?

[cantacquityou]

You were actually serious...

[incantati]

Well, certainly. The link between man and animal can be quite strong. Things like this can only help.

[cantacquityou]

Do you not think that it would egg her on and further convince her that this is a game?

[incantati]

Well, it all depends on the manner in which you go about it.

[ a beat. ]

But that is possible as well.

[cantacquityou]
