Case #02

[cantacquityou]

 [It is late in the evening, and Edgeworth is returning to his room from spending countless hours at the Clinic. Upon opening his room door, something is a little...off, to say the least. He writes to the fellow residents of the castle:]








...I am still but a newcomer here, and I've yet to comprehend much the inscrutable workings of this place, but is finding a complete stranger in your bed considered a normal occurrence?

[gottaknockhard]

No reason to rush it, than.

[cantacquityou]

...Are you implying that I won't be able to?

[gottaknockhard]

Dunno. Let me know how it goes.

[cantacquityou]

[Gee. Thanks.]


Perhaps. If I die, I'll let you know.

[gottaknockhard]

[This is his way of helping...]

Hasn't happened yet, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

[cantacquityou]

I doubt there are many ways to prepare for demonic encounters.

[gottaknockhard]

...

[Kind of a sore spot with him, and he sounds just a little more monotone in his reply.]

Good point.

[cantacquityou]

If that is to the extent that you're willing to talk, I do believe I am shrewd enough to extrapolate based on indirect inferences.

[gottaknockhard]

[You lost him.]

Glad I could help.

.5 Pffthaha XD

[cantacquityou]

What is your name, if you don't mind me asking?

[gottaknockhard]

[Well, he probably would have heard it from Joshua anyway.]

Spike Spiegel.

[cantacquityou]

'Spike' appears to be a common name around here.

[gottaknockhard]

Yeah. Did you know the dragon or the vampire?

[ofhope]

Spike! He poked my face!

[gottaknockhard]

[...shh he's pretending not to know you geez.]

Never know what'll happen when you fall asleep in a stranger's bed.

[ofhope]

[ He will always foil your plots and play hobo poker... ]

I wasn't when all of this started.

[gottaknockhard]

[This is what he gets for being a nice guy.]

At least now you know it's you.

[ofhope]

Lucky me!

By the way, if you're going to talk about me behind my back, you could be more sly about it.

[gottaknockhard]

Probably. [But what can you do?]

[ofhope]

I think he's going to be more boring than you, what do you think?

[gottaknockhard]

I think it's not my problem.

[ofhope]

So cold. And after all those twinkies we shared...

[gottaknockhard]

You're the one who left.

[ofhope]

Not by choice! And you're so lucky, you can leave now, right?

I hope you didn't trip over her on your way out.
