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?

[azuredemonic]

That is what was claimed, yes.

[cantacquityou]

How unnervingly discouraging.

[azuredemonic]

I'm sure. Hard to imagine a mystery going unsolved for half a decade.

[cantacquityou]

Is that to imply that this place has only existed for that amount of time?

[azuredemonic]

No. Rather, I simply mean that those who have been here the longest haven't been able to discover this place in that time. Or organize a mutual effort to maintain an ongoing investigation that bore results.

[cantacquityou]

That would have been highly unlikely, anyway. Is there any record of when this place came into existence?

[azuredemonic]

None that I am aware of, though I've yet to sift through everything the library has to offer.

[cantacquityou]

I'd venture a guess that you're relatively content here.

[azuredemonic]

Books are knowledge, knowledge is power, and a great deal of these I have never before encountered. I'd say it goes a long way towards my becoming content.

[cantacquityou]

...'Never before encountered'...books?

[azuredemonic]

Indeed. Ones from different worlds that could never be found in my own.

[cantacquityou]

Ah. I suppose I see what you mean. I greatly misunderstood. But none of them spoke of the history of the castle?

[azuredemonic]

None so far, though I can hardly claim to have gone through them all.
