[lifeandpride]

[This... was not where he expected to be. That's apparent by the look on his face, which is both confused and cautious. He reaches for something at his side, only to find it missing and a strange book tucked into his hakama-himo where it should have been.

This appears to anger him slightly. He looks suspiciously at his surroundings and whispers to no one in particular.]

...Has he managed to fool us once again?

[Finding no answer or immediate danger in his surroundings, he flips open the book, looking for clues.]

What is this?

[lifeandpride]

I'm pleased to meet you. ...two weeks? It must be still difficult for you to understand as well.

[cantacquityou]

...Very.

[lifeandpride]

I apologize if I've only added to the confusion.

[cantacquityou]

I fail to see how. The least I can do is impart what I know. You should at least be made aware that you should have a room prepared for you here, too.

[lifeandpride]

I do appreciate it.

[a pause.]

I suppose that settles that I'm expected to stay. At the moment I can't think of any alternative. Where can I find this room?

[cantacquityou]

I wish I could tell you. I suppose this place expects you to walk about find it on your own. It took me two days to find my own.

[lifeandpride]

...oh dear.

[cantacquityou]

I'd perhaps use the journal at this point to seek out anyone you might know here. Then, once they know you're here, they can be on the lookout for your room.

[lifeandpride]

[Of course. If he had been taken here, why did he assume he was the only one from his own world? Still, one just didn't announce 'any shinigami out there?' did they? He would have to be discrete.]

That might be best. I guess I'll have to start looking into it.

[cantacquityou]

[looking down at his cup, he idly picks out a tea-leaf floating atop his tea]

...In case you fail to find your own by nightfall, perhaps you may wish to temporarily utilize one that I know to be currently vacant until you find your own.


[And yes. He's totally offering up his friend's room without permission. =D]

[lifeandpride]

[He considers it. Usually he did not wish to use things or places that weren't his own, but two days without sleep sounded like a bad idea.]

Perhaps that might be best, if I cannot find it. What room are you referring too?

[cantacquityou]

It belongs to said friend of mine who is currently staying with me for a little while.

[lifeandpride]

[Oh.]

Perhaps it's best if I asked permission first, instead... I suppose I can always do some talking into the journal if I cannot find my own room.

[cantacquityou]

[Pfft, he does things like this to him all the time.]

You're welcomed to. Knowing him, I am sure he'd have made the offer, himself.

[lifeandpride]

If it's all the same, I think I will pass unless I talk to him personally. I don't wish to invade anyone's privacy.

[...or ruin anyone's bedsheets if he got a sudden fit, now that he thought about it.]

I do appreciate the thought, though.

[cantacquityou]

As I said, you are welcomed to speak with him should the situation deem necessary. Actually, he should know far more than I do, as he has been here for months, apparently. I, myself, am quite surprised at how well you're taking all of this.

[lifeandpride]

Let's just say I've seen many strange things in my lifetime. It's inconvenient, but I find nothing gained in causing a ruckus about it - that actually sounds like a dangerous idea.

[a pause.]

Perhaps his name? Then I can seek out his permission when the time comes.

[cantacquityou]

[He pauses for a bit before scribbling into his own journal and tearing out a piece. It says:

Phoenix Wright, Defense Attorney

He hold it up between his middle/index fingers.]

---->[[Scrap of paper - "Phoenix Wright" added to Court Record.]]


Here. I trust he'll be of more help that I could hope to be.

[lifeandpride]

I do appreciate it.

[If he is handed the piece of paper, he will take it graciously.]

I thank you for all of your help today.

[cantacquityou]

[Waves a hand dismissively.]

Thanking me is unnecessary. In any case, we are in Room 502 should you require any additional assistance. If you have no further questions as of now, I suppose I will bid you adieu so that you may have time to utilize the suggestions at hand.

[lifeandpride]

[He nods.]

Very well. That sounds like a good idea. Good bye for now.
