[Backdated to around midnight. Action]

[cantacquityou]

 

[It was after midnight. Edgeworth was clad in a pair of deep-red pajamas, placidly enjoying a cup of tea in his kitchen, alternating between reading a chapter of the Steel Samurai manga, playing a digital game of chess, and idly researching comparisons between alternative medical treatments and conventional methods of medical practice of certain maladies on his tablet, when the Valentine's Day decor suddenly exploded into being all at once like some Harry Potter shit. Since he has headphones on, listening to 
Symphony No. 8 in B minor 'Unvollendete' by Schubert,  he doesn't notice the sudden change in decor until he looks up moments later.

He sighs. Another one of the castle's shenanigans, no doubt. He takes a few moments to check the Paradisa feed and notes that everyone else seemed to have the same 'problem,' so he realizes that it's probably unnecessary to make a castle-wide post inquiring about it.

He rises from the stool that he was sitting on, and walks about, surveying the place. As he descends the stairs towards his bedroom, his head turned upwards, studying the gaudy bedizenment of every nook and cranny of the place, he is certainly not prepared for the other part of the castle's surprise... 

He is, needless to say, very startled to find Phoenix Wright standing near the foot of his bed. His body tenses in fright upon seeing the unexpected visitor in his room, nearing dropping the tablet in hand. He begins to exhibit an array of speechless gestures of aggravation, including face!palming, clenching his fist and such, before he yells:]






...What the hell are you doing here?!


[/Edit: Room now looks something like this: Bed, Ceiling, Kitchen, and various elements from these rooms.  And when the lights are off, the walls of the room glows like this, this, and this. Others: Couch, Toilet, Misc1, Misc2, Misc3.]

Because of my preference for pragmatism?

[takethat]

...because you can't just loosen up and have fun and see where things go.

[cantacquityou]

...Right.

So, school me. Give me an example of how I can 'loosen up' in an effort to brighten my mood, will you?

this time it's the right icon ;D

[takethat]

...why, so you can make fun of me?

[cantacquityou]

...I haven't even been given the ammunition to determine whether or not I can.

[takethat]

I think I've been picked on enough for one morning, thanks.

[cantacquityou]

So, you will present me with suggestions and leave me with absolutely no idea on how to enforce them. I suppose I'll never learn to 'loosen up,' then, hm?

[takethat]

...fine. Do you ever do anything just for the heck of it? Do you ever just say, huh, I think I want to go... get some cotton candy for no good reason? Anything like that? That's what I mean by "loosen up" and "have fun." Just do what you want when you want to do it, sometimes, and let life take you wherever it's going to take you without worrying so much about it.

...you seem like you spend a lot of time worrying about what to do with that sand of yours.

[cantacquityou]

Yes, I have. I have done things 'just for the heck of it.' Quite a few times.

And if it is of any proof to you, it is exactly what I did in regards to that past lover of mine.

...It did not end well.

[takethat]

....neither did my "past lover," but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on spontaneity.

[cantacquityou]

If such 'spontaneity' involves hurting someone else in the process, I am not going to debase myself for the purpose. There is no compromising it.

[takethat]

You can't possibly know if it's going to hurt someone else or not until you try.

[cantacquityou]

I beg to differ. Sometimes you can. I knew what I was doing at the time, and I am not particularly proud of it.

[takethat]

If you knew what you were doing, that pretty much negates any "spontaneous" aspect of it.

[cantacquityou]

I meant that I had spontaneously acted upon my desires regardless of the fact that I knew that it would more than likely cause problems.

[takethat]

...still sounds like worrying too much about it before you made a decision. That would just be "making the wrong decision".... not "acting without thinking about it first."

[cantacquityou]

Either way, if I had let my thoughts influence my actions, it would not have happened at all. Thus, spontaneity. Unless you would prefer that I shut my thoughts off, which is rather impossible.

[takethat]

It's not that impossible to make a decision without actually thinking about it first. If I reach into the refrigerator and grab milk instead of soda, I made a decision I didn't really think about at all.

[cantacquityou]

My point is that I acted independently of my thoughts on a whim. That is what would be referred to as, 'spontaneous.'

[takethat]

I get your point. You're just being too stubborn to get mine.

[cantacquityou]

Hmph.


Well, then. I suppose I could kiss you...'just for the heck of it.'

[takethat]

What!!!

[cantacquityou]

...A 'spontaneous' thought....

[takethat]

...not that spontaneous!!

[cantacquityou]

...But are you not glad that before acting upon it, I...gave it some thought, first?
