[ARCHIVED] IC-inbox

[cantacquityou]

...This is a general post for Paradisa residents, should anyone wish to harass visit or contact Edgeworth ICly. If you are not from Paradisa (I.E., from another game/dressing room, etc), you are welcome to interact with Edgeworth via his Hotel Room. 

 LOLNOPE. Edgey has a new inbox now. Go there.

Room at various angles.

...Because Edgeworth is very well-off, there will be no question that he will request as much from the castle as he can to feel 'at home.' Therefore, his room will be inspired by a room of one of his favourite hotel suites - the Hazlitts in Soho, London. The hotel room is a bit smaller than it appears in the picture, but is extremely richly furnished and decorated. However, with opulence comes a price, as usual, and because of Edgeworth's fastidious tastes, the castle will inflict upon him at least one temporary loss per month. Unbeknownst to Edgeworth, of course.

At any given time, there will be a book or two on the bed, and others placed sporadically at various crevasses within the room.  There is another, smaller partition of the room containing a couch, small table, and chair. There are a pair of small speakers, a heated blanket, a small fridge with at least two wine bottles, and a heating apparatus that doesn't emit microwaves. There's also a burgundy/blue chess set. There's no television, no futon, and of course, no Oldbag . There is a black box on the desk that requires not only a key to be opened, but a sliding puzzle to be solved. There's also a medium-sized kitchen. The bathroom is nothing particularly fascinating, as he doesn't spend enough time in there to feel the need to expend too much effort in decorating it, and it is much smaller than one may expect after seeing the room. There is, however, a clean bathtub lined with a few red/gold, unused candles.









See the chess piece? Definitely Edgeworth's room.

The kitchen is similar to this, but quite smaller:

Why am I always under the impression that you two have been getting along rather well? Have I been mistaken?

[takethat]

It's not that I don't get along with him... there are very few people I just flat-out don't get along with.

[And Wheatley is one of them.]

But I still don't know him that well, and it's weird and uncomfortable being stuck with somebody like that.

[cantacquityou]

...Such goes for myself with Vanyel, if you understand where I am going with this.

[takethat]

Well...

[No, he doesn't have a clue what Edgeworth means.]

...I just kind of think the castle really wants me to suffer this time. I think it's getting me back for all the times things haven't been so bad in the past.

[cantacquityou]

That's not quite what I was getting at...

[Oh gosh. This is going to have to involve sharing some unnecessary feelings. Ugh. This is going to suck.]


...Wright. I am sure that you would agree with me should I say that our...relationship... shortly since my arrival has been rather...tumultuous...

[takethat]

...okay, I can give you that.

[He crosses his arms over his chest. Where is this going...?]

[cantacquityou]

...and...forgive me if I am wrong, but... [Oh dear.]...recently, we have been faring quite better in that department. Perhaps that is just my impression...

[takethat]

...right...

[Edgeworth has been being nice for a change! ...not that Phoenix is going to say it like that.]

So what are you getting at?

[cantacquityou]

...I...

...couldn't help but wonder if the Castle paired us frequently due to our tendency to be rather short-fused with each other, and upon discovering that we have been getting along much better in recent times...

...separated us... for less-favourable partnerships.

[takethat]

So you think the castle is pairing us in ways that will make us unhappy?

[Considering...]

That's... not really... how I'm seeing past events.

[cantacquityou]

Why is that?

[takethat]

Because.

[Hmph.]

[cantacquityou]

...







[..."Because you're someone I'd rather not be paired up with, either," is what he'd expect to hear, given his impression of their last encounter. Needless to say, not something he'd like to risk having to hear...

He waves a hand dismissively.]


...That's quite alright. You don't have to elaborate.

[takethat]

[Edgeworth's ability to misconstrue most everything he says is something Phoenix has been slowly coming to grasp, within recent months--they've both admitted to misunderstandings in the past, and he doesn't want that to happen again now.

Still, he's not... looking forward to what he's about to say. There are many other ways this could go badly, after all.





But it has to be said. Edgeworth shared his side of things, so Phoenix is silently insistent on doing the same.

Maybe it'll be okay.]








...it's just that I didn't really mind being with you for the other stuff.

...so... so that logic doesn't work.

[cantacquityou]

...Oh.



...At times, it's rather difficult to tell.

[takethat]

[Okay. That went... better? than expected.]

...I could say the same about you.

[cantacquityou]

Understandable.

[takethat]

[Nope. Much worse than expected. His shoulders sag a bit, but his voice is strong and just a little bit angry--just a little--when he speaks up again.]

This is really all you have to say?

[cantacquityou]

I--erm... I was simply agreeing with you...


...As I am sure you know by now...expressing myself efficiently is ...not exactly my forte...

[takethat]

[Yes... Phoenix does know that. And, he reminds himself, he also knows by now that what seems vastly important to him doesn't ever matter a tick to Edgeworth.

Oh, well. At least he was worried about nothing?

...]

...right.

...maybe it's all just at random and there's no reason at all for the castle to be like this, but the odds don't really add up for that.

[cantacquityou]

You know that is not true...

[takethat]

Of course I do, but..

[But I had to say something.]

...might as well put all the cards on the table, huh?

[cantacquityou]

In regards to what?

[takethat]

All the... possibilities, even the unlikely ones.

[cantacquityou]

Surely that is not all, seeing as though we've yet to come up with a solid conclusion. Though it does make sense to me that the Castle would refrain from pairing us in situations acknowledging that we are apt to cooperate with each other, and work together rather than against...
