[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:

[She isn't happy to be leaving Edgeworth, nor does she seem too pleased with how noisy Sage is being right now, but they both settle down a little bit when they're back with Daddy. awww]

You know... Miles... I've heard some people say that the kids aren't going to stay forever. ...do you know anything about that?

[cantacquityou]

...What do you mean?

[takethat]

Some people I've been reading in the journals and stuff have said kids show up here ever year and then disappear again soon after.

[cantacquityou]

Are you--

[...'serious'? Come to think of it, it's not hard to believe... These castle-wide events tend to be temporary, in any case...]


...





...I-is that so...?

[takethat]

I really hope it's not true...

[He holds his girls just a little tighter.]

Right now I think I'd fight tooth and nail to keep these two with me.

[cantacquityou]

[Edgeworth stands silently for several seconds, looking at the two girls in his arms. He couldn't bear seeing those two ripped away from Phoenix after seeing them provide him with so much happiness. Not only that...]


...I would fight right along with you.


[He looks at his own - Vidia - in his arms. He would have never fathomed that he would want to father a child, but he has grown uncommonly attached to the little girl in the short space of time as well.]

[takethat]

[That's... good. He's not crazy, nor is he alone in not wanting to have to give up his kids. He nods.]

Maybe... maybe this will work out.

[It's a weak bit of optimism, and he knows it.]

I don't want any of them to have to leave. I'd miss Vidia almost as much as these two.

[cantacquityou]

...

Do you realize something? If they were to stay, then like the rest of us, they would cease to age. We'd be perpetually surrounded by toddlers.

[takethat]

[Wait for it...]







That sounds wonderful!

[cantacquityou]

...


Hmph...Should I have expected any different from you?

[takethat]

Do you have a problem with me liking kids?

[cantacquityou]

Of course not.

[takethat]

Well... good.

[He pecks both of his girls on the forehead in turn. They're both settling a little bit again, and Olive in particular is in a state of half-dozing.]

[cantacquityou]

She certainly likes to sleep, doesn't she? [He places Vidia on the bed so that she can get back to her books.]

[takethat]

I think she understands the importance of a good nap.

[A chuckle]

Maybe she got that from me, too.

[But she's not quite asleep yet, and she's peering with those drowsy blue eyes at Edgeworth, seeming to hang on his every word.]

[cantacquityou]

[Edgeworth rubs her tiny hand in a soothing manner.]

Yes? May I help you?

[takethat]

[She looks for all the world as though she's considering what to say before she smiles shyly and speaks again.]

Pretty hair.

[And she points at Edgeworth's head.]

[cantacquityou]

Well, that's a first.

[takethat]

You've never been told your hair is pretty before?

[That's... surprising.

Olive is grinning crookedly and still staring at said hair, but Sage begs to differ.]

Nuh-uh.

[cantacquityou]

Not directly. 'Unusual,' yes... After all, hair of this colour tends to be associated with old age...

[Turns to Sage]


...and what's on your mind, Little One?

[takethat]

Well, yeah, but...

[But Phoenix likes Edgeworth's hair. Unfortunately he's cut off from saying anything of the sort when Sage blows a messy raspberry and frowns.]

Mean!

[And flails in Vidia's direction once again.]

[cantacquityou]

Mean! [Vidia chirps]

[takethat]

[Sage squirms to be let down, as though she's going to go duke it out with Vidia. Phoenix does not oblige despite his arms getting tired.]

No, you!!

[cantacquityou]

[Vidia merely ignores her in favour of a toy on the bed she didn't recognize before.]


Now, now, you. No fighting... How about this? [He discreetly picks up a toy out of Vidia's range of sight and offers it to Sage.]

[takethat]

[Oh, good plan. Give the Larry-like child a toy that makes a lot of noise.

Immediately she's distracted and starts punching buttons wildly on it. Phoenix takes this opportunity to set her down on the ground, followed by Olive, who seems complacent enough with peering over at what Sage has now.]

You may regret that when the noise doesn't stop...
