[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:

If you'd get down off your high horse for a minute you might think of other reasons I don't want to go out there--like the fact that if you did have to come to my rescue, we're both naked.

[cantacquityou]

...and if you'd oblige me by doing the same, you would recall that I was referring to swimming at the beach in the first place.

[takethat]

I wasn't. I mentioned going further out in this bath and then you started picking on me. Make more sense if you want me not to misunderstand you.

[cantacquityou]

Isn't asking why you're afraid of swimming at the beach at this very depth comprehensible enough? That was the question, after all.

[takethat]

If you just shut your eyes, I'll get out of the bath and go back to the castle and then you won't have to worry about it anymore.

[cantacquityou]

[He puts a finger to his lips and swims in closer, draping his arms on the rocky edge]

Shhhh~, my hot-headed friend. You can't leave just yet...

[takethat]

[Inching ever so slightly away...]


...well why not? I'm good and cooked, I think...

[cantacquityou]

Because I'd miss you far...far too much.

[takethat]

I'm really not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not...

[It's enough to make him self-conscious about his nakedness again anyway. brb crossing legs]

[cantacquityou]

Take it as a compliment and stay with me a bit more, will you?

[takethat]

...only because you asked nicely.

[cantacquityou]

...There you go. Now...why don't you also show me that you do trust me as you say...and allow me to teach you how to swim one of these days?

...At the beach, I mean.

[takethat]

I don't ask you to let me take you for elevator rides to prove you trust me...


[Even so, he's silently agreeing to this proposition, for completely selfish reasons.]

[cantacquityou]

...Alright, alright. I will let you off the hook this time.

Though, I could save you from drowning should you panic. If were were to happen upon a faulty elevator, there is no amount of assistance from you that would prevent us from being...as you would say, 'totally screwed.'

[takethat]

[He definitely mutters something about "climbing out" and "pulling to safety" but he lets the matter go; no need to talk elevators with Edgeworth and ruin an otherwise tolerable moment.]

I can give you a maybe.

[A pause.]

It's hard not to be really relaxed in this water, isn't it?

[cantacquityou]

A 'maybe'? Well, if that isn't progress...

It isn't so bad now, is it?

[takethat]

I guess not... but mostly, I think it's just getting to my brain and making me feel a false sense of security...

[cantacquityou]

...A 'false sense of security'? About what, pray tell?

[takethat]

...I'd think "being naked in a bath with you" would be the obvious answer to that.

[cantacquityou]

Ah, I had almost forgotten that was a concern. Worry not, my friend. You have nothing to fear from me. As I said before, I may be a gay man, but I do have my standards.

[takethat]

[Oh. Burn.]






...yeah, and we're back to me being inadequate.

[He forces a laugh to prove that was a carefree statement.]

[cantacquityou]

Oh, come now, I didn't mean it in such a manner.

[takethat]

[He's not sure there's any other way to take "I may swing that way but I have standards," but again, it's not worth arguing.]

I don't really care about being here with you just because you're gay, you know. That doesn't really have anything to do with it.

[cantacquityou]

If you say so. You owe me no explanation, though it admittedly still strikes my curiosity... [His eyes droop and his head slowly tilts to the side. He quickly replaces empty space with an arm, propping his head up as if catching himself from falling over sideways.]

[takethat]

[Don't expect that to go unnoticed.]

Miles? You okay?
