[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:

Mere beliefs do not necessarily procure truth.

[takethat]

I'll find evidence later.

[He stretches and puts his feet on the table. Because he's classy like that.]

I'm still in recovery. I don't have to be at work constantly.

[Snerk.]

[cantacquityou]

[He pauses and ...simply stares at Phoenix for a good moment.]


...And just when I thought there could be nothing more delightful than to have our bowl of fruit accompanied by your feet...

[takethat]

What? They're clean. I just got out of the bath, after all.

[cantacquityou]

...




You could have asked for a footrest.

[takethat]

[Eyeroll. Oh well, if it's that big of a deal...


He puts his feet back on the ground.]

Better?

[cantacquityou]

[Wow...That was surprisingly compliant...Feeling kinda anal now. :/]

If you must, here up on the couch might serve to be a more comfortable alternative...

[takethat]

[Eh it's just feet on a coffee table. He would've been disappointed if Edgeworth hadn't complained, really.

He takes a glance at the sofa.]

It's not really big enough for that with two people sitting on it. [And he still doesn't want you to go.]

The other option would involve kicking Edgeworth =D

[cantacquityou]

You're underestimating the size of the couch. [gestures to the armrest]

[takethat]

...and where will my head go if my feet are up on the armrest? Doesn't sound too comfortable to sit up like that...

[cantacquityou]

...














[Moves to the floor.]

[takethat]

Wait, hey! Don't do that! Come back!

[cantacquityou]

I'm giving you space.

[takethat]

I'd rather my feet stay on the floor than you, thanks...

[cantacquityou]

You are unwell. You as hell know I would not be doing this otherwise. Take advantage of it.

[takethat]

I don't want to take advantage of anything. Please just get back up on the sofa.

[His feet are planted firmly on the ground.]

I'm not making you sit on the floor, and I mean it.

[cantacquityou]

Tch.









[Gets back on the sofa. :/]

[takethat]

[Oh yay he won that one.





Cue Phoenix's own "victorious smirk." ...yeah....]

[cantacquityou]

[Only because you're sick so your opinion matters more FOR NOW and because Edgeworth still totally blames himself for the incident]


[So, IGNORING said smile, he simply picks up the sketchbook and studies the sketch.]



...


...What exactly do you expect of me?

[takethat]

I expect you to do your own thing while I go about being your friend. In other words... I don't really expect anything from you. Just continue being yourself. [Also let me lean on you when I feel bad ;;]

[cantacquityou]

But you also want me to distort my face into this. [he holds up the picture]

How do you propose I go about doing that simply by being myself?

[takethat]

I just think that, with time, "being yourself" will include a few real smiles like that.

Is it so wrong for me to have faith in your future happiness?

[cantacquityou]

[Takes a considerably long time to think of how to respond to this...]



...What does it concern you?

[takethat]

You're my friend. Seeing you happy is important to me.

[This is true--he'd tell Maya the same thing in the right situation--but it's probably not the whole truth. Oh well.]

[cantacquityou]

The very concept of 'happiness' eludes me. Each time I seek said 'happiness,' I realize that any semblance of such is simply going to be mercilessly retracted when I least expect it, so much so that I end up expecting it, and that all of my efforts will eventually end up futile.

...

I think I will simply give up on happiness and simply settle with 'contentedness.' That seems to be good enough. Is that alright?
