cantacquityou | [ARCHIVED] IC-inbox

...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:

...no, don't apologize for being yourself.

...

[This is Edgeworth looking sad. Really, really sad.]

....

[When he notices that, he melts... and wants to hug Edgeworth even more. Again.]

...I'm sorry, Miles. I didn't mean that... the way it ended up sounding.

...No matter. I should have expected that.

H-hey... I apologized...

[Sigh]

...if you keep looking that sad, I'm just going to want to hug you. And then I'll be bothering you all over again, so... if I were you, I'd smile.

[He gives a soft chuckle just to punctuate the fact that he's kidding. Kind of. (Not really.)]

...It is...not all that bothers me...

...what do you mean?

...There is more to what I meant when I said that our friendship is sometimes a burden on me...

...there is? I thought you were just tired of being hugged...

...When I hesitated to help you transport your gremlin-fish, you were upset at me. Why?

His name is Magikarp...

...and I was upset because first you berated me for not having a better place for him, and then you stood there and watched me struggle with moving him and didn't bother to help me at all. If the roles had been reversed then, I would've helped you in a second.

...As I said before, I was simply trying to take a minute to come up with a better way to get it done. Instead, because I did not rush to get slapped about by a fish along with you, you accused me of being too 'lazy' to help before I had much of a chance to do so.

...In the end, you ultimately took my suggestions. And do you regret it?

I know that now, Miles, but you asked me why I was upset then. That's the answer. And even knowing now what your reasoning was, I still would've helped you anyway if I'd been in your place. Don't ask questions you don't want to hear the answer to.

...That was not my point at all. And, in fact, your response just now simply supports it.

Supports what? You're talking in circles again... how can I do this right when agreeing with you still isn't what you want?

...Calm down, Wright.

I just want to do this right. I don't want to break things any more than they already are.

...then please have patience and listen to what I am trying to say.

...A few days ago, when I had requested that you 'come with me,' what did you think I had meant?

...I....

[He's so... so embarrassed now.]

...I...

....I don't know what I thought.

[Blinks.]

...Well, neither do I. But I clearly recall you becoming highly irate when I had asked. You yelled, "I am not going back to the City, and neither are you!" That's when it all fell apart, am I correct?

I thought you were going back there to stay, which hasn't been disproven yet.

You did not ask.

[He inhales.]

...That day, I was fully intending to return to Paradisa. I was simply asking you to tag along with me as I retrieved my belongings from the City...

...However, following that utterly dismal exchange, I thought it best to change my mind and stay put. "Thank you for reinforcing my decision to leave," I said - do you remember?

After that, I no longer saw a good reason to come back...

...and that is why I am still there.

...

[He just puts his head face-down on the table and mumbles into it.]

Let me guess. Apologizing profusely won't fix this?

I don't know what there is to 'fix.' I am just reiterating something I have been trying to express to you many, many times. You are far too impulsive, Wright. You are emotionally high-strung and you are far too quick to jump to conclusions and make unfounded assumptions. Oftentimes, when you do, you misconstrue my better intentions and make me out to be...an almost...demonic sort of a person, even when I try to mean well. In all honesty, I'll admit that, given the type of person I once was, I cannot wholly blame you for this. But, this sort of thing happens rather constantly...

[He looks off to the side, fidgeting once again...]

It is rather difficult for me to put this into words. I'd like for you to know that I hold you in the highest esteem, Wright. However, as for the constant misconceptions...the emotional inconsistencies...they grate on me, and to be quite honest, sometimes, I... I simply cannot stand being around you...
