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:

Maybe Larry would let me give these two middle names! ...we didn't even discuss last names.

I had it in mind to ask about that, actually.

[A low chuckle.]

First, I'd like to suggest that under no circumstances should you follow suit and use both surnames.

[He thinks about that for a moment, and then gives Edgeworth a sly, mischievous little smirk.]

What? You don't want your nieces to be the Wright-Butz girls?

...Or the 'Butz-Wrights'...for your posterior's emancipation.

Maybe it's just a joint custody thing. Sage is pretty much the spitting image of Larry anyway. Maybe they're just Sage Butz and Olive Wright. I'd be cool with that.

...beats "Edgeworth-Ashkevron" anyway...

Well, at least my daughter shall boast two, very distinguished surnames...

Don't you think it's time we stop bothering you, now?

[An abrupt subject change, but there's a sinking in the pit of Phoenix's stomach with all this talk and he's not enjoying it.]

There is no bother at all. [He faces Olive in his arm.] Isn't that right, my dear? Tell your father there that you want to spend more time with Uncle Miles, will you?

[Noting attention being placed on someone else, Little Miss Selfish Vidia makes as if to lean in and bite Olive, which Edgeworth intercepts.]

Be nice to sissy!

[Before Phoenix can answer Edgeworth or say a word about Olive's near-biting experience, Sage has interrupted with her own commandment for Vidia.

She waves her arms around, scrambling for Phoenix to put her down.]

No ma'am! I'm not letting you get into a fight tonight.

[Vidia, whose speech isn't quite as developed, simply stares and blinks. She points at Sage and exclaims:]

Baby!

No!

[Clearly this is a deeply scarring insult! Sage begins flailing harder, trying to get out of Phoenix's grasp. In the meantime, Olive--who was really just enjoying cuddling with Edgeworth a few minutes before--whimpers and begins to cry.

Oh the turmoil of being a toddler!]

...more crying...

[Vidia just blinks at all the nonsense. While Edgeworth attempts to soothe them both.]

Now, there...no crying. You are big girls. Big girls don't cry...

M-maybe I should take Olive now... I think Vidia is a little jealous...

[Again he hoists Sage (who is clearly glaring daggers at Vidia) into one arm and holds out the other for Olive. He did this once and by gosh he can do it again!]

[Edgeworth gives her a little wave as she makes her departure from his embrace]

Bye-bye, Little One...

[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?

...What do you mean?

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.

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...?

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.

[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.]

[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.
