cantacquityou: (how can i gay up my office today)

...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:

It seems better, for you, if I leave you alone like you want. I don't ever want to upset you again--I just want to do what makes you happy.

I guess I just...


[barely audible]
...miss you.

[Not that that is okay.]

I think it's the best way to keep myself from worrying about the things you say so much. At least until I can figure out a better way, that is. I don't want to trouble you anymore.

[He's incredibly serious about this, and all business.]

Sorry for bothering you about shawarma. I really did think you were the best person to ask, and I appreciate the help.

[His mind is blazing, all flame and screaming "you broke my heart, can't you see that?" Desperately, he fights to keep his tone calm and devoid of any of that.]

I always thought "asking someone you know will be educated on a certain topic" was a form of research. In any case, I do remember what you're talking about. This is different.

I think you've always struck me as the kind of person who does say the opposite of what you want. I mean... "get out of my office" couldn't have really meant that, or you'd have had Gumshoe or somebody throw me out by force.

So basically you're telling me that one of my major reasons for continuing to try with you in the past--being that I thought you were lying when you said you wanted me to go away--is full of crap and you really did want me to go away?

How comforting. Thanks a lot.

I was referring to the same thing you were referring to.

[Sigh. This is one reason why he doesn't want to talk to Edgeworth anymore--these constant arguments, so unnecessary now that there's no courtroom to have them in, and the persistent lack of listening... He plunks his forehead against the journal and groans. headdesk]






Let's just not do this anymore.

This constant hurting each other, back and forth like we always do. I'm tired of it and I'm sure you are, too. I don't think it's possible for both of us to be happy at the same time.

Date: 2012-06-12 05:16 am (UTC)From: [personal profile] takethat
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (unreadable)
...well, we agree on something.

[A pause; he has to drag the words out of himself]

Then it seems like the only viable course of action is to stop spending time with each other, unless of course you have a better suggestion.

Date: 2012-06-12 05:38 am (UTC)From: [personal profile] takethat
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (despairing)
...then I guess that's settled.

Date: 2012-06-13 05:15 am (UTC)From: [personal profile] takethat
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (crying)
[The slightest, strangled little noise erupts from his mouth before he can stop it, and he clenches his teeth to keep it from happening again. Bad enough he's crying on the other side of that journal; Edgeworth doesn't need to know it.

And he doesn't know what he should do. Every figurative step he takes toward Edgeworth hurts, but he's never let those stings and bruises stop him in the past; why is it that he's considering doing so now?

Isn't that the right thing to do, though? Edgeworth's happiness is the most important matter to consider here; if Phoenix can do nothing else for him--if he can't hold him and dote on him and spend all his time with him like he'd like to--then at least he can be sure that his parting decision makes Edgeworth happy. Although the mixed messages ("I can't stand being with you," wasn't it, just some weeks before all this mess of "I like having you around"?) are making it impossible to tell what he really should do.

And so, he makes no decision. He just sits there, wishing Edgeworth would just materialize and hug him again like he did that night in the bar; he sits silently except for his pained outcry and perhaps a few shaky breaths, biting his lip as hard as he can to try to stop the tears from falling.

It seems to be "all over," after all.]

Date: 2012-06-13 06:14 am (UTC)From: [personal profile] takethat
takethat: Phoenix in a t-shirt, eyes downcast. (sad...)
[He pulls in a few deep breaths to still his voice, sure that it's going to tremble when he talks again; it does, despite his efforts.]

If... that's what you want.

I just want to do what you want.

[There's so much more he'd like to say here, but the certainty that it would make Edgeworth run far away and never come back to him keeps him from it.

"There is something you could do."

"I don't have to think about it; I never want to leave you, not really."

"I asked you for other suggestions. Why didn't you offer anything if you really don't want me to stop talking to you?"

But he voices none of these as he sits, crumpling a page of the journal in his fist out of nerves, careful not to tear it out even so. Really, there's very little he feels safe saying, except one thing, laden with all the burdensome emotions weighing on his heart and yet almost silly in its innocence.]





I still really like you, Miles.

Ah... Miles...

[Were Edgeworth there in person, he would likely pick up on the flash of hope glimmering for a moment there in Phoenix's eyes as he glances at the journal, disbelieving what he's hearing.

He'd all but forgotten ever saying that to Edgeworth, but the repetition of his own words jars his memory. And briefly, he has to wonder if Edgeworth's meaning behind those words is the same as his own, unknowingly, was when he spoke them in the past.

The urge now to dissolve into tears and beg Edgeworth to just forget all of this ever happened is strong. It's some testament to his own self-improvement, or perhaps his surprise, that he doesn't do either of those things.]





Maybe we could... just... maybe there's a better way to solve this... I don't want to stop talking to you. I really don't.

Date: 2012-06-13 07:38 am (UTC)From: [personal profile] takethat
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (shouting!)
[And, as is so terribly common now, Phoenix feels as though he might as well have been stabbed in the heart by Edgeworth's words. The hope once again gone and the pain returning in full force after having salt poured on that emotional wound, he slams his fist against the journal.]

Damn you, Miles! Do you get off on building me up just to destroy me again like that? You know I care about you--stop playing with my emotions and make up your mind, please!

[At this point, he doesn't care how much he's giving away by that request, so desperate is he for Edgeworth to understand something of all this... ...nor is he really thinking of what he says before he spits it out.]
