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:

[He lets go his grip on Edgeworth and crosses his arms over his chest. He is GOING TO STAND HERE and NOT FALL, dammit, so Edgeworth can stop fussing over him. Like that's going to happen.]

...

[He tries his darnedest to match that scowl.]

What? I'm doing it. See?

[He is standing, but walking is another matter he'd rather not address again just yet.]

And for what reason are you looking at me like that?

Because that's how you're looking at me.

...

I am looking at you as I normally do.

I know. Look at my face. This is how you look at me ninety-nine per cent of the time.

...That's just how my face looks.

[Sigh]

You could be one of those royal guards. It's impossible to get you to smile.

[Phoenix lost the scowl-off spectacularly.]

Nonsense. I smile quite often.

You think so? Cute. I don't know if I've ever really seen you smile.

That is because you're never there.

You just need me to teach by example. Like so.

[He stumbles over to Edgeworth (luckily it's only a few steps) and gives him a swift hug with a big grin on his face.]

...

What was that supposed to do?

...show you that hugging and smiling at someone is normal and good and not going to hurt you.

...I knew that. ...?

[SIGH, AGAIN]

I've lost the battle, but I'll win the war. ...I'll see you smile someday.

I smiled when you came out of the coma... [I think...]

You did...?

[That... makes his stomach do weird things. Primarily because if that happened, he's forgotten it (which is reasonable, if it happened right after he woke up), but he would very much like to remember something like that.

Because it's -sweet-... not that he's consciously thinking that just yet.]

I most certainly did smile. [sometime that day...]

That was... a rough day... I'm sorry. I guess I forgot. [Cue kicking himself mentally. An Edgeworth smile is like a meteor shower. Who knows when he'll have another chance to see it?]

...You would not have seen it. Either way, I was elated.

[All that for "you wouldn't have seen it"? ~~ahlgdkfjghkh~~]

...okay... well, I...

[...have no idea what to say to that.]

...I'm still standing, huh?
