Unit 7 - [Video] The news of a loss of a voice of reason

[namedforcat]

[Gaignun looks unusually somber right now, though he'll reveal the reason in his next few words]

So it seems like Edgeworth is gone now. While this does make sorting this mess out harder, I'm sure we will be alright.

Edgeworth? Dammit...this is going to make it a lot harder.

*Though from the look on his face, there's a more personal level to his anger, too.*

[namedforcat]

It is, but there are some very talented people here. It's going to be alright Allen.

[Poor Allen...He's trying to be comforting.]

[want_a_vacation]

I know, it's just... *He sighs, shaking his head.* It's harder losing a friend when you know he's not going to be waiting for you when you get home.

[namedforcat]

I know. But it'll be better for him to be back home. I think this place was stressing him beyond what he could handle.

[want_a_vacation]

...I wonder who's going to take over what he was doing now. We can't just drop the idea of a way to discourage violence between us, especially with Ryuunosuke back, and we definitely can't give up on finding out what's really going on here, but not many other people seemed interested in stepping up to deal with that.

*He's not sure what to say at first. Of course he checked the phone listings himself, but sure enough, Edgeworth's number was gone. The news is unsettling, to say the least. Edgeworth had his respect, even if he did associate with the URTV, and he seemed to know what he wanted. Unfortunately for said URTV, this just manages to put him in an even worse mood than normal.*

And let me guess. You're graciously offering to to take his place in attempting to establish order here.

[Filtered to Margulis]

[namedforcat]

What, and give you something else to get your panties in a twist about? Lord forbid.

I'm not going to take his place. For one thing, we had very different skill sets. For another I don't nearly have the network to do so. And for third, I don't want to. I will if I have to but it has not reached that point yet. I will be an aid to the person who does step up but I am not the right person for this job.

*That first line earns a glare, Gaignun. He's already in a bad mood, even for him.*

How modest. Don't tell me even an adept politician like yourself can get tired of center stage.

*Deliberately trying to get on Gaignun's nerves? When isn't he?*

[Extra Private]

[namedforcat]

It's not that I'm tired of it, it's that I'm not who they need. Besides, even if I made a move you would throw a bitch fit to rival the Federation Council's and I would rather not deal with that unless I absolutely had to.

Any attempt at centralizing leadership at this point would just be met with skepticism, even with out your contributions from the peanut gallery.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

What are we going to do without him?

[namedforcat]

We are going to do what we have been doing. Research and building structure in our community. It's just with out him, we are going to have to pull together a bit more.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Even if he said he needed help, it always seemed like he was the only one who could really do what he was trying to do.

[namedforcat]

From the perspective, I suppose so, considering he was the only lawyer here. However we do have access to the same materials he did. So while it will be slower, it can still be done.

[She'd noticed. She wouldn't be very good at her job if she didn't keep up on her sources.]

Things will be very difficult without him.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

They will be, but I have faith in everyone here. We will pull through.

[Video]

[puppet_show]

Of course. It wouldn't be a very nice tribute to his work to just give up on everything after he left.

[She gives a small sigh.]

Still, it's going to be a real pain now. I suppose I'll just have to resign myself to sleepless nights as I tirelessly work to continue his legacy-!

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Of course not.

And don't go that far. If you work tired then the quality will go down. We have the time right now...

I will aid you as much as I can.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I see. Thank you for telling us this.

[Voice]

[namedforcat]

You're welcome. I know it's stating the obvious a bit, but the continuation of his work needs to happen smoothly.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I will do whatever I can.

[Voice]

[namedforcat]

Same. It's going to be difficult with out his skill set, but we will be fine.

[needsteaplz]

[She sighs and nods.]

We will be. Even he wouldn't want us to wallow in grief from his disappearance. It's a shame though. He was one of my frequent customers.

[video]

[namedforcat]

No he wouldn't want that. In fact I think the very idea would send him into conniptions. [The teasing is in a very fond tone though, he liked Edgeworth.]

[video]

[needsteaplz]

[She laughs softly.]

Yeah, that does sound like him alright. We're still in good hands, so I'm not too worried.

[video]

[namedforcat]

We are, and as long as we keep at it together it'll go alright. As for your dip in sales...well, I'll try and make that up as much as I can.
