[ Accidental Video ]

[ You would figure by now, somebody would notice how easy it was to accidentally set these phones off and make them start recording and maybe, you know, fix them. Because it's happened again. But this time it's not some secret affair or helpless person experiencing shadows for the first time. What you see unfolding on the screen looks like a teenager trying to pick a fight with kids a little younger than himself. Wow, what? That hardly seems fair! ]

The hell do you punks think you're doing? Get out of here! Scram!

[ ...Yet amazingly, all it took was a few swings and punches at the air to scare the kids away. Of course, doing so reveals another child curled up on the ground, hugging a plush bunny to her chest. Of course, the big and scary teenager makes his way over to her, but with a much different aura about him this time. He actually kneels down to her level and gives her head a pat. ]

You okay, kid? ...Damn it, they really did a number on him, didn't they? Here, lemme see him.

[ Yes, he just whipped out some thread and a needle. And he is totally sewing the bunny back up like nobody's business. Obviously he must be a pro at this. Eventually he's done and hands it back to the kid who gives her thanks and scampers off. ]

Geez, kids can be so cruel. Ain't fair, being ganged up on like that. Now where did I put-- shit!

[ Yeah, he may have just realized the phone someone got knocked out of his pocket and is totally recording everything. Panic mode is go!]

Shit, shit, shit! How do you stop this thi--

[ Oh, looks like he finally got it! Click. Of course, it's not like that's going to keep anyone from calling him back or anything. ]

[ Action ]

[ Later on, you might find Kanji wandering about the city. Doesn't look like he's actually doing anything in particular, but if you hadn't seen his earlier accidental video, he might look like the type that's looking for trouble. I mean, those piercings and that scar don't exactly give the best first impressions. Feel like bothering him? ]

Wow, that's... [ A pause. ] ...quite a skill you have there.

( Voice )

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

You didn't see anything, okay?

[ Because obviously denying it happened will make it go away. ]

[grapplings.livejournal.com]

Ummm, why? [ Abel sounds confused. ] I wish I could sew that fast.

[action]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

[Rather than bother him per-se, a woman almost a foot shorter than Kanji will be totally oblivious to her surroundings (thank you, headphones) and just kinda... walk into him, if he doesn't do the dodging himself. There is no way this wouldn't send her rear-first to the ground.]

[action]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ Yeeeah, probably doesn't help that he wasn't really paying too much attention himself. But that thud was pretty noticeable, even if it didn't really hurt him any. ]

T'ch. Watch where you're going je--

[ ...Oh, it's a lady. Well, there's kind of conflicting emotions already. His mama raised him well enough, but it's not like he's exactly had the best track record interacting with the female gender these last few years. ]

I mean, uh. You... okay?

[ Yeah, make things twice as awkward, Kanji. ]

[action]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Oof... Yeah, just startled. Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.

[And she chooses now to look up and notice who that brick wall she ran into was. The nice new kid who seemed embarrassed at, well, actually being a nice kid maybe? Probably best not to bring that up and she does have a pretty great poker face, so she'll just get up and dust herself off a bit, offering him a small smile.]

Don't think I've seen you around before, come to think of it.

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

You're like that frog prince, but smaller. Hmm... I wonder just how alike you are~...

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

...Frog prince? The hell's that supposed to mean?

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

It's a pet name. I'll think of one for you eventually.

[Today is unusually warm for early December, so that new long coat Edgeworth bought the other day is sitting in his hotel room in favor of his suit alone. Furthermore, he's run into some walls in his early investigations and that job application is still being processed, so right now he's taking a break by window-shopping at a music store. More specifically, the prosecutor is taking notes about a display of flutes.]

[Action]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ Kanji just so happened to be passing by the store when something caught his eye. It was more so the suit than the man in question, oddly enough. An expertly sewn burgundy suit, obviously made of the finest materials available. And that cravat... Just who was this guy? He wouldn't think anyone would just casually walk around in such expensive attire, so he was probably easily impressed. More so considering how easy it was for the untrained eye to mistake that burgundy with a darker shade of pink. Feel free to catch the boy awkwardly staring at him. ]

[Action]

[truthsnomiracle]

[And catch he does. Why an apparent punk would be staring at him with something that looked more like awe than avarice clearly puzzles this grey-haired man. Rather than showing vulnerability for long, however, Edgeworth pockets his pen and organizer, turns to the teenager, and crosses his arms, tapping a finger on one of them impatiently.]

Can I help you?

[Video]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

[He totally aww'd at the video. Of course he's going to reply fearlessly.]

Welcome to the city. I'm sorry your welcome wasn't better.

[Video]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ Welp. This was kind of unavoidable, wasn't it? Doesn't make him feel any better about it. ]

...Thanks, I think. Guess there's punks like that everywhere, huh?

[Video]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately they seem to be a universal constant.

[Voice]

[voidquesting.livejournal.com]

[Just derisive laughter for now.]

[Voice]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

The hell are you laughing about, asshole!?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ A huge blonde man is looking down on you as you cross the street. Literally, not condescending. ]

.... Pardon me. [ He'll rumble. ]

Did you drop your phone earlier?

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ What is with this place and it's huge blonde men? He could feel easily intimidated, and he sort of does by instinct. ]

Uh, yeah. You saw that too? Geez, did the entire friggin' city see that?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

...That's remarkably kind of you.

[video]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ He's actually surprised he hasn't thrown this thing out of rage yet. This pretty much confirms it, everyone in the general area saw it. Really no use hiding it now. Swallow your pride, Kanji. ]

It was nothing. Those punks deserved getting the life scared out of them.

[Festina's got a job in a petshop. She has only one marketable area of expertise and that is animals, so it sort of fell into place for her. Except that her face puts off customers, so the owner's sent her out to walk the puppies. They are the cutest. It is them. You like cute things, right Kanji? Everyone likes cute things.

Too bad if you don't, because they are not fully trained yet and both of them jump up at you, yapping excitedly. Luckily they are both small Shi-Tzu/Bichon Frises mixes so they are tiny and will do you no harm. Not that anything could harm a big tough guy such as you.]

[action]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ You know, this whole forced machismo thing is really going to be a pain in the ass here if this kind of stuff keeps up. First the whole KANJI IS SECRETLY A NICE GUY thing gets revealed to stupid technology, and now there are two extremely cute puppies jumping up his legs. He is almost drowning in the cute. There is no escape. He will die a horribly cute death. ]

Whoa, whoa. Calm down. I ain't got any treats.

[ Not gonna stop him from petting them though. All the pets and ear scratchings and everything. Ah, wait. Those collars... So it's obvious they must have an owner, sorta. He'll trace them back Festina and, oddly enough, tilt his head just like a questioning puppy would. ]

They yours?

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

[Whoa! That guy was kinda scary-looking at first, but he ended up protecting that little kid! And he even fixed the kid's doll at lightning speed.

Well, that certainly gained all of Madoka's approval. Her eyes are practically sparkling with admiration when she places a video call.]

That's so cool! It's like you're a hero!

video.

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

A... hero?

[ Whoa, that's dangerous ground there Madoka! He really doesn't need somebody actually encouraging his bad habits! ...Even if they technically lead to awesome cool good things. Plus, it's not like he needs the go. ]

Guess I never thought about it that way before.
