03: [Video, and I apologize for him]

[truthsnomiracle]

[Hello, Prospero! This is a very disapproving and irritated Edgeworth with a display shelf full of various polearms behind him.]

In light of the results of a certain recent expedition, the general quality of the armaments I've observed among those who favor those that aren't firearms, and the length of the case thus far, I've been forced to conclude that either your collective observational skills could be reproduced by someone wearing headphones and a blindfold or your collective problem-solving skills are on par with those of cartoon villains.

As it seems that I must do your work for you, I spent today seeking out an arms dealer. As it only took me this long to discover this "Felix's Finds" which serves as the closest thing available, I would imagine that it would take someone unused to investigation roughly a week. Given that the kidnappings began in late June and no small number of us contend with murderous beings of an improbable nature on a regular basis, that the existence of this collector's shop isn't common knowledge begs explanation -- even should that explanation prove to further undermine my faith in humanity.

I unfortunately feel it necessary to clarify that he cannot afford to be open about his efforts to cater to our needs, and that his understanding of the situation is limited at best. As such, discretion is necessary in our dealings with him.

Both of these things, in addition to irritation with seeing people employ metal pipes and assorted sports equipment as weapons.

I'd rather them use metal pipes than a sharpened weapon with no training.

[He sighs and rolls his shoulder stiffly-- he's at work, by the way, so there's a lot of noise and motion behind him. He also looks oh so very fabulous.]

Might be more beneficial to get the novices together for some kind of weapons training. Shooting range, for those who like ranged weapons.

Indeed, Mr. Ryudo proposed something similar, and said that he would speak to 'his teacher' about the possibility of organizing lessons. Perhaps you should speak with either of them if you can contribute to such an effort.

Can't say I have much time to spare on a 6 day work week.

[He's come to gather that working 5 days a week is "normal", and that most consider him a "workaholic". :T]

A pity, then. Perhaps another swordsman will be able to offer his services.

[If Edgeworth thinks a six-day work week is weird, it doesn't show.]

Seems to be plenty of them. One of 'em will be able to, I'm sure.

Indeed, whoever ultimately rises to the task of organizing the lessons will undoubtedly make an open call.

...Maybe you should do it, then, seeing as you're gathering all this kind of information anyway.

If it becomes necessary for me to do this, I shall, but I wish to focus my efforts elsewhere unless necessary.
