tvk | 03: [Video, and I apologize for him]

[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.

Well, yeah! For starters, they look really cool.

...While many are indeed pleasing to the eye, I don't believe that was one of the deciding factors.

Hehehe...

Are you sure about that? If you look at movies and books and stuff, if they aren't using modern weapons, isn't the coolest guy always the one with the sword?

OBJECTION!

I can think of series in which a spear-user was the superior character.

.......

[After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, John dissolves into giggles.]

Hehehehehehehe... That was... hahahahaha... awesome!

Hahaha.... Okay, now I've gotta know.

Which series?

[Edgeworth recoils and breaks out into a cold sweat.]

(Curses! Has my frustration at lack of access to my collection hindered my ability to restrain my passion?!)

[The prosecutor covers his face with his free hand in embarrassment and shame.]

(Alarmingly, I seem to have backed myself into a corner thereby.)

...Egbert. Let it be understood that no one is to know of this. No one.

[He manages to get his giggles under control.]

Hehe, sure thing, Mr. Edgeworth. But you don't have to be embarrassed 'cause you like a TV show.

So what show is it? If it's that good, I totally have to see it.

Unfortunately, it has yet to begin production -- if it even will in this place, as I can find no evidence that the television studio that produced it exists in this world despite the fact that it was founded long before 2011 in my own.

Regardless, should you be so fortunate as to somehow gain access to it, it is... (Steel yourself, Miles. Proceed as though you were merely making a recommendation to someone in the show's intended target audience.) ...the Steel Samurai franchise. The first series is simply called "The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo".

[Being 13, John actually is within the show's target audience. And would probably watch it anyway.]

Sounds awesome! Sucks that they don't have it here. I'd love to see it!

It is remarkably so, yes. It was produced by a studio with a long history of producing samurai movies aimed at older audiences, and both the studio's stars and new talent lent quite a bit of pathos to the overall tale. What could not be said directly in a children's show was often implied to great effect.

It sounds great!

So are you into Samurai movies, or just that show specifically?

Samurai movies in general are of interest to me, yes.

I tend to watch a lot more action movies, but I bet they've got some cool samurai movies around here too. You should check the local video stores.

I have, in fact. Between my job and the investigation my spare time is limited, but I have been able to spare a few hours each weekend for such things.

(It is strangely relieving to discuss such a matter freely with someone.)

We should totally have a movie exchange sometime! Like we each pick out a different movie and then we watch both of them.

Perhaps so, although I don't foresee having the time to do such a thing in the immediate future.

Yeah, you seem like the kinda guy who'd be pretty busy.

But if you ever do free up some time, just let me know, okay?

I shall keep your offer in mind, Egbert.

Oh I'm looking forward to it, I already have a bunch of awesome movies in mind.
