Aright,yo edgy uber needs to know my dude,how much do you get paid?and Potty prof,do you need some ice cream? (Sorrynotsorry-)

“Um... sorry, I don’t think that’s particularly appropriate to discuss with strangers. Someone would get on my case, I’m sure. I can assure you though, working in a backroom solving only the cases no one else wants isn’t exactly the big bucks.”

“For... what purpose would I want or need ice cream? Are you saying there’s some sort of clue related to ice cream in one of my cases that I’m overlooking? Or are you, a stranger I’ve never met before, casually offering me ice cream and expecting me to blindly dig in without a second thought? Forgive me if I happen to decline. I’ve a bit of an issue with trusting people, you see.”

What does Lucy Baker mean to you? Do you want to have a romantic relationship with her?

“Well, that’s some sort of question to ask out of the blue.”

“We’re coworkers. I should think it would be rather inappropriate for us to have a relationship of that sort, don’t you?”

“That said…”

“I can’t deny that she holds a deeper meanng to me than many of my other coworkers. Perhaps it’s the betrayals, or perhaps it’s the fact that we work in such close proximity. Everybody tends to keep me at arm’s length these days, you know. That’s… how I ended up here. That said, Lucy never minded. And I do appreciate that a great deal. She’s certainly one of a kind.”

“She’s… useful.”

“Has a better head on her shoulders than most of those dullards. Namely Justin, though he’s not exactly using his head for much of anything nowadays. I suspect it’s only so long before he loses it… bah. In any case, I do appreciate her sharp wit. Saves me the trouble of having to explain everything all the time for my… slower half.”

Placid Prof, when you were tied up in Forbodium, it seemed like you were smiling. What gives?

“I just don’t like to panic under pressure if I can help it.”

“It’s not like it was a desirable situation I was in, but it wouldn’t help anyone if I let myself freak out. There was already enough tension running in that room.”

“In addition, there was always the possibility of my other half showing up. And given our surroundings, I wanted to do all I could to prevent that from happening. That meant self-control.”

[pottyandplacid]

To the both of you: Do you prefer cinnamon or butterscotch? And if you choose one over the other, would you turn up your nose up if you saw the other on your plate?

“That’s a bit of a random question.”

“I don’t imagine either would be particularly good by itself. But both of them have a variety of uses in recipes, so I don’t see any reason to turn my nose up at either of them.”

“Butterscotch.”

“Cinnamon is for children.”

Potty Prof I have a puzzle for you.

“That’s great, because I know where you can PUT that stupid-!”

“Please excuse him. I’ll solve it if you’d like.”

How many Edgeworths does it take to change a lightbulb? …Two. One to replace the lightbulb, and then the other to suddenly update the autopsy report.

“What’s this I hear about you losing a trial to some kid with demon hair?”

[clippedquills]

“… a minor setback.” A cough. “What brings you here, old friend? Have you come to simply confirm such a trite matter?”

[pottyandplacid]

“Personally, I’m just shocked to hear you’re able to prosecute again. The court system in this country certainly is a mess, isn’t it? Taking your head off the chopping block because they’re short on prosecutors...”

“Hello, Simon.”

“It’s been awhile.”

[simonochrome]

“Hmph. I have to presume it was for a good reason why you’ve disappeared out of the blue like that,” they scoffed, letting a good-nature smile slip upon their features, though hints of sleep still lingered in their eyes.

“How are you faring, old friend?”

[pottyandplacid]

“Can’t you do something about that insomnia of yours? Those bags under your eyes are getting worse every day...”, Alfendi mocked, though he smiled in earnest as he did.

“I don’t think I’m legally allowed to mention where I’ve been all this time, or what I’ve been doing, but... in any case, it’s over now. I never thought I’d be so glad a case was over and done with. That stupid Mystery Room is more welcoming than ever.”

// Potty is such a sarcastic person. He speaks in complex wording not because he wants to be formal, but to insult whoever he’s talking down to. What a jerk. 

I love him.

[pottyandplacid]

// Simon and Al can share a “remember that time we got wrongly accused of murder” moment.
