[prosecutory]

[Oh, there's someone. The next someone. Standing there and waiting. Obviously, Edgeworth would have to be the one to speak up.]

Yes?

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth lowers the practice sword, breathing hard. Beads of sweat have formed on his forehead and he turns toward Mickey's general direction.

He has been around Death City long enough to know that there were weirder creatures than famous talking mice, so he isn't shocked or surprised.]

I take martial arts lessons under Miss Azusa.

[Matter-of-fact, although there is a touch of pride, possibly gratitude, in his tone.]

[scribes]

((ooc; oops, also her ability is soul empathy. probably should let you know that xD))

[Ahh, well that certainly gave her more to work with. She furrowed her brow in thought, trying to think of what skills or talents she may have.]

I suppose I am a good huntress.

[Oh, and one thing she was not like to leave out, the one thing she would admit pride to:]

I have an impeccable memory. I never forget something once I've learned, seen, or heard it.

[What other things? In all honesty, Disciple could not think of much else.]

[prosecutory]

[While going through the motions, Edgeworth notices Ange from the corner of his eye. Not wanting to stop and derail his routine, he continues, making a mental note about her location and the last time they had spoken; she was skeptical, just as he had been, but he did not blame her. Her perception of Shibusen and Death City may have changed since then, or perhaps not. Edgeworth dwells on this before letting his mind slip back into concentrating on his movements, each pass and slide and thrust...

When he's done, he walks over to her, mopping his brow with a handkerchief and trying to look presentable even though he was perspiring.

After several months of training and life in Death City, Edgeworth has that down to an art.]

Good morning.

[second_star]

[ Well, he shouldn't be surprised. But, it wasn't going to get them anywhere if this kept up. ]

You gotta speak out more if you wanna find a partner. You know, crack a joke. [ Which was probably physically impossible for him, but still. ]

Yako Katsuragi | Weapon

[itaidakimasu]

{Yako is, as always, on the lookout for a new Meister. It isn't easy being a whip, no matter how easily you can Resonate with others. It's not exactly the most common of skills.

Would anyone care to try their hand? You probably won't lash yourself in the face!}

[kill_some_time]

[Looking up, he examines her with glass-like eyes before his face pulls into a mildly amused smile. It's always such unimportant details like a missing cloth, isn't it?]

It became even more optional when I gained this form.

[scatterflower]

*Chika blinked, grinning a bit as she saw someone that she recognized from the SEES table a few arrivals back.*

Hey there. How've you been?

[scatterflower]

*Chika smiles as she looks over at Yako, and heads over to her.*

Hey Katsuragi-san! Still looking for a meister?

[itaidakimasu]

Yeah. At some point I just sort of gave up on the idea of an official one, so I mostly take it mission by mission with whoever can use me well. So the more meisters who I can find to work with, the better.

[brutalityfetish]

[Winters hated this training bullshit. He sure as hell didn't stick around here to look for anybody to replace Natsu so much as it was enjoyable for him to watch all the losers around here. So many of them looked like they were falling all over themselves.

It was pathetic. Speaking of pathetic though, he noticed somebody sitting there with an injured arm. He had nothing better to do. Might as well be ask. The large man wondered over.]

What the hell happened to you?

[feelsgoodinyou]

[Recognizing the other man as somebody he had talked to - and agreed with about a few murderous notions - before, Bakura gave him a cold look as he rose to his full height. He didn't like people talking down to him, even if it was just because of him sitting and the other not.]

Oh that? [For a moment he considers whether to tell the truth or not. Lake Tahoe hadn't been his best battle but on the other hand none he felt particularly ashamed for either, so he decided that he might as well.] If you want to know it exactly, it were three yetis, an exploding snow mobile and a Weapon that fainted at the worst moment ever.

[i_am_not_eleven]

[Since Juvia has so much food on that plate (more than one person who isn't a human-shaped black hole named Katsuragi Yako can possibly finish on their own), Sai hopes she won't mind that he takes some of it.

...Well, even if she did mind, he's still taking some. Say goodbye to your pancakes, Juvia.]

[scatterflower]

*Chika nodded.

Yeah, I kinda know what you mean there. I kinda gave up on getting an official partner too. I mean, I'll try it if I find someone I really like and if we last more than a mission or two before they get sent home, but well... that hasn't really happened. Either the person turns out to be a jerk or they end up going home.

[brutalityfetish]

[Height wise, Winters would always be towering over anybody he came across. When he heard the part about a Weapon screwing it up for him, he blew out an annoyed sigh. That was the shit he kept talking about.]

So a Weapon got you injured, huh? Enough pathetic people around here that I could believe that. This place wonders why it can't win a damn war.

[entreats]

Hey.

[ The greeting is pretty casual, even if it's a little.. well, simple, not incredibly open. But Ange does know she was the first to stare, so she should probably say a little more.. ]

.. Not having cat problems anymore?

[entreats]

Hey.

[ If only Ange was half as formal as Edgeworth, but.. alas, it may not be so. So she just greets him casually, even if there's still some sort of vague distance about her own casualness. ]

Looks like you have a pretty good training routine.

[shiromadoushi]

Light being there looking for a partner was a bit of a good sign, Bakura reasoned as he adjusted his own name tag, trying not to pay his friends arch nemesis much attention.

...that was until he spotted the word "Meister" on Light's name tag and couldn't help but stare with something akin to horror.

...no wonder Ryuzaki had been in such a good mood... Crap!

[entreats]

[ At least Ange's expression seems to remain unchanging - she's a master of the pokerface by now. .. Most of the time, either way. ]

I'm sure everyone who's training here will appreciate the sight. [ It's most likely sarcasm, judging from the tone. ]

[wildest]

Oi, what kind of answer is that? [It's easy enough for Kotetsu to fret over just about anyone, but when it's someone like the Goddess of the Sun, and when she's just this darn cute... please excuse him as he indulges in pettings, and Kotetsu sits right on down in front of her, rubbing a little more at Ammy's head and scratching behind her ears.]

But don't tell me you're here to spar with anyone. How about you and me just sit here a while. Sounds like a way better idea.

[radiantwingedone]

.... [ That would probably be rather close. Duke doesn't understand jokes, let alone how to tell them.

Which is why after a moment of blank staring, he thinks he may have figured it out. ]

... was that supposed to be one?

[motherofthesun]

[Her muzzle crinkles. Oh Heavens no; just get the pink prophet to do it. Yawning widely, she gets up... and takes a moment to shake out her fur.]

[motherofthesun]

[The best answer, duh.]

[When he sits down and makes the offer, she immediately flops across his lap, still grinning. Obviously, this is the best spot for today. She pants away happily, capable of doing the sit back and relax thing in 0 to .5 seconds.]

[Action]

[takeapotatochip]

It didn't take long for Light to feel eyes on him and turn in Bakura's direction. Recognizing the white-haired male from their conversation in the park, Light had started to say something appropriate for the situation.

Looks like I'm not the only one hoping to keep Ryuzaki at bay...

The statement, however, never quite made it to the open as he blinked at the nametag Bakura wore, proclaiming himself to be a weapon. Which made...no sense at all, given their previous conversation.

"It doesn't surprise me he'd try to force things to work in his favor even if it was impossible." Light said at last, approaching. "He's been that way as long as I've known him."

[tauborn]

Wh-who?!

[He follows after Kanji, completely confused.]
