[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth flips to an empty page of his organizer.]

It's quite simple. Because I don't have Soul Perception, we shall try to discover your Meister ability through deduction and process of elimination, judging from your strengths, powers you had back home, and other circumstances.

Which means we will essentially start with an interview. Did you have any powers before BREW brought you here?

[hulky]

[had probably at least started to turned away again when Rosalia speaks, buuuut halts when she does, head/eyes returning more than the rest of him. Bruce blinks, pausing BECAUSE IT WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH ROSALIA before replying with a sincere] Thanks.

[violet_mariner]

[ He was so cute he could practically see this kid's ego just puffing its little chest out.

It's like all of these ankle biting meat shields were just crying desperately for recognition and praise for all of their hard work. ]

Yes, I'm intimately familiar with how infuriating it is to keep panless canon fodder functioning in a cohesive unit. Perhaps we can exchange stories over coffee some time.

[violet_mariner]

[ He'd long since gotten used to looks and stares, so he'd just nod. ]

Yes. I've been on patrol under Aqua for a few evenings now.

I imagine you're affiliated with the Watch, as well?

[tauborn]

I hope so. It seems like everyone else I know can cook at least a little. I kind of don't want to be the worst at it.

[Since the quickest way to a girl's heart is through her stomach.]

[violet_mariner]

[ It would be brought up, but at a later time. If she wanted to enjoy playing with sharp toys, who was he to stop her?

He does take the time to himself while she gets used to the weight of the chain and chakram to settle and familiarize himself with the feeling of such a prying exchange. A great deal of himself was laid open before the Empress, and while his loyalty saw that he was more than comfortable with letting her have access to his inner machinations, he had next to nothing to hide from her. With others, this could be a problem if he rushed things. But he did promise to get results for Condesce, so he'll work with what he has.

For now, he'd settle. Where before he'd conducted multiple trains of thought while still keeping his attention on her movements, the restlessness was dispersing to quieter focus.

The chakram itself was easily sharp enough to get lodged in the tree's trunk, but the chain would catch the trunk instead and loop around it. The good part was that it wrapped around the trunk a couple of times. The bad part was that it wasn't enough to keep it around the trunk. So while it wouldn't come back to slice something off, it would unravel and glide down to the ground if she didn't try to start swinging it again.

As it were, the chain felt malleable, something he noticed when she was testing it initially. There was potential--give--as if it were rubber. Not absolute like the ewer and chakram. ]

If you divert or pull energy to and from the chain, you should be able to extend the ewer or chakram's reach, or recall it with minimal risk of injury.

You should also be able to alter the chain's length while it's en route to make last second adjustments, but that's the extent of it. I don't feel the same sense of elasticity with the chakram.

[recitings]

I've been alright. And you? Still cooking lots?

[He laughs. He totally won't forget that little pie-baking challenge.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a laugh]] Mou, Sheena-san, that's gross!

[[note him still eating cheerfully.]]

[recitings]

Oh? How did it go?

[ninjainviolet]

It's your attack, not mine!

[Notice how she's trying not to laugh.]

[brainius]

Most certainly. No limitations here, as I set aside quite some time to permit practice, meanwhile I wasn't certain if you had other plans yourself.

[nofarplaneyet]

Oh, do you need to wrap around one? *Auron's right handed so he offers his right arm.*

[nofarplaneyet]

I'm sure I'll pick it up soon enough.

[nofarplaneyet]

It's hard for me to picture. We don't have that kind of ability in Spira. It'll be centuries if ever.

What's it like?

[nofarplaneyet]

*He hasn't been around the adult versions of you. He's used the small yelling versions like Karkat.*

Aqua's good. She'll be a good leader for your Zone.

Name's Auron. I'm the Zone Leader of the Shopping District and second-in-command of the Watch. Good to have you here. What's your name?

[nofarplaneyet]

Well, she seems to be able to hold a sword for more than ten seconds so we're making progress.

[shiromadoushi]

You're the one who said it like that~

[draculabackwards]

Oh. Perhaps I never told you but I come from an earlier century than this one.

[draculabackwards]

*If he had his wolf transformation, it would be more equal. Alas, the sword will have to do. Have at you!*

[draculabackwards]

Well...I could show you a few things about the sword, if you'd like.

[bloodinbloom]

Yep.

[Reaching towards his arm, her form glows and shifts. Without needing help, the pink ribbon curls around his arm, tying off in a small bow once it's tight enough.]

[motherofthesun]

[Oh BREW and the things you do... Alright, here she comes!]

[motherofthesun]

No, I can spare some time. No one was coming over for an instructional sparring session.

[itaidakimasu]

Because I trust you, and I feel comfortable with you.

{...and the flash of guilt across her face indicates something more.}

[brainius]

I see. [ She pauses. ] I assume a sparring session of a more advanced nature, given your experience?

[ ...and also: ] I'm ready to resume when you are.
