they just reach up and slip the hood off, turning to give her a Look as they fold their arms over their chest. without the hood, she can see that their eyes are still glowing purple and there's a hollow sort of darkness around the eye sockets, like deep-set shadows that give them an almost skeletal appearance. there's wisps of shadows coming from their eyes and thick veins that seem to bulge slightly, skin crackling in places. there's the claws, of course, and with the way their mouth is set it's evidence there are fangs inside as well.
but they don't say anything and seem to be waiting to see what she says.]
Medb didn't expect it'd be that easy? She's honestly surprised that all it took was asking because she thought he'd ask her to do something before doing so.
She likes the aesthetic enough. It's a little nostalgic in a way. ]
You're just as handsome as I thought you would be.♡
[ Yeah. Edgeworth doesn't deserve to have Medb aligned with her. It's time to make 50 Wendy Oldbag references now. ]
[I HATE YOU SO MUCH. EVERY TIME ITS THE HOVERTEXT, ARA, AND EVERY TIME I MISS IT.
anyway yeah so this was a terrible combination, and when she says that he looks a little startled like he can't quite fathom what the hell it is people see in him. also, that's terrifying.]
I can assure you that's not really the point here. [he assumes medb has other questions but he also thought maybe she'd get to her point if they didn't go in circles about his face for a bit.]
[the choice was made and here we are!! and it truly is unfortunate that she can see his face now because he continues to look mildly perturbed.]
Miss Medb, I'm painfully aware that you're indulging plenty without me being involved. [the worst thing miles edgeworth has experienced is being notified any time of the greeds have fucked anyone on this base.]
She laughs and isn't ashamed or embarrassed at all. ]
I still wouldn't mind indulging with you someday. It doesn't have to be how I usually like do it, you know. I did want to ask, do you Avatars also experience the effects that we do?
She wants to know how the Avatars function better. It's her "research on a topic she knows little of and research as much as she can" but not deliver a report. ]
Clever. [he almost sounds like he means it. he's thinking ahead, trying to find a way to avoid answering, but without his hood it's actually harder to avoid. it's why medb gets to see a memory that he's not sure explains anything at all.]
[it sure is funny and terrible both. for me, not for him. for him it's just terrible.]
This has been one of the most painful experiences of my life. [dryly. oh so dryly.] But I suppose it's to be expected with so many of you and so few hours.
I supposed Sasazuka isn't entirely useless. [but this is said in a way that suggests he's impressed with the idea.]
Your phones are capable of text during those hours, so it would make sense to disperse the information and keep everyone focused. Though how will you ensure that the information is actually shared?
It'd be wasteful to text everyone at once when we only have a limited amount, so if the people investigating declare who they're going to choose to text, those people can be looked to for updates.
[ If they're named in public, it's hard to avoid. ]
Another application of greed for you. Keep that to yourself.
[:unamused:]
You've been speaking to him then. That would actually work rather well so long as the ones at the scene of the crime remember to do the updates themselves.
You don't think they should earn it? [so even if he believes takeru had a great idea he wants to see it in action first before he congratulates his brainblast. however i, ty, and the rest of the mod team are proud of you two.]
It's a better solution than how things have previously gone. While it's likely I won't be in attendance next week should something occur, I'll be able to watch from the top floor.
I'm glad we agree. [so that is to say that medb also has to earn it. i believe in her.
regardless, there's a nod.]
That's correct. It's separated by several floors between us and you. But we do have ways of keeping an eye on the base and watching trials from up there.

[and so when medb arrives she'll find that greed's already there, hands behind their back and head tilted up to look at the ceiling briefly.]
Good evening, Miss Medb.

[ Only croissant discourse.
And even if they still keep voting for the wrong person. ]
It's a topic of discussion. I'm sure you've seen some of it.
no subject
I've heard a bit, yes. And what are your thoughts?
no subject
[ Bread? Croissant? Brassant? Only the mods and that murder dm group know. ]
I think Takeru has a good point about trying to use the phones when people are away investigating so there's a steadier flow of things to discuss.
[ Just from an organization standpoint, Medb thinks it's good. ]

It doesn't hurt to praise someone, you know.
[ But she will keep it to herself because every time she tries to flirt with Takeru, it makes her question his everything. ]
We'll just have to see how it goes the first time and adjust from there if it doesn't pan out.
[ She won't deny that people could just get too focused on investigation and forget. ]

i love you and the rest of the mods so much while francy and i cried over the realization that phones exist. ]
The top floor? [ That visibly piques her interest. ] Is that where you and the Avatars reside?

The other Avatars have to beat you back from trying to attend every trial, don't they.
