Hey, Edgeworth...? How are you feeling?

By the time his visitors had left, Edgeworth had abandoned all hope of getting anything productive done that night. He wandered into the kitchen shortly after they were gone, filled the kettle and set it on the stove with practiced, unthinking movements. He stood in front of the oven as it heated, his eyes on the red glow of the burner and his focus clearly elsewhere. Most of what had been said on the site itself was temporarily forgotten, pushed out of his thoughts by Wright's words, his evidence, the evening's impossible events, which kept turning themselves over in Edgeworth's mind.

This was going to take some...adjustment.



((OOC: Aaaand directly following this post, keeping vague on the contents of that one as it's still ongoing. XD))

He didn't bother to move the furniture to the side of the office. He didn't take up a seat facing the middle of the room to wait for something he knew wouldn't happen. He didn't lock Sieghard away in his crate for the sake of visitors he wasn't seriously expecting.

But neither did he leave his office. He sat at the large desk with his back to the wall and a frown on his face (the same frown that had been plastered there since that site first appeared on his laptop). Keenly aware of every sound in the apartment, he continued his obviously fruitless efforts to free his computer from the virus' clutches.



((OOC: Backdated to immediately after this post. Posting order Edgeworth -> Ten -> Phoenix? :3 Script format please, I only did this first one this way because I prefer to start proper RLs in prose. XD;;))

If anyone needs me, I'll be holed up in my office for the next few days.

...Are my locks always this insecure?

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. Just because he's forgotten about the community doesn't mean it's going to last, right? I mean, I forgot about the community once... It could be a virus, couldn't it?



( OOC Note )

ATTENTION. Here's my updated list for all the HS!AU roles next week. If you want to add in some character relations/rumors, comment here~

DAISUKE
Role: The awkward freshman. A bit clutzy but very nice, and has quite the hand for painting portraits and landscapes. Member of the art club. Usually comes to school in a rush and leaves in a rush, muttering something about "alligator pits" and "Mom" when doing so. Gets along great with Mr. Dark but no one knows their connection.
Rumors: Apparently seen jumping out of a window five stories high and landing without a scratch. Possibly comes from a family of thieves that train him every day. Someone is going around saying he's a doujinshi artist. He is oblivious to all this.

DARK
Role: Home ec teacher, specifically in cooking. Classes are about 95% female. Girls swoon when he smiles at them. Teases Daisuke a lot but they seem to get along like family.
Rumors: Gets along very well with cheerleading captain Rufus. Usually spends lunch locked in his office, and Rufus is also missing around that time. Only attends football games if the cheerleaders are there.

ARTEMIS FOWL
Role: Brainier-than-thou sophomore with the top grades and most expensive tastes in everything. Reeks of money and manages suspicious stocks. The hallways turn to ice when he enters.
Rumors: Possibly dating Fuu - he looks down and mumbles a hello when they pass in the hallway. Apparently being watched by a massive dude with a sniper rifle from the rooftops. Artemis says it's just his "butler." Was engaged in mafia business a few years ago. Broke into a Swiss bank and stole a painting.

LAZARD
Role: History teacher with a preference in government and ancient civilizations. Fairly friendly and sharp-looking in his pinstripe suits. Is Rufus' and Nabooru's guardian. Highly encourages debate in his class, which makes it a bit more fun.
Rumors: Actually Rufus' older brother, but denies their striking resemblance. Gives Mr. Dark the cold shoulder in the faculty room.

...I guess it was only a matter of time.

((OOC: Reference. He may or may not reply. I haven't decided yet. :|a))
