[june taps her finger against the side of the comms device she’s been issued. if it were up to her, she might not use it at all; certainly not this soon. feels counterintuitive, sending out video of herself to a presumably large and unknown group, to someone who’s spent as much time keeping herself under the radar as she has.]

[but it’s contextually clear enough that this is what one does--one addresses one’s fellow, ah, heroes with this thing. anyway, this whole setup isn’t so different from home. she’d just begun to fall into a little routine of playing along as prison physician--no, the irony there hadn’t escaped her. this is more of the same, really. play along.]

[the communicator flickers on: june, looking relaxed, seated at some outdoor cafe.]

So. Heropa. Nice to see they opted for understated with the name.

[her tone is nothing approaching resentful, though. it’s light, with a little almost-laugh at the end, there. she ducks her head; eyes back up. full name, she reminds herself, no record here.]

Introductions? I’m Dr. June Covington. I’m… ah, new. Here. As it were.

I’m sure I’ll be meeting many of you soon. [bright smile. everything above board here; definitely didn’t scope out any sections of the town for potential test subjects on the way over.] I look forward to it.

[she shuts the feed off. was that so hard?]

[Edgeworth speaks firmly and directly.]

Good day, Doctor. A pleasure. I believe, if I am not mistaken, that we are to be housemates.

Woah, severe hotty alert. Hey there.

[Imbecile alert.]

[He recognizes the name, if for one reason only.]

Ah, you're another housemate.

[ …housemates. right. there's a delay in response.]
So we are. [a beat. then--not sarcastic, actually, if a little shy of genuine]
Lovely.

[june stares. stares. ] Tell me you didn't actually just-- [and cuts herself off; behave yourself, covington]

That's what I hear.

[He stretched his arms out, fixing his shades with his index finger.]

What, not interested? That sucks.

[hit him in the mouf]

Pleased to meet you, Dr. Covington. [said, with a little pep in his voice!] If you don't mind me asking, what's your doctorate in?

A doctor of what, if I may?

[this broadcast seems to be from the inside of a house]

One word of advise. Don't mind 'Dad'. [It's possible to hear her quotation marks] He's a stickler for rules.

[ Wait for it. ]

I never said you had to follow me.

Quite so. It shall be good to have another adult in the household.

[Booster Gold is not an adult.]

And another professional, as well. Are you a medical doctor?

It's a shame you didn't have a chance to see the place we were before, then. The City [ and there's a weird level of emphasis on the word! ] makes this one seem remarkably subtle in comparison.

Well, helloooo, roomie.

[eyup. discovering this in 3…2...]
Yes. Not… practicing here, as it turns out, but yes. What is it you do, exactly?

[more genuinely curious than cutting, though the words aren't completely without bite:]

How's your success rate with that approach?

I'm an attorney. A prosecutor.

If I might inquire, what job have you been assigned?

Then I guess it's only polite if I introduce myself. My name is Light Yagami. Like yourself, I've just barely arrived.

Not at all. [and one can basically hear her preening.] Biology. Applied genetics.

[his enthusiasm's almost matched on her end, if a little more subdued.] And you ask because…?

[god, yes, thank you, finally on to the interesting topics. a little relieved:] You may. I'm a geneticist.

Although apparently here I'm… [a pause; she doesn't have to look it up to remember, but she's making a point. it's that laughable.] …an assistant chemistry professor. Cute.

[her eyebrow raises. helpful advice, or insane person? sigh, or both.] "Dad." Would you care to elaborate?

[a long pause; probably too long. give her a moment here, norman]

Mm. Well. Evidently you didn't have to.

You'll see. It's the guy who'll show you a huge list of rules.

It's worked a few times. [Opening his mouth wide, he yawned into his hand.]

Enough that I don't plan on switching up.
