Good afternoon, fellow imPorts. It is with considerable regret that I must inform you today that Miles Edgeworth, caretaker of the fund for Unsettled imPorts, has returned home recently. I have been holding off on making this announcement for as long as possible in the hopes that it would not be necessary, however it seems as if this is truly the case.
I am sure that those who were close to Mr. Edgeworth were already aware, however given his business, this is a matter that concerns more than just his close personal relations.
For those of you who are unaware, part of Mr. Edgeworth's business was managing a non-profit fund for Unsettled imPorts so that those who were wary of registering-- particularly children and teenagers with little other means of supporting themselves-- might have some security, as well as helping to find jobs for such imPorts.
Mr. Edgeworth left very clear instructions that his business was to be transferred to a Mr. Phoenix Wright in the event of his departure; however, it seems that he too has either gone missing or returned home. In any case, I have not been able to locate him.
The initiative, however, was sound. I would like to reassure both those who donated to the fund and those Unsettled imPorts who were depending upon it that the initiative will continue, in keeping with the spirit of Mr. Edgeworth's hard work. However, I cannot manage it entirely on my own. Being seventeen and only a first year law student, I am neither considered a legal adult in this world nor familiar enough with the nitty gritty legal details that must be taken care of in the day-to-day. I therefore humbly request the help of any like-minded individual who would be willing to assist. The groundwork has all been done by Mr. Edgeworth, it should not be too difficult a task. My name is John Mandrake, and you can reach me at this communicator ID at any time.
I've cleared my schedule, so I'll be around for some time today if anyone wishes to ask any questions.

I will be fine. Though your concern is appreciated. Believe me, I have worked longer hours.

As a first year law student?

[He manages to successfully keep most of the smugness out of his voice. Still, it's a Big Deal even in his own world.]

But I guess that doesn't mean crap here, huh?
no subject
Indeed it does not. They tried to enroll me in school upon my arrival here, if you can believe such a thing.
no subject
[ whoops a little sarcastic. ]
They give you superpowers, too?
no subject
[He says it mildly-- matter-of-factly, even. As if he's not at all bothered by the sarcasm. It does irritate him, of course, but he wouldn't have climbed as high as he did if he couldn't put up with people talking smack. Back home, he'd be perfectly content to cheerfully talk smack right back to someone like Stiles, who he perceives as having no status, no power, no connections and therefore no use that he can see. Someone lower on the food chain than himself. But this place has put them all on even footing. Back to where he started all those years ago. A nothing. A nobody. So he smiles and makes nice.]
Ah... no. Not quite. I believe those who already have some amount of power back in their own worlds are not granted extra abilities.
no subject
[ in addition to being a young democrat or whatever. intense intelligence and a bunch of skills. ]
Okay, I've decided. I'm gonna keep donating.
no subject
["I've been trained, it's a requirement." That sounds like a much nicer way of putting it than "Only magicians can have a say in the running of the country." Makes it sound like learning French or Chinese. The reality is, he's had enough people call him out on the bullshit system of inequality rampant in his world and it makes him uncomfortable. What do they expect him to do about it, exactly? That's just the way his world is. Their worlds are different, they don't understand. So now he's prepared ways to talk around it.]
... Thank you, you're most kind. [The smile he gives Stiles is practiced.]
no subject
[ he's not really buying the whole polite and proper thing, but he dismisses it as britishness rather than manipulation. ]
[ it's not like he donates significantly anyway, but he still feels like he should know where his money's going. mandrake seems competent enough to handle it. ]
So magic, huh? Is that like, Druidic?
no subject
Much, much older. The first recorded instances of magic in my world date back to ancient times-- some five thousand years ago. I'm not sure if you'd have an equivalent... I've yet to meet anyone here from a world with a similar system.

...But then again, proooobably the government wouldn't be too supportive of something like this, since it kind of undermines their authority.
