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'm not even a law student - I work as a juror-in-training with Teen Court, but as Mr. Edgeworth's assistant, I want to help. Somehow.

I think both of them were sent home.

Hmph. It's like the government doesn't want you guys giving us handouts, so they took away the people in charge. [Not that she wants any. She already got herself a job...and honestly, she doesn't trust a lot of people.]

[aggressiveapathy]

Good. I hate job hunting.

Well now.

[He pauses for a sip of coffee.]

Sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle, amigo. What kind of assistance are you looking for?

Might wanna try Yuri Petrov; he was a judge back home. [A beat.] If there's anything else about it besides the legal stuff that you could use another hand with, I'd like to pitch in.

[He'd been a supporter of the unsettled fund from the very beginning, after all. Edgeworth had worked hard on it, and he doesn't want to see it go to waste.]

It seems like many people are going "home" lately. Does it just happen at random?

[selfequipped]

David Alleyne was hired by Mr. Edgeworth to handle the career services aspect of things. Right now, he isn't even being paid for his job.

Considering he's an adult, you might want to set up a temporary arrangement with him, at least until you find someone trustworthy.

[There's a pause.]

He's a friend, so for the interim, he is trustworthy.

I'm sure it doesn't need to be said, but let me know if you need any assistance.

Wow, dude, don't overwork yourself.

[ hAHHAHAHAHA ]

[Oh. That's a shame. Armin had really liked Miles Edgeworth, even if they didn't see eye-to-eye on things.]

John, wasn't it? I'd spoken to Mr. Edgeworth about taking and distributing clothing donations for imPorts, so people who don't turn up in suitable clothes, or would like something a little more appropriate to their new lives here, would have somewhere to get started. I've also started putting together small bags of essentials with instructions, like shampoo and toothpaste.

Will there be office space maintained for this initiative that I could perhaps borrow some space for? It'd be helpful, I think, if everything was connected.

[ He's quiet at first, dead air buzzing over the network. Then, slowly: ]

That's a shame to hear. Miles Edgeworth was a friend of mine. [ Or something like that. ] How will this work be organized, do you know?

[mayatama]

Both Nick and Mr. Edgeworth were here...?

[And they left without even saying goodbye or even greeting her. What convenient timing.]

If you still need any help in any way, I wouldn't mind assisting. I'm not a professional lawyer or anything, but I was Nick's-- [A slight pause, as she hitches a breath.] Phoenix Wright's assistant back at home. I'm still new here, but that doesn't mean I can't help!

[xpostate]

Now, did Edgeworth actually leave all that with you, or are you just assuming the position because you saw it as empty?

[ david can't help feeling a little skeptical about it, by mandrake's own admission he can't even legally do what he's talking about. ]

There's that many Unsettled?
