You guys actually trust these people to put you into space? I bet we're all just glorified lab rats to them. [even if the idea of space is kind of cool]

[She lowers the camera long enough to take another drag of her cigarette. The usual inhale and exhale should be familiar to some. The camera pans back to her a second later and there's the sound of heels scuffling against the ground as she crushes the cigarette butt]

Before I go, there are some ImPort houses available in Maurtia Falls now if you want to get out of this sunny hell hole. Use my name for reference if you're moving. I'll get commission and you might get first dibs.

[she barely suppresses the sigh.]

I'm fine. I don't need to be babied. It's just complicated,

But if you're going to burn down the kitchen, I want a burger out of it.

[he gets a smile for that.]

[godly]

If I burn down the kitchen and you get a burger out of it, you just have to promise not to tell Edgeworth it was me who did the actual property damage.

[attractedtodarkness]

Are you kidding? He'll probably enjoy investigating it.

[she gives Light a more reassuring smile this time]

I'll see you at the house.

[godly]

All right. Have a good afternoon until then, Violet.

[Aaaand he disconnects! Maybe he'll get a more proper time to chat about the details of her past later, if she feels up to providing it.]

action?

[attractedtodarkness]

[Violet will be lounging in her room with her indie rock music playing by the time Light gets home. She's sitting on the bed and flipping through a book idly, not really paying attention to what she's reading]

action!

[godly]

[Light returns home later, a large bag of groceries in tow. After putting everything away where it goes in the kitchen, he gazes around, curious as to where his roommates are.

Specifically, Violet. Given their last chat, he feels the compulsive need to check up on her, or at the very least say hello. Maybe see if she was interested in him making dinner soon.

He makes his way to her room and knocks on the door.]

Violet? It's Light.

[attractedtodarkness]

[Violet looks up just long enough to call out:] Come in.

[Then she's back to looking at the book]

so work exploded in my face, i understand if you just want to handwave this at this point

[godly]

[He opens the door and takes a step in, grinning politely.]

I was wondering if you were hungry. Ah, what are you reading?

it's all good. I like backtagging. welcome back!

[attractedtodarkness]

I'm not hungry yet. How did you survive the shopping trip with Miles?

[she doesn't invite him to sit but there's at least another chair in the room at least]

thank you!

[godly]

[He laughs.]

Actually, I was shopping by myself. I helped Edgeworth at his office for a little; that alone was a challenge in itself. He wanted me to buy him a water filter.

[attractedtodarkness]

A water filter? What for?

[Still, it feels like a very Miles Edgeworth thing to want]

[godly]

[It is, isn't it.]

For his tea, he said. I guess the water from the tap makes it taste different; he seemed very adamant to let me know that.

[attractedtodarkness]

Did he give you specifications for the filter too?

[godly]

No, not really. We started to argue about if I'd let him pay me back for it.

[attractedtodarkness]

Typical.
