Case File 007; Text; backdated to 9/10

[takethestairs]

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Miles Edgeworth, and I had the misfortune of meeting with our "esteemed" Doctor Crane before he unleashed his research on the university. Seeing as he's still on the loose, here's what I've observed about some of his abilities. Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited, at best. If anyone can elaborate, it would be most appreciated.

1) He has a connection of some kind to crows, and in the past, has used them to spy on others and collect information. He may simply be able to communicate with them, though others have suggested shapeshifting as a possibility. From what I've observed, though, the former seems more likely.

2) He can affect people's emotions with a single touch. In my experience, he was able to instill an almost supernatural calm in me. I do not know if this is the extent of his control, or if he can influence other emotions, as well. It seems that skin to skin contact is required for this ability to take effect, but I still recommend caution, just in case I happen to be mistaken.

While I shared this information with RISE, I apologize for not sharing it with the general public earlier. I also apologize to everyone who was concerned about me and Kay Faraday. I should have announced my presence, and shared what I found out, much earlier.

Speaking of Ms Faraday, she and Franziska von Karma were sent back home earlier this month, for those who missed it. Her own murder of crows seem to be lingering around, though; if anyone is concerned about the differences between her birds and Crane's, please contact me privately.

[The message is a bit late for Kay and Franziska's friends; the would have noticed their absence by now. However, that last message isn't intended for friends, exactly]

[ Someone's going all selfie feed with his comm, and all that can be seen is Robbie's smiling face, the pole that he's leaning against, and the big, blue sky behind him. ]

Hang onto your garters, Heropa, because the Porter's taking another ride on the B-train. That's right, ladies, Robbie B is back on the Network for your viewing pleasure and continual amazement. You can try to mask your marvel, that's okay. I know you don't want to get flustered in public.

[ He gives the comm a wink, because it seems like the place for one. ]

I wish I could tell you that I missed you more than you missed me, but - look, if it wasn't for the fact that I wound up back at the completely not secret government HQ for the Porter, I wouldn't be sure that I hadn't hallucinated the whole "home" snippet. Then, I come to find out that I've been gone over a month?

[ Robbie blows an exasperated foo of air through barely open lips; the bonus is that it gets his hair out of his eyes.]

It is kind of lame. Next time, skip me like a hundred years in the future back home. I've been promised hydrogen cars for the common man and at least 15 different people have sworn to take over the world. What did I miss here? Don't tell me, there was a party for the new imPorts, and we were all invited and plied with food and promises for a better, brighter, bigger American tomorrow.

Was there a ticker tape explosion? I've always wanted a gen-u-ine ticker tape parade, and this atomic age retro glam - AARG is such a great acronym for this place - universe seems like the kind of place where I could get one. I need to work on that.

[Euphie's voice comes over the communicator, but to those of you who are familiar with her customarily cheerful, upbeat tone, she sounds... scared? There's a desperate confusion in her voice, which shakes and trembles and even wavers in volume-- mostly because her hands are shaking and moving the communicator back and forth.]

Wh... what... Suzaku? Suzaku, can you hear me? It's Euphie. I'm here, so... Where are-- where am I? The Japanese SAZ, it... [She trails off, her voice sounding now absolutely stricken.]

Lelouch, why? Why did you... what's going on? [And it goes silent with a click.]

(ooc: Euphie's back from her canon update).

[ It's been a few days since Corvo stepped out of the Porter, and he's spent them in a sort of daze, so much information in such a short amount of time. He's spent the majority of his free time locked away in his room, studying the various papers and gadgets he's been given and filing away what things he can make sense of. Productive, perhaps, but not social, and after living the life he has, the lack of contact is starting to grate on his nerves.

He's spent a good amount of time familiarizing himself with his communicator, reading posts and watching other imports interact, and in a fit of pique he opens up a window of his own, and begins to type. He's still wary of venturing outside, but if he wants to gather any useful information on his new home, he'll have to start somewhere. If nothing else, it will be a learning experience. ]

My apologies for not using video. It wouldn't be very useful for communication, at this point.

[ Not until he finds either a translator (unlikely) or someone he can sign with (even more unlikely). ]

It's been a few days since my... is arrival an accurate term? It feels too positive.

But I digress.

Do any of you have any suggestions for settling in? I haven't had the time yet to wander on my own, and the information I was given was sorely lacking.

[SUP IMPORTS. It's been awhile, hasn't it. Four months, he realizes as his communicator loads up the queue of his own posts in looking for the "new post" option. Not since he came back to disaster central after the Flare outbreak and dragon attack.

If he were the sort to appreciate such things, he might have noted an irony in the fact that he's finally posting again soon after yet another crisis.]

...Things have been pretty tough lately. It can get pretty exhausting to deal with, so I was thinking....it might be nice if we talked about stuff we've liked about being here, or moments that stood out as happy. Or, if you're new or can't think of anything, something you wanna do while you're here.

[A beat, and then he adds:]

Figuring out how to go home totally doesn't count as an answer, by the way. 'Cause the whole idea is, if you see something on here that maybe you'd wanna do, you guys could....I dunno, figure something out? It's always more fun to do stuff with your friends, yeah?

As for me, I've met a lot of great people here. Aaaand, I guess I still really wanna check out this world's version of Disneyland.
