Case File 001; Audio
[Clears his throat. This is going to be a difficult post to make]
Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth speaking.
[The young man’s voice is clear, but stiff, with a harsh edge to it that hints at the anger bubbling underneath his skin. He represses this rage, attempting to remain composed and professional]
Earlier I received a tip from a confidential source- [Sorry Kay, he's not going to drag you out in the open, it’s too risky] - regarding a potential lead in the Lunatic case.
[A deep breath as he steels himself. This is a damning accusation to make and he knows it, and there’s no going back if he’s wrong]
Yuri Petrov, imPort advertising manager, has two files, with two different sets of abilities… and two different aliases. According to one, he’s been graced with an immunity to alcohol, but according to other? Pyrokinesis, with the ability to control and manipulate blue-green flames, specifically. Sound familiar? [A note of bitterness seeps into his tone, but he moves on quickly] And, if that’s not enough to convince you, there’s his alias, printed right on the file. Lunatic.
[A short pause follows, just enough to let the information sink in for any potential listeners.]
Unfortunately, my source only caught a mere glimpse of the files, but when I tried to confirm the discrepancy with Petrov, he was nowhere to be found. And, as much as I wish we had time to gather more information, we cannot afford to wait any longer for a response! If anyone listening has further information regarding Petrov, Lunatic, or their current whereabouts, I implore you to share anything and everything you know. With Lunatic on the move, it could mean the difference between life... and death.
[With that, he ends his little speech, and waits for a response from his fellow imPorts]
[OOC: And here’s the grand IC reveal! This post isn't strictly for conversations with Edgeworth. Feel free to talk to other characters, threadjack, and make IC plans here. Edit: And to clarify, this post takes place in the evening!]

She hopes.
Her voice is a little more subdued than usual. ]
We've got to take him out.
voice
That much is obvious. [There's that harsh edge again, though even he's not sure if it's directed at Jones, or Petrov, or just the world at large. He takes another breath] But the question is, how. We can't charge in recklessly-
[Shakes his head, not that anyone can see it]
But I'm getting ahead of myself. First we need to actually find Petrov, and confirm what evidence we do have.

[He swallows, realizing he's started off on the wrong foot and it's awkward, so he starts over.]
Sorry, I... don't know anything about this. I've only been here a few weeks, and I've never heard of the guy. But I'd like to offer my strength, if there's anything I can do. I can identify people by scent, if I've met them before, and I can fight, so... you or anybody else, if you think you need more firepower, I'm there.
voice
[Strange. Unusual. Bizarre. And yet...]
...could actually be quite useful. However, don't make plans for a brawl just yet - we need to find him, first. Could you tell me more about your other talents? Regarding identification, I mean.

That's the first thought that runs through his head, and then runs on loop over and over and over. No no no no no no. It can't be. This can't be true. This can't be happening. Yuri was a judge, high-ranked in the Justice Department. (Maverick was the CEO) He's always tried to help them, even here. (And hadn't Maverick always seemed to have the best interests of the city, the Heroes, Barnaby at heart?) He couldn't be. He wouldn't have lied to all of them like this, for all this time. (Maverick did for a lot longer) Immediately, he pulls up the contact list on his communicator. Dials Yuri's number, again and again and again, for almost ten minutes straight. Actually yells out loud--why won't you answer, dammit?!
There's a notable shake in his voice when he finally does reply.]
Why...why should we believe your source? The last 'source' to leak files falsified a whole bunch of crap.

Freddie Lounds also had a source, after all.
Will rarely uses anything but text, but this isn't the usual, so it won't be treated as such.]
A tip. From a confidential source. [So, so unimpressed over here. He does not at all sound the same as when he last talked to Edgeworth, that much is for damn certain.] No pictures. No evidence...just the word of a source who, by your admission, only caught a mere glimpse.
[Uh huh.]
What are we supposed to find enough to convince in this?

And if Will takes a closer look at said crow, he will notice a small message container strapped to his leg. The message reads, in cramped handwriting:]
Can I come over? I can explain.

voice;
The man has two files, Graham, both with his name on it. Don't you find that even the slight bit suspicious?
[His tone's changed as well. There is no vulnerability, there is no uncertainty. He's not yelling, not yet; his tone is dreadfully quiet right now. But it's sharp, his words ready to cut at a moment's notice]

... Ha ha ha, just kidding. I've never even heard of him until now. But hey, you're lucky I want him caught too, because I can tell you where he is!
[Seems like someone's feeling back to his normal self. Aka not brainwashed by lightening.]
But first, you're going to have to convince these guys here that we're after the right guy. Because I don't want my great moment where I go "I've found the killer!" to be ruined by a bunch of guys going "BUT HE'S INNOCENT! YOU'RE FRAMING HIM!" It'd be a real bummer. Got it?

I'll worry about proof - you just worry about finding him. Do you mind telling me more about your talents, Mister...Joestar, is it?

It makes sense, you know. [ said with as much sadness and tiredness in his voice as he can muster. ] Yuri never once showed me his power, that's probably the reason why.

[Conan couldn't remember hearing this mentioned in any of his investigations so far. And this definitely sounded like something he should know about. ]

Lunatic is a dangerous serial killer with a grudge against criminals, who's decided to take justice into his own hands. [He says, without any awareness of his own grudge against criminals] I'm afraid he's been terrorizing the city over the past few months, and we have yet to capture him successfully.
[OOC: Edgeworth might be hesitant to get Conan involved if he thinks he's just a kid, but! He gave someone else deets in a public thread. I just wanted to link them now in case Edgeworth ends up holding back info in this conversation]

She could do this in private to him but that just comes off a little too ironic, even for her. Not wanting to broadcast her abilities to the network is a desire completely outclassed by the need to do the right thing. ]
Mr. Edgeworth, I think I can help. My name is Verity Willis and I'm sure you don't know me, just as I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the events you're talking about — but I'm something of a human lie detector, you see, and I might be able to set some of the doubts here to rest, once and for all.

Miss Willis, my name is Kay Faraday. I'm Mr. Edgeworth's source, and I'm willing to take a lie detector test.
I understand he's keeping my name away from the public, but I also want to convince people that I know what I saw.

Until now.
As unfortunate as this is (Petrov does hold a lofty position back home, and he can only imagine how much this will upset Kotetsu), Barnaby remains as poised as ever when he contacts Edgeworth.]
I'd been trying to get a hold of his files for awhile now, so I'd like to hear more about your source for myself, if you don't mind.
Also, you do realize you've put yourself on Lunatic's radar by doing this, right? He's not the type to ignore someone's attempt to obstruct his version of justice. And on the off chance it's not Petrov, he's not the type to let an innocent man take the blame for a crime he didn't commit. You might want to download our distress signal application if you haven't already, or stick close to someone capable of defending you in case he decides to make you a target.

[Takes a deep breath]
She's a girl, someone that I know from home, someone who-
[Hesitates, unsure of how to describe their relationship]
-who has no reason to lie to me. She came across Petrov at the courthouse - or rather, bumped into him there - and saw his files when she helped him with his things. I have no idea why he had them on him at the time, though. My only guess is that he didn't want to risk someone sniffing out a hiding spot.
