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!]

[Better? Oh, he's not looking anywhere near better right now. It's the use of petty that ends up getting Will's hackles raised more than anything else, and anything calm or steady has been thrown out the window.]

Me? Are you unaware of the presumption of innocence, that a defendant is innocent until there is solid evidence to proof guilt? The onus is not on me to prove innocence when there's nothing to prove guilt! This is not legal, this is not ethical, [BOOM] and there is nothing here to show that you do know what you're talking about. All you've given is hearsay, which doesn't usually do so well in court, does it?

[Sure sounds like Edgeworth hit something personal, other than Will and Yuri being...friends...ish. Yuri picked well with Will. Not only has he managed to befriend someone who knows the law (and how to give it the middle finger or abide by it without having too many crises either way), he's managed to find one hell of a dog. Ears back, teeth bare, more wolf than bloodhound when it comes to defense. Rabid or just pissed off? Wait and see if that spit gets frothy.]
infomodder: think about it for a second—aw yes made you puke (tho i am a bass man)

[Good thing it's not a courtroom, last one Will was in had to call off his trial because people kept getting murdered in spectacularly complicated and horrible ways. Still, Edgeworth makes a good point...even if Will's going to do that in a way he probably didn't intend. Enough talk, good God. Will does sound like he's had enough talk, regains that calm, steady, flat tone. Somebody done made up his mind.]

It's fair to presume I could contribute much better if I did see myself out. Thank you for the permission.

[That I didn't need. But he hangs up and, actually, means it. He'll have a talk with Kay and get his ass in gear to Yuri's place. This mutt prefers to hunt alone rather than with a pack anyway.]
