[video] 16/4 - Ghost Sightings

[attractedtodarkness]

[When the feed comes on in the afternoon, it shows Violet glaring at her camera phone. The past few days have been nothing short of irritating. Her stance on ghosts has been to ignore them but with the number of murdered growing, it's been getting harder and harder to. (That and they seem to have discovered she can see them)]

All right, asshole! I don't care what kind of underworld angel you are. Just quit killing people! I'm sick of seeing dead ghosts wandering around with blood on their faces and their guts hanging out.

[She brushes her hair from her face in agitation]

If you've somehow been living under a rock, Lucifer's been going around killing people. Publicly. Google it. What I want to know is why he hasn't been caught yet.

Comments

[attractedtodarkness]

[she's going to learn to deal with Edgeworth eventually since the tough teenager act isn't working]

Not yet. Not unless I know who I'm moving in with.

[humanistic]

Well. That's-- good.

[He says it sort of hesitantly, wary of sounding like an Approving Adult Figure. It doesn't work so well, it still sounds idiotic, and he winces at himself.]

You know what I mean. Does he, uh. Know? About you bein' a ghost, I mean.

[attractedtodarkness]

Miles? I told him but he doesn't believe me.

[it still hurts to recall that moment, especially with how private her past is to her]

[humanistic]

[That's not exactly surprising. His mouth twists a little, wryly, but he doesn't make half the snarky comments that he wants to make. She's got to live with him, right? For better or for worse.]

He's an idiot.

[It's more dismissive than insulting.]

But good for you for trying t' tell him.

[attractedtodarkness]

Probably just gave him more reason to think I'm crazy.

[She smiled wryly in return.]

But thanks for trying to make me feel better.

[With the unspoken 'though it didn't work' hanging in the air.]

[humanistic]

[Yeah, he picks up on that pretty easily, with an inward wince. Great job, Mitchell.]

Yeah, well, you aren't crazy. If he didn't have his head up his arse, he'd realise that. And it's his loss anyways.

[But listening to mild verbal abuse of Edgeworth probably won't make her feel better, even if it helps Mitchell.]

He's probably just jealous 'cause he wouldn't get to join the supernatural superhero team.

[attractedtodarkness]

I'm not teaming up with him unless my life depended on it.

[a pause as she considers whether she should voice her thoughts]

And I prefer it if it's just the two of us anyway.

[so she's grown to like Mitchell a lot. Sue her]

[humanistic]

[He really shouldn't be so quick to get attached, and he really shouldn't drag Violet into the inevitable mess that is everything he ever touches--but Mitchell is very good at lying to himself, good enough that he thinks, well, it won't be that way this time. And it helps, too, that he's already pretty fond of her himself.

So, okay, he smiles at that response, studying her for a second like he's got to make sure that she's sincere in what she says.]

Is that right. [Even his tone is way too fond for that to sound at all sarcastic.] It just so happens that that's the way I'd like it, too. So since both members of the team are voting, I think that means we've got an exclusive club.

Congratulations.

[attractedtodarkness]

[She's smiling openly - something which rarely happens for her. She could care less about his past, especially after what she's been through. Besides, few things could beat having had a boyfriend who's dead and a murderer]

We're not calling it the supernatural superhero team though. I'll come up with a better name later.

[If they're going to make a cool club. It's going to be a private cool club with a cool name]

[humanistic]

[aw bless we'll try not to brutally murder anyone and mess up that line of thinking, Violet]

Yeah, as my first act, I'm definitely putting you in charge of the name. Unless you seriously put out freakazoids as a possibility, I'm automatically vetoing that one.

[attractedtodarkness]

I'm not that lame.

[she rolls her eyes and looks back at the menu]

Let's order something already. I'm starving.

[humanistic]

Hey, I can't be too careful. I don't want to get stuck with something awful.

[But food, yeah--he flags down the waitress again, giving his menu another once-over.]

I'll have, uh, a cheeseburger. And coffee. And she'll have--

[attractedtodarkness]

[Violet considers it]

I'll have the same thing.

[then she's handing the menu off to the waitress.]

Could use the pick me up.

[she doubts she's sleeping much tonight]

[humanistic]

[He hands his menu off as well, but shoots Violet a little grin.]

Wish you would've said, I would've just gotten some crap pizza and made you watch movies all night. Ah, well, there's always another time.

[Not that he wants her kept away from escorting ghosts to the other side all the time. There's 'another time' for movie marathons.]

[attractedtodarkness]

Oh, are we doing movie nights now? [she grins. Even she has enough sense to think this is a weird relationship but she's comfortable with it]
