Case File 007; Text; backdated to 9/10

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]

Magnet lady. That's honestly the best you can do?

[YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE HEARD A NAME, AT LEAST]

[brushoff]

You know who I'm talking about.

[ he doesn't caaaaare, okay? ]

[takethestairs]

I'm just surprised you've paid so little attention to what happened afterward.

[brushoff]

I had my reasons not to. [ and Dorian can't help but borderline scowl as he says this. his reasons aka Toby was at the swear-in and got messed up and damn if Dorian doesn't drop everything and have tunnel vision for Toby. ]

Besides, I don't care about half the people that were at the swear-in.

[takethestairs]

And the other half?

[brushoff]

I care about them a little bit more.

[ why yes, he is saying this mostly to get Edgeworth's goat ]

[takethestairs]

Thank you once again for stating the obvious, in the most useless way possible.

[brushoff]

What did you want me to say, I care deeply for the other half and wish them a fast recovery? We both know that, a few people aside, that's not true.

[takethestairs]

I suppose you're right. Let's just hope that those few people don't get sick of you anytime soon.

[brushoff]

Trust me: they won't. I can be devilishly charming when I want to.

[takethestairs]

Charm can only take a man so far, Gray, even someone as *delightful* as you. Let's hope, for your sake, that you have more to offer them than that.

[brushoff]

In that case, it's good that I'm attractive as well as charming. [ said with a grin that's pure "LOOK AT ME, I'M BEING A SHIT." ]

[takethestairs]

[You know what? He gives up. Have a nice life, Dorian; Edgeworth is dropping this conversation like it's hot]

[brushoff]

[ WELL YOU'RE NO FUN ANYMORE boooo on you Miles. ]
