So hey, if you destroyed that file they gave you, when you first arrived? The one with all those little details about you? Doesn't actually matter, because they've got a copy of it somewhere. Or something really like it.

Just thought that should be publicly known--it figures, right. That's the government for you. Keeping tabs on all of us.

I've been locked up for a-- week, a week and a half. Kept on my own. Not because of what I did, because I didn't do anything. And they're still not ready t' let me out. They keep saying the investigation is ongoing. [He actually sounds sort of amused by that--grim, dark, but amused.] Something about it's got t' be going right, because they're giving me little privileges back, one piece at a time. Or maybe they're just trying to keep me happy.

Or maybe someone's hoping it'll be enough to earn allegiance out of me, some-- deal with the devil kind of thing. Who knows how the hell all of these pieces are connected here. It's a slow process, whatever process they're going off of. Guess with all their superheroes running around, stopping crime, they don't have t' worry about overcrowding in their jails.

But, hey. At least it's still basically 1950, so smoking's still considered a basic human right. [human ha ha] Except I'm almost out. And I'm out of crosswords, and I'm fucking bored.

[AND NOT HAPPY but whatever that's "wrongful imprisonment" for you.]

One thing's for sure. Whoever got me into this? Whoever, or whatever--I'm not forgetting it.

[A suspicious government move means that Jean should probably look into it. If not him, then someone else would, but he still wants to have the best understanding that he can grasp.]

What earned you your spot there? You aren't like that other guy.

[Other guy isn't specified, but he means Lucifer.]

Mr. Mitchell; good day. You'll forgive me saying this, but I think the assumption of the deal with the devil seems a touch paranoid. The justice system here has no desire to wring some cooperation from you.

Yeah, I'm pretty unique.

[Dry, and pissed off--but pretty controlled, all things considered.]

And I don't really know, that's the thing of it. I've been here long enough to know I'm being blamed for a crime I can't even remember doing, that I wouldn't have done. Lots of witnesses, no real evidence. It's great.

Seems like they don't know what to do with me.

You going t' help get me released, Edgeworth?

You didn't do anything?

And they arrested you.

I am looking into these crimes in general, Mr. Mitchell. If my investigation finds you innocent, then you will be released.

Guilty until proven innocent, I see. So much the courtroom drama—I take it there's some very large gaps that lay unaccounted for.

[this doesn't actually surprise him—but mortal law vs. people with powers thing, who's unprepared? then again, he'll save his little "I told you so"s for later.]

They're saying I did something. Oh, I don't remember doing it, and I wouldn't have done it, but they had a whole bus of witnesses who saw it in broad daylight, so what the hell, right?

Were you drunk at any point?

You should have assumed that from the start, about the file. Anyone who mentioned it was told of a similar possibility. I thought they were simply giving us our copy as a courtesy, they aren't going to provide the only one.

[ part of why she doesn't bother hiding. ]

You can't be held that long without a charge. What charge do they have?

Oh, well, thanks. I feel so much better. I thought you were a lawyer, what 'investigating' are you doing?

They got visiting hours? I could bring you a pack. [ Smoking was one vice the Kindred could indulge even if they didn't get anything out of it, but Bader kept a steady supply just because she liked the smell. ]

I am a lawyer, yes. But at home, attorneys have investigative rights in their cases. I am applying the skills I've acquired to uncover the truth behind this matter.

Gaps, yeah, there's gaps. Well, they do have their witnesses, to be fair. A whole bus full of people.

It's just that I didn't do it, and I don't remember doing it, that's the whole part that sticks. So I guess you could say it's gaps. Or more like huge important pieces that are 'unaccounted for'.

Yeah, well, maybe it should be added to the welcome wagon's script. No one told me. I don't get on this thing very much.

[But he really should have known. There was just so much going on, when he arrived, too much, easily overwhelming.]

And they've got their charges, and their witnesses. A whole bus full of people that I took hostage. The thing is, I didn't do it, and I wouldn't have, and I don't remember doing it--but none of that's exactly good enough.

[cue exaggerated sigh—something about this is definitely off in a terrible way to him. don't think about a jailbreak, Loki, don't think about it.]

With all the budding talent you'd think that they'd be able to make confirmation on your account. The power of mortal law. Your likeness would be the least of their concerns, especially for an imPort. Anyone can take a face, if they like it well enough.

[which he'd be willing to demonstrate.]

What?

[He actually laughs at that--grimly, but whatever.]

No. It wasn't 'cause of blacking out, or anything. It's just-- not there.

[He actually pauses, a second, before he answers this one. That's... unexpectedly charitable.]

Is asking for two pushing it? [And, this is some attempt at a joke, right--] Helps t' have something to trade in here. God only knows how long I'll be here.

Huh.

You'd think someone might have powers to be able to take memories away. Or like. Mind control. You know, like a telepath.

Who the fuck would think that they'd give them the original?

Is that right.

Found anything yet, Columbo?

...I have.

[no come on how about a jailbreak bro]

They don't seem too ready to use any mind-reading powers on me to get verification, if that's what you're thinking they should be doing.

[And the jury is out if he'd let that happen or not, even if it would get him off. But um actually a pause here--]

What d'you mean, 'take a face'.

I can part with two. [ What she has failed to mention is her primary source of income is petty theft. ]

Where the hell do they have you? I don't think you should worrying about prison trades and filing the ends of toothbrushes in the county slammer.

Edited 2014-06-14 21:39 (UTC)

Yeah, because that's exactly the kind of thing I need to be hearing right now.

If that's all you've got to offer, thanks-- but fuck off, man.
