[The thing about employing text is that when you start using it when all your broadcasts are in video, people tend to question why you've suddenly switched. So he makes the decision to instead compose himself as best as he can and use video instead.

Unfortunately, he always sort of overestimates his ability to compose himself. He certainly doesn't seem distraught, or panicked, or anything of the sort, but he's definitely shaky. This is definitely a far cry from his normal, slow, quiet, lengthy broadcasts.]

I'm leaving on a business trip abroad for...some length of time. I'm - not certain how long. Please don't try to contact me; I'll be far too busy to answer any messages.

Good day.

I'm - not sending you one.

[larker]

What, after I brought you food from Bali? Thanks a lot, sheesh.

[Eyerolls. What can you do? Either way he's not expecting one, this whole thing sounds suss to begin with.]

[glassinine]

I - did not realize you wanted repayment for that.

video;

[larker]

I don't, stop taking everything I say so seriously. It's hard to joke around if you're going to take it literally. Either way have a good trip. Don't go dying, I can't bash my head against a brick wall by teasing you if you don't come back.

[glassinine]

I will not be engaging in any activities that involve risk.

[larker]

Hmhm. Sounds more like you're going out of your way to avoid it. Either way, not my place to judge or find out.

[Privated]

Any issues, let me know. I can get there in a few minutes tops. Only I'm allowed to kick you around.

[glassinine]

Sir, that - I said to you that there will not be any danger. Don't misapprehend.

video, private;

[larker]

Ugh I've told you before not to call me that. Eesh. And I didn't specify what kind of issues, for all you know you could run out of teabags. Dad forbid you run out of teabags.

video, private;

[glassinine]

...I don't use teabags. They brew inferior tea. Are you truly offering to run errands for me?

video, private;

[larker]

I don't make tea, it tastes like leaves. And all I'm saying is if you need anything, shout. Though now I'm almost starting to regret that. I have permission to leave the country on a whim if I need to. Something I arranged because quite frankly I expect Lucifer to be out soon. Considering I got the permission for it from Holiday? I don't think they expect him to stay in there much longer either. Which is why I'm saying if you need anything, then shout.

video, private;

[glassinine]

I - Hold on. What do you mean? You think they're going to release him?

video, private;

[larker]

Hell if I know. All I remember is them saying that they didn't control what gave us our powers or removed them. Remember? When I was giving Holiday shit for not getting rid of his powers in the first place? Having total mental images of Lucifer just getting them back randomly.

video, private;

[glassinine]

That...

[Edgeworth swallows.]

That's absurd.

video, private;

[larker]

Oh yes. Absolutely absurd. To the point that when I mentioned to Holiday I was on Lucifer's shitlist, and needed my travel restrictions to make a quick getaway, they granted it on the spot. Yup, totally absurd.

[glassinine]

[He clenches his jaw and closes his eyes. After a moment:]

If Lucifer comes after me, I - do not want assistance.

video, private;

[larker]

Okay. I'll bring flowers, how about that? Not for you personally, but to put on your headstone. The game has changed now, Edgey. There are people here that will wind Lucifer up just by being in existence.

Anyway, I think I'm higher up on that list, so if I wind up dead somewhere then you know you're in a load of crap.

video, private;

[glassinine]

...Fine. I'll - I will do all that I can to...ensure that he doesn't...get free.

video, private;

[larker]

If he does? I will personally send you the blueprints for a banishing sigil. But not until then because it works on me too and it's a total pain in the ass.

video, private;

[glassinine]

For a...what?

video, private;

[larker]

Angel banishing sigil, my good friend. You draw it on the wall in your own blood, and when you complete it then it will banish any angel in your immediate vicinity far away.

video, private;

[glassinine]

Hmph.

I would appreciate that information now, in that case.

video, private;

[larker]

[That's more like the Edgeworth that Gabriel knows.]

You need to respect the fact that can't just hand that information out now, Edgeworth. It's powerful stuff, and not something to just casually give. Enochian sigils aren't something that I should be introducing into a world that doesn't originally have them.

[glassinine]

And if you are killed before you give it to me?

video, private;

[larker]

There are other people here who know what it is, that would also not give it out so easy. If I get killed, then ask them, and let them know that I said to give it.

video, private;

[glassinine]

And who are these people, exactly?
