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

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.

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

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.

That...

[Edgeworth swallows.]

That's absurd.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

For a...what?

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.

Hmph.

I would appreciate that information now, in that case.

[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.

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

Edited 2014-07-12 16:48 (UTC)

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.

And who are these people, exactly?

The only ones who'd be horrified that I wound up dead somewhere. Not giving names, Edgey, don't even try. I'll tell them to keep an eye on you if it looks like it's going sour, okay?

All of that is completely useless. You're rendering me completely unable to proactively take steps toward my own defense.

Oh for crying out loud, fine. But if I catch wind of you using this for anything other than Lucifer? All the law enforcement in the world won't stop me from smearing you across the floor in a gross paste.

Draw the sigil on the wall in your own blood, then place your palm on the center of it. The sigil will do the rest.

...What else could it be used for?

[Yes. That's what will do for thanks.]

Absolutely nothing else, that's what it can be used for. I'm deadly serious, Edgeworth. Now listen up, because for once this is important. Lucifer just unleashed a load of crap on this planet by using things from back home. He nearly broke reality. Keep that in mind, because if everyone starts using it? We're in a heap of trouble.

And so are you cause I'll kick your ass and resurrect you, just so I can kick your ass again.

Or I could use this sigil to keep you from doing that.

Doesn't work on me, just works on the....lesser angels...crap. I didn't think of that. Well it'd work if any angels give you grief but archangels? I think we're going to need a plan B already, or you'll be losing more blood than what you used to draw that.

...Was this some attempt to sabotage me?
