[video]

[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.

If you're going to be gone for some length of time and you don't know how long that some length is, wanted to know if you've got anything relying on you and if someone's taking care of it.

[glassinine]

[Can texts be forceful? This would be forceful.]

I would never leave a pet uncared-for.

text/private forever, etc.

[infomodder]

I had a funny feeling you'd say that.

[Will communicates in text as often as he can, bro; they can be whatever you want them to be.]

You got onto Danger for asking a question phrased in a manner you thought insensitive, likely to cause distress to the people here.
You're acting extremely unlike yourself, from what I've seen since the cat dragged me in.
Don't you think that's a little more distressing to people who care about you than...any question worded any way at all possible?
We both know you can use this text feature. So why aren't you? This is not what a "good day" looks like on you. Don't have to be a profiler to see that.

[Since he's been here he's seen everything.

It's not stalking, it's...the news! It also doesn't mean he cares (certainly not). This is verging into how close he gets to "are you okay?" because that question is garbage.]

aw yeah

[glassinine]

[A slight pause, then:]

Fine. I apologize for not using the text. I thought video would be faster, so I used video; I am sorry if the fact that I was distracted in the message was "distressing."

[infomodder]

No, no. You're not like me. You always do the video thing. Using text could raise suspicions. Would raise suspicions. I'm not sure you can use my easy excuse of "I forgot to shave and no one needs to see that."
(It works.)
Don't need to apologize to me.
Does it really not snow in the Quebec here until October?

[Come on, buddy. Come on.]

[glassinine]

Please do not read my other conversations.

[infomodder]

They're public! They're fair game.
I read all your other public conversations anyway.
Just don't tell you.

[Until
now

apparently]

[glassinine]

[wha]

On this post, you mean? Or always?

[infomodder]

[Welp.]

Always.
As in..."everything you say or write or whatever publicly" always.
Since the first time we spoke.
It's not just you.
Not targeting you.
Pay a lot of attention to this thing, shop's got downtime, memory of an elephant.
I'm not stalking you.

[He's not stalking Edgeworth.

Other people, though.

He's stalking them.]

[glassinine]

[He does not like that. At all.]

You ought to stop wasting your time.

[infomodder]

There's some people I tune out. Try to tune out.
Some I've gotta keep an eye on that I wish I could, but I can't.
My problem is that if I absorb things like a sponge. Never forget it once I've seen or heard it.
Besides, getting your perspective is the exact opposite of a waste of time.

[glassinine]

My perspective is worth next to nothing.

[infomodder]

All right well
I find your perspective worthwhile.
You're intelligent but seem to put others above yourself. In some way, mind.
You know what tipped me off more than anything else?
You said please.
But in the past, you say please on behalf of other people when you address us all at large.
Please don't be idiots with this copycatting thing, please speak to me about something important, please be careful for your own safety.
You just said please on behalf of you.
Nobody else from the looks of it, just on your own behalf.
Just please. No I beg of you.
Please.
That's not someone who has a perspective worth next to nothing, Mr. Edgeworth.
That's worth a lot.

[glassinine]

[A moment, but - ]

As you said: this request I've made is purely for my own benefit. The others were as well, to make my job easier. There's nothing worthwhile about that.

[infomodder]

You realize that having a worthwhile perspective isn't my calling you something as stark and extreme as, say, a hero, don't you?
Since you take issue with the word.

[glassinine]

[A beat. Which of the conversations did he get that from?]

I simply do not think that the evidence you cited supports my perspective being "worthwhile."

[infomodder]

[Dog kid. He pays attention, a lot of it, to anything with dogs.

Not so much kids.]

You want me to start spouting off everything that points in the opposite direction of that?
I can.
We'll be here for a bit and you might think I'm legitimately stalking you, but I'm not.
If I was legitimately stalking you, I wouldn't tell you, you know?

[glassinine]

Look. I simply do not think there is any sense in you overestimating my virtue.

[infomodder]

Yeah well
For a guy who's so quick to give his honest opinion on the quality of pictures on INSTAGRAM
I'm simply a little befuddled why you're all of a sudden like
Thinking of yourself as some sort of inferior being
Doesn't match up
Not here to psychoanalyze just
You know
It's worrisome

[glassinine]

I'm not thinking of myself as such. I'm simply pointing out facts.

1/2

[infomodder]

Your idea of a fact is that your perspective is worth next to nothing? You consider that a fact?
So my thinking your perspective as anything else makes me, what? Stupid?
Thanks.

[infomodder]

Not so good socially.
Sure you picked up on that.
If you need something done in Heropa while you're out playing please don't contact me, you can shoot me a message. Guaranteed no questions about how you're doing asked, where you are, all of it.
Just don't ask me to do something outrageously illegal like
steal a candy bar.
That's a no.

[glassinine]

Sir, I am in no position to ask favors of you.

[infomodder]

1) Will. It's just Will. It's a single letter more than Sir. Will.
2) You don't need to ask because I've offered.
3) W-i-l-l

[glassinine]

Well, I do not accept. I thank you, but I do not accept.
