[OOC: I'll be very late tagging you guys back; I have two exams tomorrow and right now I'm pretty much just trying to chill out.]

[For a moment, you will see nothing but a great expanse of grass...and then a gloved hand, as the view changes from green to green and blue. Lake Meridian is in the background, after all. A young girl's voice can be heard.]

- ow! Ow, ow! I guess I'm really not dreaming. All those pinches hurt.

[Said young girl finally looks into the Dreamberry curiously, rubbing one eye with her free hand.]

Anyway, can anyone hear me? I was just sleeping, and then I woke up to the smell of grass and found these cards, and...is this supposed to be mine? It's a pretty cool phone...If no one wants it, can I have it?

...

Okay, seriously, did I sleepwalk or something?

[Then she turns to her left, to the invisible barrier.] And...is that a desert?

N-No way... [She shakes her head.]

But I can't give up! The Yatagarasu never gives up the chase for the truth! We might find something!

[prosecutes]

There is a time and place for everything, Kay. The search for the ultimate truth you speak of is an ongoing one that I have also been pursuing for the last two years. Until a new lead is found, I will be happy to share what I've learned thus far. However, you must accept that no complete answers are yet available.

Two...two years?! But we solved the embassy case... just several days ago!

[prosecutes]

[Embassy case? That gives Edgeworth a good idea of when Kay is from. He will make sure to remember this.]

With all the information you've collected so far, it's surprising you haven't been informed of the flow of time yet. Somarium... well, as lacking of an explanation as the term 'dream world' is, I'm afraid it's the closest one there is. As soon as we return home, it will be as though no time had passed at all since our initial disappearance.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I guess nobody has told me about that yet. Somarium just got even fishier.

Are you sure it's been two years, or have you just been counting the days too fast?

[prosecutes]

[He recalls this infamous date perfectly.]

I arrived on January 6th of the Somarium year two thousand and nine. It is currently March seventeenth of two thousand eleven.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Two thousand ele -

Hey! It's like we traveled back in time! Wasn't it two thousand nineteen when we put that smuggling ringleader behind bars?

[prosecutes]

Correct on both counts. Though Somarium is in the past, so to speak, some of its technology greatly overshadows that with which we are familiar. Have you ever before seen a video phone, for instance?

SOB how many edits have I been doing /tears hair out

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure phones can take pictures these days - I mean, where we come from. Not sure about recording videos, though.

But I bet they've got nothing like Little Thief!

It's okay, I don't get notifs for them anyway :'|

[prosecutes]

[Well, when you take into account the fact that crime scene photographs are still taken in black and white...]

No, the Little Thief remains one of a kind as far as I know. However, I must warn you of a unique feature of the phone you now possess: it records dreams.

D= /kicks notifs for being fail - KAY-STYLE

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Someone also told me that sometimes dreams are shown to everyone...how does that work? Do I flip a switch and ta-da, my dream is all over the phone?

/...is going to allow this

[prosecutes]

The Dreamberry has a mind of its own, it seems. The dreams broadcasted are chosen at random.

At least it's not YOU she's kicking.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, that's inconvenient. What if I dream of things I don't want other people to steal?

That's always a good thing.

[prosecutes]

You and a vast majority of the population... Yet there's really nothing which can be done about it.

As long as you're nice and not a bully she'll keep her foot away from your behind, Edgey.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

That's what they want us to think!

C'mon, Mr. Edgeworth! There's so much I still don't know about Somarium, and I gotta know everything if I'm gonna steal its truths!

Does bullying Gumshoe count?

[prosecutes]

I believe this conversation would best be continued in person. [In other words, he's still at work, and being on his phone is kinda distracting.]

...YES. She probably kicks harder now.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I'm already racking up a huge phone bill here! [She laughs.]

Anyway, since you've been here a lot longer than I have, how about a tour?

D:

[prosecutes]

I will gladly show you around when I have the time. Until then, feel free to ask anyone else as well.

It's a kick-and-fly job for the Yatagarasu, yes.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

I take it that's a no? So, when will you have the time?

[prosecutes]

I do have daily lunch breaks, but sometime during the weekend would be best. [Something tells him that showing her around the entire city will take far longer than an hour.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Okay! Where can I meet you?

[prosecutes]

I live in Suite 800 of the Enveria apartments. [Divulging this information can't be disastrous, right?

...Right?]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

[Not YET. Not till Kay figures out where that is. Which she will. Anyway, she nods.]

I'll be there in two shakes of a raven's tail!

... [She takes a few steps until she realizes what she has forgotten.]

...or when I find out where that is.

[prosecutes]

[Edgeworth just shakes his head.]

I am not there right now, Kay. As mentioned earlier, I am currently at the courthouse.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I thought you said I could meet you there...
