[For anyone in the vicinity AKA First District of Somni, you might just notice a girl standing in front of that water park, talking excitedly into her Dreamberry.]

I can't believe there's a water park here! You know what this means? We gotta investigate that water park! [If you know what I mean. There's a mischievous lilt in her voice. "Investigate". Suuuuure. If by "investigate" she means "tear it up like there's no tomorrow and have the time of your life", then yes, let's investigate. One can tell she's grinning while speaking, even.]

That huge twisty slide looks really suspicious. I should investigate that first!

Where could you even obtain such gear?

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

I'll ask around if anyone has stolen a water slide before! But I think I'd need to steal a pool too...

[prosecutes]

You are not stealing either one of those things!

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay! Calm down, Mr. Edgeworth! Can't you take a joke?

[...but she DOES sort of want to steal them if she can't pay the entrance fee.]

[prosecutes]

I am not highly fond of jokes made regarding criminal activities.

[Just get Edgeworth to pay it somehow, he's rich anyway.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

[OH SHE WILL.]

But it really was only a joke! Anyway, are you coming with me to investigate?

[prosecutes]

I trust that you can handle this investigation on your own.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Don't they always say two heads are better than one? It'll be fun! [No, she is not cooking up a scheme to push Edgeworth into a swimming pool. What makes you think that?]

[prosecutes]

[That's okay, he's got enough excuses to fill a briefcase.]

It's a work day.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Can't you take a day off?

[prosecutes]

Not without good reason.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Then tell them you're going on an investigation!

[CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.]

[prosecutes]

I will not lie to get out of work.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

But it's really an investigation! And you could pay our entrance fees!

[prosecutes]

There is no crime scene and nothing suspicious to look into.

...

What about this weekend?

[prosecutes]

What about it?

[You're going to have to be a bit more direct than that; he's never had much of a social life, well, ever. For all he knows, you could be suggesting that something suspicious will happen at the water park this weekend.]

[WHERE IN THE NAME OF SWISS ROLLS IS YOUR SENSE OF FUN ALDFJALDSFJ]

Let's go to the water park this weekend!

[prosecutes]

[IT DIED IN THAT COURTHOUSE ELEVATOR OR SOMETHING IDK]

...

[And the memories of helping Kay out because her father died in the 1920's life are still fresh in his mind, so that definitely works to her advantage.]

I'll have to check my calendar.

[Actually, he knows he's got nothing planned for the weekend except catching up on the new episodes of Somarium's original series The Chrome Samurai (which is nowhere near as good as the Steel Samurai, but isn't too bad) and sleeping. He just doesn't want to say yes right away.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

[Kay will just be here, putting on a smile for everyone because THAT'S WHAT DADDY SAID. THEN HE KICKED THE BUCKET. Only...well, she's using voice right now. Never mind. Um.]

All right! You can't possibly be working on weekends too...there should be a law against that!

[prosecutes]

Crime doesn't take any breaks on weekends or holidays, Kay.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

What if you got someone to just take your work for you while you took a break?

[prosecutes]

Then their weekend would in turn be sabotaged so that I may have mine.

[He normally wouldn't care, but the only ones he would trust with his work are Franziska and Inspector Javert. He wouldn't want to ruin their weekends.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Okay, Mr. Edgeworth, if nothing bad happens this weekend and you have absolutely no work to do, will you come with me?

[prosecutes]

Very well.
