[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!

Not without good reason.

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!

[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.]

[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.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Yes! [SCORE!]

[prosecutes]

(I will live to regret that answer, won't I?)

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

[Do you even want an answer to that? Did you hear how cheerful and excited and hyper Kay was on the other line?

DO YOU WANT TO RUIN IT.]

[prosecutes]

[No, he does not. But he'll probably still be grumpfacing about it when actually there.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

[Then will you allow your bitty assistant the honor of turning that grumpface into a happy face?]

[prosecutes]

[Maybe.]
