dream 002 ☄ memories of the 1920's

[ Warnings: Violence, death, blood
Effects: None...again. ]

The girl's cropped hair is black, and she looks to be around thirteen or fourteen years of age. Her outfit - blouse and long skirt and all - is as dark as her hair, and she's gripping a gun still in its holster. A simple revolver whose case depicted a small raven in flight.

She is standing in a dim office - so dim that the single lightbulb focused only on her. It was like being in the spotlight, literally. A corner of the desk is visible, but beyond that is pure darkness.

After looking down at her shoes, she speaks up.

"Please," the girl whispers. "I want to finish what my father started. I promise you won't regret it."

* * *

The same girl is now running down a street in the middle of the night, now wearing a waitress uniform. Her hair as grown a little longer, but it can still be considered short. Her heels click on the pavement as she goes, and she nearly trips. Grumbling, she kicks off the shoes and resumes running.

Behind her, a bullet ricochets off a trash can as she curves her route in an attempt to evade their shots while she still couldn't find a hiding place.

"She's an agent! Get her!"

The girl turns a corner into an alley, raises her gun and returned fire - only to realize that she had just fired her only bullet. She pulls the trigger again and again, and checks the gun; it really only had one bullet to start with. But...but that was impossible!

She walks ahead deeper into the alley...

* * *

...and into another room. A ransacked room with signs of struggle. And on the floor was a man lying in a pool of his own blood. He had died of a stab wound to the chest, and his eyes were closed. He had short brown hair tied in a half-ponytail, and wore a blue scarf with cloud patterns.

"Kay."

The same man, unscathed and alive, was standing behind her, scarf and all. She jumps, her eyes wide and her mouth open in a yell of shock.

"D-Daddy?!"

"Yes, Kay, it's me."

Kay could only stare at him, and back at the corpse, and again...

"Is it really you?"

He extends a clean hand toward her.

"Yes, it's me. Why shouldn't it be me?"

"B-b-because you're...you're..." Kay bites her lip, shuddering. Could he not see the dead body behind her? Tentatively she reaches out...

* * *

...and accepts the badge of an agent. An agent of the FBI. The hand that had given it to her was no longer her father's. The burgundy sleeve was proof enough.

"I won't let either of you down, Mr. Edgeworth," Kay declares, standing tall.

[And Kay sits up, wide awake and breathing hard...and she may be sweating a bit. She looks around her room several times before grabbing her Dreamberry and switching it off without another word. Yeesh, this again?]
prosecutes: (Ergo your mom)

And I should have been a strong enough leader to deny your request. [Having lost his father in a similar way, he took pity on the girl and could easily empathize with her. With her being persuasive and him inclined to grant the request of his late colleague, she got the job after all.]

But there is nothing that either of us can do now to change what has already taken place.

[Kay blinks. Honestly, if he turned her down, she would have pleaded even more.]

You're right...it's done... [But the tone of her voice seems to suggest that there's still more to come.]
prosecutes: (Reading)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2011-06-09 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
What will you do now?

[It's a valid question: there is no more FBI, their scheduled trip to the water park was (fortunately?) forgotten in favor of exploring the ruins, and that restaurant job is long gone.]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-09 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
What'll I do now? I'll be the Great Thief Yatagarasu, of course! And your assistant.

[What else?]
prosecutes: (Have you even read this?)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2011-06-14 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, it was foolish of me to expect any other answer to that question, wasn't it?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-14 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
I did promise to carry on Daddy and Uncle Badd's legacy, didn't I? And I will, no matter what world we end up in!
prosecutes: Your argument is invalid. (Prince Charming)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2011-06-17 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
And I will do my best to help when I can.

[...]

Within legal limits, of course.

...that icon makes me want to take him home as a butler

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-24 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
You'd really do that, Mr. Edgeworth? [She's happy, nonetheless.]
prosecutes: (Relaxing)

He would not be very happy about that.

[personal profile] prosecutes 2011-06-24 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's the least I can do. [And it will help make sure that she doesn't get herself into anything too dangerous.]

Heck, I wouldn't, if anyone took me home as a butler.

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-24 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll help you help me! Or just help you in general. We'll be unstoppable! [At least she's been cheered up.]
prosecutes: (Let me point out your flaws)

Ditto.

[personal profile] prosecutes 2011-06-26 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he wouldn't necessarily say 'unstoppable'. There are many roadblocks set by legal boundaries and entirely impossible situations.] At the very least, we will work diligently to discover all the truths behind the many mysteries of Somarium. [He had no idea that this would cheer her up so well, but since it has, awesome.]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! [You don't know how this is helping her right now, Edgeworth. Maybe she just needed to be reminded of her ~PURPOSE IN LIFE~] We'll find all the truths and bring them out for everyone to know...and I'll keep on looking for more people to recruit into the Yatagarasu!
prosecutes: Your argument is invalid. (Checkmate)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2011-06-28 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Have any potential recruits caught your eye yet?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I did want a group of three girls, but I think I can fit some guys in too.
prosecutes: (Confident)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2011-06-29 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
I would like to meet them sometime, once you come to a decision.

[To do a background check, but he won't say that out loud. Hey, can't be too careful...]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No problem! They're nice, don't worry!

[Kay's also going to do a background check of her own, don't worry your poor cravat off, Edgeworth.]
