key 004 ☄ [video; happy Elvis day!]

[yatagarasu]

[Hello, Somarium. This is Kay, with a shiny guitar that looks pretty new. She plucks a few strings, and then launches into the chords of Jailhouse Rock, by The King himself, looking and sounding very confident as she goes. Instead of remaining on her seat, she stands up and tries to dance around while playing.

Now, Kay is neither a good singer nor an accomplished guitarist. She misses a few chords every so often, gets a few strings wrong, and her pitches aren't perfect, but she deserves credit for trying. At least her singing voice isn't the annoying sort you'd hear on drunken karaoke nights; she clearly practiced a bit before this performance, and she doesn't scream the words. And of course, she keeps on going instead of going OH DARN IT I GOT IT WRONG or anything like that.

When she's done, she flops onto the bed, sets the guitar aside and waves.]

Happy Elvis Day! It doesn't look like Stitch is gonna wake up any time soon, so I decided to get started. If he does get up later, we'll do a duet, just like in the Elvis special of the Jammin' Ninja! If only I had my DVDs...

... [Now she's looking thoughtful, and a little concerned.]

I hope he wakes up soon. Elvis Day would be more fun with him around.

[Hmmm, what else, what else? She strokes her chin in thought.]

Oh yeah, I heard there was gonna be a police party! [The thief sits up again, clasping her hands together and...heck, she even forgets to just take this part of the transmission to a private call.] Mr. Edgeworth, can we go? Can we? Please?

Now I really hope Stitch wakes up! He could come with us!

[Innocence incarnate.]

Who's...Elvis, M'lady? Is he some sort of...blessed person?

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

[Sounds like the fact that Elvis isn't a REAL king needs to be smoothed out...]

He's called the King of Rock n' Roll and he's famous, but he's not exactly a real king.

[wittyoneliners.livejournal.com]

...rock...and...roll? He's a...warrior then?

[He's still very confused.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head, reaches for her guitar and plucks a string idly.]

No, no, he's a musician. He sings and plays the guitar.

[wittyoneliners.livejournal.com]

Oh...you mean a bard.

[prosecutes]

[Ouch, those sour notes grate on Edgeworth's nerves. He can appreciate music of many sorts as long as it is played well, but he is now doing his best to keep comments about her lackluster playing to himself. Instead, he intends to say something regarding her mention of the Jammin' Ninja -- until Kay continues on to mention the police party.]

The event has an age restriction, Kay. I'm afraid you're not old enough... perhaps in a few years.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Wh-what? What kind of party has an age restriction?!

I'm seventeen, and there's no party the Yatagarasu can't handle!

[prosecutes]

Oh, that's right... I believe the restriction has been moved down to sixteen this year.

Restrictions exist to prevent unsavory behavior from crowds of young ruffians who find the occasion not entertaining enough for their liking. [Also, alcohol.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

If it makes you feel better, I promise I won't take a single drop of alcohol.

[prosecutes]

[Edgeworth knows that she's technically old enough to consume alcohol by most European standards, but not consuming any is even better.]

That sounds like a fair arrangement.

[She's concerned that Kay's upset by Stitch being asleep, but she attempts to take her mind off of it instead.]

Elvis Day... Jammin' Ninja? [She giggles.] Are those important things in your world, Kay?

[video]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Elvis is a really famous musician - the King of Rock and Roll. And the Jammin' Ninja is only the best show to ever hit the TV screens!

[video]

[naivelysanguine.livejournal.com]

I see. Well I'm certainly glad that I can at least hear a bit of his music through you. This all sounds quite exciting!

[video]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope I did him justice! Stitch would've done better, though.

If we're still here next year, why don't you join us in celebrating Elvis Day? It's actually a really fun holiday!

[video]

[naivelysanguine.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it would be even more wonderful if you were to do it together.

[She gives a brief nod of her head, as if deciding something.]

Yes, if we're here next year, perhaps we can all celebrate together and you can teach me a bit of his music as well!

[HOLD UP MUSIC EXPERT COMING THROUGH]

What is that dreadful sound!?

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

It's Elvis - and hey! I practiced!

[clonezart.livejournal.com]

Did you? I can't tell at all!

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

I really did! Cut me some slack, I haven't played the guitar in ages! Maybe I should've continued those lessons...

[clonezart.livejournal.com]

If you ask me, you don't have any business touching a guitar!

[belovedoutsider]

[ Well... this still isn't as bad as Goland's violin. ]

Elvis?

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Yup, the King of Rock and Roll...you've never heard of him either?

[Well, then again, these were different worlds and time frames...she should have expected people to start asking who Elvis was.]

[belovedoutsider]

Not at all... but he must be famous in your world. The song is... interesting.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

He really is. And that was my favorite Elvis song - it was one of those featured in the Elvis special.

[belovedoutsider]

I'm surprised you still remember it actually. How long have you been here?
