[Hey guys, remember this girl? She may or may not have been sighted TP-ing up your houses for Halloween. And she's about to get what's coming because she is SO BUSTED. In fact, right now, she is on the receiving end of a good scolding from her boss (and possibly guardian figure), who is standing in front of her with a very disapproving frown and crossed arms.

Kay, for her part, is defiant and determined to out-argue Edgeworth - and if she's lucky, escape getting grounded.]

But it's not like anyone got hurt! It was only a prank!

[Her fists are clenched; she's obviously on the losing end so far.]

Even without physical harm, this "prank" of yours has other consequences for the homeowners whose houses you have vandalized.

["Vandalized" was such a strong word.] Besides, it was Halloween! [Those homeowners should've prepared themselves, or expected this. Come on, it was tradition! Sort of.]

Holidays are no excuse for delinquent behavior.

[She glares right back at him. What was she, a criminal? TP-ing houses wasn't a crime, it was a universally recognized prank! Sensing a possible grounding on the horizon and under pressure from this discussion, Kay snaps back - perhaps more harshly than she intended, because her next words are:]

Ugh! Mr. Edgeworth, you're not my dad! [So stop scolding her like one! Yes, she had compared him to her dad, but in the end, he...well, wasn't. Not quite. And this was not a life-threatening situation, this was only Halloween pranking.]

I may not be your father, but - [His words are cut short as he suddenly falls to the floor. Kay lets out a small scream of shock, all defiance gone. She quickly drops beside him; what was that all about? Was it something she said? On impulse, she checks his pulse (no pun intended). There is no reaction from him of any sort, no indication that he was going to continue chiding her...]

Aaaaah!

[...it seems to be a sleep coma. Kay knew those all too well; she had been in one for over a month. Yes, he was now asleep. Off-screen, she calls for help. When she stands up, she realizes that the Dreamberry she left somewhere has been recording this entire time. She will switch it off, but first...]

Stitch! Mr. Edgeworth's in a sleep coma!

[OOC: Just in case, blue is Kay and red is Edgeworth.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm okay...and yeah, he's just asleep. I don't think he's hurt, either.

That was surprising...though probably moreso for you. I've never actually witnessed someone fall into a sleep coma before. [usually they're kind of found that way.]

I assume you've already received help? [she did mention a Stitch person.]

Y-Yeah... [She just nods, her brow furrowed.]

And, Stitch is gonna put him to bed. I'll do the rest.

[nods.]

He'll be fine, Kay. He may not even remember what you two were discussing before.

I...I know, but...

[But she didn't want him to forget. If he did, she would tell him, and apologize for the pranks and for arguing with him.]

...I'm sorry, I only caught the tail end of your argument, though I didn't mean to hear it at all. Was it...important? [he doesn't want to really pry, but she seems kind of upset.]

...not really. And...it's okay, I didn't know my Dreamberry was on.

[Sort of. It was only because of pranks. But...still.]

You seem troubled about it, but I won't pry. [even if he's concerned, it's not his business.] If there's anything I can do, however, let me know.

Thanks, Kid. I will.

...And Miss von Karma is unavailable as well. Inspector Javert, too. [sighs.]

I'll see what I can do at the office. Do you know if Mr. Edgeworth had any cases or files that may need attending to?

I'm not su - wait, Miss von Karma and Inspector Javert? Are they in sleep comas too?

They haven't shown up to work nor have I been able to get into contact with them. I haven't personally checked, but it is unusual for them to not come to the office. Since their names are still on the contact list, I can only assume so.

Do you know where either of them live?

...ummm, I've never been to their houses before. Is there a directory or something?

There should be one at the office. I can look it up and see.

Right.

...

I...I want to help, but...Mr. Edgeworth is here and everything, so...

[Kay is torn between helping Kid (AND POSSIBLY BREAKING AND ENTERING?) find the missing leaders of the police force and making sure Edgeworth's fine.]

[just shakes his head.]

It's fine, Kay. You take care of Mr. Edgeworth and I'll look into the others.

...okay. I will. I hope you find them.

Likewise.

[and disconnecting the line to do just that. he'll just trace their soul signatures and see what state they're in. should be enough.]
