key 006 ☄ [video; aaaaaand the thief is now legal]

[yatagarasu]

[Ah, December 9. Just another ordinary day for many of you guys, but not for this thief (at least, according to my headcanon). She's beaming over the network...beaming so much even though her hair is still loose and not yet restrained in its usual ponytail and massive key hairpin. At least she's already out of her pajamas. And she has long since recovered from her injuries from trying to take on that giant statue, oh yes.]

As of today, I'm officially eighteen years old! I can't believe I've been in Somarium long enough to actually celebrate my birthday in it! Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...

[She stops in mid-song, then snaps her fingers as if she discovered something way important. Then she proceeds with tying her hair.]

I should get myself a present. But I don't have a lot of money...maybe my present to myself should be a job, and then I can buy a real present. Even great thieves like me need day jobs! Especially since I haven't found any good truths lately...Somarium's good at keeping them all locked up...

[Aaaaaand that hairpin will now slide smoothly into her ponytail.] Or better yet, I should start asking Mr. Edgeworth to pay me for my assistant services! Hey, Mr. Edgeworth! If you can see this, you should probably start paying me from now on!

[...Kay, as if you weren't enough of a freeloader already. You hang out at his place far too often.]

In that case, yes. I did get you a present.

(Sigh... what ever happened to the tradition of waiting until the end of the day to open gifts?)

You will see in due time.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

All right! I can't wait!

Oh, and are you gonna pay me now too?

[prosecutes]

[Drat. He was hoping she would forget about that.]

As for that... I can see about finding you a job with the police department, possibly even within the prosecutor's office.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'll still be your assistant, right? I just need a day job.

[prosecutes]

Yes, that is fine. [He's grown used to her being around just about all the time, not that he'd admit it so readily.] Did you have anything in particular in mind for said day job?

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Ummm...I dunno. I hope it's something that involves investigating. Or anything like that.

[prosecutes]

An official job with the investigation team has many requirements. [But when it comes to un-official, there's nothing really stopping her from coming along.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I can handle it! [Nothing stops her from tagging along, anyway.]

[prosecutes]

The proper training and certification can be tedious. Are you sure you're up to the task?

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

I'm up for anything! [Except maybe statues with whirling knives, but never mind.]

[prosecutes]

In that case, I will see about finding you an apprenticeship within the crime scene analysis department.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Yay! [This excitement, you cannot deny it.] But first, since it's my birthday, we should have some fun!

[Apparently going to a cafe with Hikaru and having tea with Franziska weren't going to be enough to satisfy her.]

[prosecutes]

Well, it is a Friday, so I suppose I could take a half-day.

[But that's not good enough for her, is it?]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Just half? Come on, don't be so stingy!

[NOPE.JPG.]

[prosecutes]

S-stingy?

[HIS WORK IS IMPORTANT OKAY]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

What's one whole day off? Besides, I'm also doing you a favor!

[WHAT IS ONE DAY WITH YOUR FAVORITE ASSISTANT?]

[prosecutes]

[And here he thought he could get away with ordering her a fancy cake (swiss chocolate!) and celebrating in the evening, after work.]

I have a trial scheduled for today. Asking someone to take my place as prosecutor at the last minute wouldn't be very nice of me, would it? [Though it's not really being 'nice' he cares about, he just wants to make sure that this particular defendant is found guilty because they totally are.]

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

...Darn. [He's right, of course. As a prosecutor's daughter, Kay knows better than to pull him away from a trial. Even if she would really rather pull him away. Anyway, while he was in court, she still had her day with Hikaru - and later on, tea with Franziska. Possibly a lot of other things.]

Okay, but after work we're celebrating.

[prosecutes]

[He briefly checks his watch. It's still early in the morning and if he leaves now, he can accomplish everything and be completely ready to go by the time his trial is over.]

I should be done by no later than three in the afternoon.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

I'll be waiting! Or rather, Stitch, Apollo and I will be waiting.

[prosecutes]

Until then.

[dedikayted.livejournal.com]

Don't work too hard!
