When no other bird dares to take flight...

[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.]

[ Warnings: Talk of murder but nothing too gory. I'll try to keep any Ace Attorney Investigations spoilers out of the comments as well, although the dream itself should be free of them - as long as you don't overthink the dream.
Effects: None. ]

( my defense is down so just give me a reason... )

[Kay switches on the phone. She is lying in bed and staring up at the Dreamberry she's holding up over her head. Sleepily she addresses her question as she brushes her tousled hair out of her face, out of her widening green eyes.]

...was that what they meant...about showing people's dreams?
