[ There’s a very serious if rather haggard looking boy on the network. His appearance could be due to not getting enough sleep, enough food, or both. It’s hard to say. ]

My name is Miles – uh, Morales. Sorry Mr. Edgeworth, I forgot for a second. I wanted to ask – there aren’t real police here, are there? Not the kind that put people in jail. [ H’s already frowning at his communicator, but that frown gets a little deeper. He’s already got a pretty clear idea of the answer just from reading the network and watching the goings-on in the ship for the last couple of days. Still, he could be wrong… ] There aren’t any jails, either.

Though I don’t know if colony ships are supposed to have that kind of stuff or not. [ Or even if they are, if this one ever did. There’s still too much that he doesn’t know – even if some of it is more mundane and awkward to deal with. Which is why he’s back a little bit later: ]

But there’s, uh…a place to clean your clothes, right?[ An uncomfortable pause. ] And a place to take a shower by yourself?

[ And last but not least, to try to cover up the embarrassment from those last two questions and before he loses his nerve: ] Is there anybody else here from New York?

[jurisimpudent]

Good day, Mr. Morales.

There is actually a "brig." The problem is that who is put in there tends to be...arbitrary.

[voice]

[howdoishot]

[ ...who even greets people like that. ]

Aren't those only on boats?

[helpmeguideit]

I'm from New York, Miles.

[howdoishot]

[ Oh, huh, he would've thought maybe Britain.

Or something. ] You teach there?

[swagneto]

There is a security force here, but unless you're inclined to piss off a few, I doubt anyone will.

[ Besides, you're a kid, Miles. If that's anything to go by, Erik really doubts Kirk and the others would be inclined to do such a thing. He's missing his helmet, except the familiar frown at the realization of another young adult being here, at the fact that the ship was inclined to allow this to continue. ]

Westchester, New York, to answer your last question. [ Erik shrugs lightly at that, though it's not quite the truth either; it was his last place of residence, but certainly not where Erik would consider home. ]

[howdoishot]

[ Erik is going to receive the same kind of confused frown that Charles did, because it's not nice to confuse people like that. Not that there's not a lot of different types of people in New York, but still...

Well. At least he's getting a few answers. ] Who are they? I mean, can we talk to them?

[ He could have talked to them already, for all he knows. ] Oh, but have you ever been to Brooklyn?

[dirtyword]

[ there's two Miles. Hopefully this one isn't as annoying. ]

Works a lot like a dormitory, the ship. Can't say much about the Brig.

[howdoishot]

[ Oh well he knows those. ] Are the only people in charge the captain and that lady?

[ He thinks it's a captain and lady, anyway. ]

[allucinator]

Oye, I am! Which bit you from?

[howdoishot]

[ Bl--ink. ] Brooklyn.

You...?

[maredementis]

[He reminds her of Lamb.

No reason for that--Lamb is dark but not as dark as Miles, their faces are alike but only so much--except for the charm and gentleness of his teenaged fumbling.

Annie likes him instantly.]

I could wash your clothes, if you want.

[howdoishot]

[ That is not one of the questions he actually expected to get answered. ] You - could?

I don't have any money or anything.

voice;

[motioned]

[Completely sincere:]

What's a police? I've never heard of something like that before, or a jail.

voice;

[howdoishot]

You -

Uh.

Really?

voice

[righteoushog]

[ SO BRIGHTLY: ] I'm from New York. The name's Brooklyn.

And, uh— you learn anything about the police yet?

voice

[howdoishot]

Your...name's Brooklyn?

No, uh, not yet.

video;

[entrapments]

Are you in some kinda trouble?

video;

[howdoishot]

Me...?

No, no. I haven't done anything.

video;

[heltersskelter]

Nope, no private showers.

video;

[howdoishot]

Not anywhere?

[nukeit]

We can probably rig up one of the stalls to be more private, if you wanted. As far as really, truly private, I don't think there's so many easy options for that. Guess it leaves it up to us to think creatively, hmm?

[ His question on the police... and his conversations above with others already highlights how it's problematic. ]

The brig would have worked for the original colonists. They'd have been working under a unified charter, something we don't have working for us right now.

[howdoishot]

You don't have to do all kinds of stuff for me, I was just asking. [ If it doesn't bother anybody else I shouldn't complain.

Even if it's sort of gross. ] I didn't think we did.

Rules don't work unless everybody agrees to follow them, huh.

[ Olivia's pinged by the question about police, even if she's not on the security team, because people who are asking for police generally need them. ]

Did something happen?

video; encrypted 95%

[howdoishot]

Not to me; just the stuff that happened during the, uh, the jump.

People died.

[slayer_not_player]

[Tillman's expression is serious, his concern obvious, but all in all he keeps the hard edges from his eyes and voice because he's dealing with a kid.] I'm on the ship's security team. Did somebody give you trouble?

video;

[howdoishot]

[ This is Miles trying to be reassuring, his hands up as if to ward off suspicion that he's trying to find out if there's need and room for any Spider-men on this ship. ] No, no. I'm okay, nothing happened.

I just wanted to know. It's - important, right? There's nobody to count on but each other.
