[Her phone doesn't work, at least past turning on and telling her there's no reception. She can play Angry Birds all day long if she wanted to, though, which is how Angela spent her first couple of nights in this place, but it's time to be social. This what brings her face on the network feed via the comm device.]

I'm going to accept the fact that I'm--we're all stuck here. Fantastic. [Only not.] I'm going to pretend that instead of a spaceship, this is an airplane taking us to an all expense paid trip to an island full of cabana boys and rum and we're riding in first class. How's that sound?

[Not too good. Not even to her.]

Yeah, I didn't think that would work either. So I guess I might as well introduce myself. My name is Angela Montenegro. I'm from Washington D.C. which is back on Earth. The big round blue thing I'm hoping the Tranquility passes sooner or later. I'm an artist, but I also do some computer work at the Jeffersonian. Have any of you heard of that place? Please say yes so I'm sure I'm not the only person from my world here.

[Sorry, Ange, but you are. Deal with it.]

[thenormalsquint]

You asked. I'm just answering. Don't ask things you don't want to know.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

You're the one acting as though romance is remotely relevant!

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

Love is always relevant. If you're still breathing, you're in need of it in some way, shape, or form.

[Though romance is a different sort of love, Angela suspects Edgeworth doesn't even get a hug.]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Er...That is false.

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

You're in denial.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Madam, I think we have known each other a rather short time for you to be saying that.

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

Not really. I can tell from a mile away.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

You have never even seen my face. You know not my biography nor my background.

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

I don't need to know all that to read people.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Right. So tell me - what sort of art do you do?

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

I mostly get paid for forensic facial reconstruction, but my true love lies in painting and charcoals.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

And what subjects do you often draw.

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

Dead people.

[Said flatly.]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Er - from...choice?

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

Not if I can help it.

Re: [voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I'm asking about what you draw when you have a choice.

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

Living things. Nature. The world I see around me. Whatever the muses hit me with. I don't necessarily limit myself except for that one category.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Detail to me your favorite piece that you have done.

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

You're very demanding. What's the magic word?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Abracadabra? I'm not certain what you're trying to say here.

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

[Somewhere, off in the distance, is a loud thunk. The sound of a head hitting a desk.]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[Alarming.]

Is everything all right?

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

Please. The word is please.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Is everything all right, please?

[voice]

[thenormalsquint]

I'm not drunk enough for this.
