Hi. [She waves at the camera.] Me again. Two questions:

One, does anybody know how to use a taser? If so, mind giving me some lessons? I could have asked the girl who gave it to me, but I wasn't thinking at the moment. In fact, what about self-defense classes? I get the feeling that not everything comes in peace here.

[Please don't tell her about any butt-probing horror stories.]

Two, I'm dying of boredom. No, pretending didn't work so don't ask. I didn't think I would ever say this, but I'm looking for one of the jobs here. While I am an artist, I did minor in computer science. I know how to write programs, troubleshoot, so on and so forth. [She left out the part about knowing how to hack.] There has to be some computer thing I can do on the spaceship before I lose my mind.


[Filtered to Edgeworth]

I was drunk. That's my story. The big feet thing was true, though.

[You bet your ass she is.]

You know that moment when you realize that you've noticed something super important way too late? I'm having that moment right now. This is why I hate these things. So impersonal.

[ no stop he can only be a dick in response ]

It's funny you should say that because that is exactly what I said to myself before everything went black. What a funny coincidence, huh?

[thenormalsquint]

[And there's a snort of a laugh that slips out before she can stop it. Damn it.]

Fuck. No, I'm really am sorry.

[mingus]

Stop apologizing. It's really not a big deal. I'm blind, yeah. My name is also August but you can call me Auggie. After all, that's what all my friends do.

[thenormalsquint]

Well, now I'm apologizing because I laughed at your joke. Totally a different apology this time.

video;

[mingus]

Oh come on, I wouldn't have told it if I didn't want you to laugh. It's honestly better that way.

[thenormalsquint]

Well, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? I'm Angela.

video;

[mingus]

Exactly! And I am a hilarious blind man, let me tell you. Nice to meet you, Angela.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

I wouldn't say hilarious, now. You've only told one joke. You have to work for the title.

video;

[mingus]

Huh! It's been a while since I've had to prove it. [ He grins. ] But I guess I can try. In fact, you won't even see it coming.

[ A beat and he frowns a little. ]

Actually, neither will I for that matter.

[thenormalsquint]

That was just terrible. That doesn't even score any points. Booooo. Get off the stage!

[Yet, she is actually laughing. She likes you, Auggie.]

video;

[mingus]

[ He grins even wider! Oh, this is great. ]

Fine, fine. Put it out of sight and out of mind. -- Oh wait.

[ Oh no he's being terrible again. ]

[thenormalsquint]

Eventually, you're going to run out of material.

video;

[mingus]

I highly doubt that. I have a fresh audience, after all.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

You have a limited audience, though. And then what if somebody else comes along and steals your jokes?

video;

[mingus]

I'll tell you a secret. Most of them are just wordplay.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

[A gasp.]

No way. I would have never guessed.

video;

[mingus]

Eh, don't worry. Not many people do!

[ :'D ]

video;

[thenormalsquint]

I think you should be the on ship entertainment.

video;

[mingus]

Please, my humor is effortless and natural. I couldn't do it on cue.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

Liar. I bet you have it all written down somewhere.

video;

[mingus]

[ just spreads his hands in a shrug ]

That is too easy. I won't even take it.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

Maybe you got somebody else writing your stuff.

video;

[mingus]

As far as I can tell, no one from my home is here -- which means, got no one to write them for me.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

That doesn't mean anything. You could have met somebody on here. Maybe had them written for you and had them in your locker. Come on. You have better excuses than that.
