ataraxion | 006 ☀ video ☀ FORWARD-DATED to a few minutes POST-JUMP end

[ There are a few things everyone might notice about this video post. One is that there's no way Jaye could have gotten from the medbay to the kitchen on the 001 passenger floor this quickly. Two is that her hair looks both dirtier and longer than usual, and instead of either happily mussed or neatly groomed, it's just a complete mess. Three is that, judging by the way Jaye sort of seems to be wobbling back and forth on the floor and has burst capillaries in her face, she was just rather sick and might be so again. Likewise, anyone who looked around before or after the jump may have noticed that Jaye wasn't there -- didn't go down, didn't go into the gravity couches, and that Faith Lehane was looking after her animals. ]

So. [ Her voice is hoarse, quiet, and the rasp is completely new and sounds painful –- in fact, she has to pause, clearing her throat for a moment. It doesn't go away completely, but she's a bit louder, at least. ] I-- [ and she winces ] sat out during the jump as an insect. Don’t do that. It was a month. Everything was red, copper and salt, until it ended.

[ It hurts to talk, and Jaye takes a moment to rub at her throat. ] Want a shower, food.

[ She pauses, glancing away from the camera for a moment. Her eyes aren’t exactly wet, and maybe it's from her earlier vomiting, but either way... ] Missed you guys. [ And she cuts the feed. ]

((ooc: MCU!Tony will be getting her from the kitchen and carrying her down to medical. Her replies will probably come from after she's there and probably be in text form. If your character wants to go visit her there (or fuss at her or whatever), I'd be up for it, but be warned that she's having a bit of a hard time talking at the moment and will set Faith on you if she feels shitty.

Also someone might want to clean up the 001 kitchen. ))

Her, mostly. You're a side deal.

[Baffling - is that a yes or a no?]

It's all right. I wouldn't do anything to cause her harm.

[ yes exactly what she meant. ]

Yeah, Edgeworth, you would. Look, a guy like you? You got a lot of trust that Big Brother's looking out for you, the law's a friend, whatever. Whole world of difference from where chicks like us are at. You start your lawyer bullshit routine, she's gonna feel like she just got hassled by the cops again, or whatever.

She got hurt, she's all... just give her some time to get herself together before you start poking where it aches.

I don't...

[He frowns, because he doesn't quite know how to articulate that he has something of an understanding with Jaye. So instead, he focuses on what he can handle:]

The law is a friend, though. For the record. I know that's not completely the point you're trying to make, but I wish to articulate that.

Law's a friend if you got money or you already know how it works. For the rest of us, law's what screws everybody you know over.

[ lawyers are gross; hating cops is a prejudice faith won't ever fully shake. ]

Not at all. If it's - "screwing you over" - [And it's a mark of his strange sort of respect for her that he even utters something that profane - ] Then it is either being badly enforced or requires redress. The point of the law is to defend everyone, equally.

Yeah, well. Then the point's getting missed.

...look, whatever. I don't give a shit about the law, just... don't mess with her yet.

Well, I do. [And Miles Edgeworth crosses his arms thoughtfully - ] Come and talk with me about your quibbles with the law.

...what?

[ no really, what? ]

Qualms, then, if quibbles is too frivolous a word.

No-- I meant, why do you wanna do that?

[He frowns and blinks, surprised by her phraseology - ]

Er - you mean to ask what motivation would I give you for doing so?

Generally, people don't ask the muscle to talk law.

[ seriously edgeworth why are you asking her to debate her opinions she's a walking weapon ;; self esteem issuuuuuuuuuuuuuues ]

And I'm not asking your muscle. I'm asking your brain.

Same difference. You want the Watcher half of this thing if you wanna talk brains.

[ no seriously ]

No, I wish to speak with you.
