So.

[ well hey, you guys, have a new face on the feed today. he's one of the new arrivals, trying to get used to this new space lifestyle!! which means friends are... probably a good thing. maybe. he's not sure yet, but he knows he needs to meet people. the ~general populace~, so to speak. ]

Space, huh?

[ wait no. he kind of frowns at that. worst opener. but then he considers all the posts that he's seen (memorized) since he's arrived and well, this ain't so bad. ]

I was... woooonnndering, uh. How many of you are from... New York City? Circa... 2011 or 2012. Ish.

[ man this is chalking up to be one of the most awkward experiences of his life. it's just-- this is like skype alright, except when you use skype you usually know who you're talking to-- here? way different. haha posting to a network, that's weird.

he is usually not this bad but you are also all strangers so. yeah. wait, here's a good idea. i mean, he has a lot of free time now so-- ]

Oh yeah and uh, does anyone know where I could get a camera? Thanks.

[ does he end the post now DOES HE END THE POST NOW he totally ends the post now! yes! good job, mike ross. you successfully completed the goal of posting a video post to the network. next time, maybe have an idea of what you want to talk about beforehand. ]

I, um - [He pulls a slight face, embarrassed over that um - ] I will...see if it can be arranged. [A quick moment of hesitation - ] I'll warn you, though, that he can be very...brusque. He might come off as being quite unkind to you. I do assure you that it won't be that he'll dislike you; he'll just have other things on his mind.

[And then he clears his throat. Playing on the ego did work rather nicely.]

In any case...I do see what you're saying. But I was trying to help him. There is nothing that can keep someone sane here like having direction, and I was trying to provide that.

I can take it, I promise.

[ she thought it might. ]

I know you were, hon. But sometimes you can be a little brusque yourself-- he might not have realized you were trying to help him out.

Very well. I'll arrange it, and then by your leave, ah - perhaps prepare you with a few talking points.

[He clears his throat.]

In any case, though - the only important thing is whether or not he does take up work here. Not my feelings or his. Though I do respect you trying to defend him.

I promise I won't embarrass you-- no index cards needed. I know I don't act like it in my personal life, but I do a pretty good formal.

[ not offended, just... confident. ]

You're wrong there, but thank you.

No, I know. It's just...I...have perfect faith in you. But he is - In any case. Yes. In any case.

Forgive me, though; about what am I wrong?

Your feelings do matter.

Er - well...I - I'm flattered you think so.

I don't think, I know.

That feelings are...important.

That your feelings are important to me.

...Oh. Well, I, um...Erm.

[His face is phenomenally embarrassed, enormously self-conscious - and perhaps, underneath that, just a little bit pleased.]

Er...Likewise. Ergo. Verily. Yes.

I'm glad we agree.

[ oh miles you are her most precious lamb. ]

Indeed. Well, erm - good day, then, Jenna.

You too, Miles.

...and go easy on Mike, okay? He's new-- you remember how overwhelming that is. Give him some time, you guys can argue torts-- not the dessert kinds, and check out that legal knowledge-- to your heart's content.

[ don't ask her if she knows what tort law is-- 'not about dessert despite the misleading name, bummer' is her best answer. ]

I thought you wanted me to stop that tort-ure.

Edited 2012-10-22 18:07 (UTC)

[A pause, and then he makes a face that's halfway between embarrassed and disgusted.]

...I apologize deeply for that.

You made a joke-- Miles, you made an awful joke.

[ and jenna is going to burst at the seams with pride now okay. ]

And let's keep that between us, please.

Are you kidding? Of course it's staying between us-- I get to be smug that I got Miles Edgeworth to join me in making horrible law puns, I'm not sharing that.

[He looks up; something in that sentiment makes him...oddly happy. So he smiles at her, shyly, and then ducks his head.]

Good. I've a reputation to maintain.

Your secrets are my secrets, kiddo.

[ :D :D :D come on, edgeworth, make a face at her. ]

[He....makes a face.]

"Kiddo"?

Thought you might like that one.

It's terrible. And inaccurate. I'm an adult.

You are-- only six and half years younger than me, even.
