Good day. This is Miles Edgeworth.

These past days have been chaotic, and as such it has been easy to lose track of time; however, it must be remembered that in spite of everything that has happened we have received no indication that the jump will not go forward as scheduled. It will occur in five days. Please bear this impending deadline in mind; there will be more reminders as we approach the event, but be sure that you are prepared.

I manage a service, in which I recommend that all individuals on board to take part. It is a "buddy system," in which you are assigned someone to check to ensure that you have made it safely to the jump. For more details, please inquire here.

Additionally, if any are interested in joining the security force, please speak with me; I should be glad to direct you the right way.

[A slight pause. He's searching frantically for distraction, but this isn't enough - so he adds more.]

What languages does everyone speak? I should like to find a conversational partner; my skills are becoming rusty.

[And:]

I should also like someone with whom I might be able to discuss certain aspects of physics.

[And then another pause, and then quietly:]

Quite.

To the pain. There's too many people here who haven't heard of real culture. Edgeworth's just a tiny fraction of the confused masses. And not even just that movie, any movie. I'd force the entire ship to sit through Zardoz if it meant that we all had common ground in that we all accept that it's the worst movie Sean Connery ever made.

--Conan. This ship needs so much more Ahnold.

[andblockbuster]

Terminator. Then I wouldn't have to keep explaining what Skynet is.

[Guess who doesn't know John's real last name is Conner.

This guy.]

pretending i don't know kyle's name is painful even in rp know this and appreciate MY SACRIFICE!!!11

[unparental]

...and we even had our 'come with me if you want to live' moment. What if we got what's his name, cute love interest guy, to read Smiley's stuff from now on? It's like the perfect marriage of geek and 'we're all going crazy anyway'.

I HAVE BEEN THERE. SOBBING.

[andblockbuster]

I, for one, would be way more reassured if Smiley was Michael Biehn in any form.

YOU UNDERSTAND MY SOUL FEELINGS also i watched the black rock episode last night and had THOUGHTS

[unparental]

I think I would too.

...I can't decide if we're shallow, hopeless, or just reasonable.

YOU SHOULD PPLURK ME THOSE THOUGHTS WHEN YOU FEEL BETTER. :D

[andblockbuster]

Reasonable. Definitely reasonable.

OH I AM ABOUT TO

[unparental]

I knew I liked you for a reason, even if you find me hideous and repulsive and may have emotionally scarred me for the rest of my really long life.

[ she's messing with you again, topher. ]

[andblockbuster]

Pretty sure those weren't the words I used. [SOBBING INTERNALLY.]

[unparental]

...you don't flirt a lot, huh?

[ oh topher it's kind of adorable. sad, but adorable. ]

Don't worry, there's not even an emotional bruise.

[andblockbuster]

Not often and not very well. Jake thinks I ought to have women falling all over me, but I think this proves why I don't.

My charm offensive is mostly just offensive, but... That's good to know.

[unparental]

Have you tried not responding with silence when people hit on you? I find that helps.

[andblockbuster]

I was caught off-guard! You played dirty and disarmed me with that... incredibly random non-sequitur.

[unparental]

Uh-huh.

[jurisimpudent]

[Jesus God what are you two even talking about]

[unparental]

[ A POP OF CULTURE, MILES
