[ Well, hey TQ, hope you don't mind this fresh face on the network. She normally sticks to texting because if it looks like a phone and acts like a (kind of sci-fi upgraded) phone, why not use it like one? But she's been going through the other features — slow day on the ship, you know how it is — and after rifling through everything she can easily find on the communicator, she decides to post up a video.

So here's a young, teenaged girl setting the comm in front of her before she sits down cross-legged and twirls a lock of her hair. Alas, it's got less of a bounce than it normally does, but that's what lack of hot rollers on a ship will do. ]

If I write my best essay and promise to stay on my best behavior after, am I allowed to leave Space Detention? I mean, I haven't even gotten to mess around in a library, so this kind of blows.

[ she smiles because she's kind of hoping someone will catch the reference. If not, then well: ] Or are we all waiting for some big, space musical number?

Are there even any boomboxes to hold up outside that red smiley thing's window? If it has one. [ seriously, what is up with that thing. ] Also, I guess it'd have to be this phone thing, since I don't have an iPod anymore.

[ She lets out a very put upon sigh before admitting something you never would have guessed!! clearly!! But it's followed by a smile that's all teeth and too much eyelash batting. ]

Okay, so I'm bored. And I can't really miss anyone who left, since I just got here. [ not even touching whatever's up with the masks. ] You'd think the aliens would be able to hook us up with better movie selections or something.

I don't suppose there's someone on here with something entertaining to do?

Why ever would you think that? I'm just your average girl looking to research things. In a library.

[ even using her most serious tone and everything. ]

[jurisimpudent]

Because you seemed to be amused. That is why I would think that.

[emerges]

Maybe the idea of spending all day in the library just totally does it for me.

[jurisimpudent]

...Hmph. Well, I would hope it does. More young people should be spending time in scholarly pursuits.

[emerges]

Is there a space school?

[ please say no. although, maybe she wouldn't mind it sooo much. ]

[jurisimpudent]

We're trying to get something arranged, yes.

[emerges]

Seriously?

[ BUT WHY THO. ]

[jurisimpudent]

Do I strike you as the joking sort?

[emerges]

No, you kind of strike me as more of a needs to loosen up sort. [ just her professional opinion. ]

But, school in space — you can't really make anyone go, right?

[jurisimpudent]

...No. It will not be compulsory, unfortunately. But you are of the age where you should be going to school, are you not?

[emerges]

[ SHIFTY EYES. ]

What if I said no.....

[jurisimpudent]

Then I would know you're prone to lying.

[emerges]

It was just a what if. But you said it wouldn't be compulsory anyways.

[jurisimpudent]

Which is why there's no point to lying.

[emerges]

Is that a crime?

[jurisimpudent]

No, it's not. I'm just pointing out that there's no reason to do it.

[emerges]

You sound pretty set on the matter. You're not a teacher, are you?

[ because you remind her of her chem teacher :| ]

[jurisimpudent]

Though I would volunteer to teach classes here, perhaps - no. I am not a teacher by profession.

[emerges]

Policeman? [ 20 guess what careers Edgeworth is questions? ]

[jurisimpudent]

Prosecutor.

[emerges]

[ ooooh ]

Does this mean there's a space court? [ a beat. ]

Are you the space Judge Judy?

[jurisimpudent]

I said I'm a prosecutor, not a judge.

In any case. At the present time, we've no court system; that will change.

[emerges]

Tomato, tomahto.

[ she's a teenager, not a lawyer ]

But how do you decide what the laws are going to be?

[jurisimpudent]

We will, of course, hold a vote.

[emerges]

Does everyone get to vote?

[ you know age wise and all ]
