[faithlessly]

[ hello, tranquility. you remember dean, right? yes? no? either way, today finds him planning something stupid. at least act surprised. ]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm not looking forward to climbing back into that pod-thing for another jump. [ nope, not one bit. not if it means there's a chance he won't wake up for another month again. ]

Does anyone know what would happen if I skipped out on that? I mean, I guess turnin' into space dust's worse than pullin' another act of Sleeping Beauty, but if there's any way 'round that… Or if you have some gruesome tale 'bout how your buddy Joe tried it and got eaten by a space dinosaur, let's hear 'bout it.

[ let him know. or something.

a beat later, and on an entirely different subject; ] Also. Who the hell does a guy have to get cozy with 'round here to get somethin' more... fun in his locker? [ do yourself a solid and don't ask what's fun is. the smirk on his face should speak for him. it's gone with the next bit though; ] ...'cause not for nothing, but aside from people dyin' and monsters lurking in the dark, not a lot seems to happen 'round here. Almost like home, y'know, except for this bein' some sci-fi nerd's wet dream.

[ okay, maybe that's a little unfair considering he has to physically stop himself from losing his shit every time some iconic pop culture character decides to show up. ]

Surprise only ever gives marginal advantage.
You miss your chance, that's it blown.
Who?

I wouldn't miss it. I might not fight well, but I fight intelligently.

But I was thinking Soysauce. Reliable enough.

Fighting intelligently is tactics.
You need that + speed.
Should be me.

[Well, that sounds like a bad, bad idea.]

You're busy with other things, especially around the jump.

Then a thorough briefing would be much appreciated.

Not the kind of thing you can pass on like that, Edgeworth.

[But she can try with some of it.]

You forget half the shit I've been training you?
Can't just tell someone how someone fights.
Not all the way.

Tyke, ultimately, I'm telekinetic. I think I'll be fine.

[puppydogeyes]

So are demons.

[jurisimpudent]

Are you saying he's a demon?

[puppydogeyes]

No.
I'm saying he fights them.

[Well that's...interesting information...Still - ]

All the better, then. He'll think I'm something of the sort and use his usual techniques, which will be ineffective against me. And like I said, I'll have back-up.

He thinks I'm nothing more than some "wimp" who's bad at taking punches. I'll be fine, especially if there are two of us.

His usual techniques are killshots + then more cause they don't fucking die.

[This is sounding more and more like a bad idea to her, but she can think of just as many reasons why she shouldn't be the one to do it.]

I'll lay out some pointers for you later.
+ you'll need a tranq dose from medical.

[Well, that is...unnerving. But still, at least Tyke is agreeing not to do it herself; that's the important part.]

I'll get one.
