So— let me get this straight.
[ Veronica looks sweaty because, you know, apparently the Tranquility believes it's in the tropics in space. She makes a face, wiping her brow with the back of her hand. ]
My laptop, somehow, needs to get recharged. My camera seems to be busted, because it's either that, or everyone has seven days to live, and I'm trying this thing called optimism. I'm all out of crosswords, this is not the vacation that I signed up for, and apparently there is a big giant monster only some people can see that wants to kill us. [ That, and people here either seem to spend their time drunk as hell or being big mystical beings who do mystic things. (Veronica is not worried. Veronica is not worried because Veronica has accepted that this is, like, at least 81% real, and by that juncture the rest of it is just— you roll with the punches. You adapt. You try really, really hard to distract yourself by doing literally any job that falls into your lap.)
That's her. Veronica Mars, modern college girl on the go: the sequel.
In space. ]
I'm already helping Edgeworth, but if anyone wants me to do an odd job, point me in that direction. You'd be doing me a favor — it's better than just sitting around, trying to deal with the fact I really should have listened more to my AP Physics teacher when he talked about string theory. And, uh—
[ She pauses, her nose wrinkling. ]
I've never— This— whole inter-dimensional science fiction thing? Is new to me. So if there's some kind of, cultural, verbal address that would be more polite when it comes to people who aren't— humanesque, I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in.
[ God, how is this real. Still hallucinating? Maybe. It's definitely hot enough to be. ]

A girl can only hope, wish and dream.

anyway, speaking of gossip girl. ]
So, Edgeworth.
video;
[ What about him Luke-Josh!!! ]
video;
[ because as far as he can tell, you're mostly just very nosy. actually... ]
Please don't tell me you're helping him come up with more invasive surveys.
not here

video;
He's got me doing his paperwork.
[ A beat, then she squints into the camera. Sing-song: ]
You were thinking something tawwwdry!
video;
Well, I wasn't until you said "he's got me doing his paperwork".
[ which is true, but also totally a joke. he knows edgeworth better than that, if nothing else. ]
But paperwork— what, is that filing said invasive surveys? Putting them in order from "most combative" to "most gullible"?
video;
And on Wednesdays we list everyone from 'most fashionable' to 'least'.
video;
Were you into law back home?
video;
Criminology, actually. But I used to do a lot of paperwork for my dad.
video;
But really, he's a good guy. I'm glad you're keeping busy.
video;
[ BIG MISTAKE. ]
Persnickety?
video;
[ he might've gone with nosy. ]
Sort of had you pegged for a journalism major. The kind who wants to be Lois Lane, not the kind who can't figure out what else to major in.
video;
Private Investigator? Criminology? Are you not making that connection?
video;
Oooooh. Well, yes, I'm making it now. That'd explain the thing with the camera. How many numbers did you manage to get, by the way?
[ as in photos of tattoos, but yes, the joke's intentional. ]
video;
Oh, you stop it. [ Fake batting at the screen. ] You know a lady doesn't snap and tell.
video;
Right, whatever, keep your sordid space investigations to yourself. I've had enough to last me a lifetime. But seriously, I'm glad you're settling in okay.
