[Audio: feminine voice, breathing loudly, with concentrated effort. Several false starts for speech—a consonant, a syllable—before a long, shaking inhalation, silence, and a slow release. Then,]


Where did I go?

[It's a child's voice, which may ping some recognition.]

It was... night, wasn't it? I fell, I think, I remember falling, then...

... and I woke up, here, I—

Did I die?

[Noises in the background: something solid clatters against the ground, a thump. Shaky breathing.]

[Video: some fumbling, strange angles, ceiling-window-child. A young girl, somewhere between ten and thirteen, sits on the floor. She's a mess. Her face is smeared with dirt, and there are small clumps of dirt and rocks caught in her pigtailed greenish hair. Her clothes haven't fared any better: aside from the dust and grime, there's more than a few tears in the fabric. Her breathing is a little more even now, but she's still having a hard time of it; she looks like she hasn't slept in weeks.]


Rua?

I want to go home now.

SCREW DANGEROUS, I'M COMING EVEN IF YOU TELL ME NOT TO! [You can almost hear him doing the shonen heroboy point.]

RUA. Sit your butt down before Edgeworth sees you!

I believe the expression most often used in such situations as these is more commonly known as:

"Too late."

*dry laugh* Well, then. I thought I could convince him not to go, but you're there to grab him before he does anything stupid. So much the better.

Perhaps. I would certainly appreciate the assistance, however. It is, after all, common knowledge that willful children will discover a way to break free of their guardians' watch if they put their minds to it.
hackeralastair: (finally serious)

I'll do what I can.

...somebody's getting her, otherwise I would have broken out my bike and gone.

[identity profile] bluffing-ruffle.livejournal.com 2010-03-18 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
And I would be just as displeased with you as Rua.

Although it would not be my place to say so, as I am not your watcher.

...The notion is appreciated, however.

Hey. I've ridden my bike through hordes of zombies before. It would be nothing. *lies, he's afraid to do it*

[identity profile] bluffing-ruffle.livejournal.com 2010-03-18 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Have you, now.

[I don't need a magatama to detect when someone's full of it, sir.]
hackeralastair: (hmf)

*okay, fine, seriousface*

Yeah. Back in October when it happened.

Like hell you are, young man.

Get back in right this minute or I will freeze you to a chair.

[identity profile] strongest-tool.livejournal.com 2010-03-18 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FREEZE ME TO A CHAIR!
