Everyone breathing okay?

[One easygoing looking man grins into the camera. He just got his netbook after the bombing ordeal calmed down a bit and he's been fiddling with it all day! Now he knows how to use it and he's so proud of himself.]

Yes? Nice to meet you. The Initiative brought me in to help out this Resistance project of theirs, so I guess that makes us comrades? That's nice. You know what they say about friendship.

[What do they say about friendship, Nick? He has no clue.]

Anyway... I actually had a question. Is there anywhere around here I could find some playing cards? I was talking to someone down in the tunnels last week and thought game night might be a fun thing to do sometime. Maybe poker for some fun prizes? Haha.

[... He does not introduce himself. He thought it might make him mysterious, and it'll be a way to start a conversation later, right?]

Her? No offense, but in that case I'm really glad you showed up!

[The way Kotetsu worded that worries him for a second.]

... What do you mean?

It's bad enough for a kid like that to be here at all, but she definitely shouldn't be by herself.

[aceordisgraced]

[First, he chuckles.]

Phew! I thought you were going to say she got in trouble or something.

[Then a pause and a more serious tone.]

I feel the same. I'm glad I can be nearby to keep her out of danger now.

Nah, you've got nothing to worry about there! She's a really good kid. Kind of reminds me of my own daughter.

[aceordisgraced]

I'll fight if you try to take my daughter, I'll warn you right now ♥

Your daughter?

[A short laugh.]

It sounds like she's in good hands now.

My kid's not here, but she's probably only a few years younger than Trucy.

I try to be a good dad. Although I wouldn't say she was in bad hands, unless she hasn't spoken to the others yet.

How old's your daughter?

[sidecar]

The others? You guys have a lot of friends from home here or something?

[Even just mentioning her age brings up a bit of Proud Dad Mode.] She's eleven!

[aceordisgraced]

Eleven, huh? I remember when Trucy was that age... I bet she's pretty energetic?

And I do. With me included, there's five of us here now.

[He winces just a bit, because ahaha, pre-teen with superpowers.]

I guess that's one word for it!

Geez, sounds like the Initiative really likes you guys. At least you'll have a lot of help settling in.

[aceordisgraced]

Do you think so? I thought so, too! But Edgeworth and Miss von Karma definitely aren't the super accommodating type, you know? At least I've got Truce.

The prosecutors? [Sliiight sympathy wince.]

So they're always as serious as they've been acting here?

video;

[aceordisgraced]

Do you know them? I can't talk badly behind their backs!

video;

[sidecar]

Not really, but I've seen them around on here. They both kind of make an impression, y'know?

video;

[aceordisgraced]

It must be the frills.

Everyone remembered those back home, too.
