Chapter 2 [voice]

[bittertears]

I had thought that the answer was clear, but considering what we were recently put through...

I'm having difficulty deciding which one I find more insufferable between The Initiative and the United Earth.

Perhaps some of you would like to share your thoughts on the matter?

We shall have to wait and see, which is hardly my preferred choice.

voice;

[bratworth]

Yes, but it is not something we have to do independent of other actions. We could... begin to prepare ourselves as well.

voice;

[bittertears]

Prepare ourselves how? If you'll indulge my ever-present curiosity.

voice;

[bratworth]

Of course. There's this woman, Fiona, who is organizing a group meeting for those interested in helping defend and protect each other. I believe it's in a few days from now. It was supposed to happen last week, but given recent events, it was obviously postponed. [ A beat. ]

I, along with a few others, are looking to instate some manner of judicial system in this place, but that project will, of course, take quite a bit of time.

voice;

[bittertears]

Crafting a judicial system for the lot of us here? That would be quite the sight to behold.

[Though she's cynical enough that she doesn't think it'll do much, if it even gets up and running.]

You've had prior experience in such manners?

voice;

[bratworth]

I am a prosecuting attorney, yes.

voice;

[bittertears]

[Oh boy, lawmen...]

Then I shall introduce myself as Alice.

Alice Liddell.

voice;

[bratworth]

Miles Edgeworth.

[ As they're exchanging names and all. ]

voice;

[bittertears]

You've been a... prosecuting attorney for how long?

voice;

[bratworth]

[ He's starting to severely dislike this question. ]

Six months.

[ The most impressive sounding answer he can come up with while still being technically correct - the best kind of correct! ]

voice;

[bittertears]

[Blame a certain someone's curiosity!!]

Half a year? I had thought it was longer than that, considering how you carried yourself.

[Then again, what does she know.]

voice;

[bratworth]

[ Well, that's... somewhat flattering, to say the least. ]

I had been studying under the tutelage of the best prosecutors of my time. [ And reality, but that goes unsaid. Besides, if there's a prosecutor out there better than Manfred von Karma, Edgeworth would like to meet him. ]

voice;

[bittertears]

The best prosecutors... Is that so? That shall say quite a bit about you as well.

voice;

[bratworth]

[ Unsure of what she's implying with that, he offers: ]

It means I work hard.

voice;

[bittertears]

Then I expect you'll continue to put forth that same effort here.

voice;

[bratworth]

I will.
