09 △ VIDEO | FORWARD DATED TO THE 19TH

[neveraskedforthis]

[ Whoa, who's this guy showing up on your tablet screen all of a sudden... Adam Jensen after surgically getting the shades removed and somehow changing his eyecolor to blue-gray, it seems. He frowns deeply. ]

Hi. I've got something of a weird request. Probably.

[ ...Somehow he sounds different, too. Slightly less gravel, and is that inflection in his voice... ]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised given the nature of this place--or maybe it's really just me and premature Alzheimer's or something, but I'm having trouble recalling some things.

[ He briefly raises a hand--a perfectly normal, flesh and blood hand, at that--to his temple to rub at it. ]

...So if some of the guys I was talking to before could help jog my memory, I'd appreciate it. I'll be... at the precinct, in my office. Working. [ Yeah, still confused, but what can you do. As an afterthought before ending the feed, ]

It's probably a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone's seen or heard of Dr. Megan Reed? Just--

[ Yeah probably not. ]

...Nevermind.

[ And off he goes. Click. ]



(( ooc: forward dated with mod permission because next week will be busy for me! And just as a note, while I might use icons of augmented Adam, that's just because there isn't too much iconable material of pre-augs Adam. Until the end of the event he will have no roboparts or shades whatsoever and look like a completely ordinary human--and a few years younger. ))

Good question, guess that's another thing I can't quite place. Let's settle for 'last night'.

[bratworth]

Were you intoxicated?

[ Cutting to the chase!! ]

[neveraskedforthis]

Doubt it. I'm not a heavy drinker, and I don't have a hangover.

[bratworth]

[ Curiouser and curiouser. ]

So you've no recollection of yesterday? What of our ... trip into the Wild West?

[ Although 'trip' was probably putting it lightly. ]

[neveraskedforthis]

[ VERY curious. ]

Nh... only vaguely. That was yesterday?

[bratworth]

... In a manner of speaking. [ And then he really can't remain silent on this issue any longer. ] There's something different about you, Jensen.

[neveraskedforthis]

Excuse me? I know it's probably odd that I'm suddenly drawing a few blanks, but there's nothing exactly 'normal' about this place. For example I remember you just fine, Mr Farnsworth.

[ ....... close enough. ]

[bratworth]

Edgeworth. It's not only the memories, although I've not heard of that happening before. You ... look different, as well.

[neveraskedforthis]

Oh, right.

[ Whoops. Memory like a sieve right now, it seems. ]

Different how? Admittedly I couldn't be bothered to shave recently, but.

[bratworth]

[ You have real arms feels like a social faux pas even to Miles Edgeworth, so finally he decides on: ]

... Younger.

[neveraskedforthis]

Why, I'll take that as a compliment. Age can be pretty damn persistent once it starts creeping up on you.

[ Yeah the implications, they fly right over his head. Because really. ]

Would you like to continue this conversation over some coffee?

[ THEREEE we go. ]

[bratworth]

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

Do you have some sort of aversion to talking over the network?

[neveraskedforthis]

It's terribly impersonal, no? I'm not working right now.

[bratworth]

I am.

[neveraskedforthis]

... By talking to me?

[bratworth]

... It's called multitasking. [ But, okay, maybe he shouldn't let Mia catch him using his tablet during work hours again - sooo. ]

Lunch?

[neveraskedforthis]

Sure. Haven't had any today yet.

[bratworth]

... To clarify, I wasn't offering to buy you any. That's just when I'm free next.

[neveraskedforthis]

I wasn't expecting you to.

[ ... really! ]

If anything, it'll be my treat.

[bratworth]

[ Yeah, whatever, he doesn't believe that for a moment. Edgeworth thinks it would be just like Adam to try and mooch a free meal! ]

Meet me at half past one in the lobby of the police building.

Don't be late.

[neveraskedforthis]

[ You're gonna be surprised, Edgeworth. ]

Copy that.

[ He's not even late! ]
