Do you take me for a child? [ Asks the thirteen year-old who's short for her age. ] That I would believe that the older me was abducted by an organization from the future and now lives in this seedy lodgings? If this is some foolish attempt to foolishly prevent me from being a prosecutor, then know this-- my Papa will hear about this. And he will not stop until you've been found guilty of all the crimes you have and might foolishly commit.

I won't too, once I've successfully passed the bar. I won't show you any mercy [ She swings her riding crop around as an example ], not even one minuscule bit.

[ Convinced that she has managed to intimidate her abductors with her message, young Franziska von Karma smiles. True to her nature, that smile comes off as snarky and condescending. ]

Of all the lies... time travel? Really? In the future, when I am prosecutor, all criminals won't escape punishment for their crimes. I won't be caught in a den of fools like this.

vidyo also an obnoxious placeholder!!

[ ... it had perhaps been too much to hope that Franziska would be left unafflicted. Turning the video feed on, he braces himself for any disparaging remarks about his appearance and speaks quietly: ]

Franziska, where are you now?

[perfectionisms]

[ Speaking of disparaging remarks. ]

Miles? You're old.

[ And it's gross. ]

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Wait, you can find your dad?

I haven't been able to find him since I got stuck here several days ago...

[perfectionisms]

He'll find me. My Papa isn't like your papa.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Yeah, except we're apparently in some kinda future? And our parents didn't come with?

[Sheesh, what a brat. Of perfectly normal and unremarkable height. (The great thing about treating this thing like an oversized phone is that she can't think exactly the same about him.)]

Get a grip, kid. If you're relying on some old man to get you out of this one, you're going to be disappointed.

[whatsupcroc]

Oh, you're a pretty awesome prosecutor, but um. That time travel thing isn't a lie, Franziska von Karma.

[nanite]

Yadda yadda. You look like a kid to me.

[perfectionisms]

We're not in the future. That's just one of the many lies people say like "Santa Claus is real" and "the economy's going to get better".

[perfectionisms]

I'm not a kid! And Papa's not an old man, he is at the prime of his life!

[perfectionisms]

I'm not one yet. But I will be and you're a liar.

[perfectionisms]

I'm a kid?! You don't look a day older than nine!

[whatsupcroc]

Not lying, but I know it does sound like i am! How old are you right now?

[perfectionisms]

I am thirteen years old. [ And proud. ]

Ahahaha awwh pointer Franz and yes sleep is good

[whatsupcroc]

I see! Okay, that explains things. Have you run into Miles Edgeworth yet? He's a bit older than you'd remember him right now. Oh! Do you have any real idea where you are? I don't think your dad is around, but I've been wrong before.

You're acting like one, talking like you don't have your own two feet to stand on. Your old man can't look after you forever. Just as well you're getting a head start out of this.

[nanite]

So? Kids can't tell when other people are kids too? Have you ever heard of 'takes one to know one'?

[have_hat_will_travel]

... What does the economy have to do with this?

... I need to reread that part of the rulebook...

[acemedium]

[This can't be possible... of all the things Maya's seen in Exsilium...]

[(Well, it wasn't as bad as extra-frilly Edgeworth, but]

M-Ms. Von Karma was cute?!

[perfectionisms]

The point is that people lie, and you have to be smart enough not to believe in everything you hear.

I can look after myself. Just because I look to my father for guidance does not mean that I can't look after myself.

Re: Ahahaha awwh pointer Franz and yes sleep is good

[perfectionisms]

I've seen Miles. He's old.

[perfectionisms]

An adult such as myself can tell too. Your argument is invalid.

[perfectionisms]

Objection! [ punctuated by the sound of a riding crop cutting through air ]

To be cute is to be diminutive and I am anything but!

[have_hat_will_travel]

... But Sense Motive's a Wisdom-based skill. And I think that's one of my dump stats...
