[open RP meme] The "pester Edgeworth in his office" post, Dreamwidth edition

[truthsnomiracle]

[Chances are, when you enter room 1202 of the Prosecutor's Office, you'll find High Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth hard at work. He learned the hard way not to be too quick to throw people out when they interrupt him, so as annoyed as he probably will be once he notices your presence, you'll more likely than not get a sufficient chance to justify yourself. Usually.]

[To help clarify the purpose of this post, this is someplace anyone can come tag me if they want -- just start a thread and specify Canonworth, TVKworth, or any other preference! Canons, AUs, OCs, and canon OCs welcome, both AA and non-AA!]

I suppose he would. (Certainly that would result in a far more positive salary evaluation for him.)

[yatagarasu]

You could always tell whoever will be giving you the reward that you'd rather have a new suit and a new cellphone instead of money.

[truthsnomiracle]

If I were to receive money for my efforts, I could use it for those purchases. ACHOO!

[And now going to fetch a box of tissues, because he's going through way too much mucus for handkerchiefs.]

[yatagarasu]

[Wow. Kay can't remember the last time she saw him like this.

Maybe because this might be her first time seeing him in absolutely no condition to do any prosecutor work.]

...maybe I should start making some tea. And the soup.

[Kay knows how to make tea? Whoa, whoa, wait a sec...]

[truthsnomiracle]

[After several seconds of blowing his nose and throwing the tissues used in the wastebasket:]

Do you even know the finer points of tea-brewing?

[Anyone could just throw tea leaves and hot water together, after all.]

[yatagarasu]

Finer points? Well, teabags are pretty straightforward, but if we're doing it with leaves...

...

[That's not a very good sign.]

[truthsnomiracle]

*cough, cough* Perhaps I should brew my own tea while you concentrate on the soup. *sniff*

[yatagarasu]

Are you sure you can handle it?

[truthsnomiracle]

(Most assuredly better than you could.) It's brewing tea, not disarming a bomb. A sneeze will hardly -- ACHOO! -- result in any disasters.

[Just going to fill the kettle now.]

[yatagarasu]

It'll mean the difference between me being able to have some tea or not. You better not sneeze on the leaves! Or anything!

[truthsnomiracle]

Of course not. What are your preferences?

[Setting it to boil...]

[yatagarasu]

You wouldn't happen to have any honey, would you?

And - oh yeah, I need to get started on the chicken soup, right?

[truthsnomiracle]

As a matter of fact, I do. As for the soup, you can begin that while I wash my face and hands.

[yatagarasu]

Sure! You can count on me!

[Edgeworth, are you seriously leaving your assistant alone in the kitchen...to cook...?]

[truthsnomiracle]

[Only for two minutes, with a specific task to focus on. How much trouble could she possibly get into?...]

I'll be back shortly.

[And now for a quick trip to the bathroom. A sneeze is audible once he's halfway there.]

[yatagarasu]

[And Kay promptly starts cooking. She instantly finds the ingredients (and she actually had some in that bag of hers), chops up vegetables, all that jazz.

All while humming the Jammin' Ninja theme song. Then she switches to the Steel Samurai theme song.]

[truthsnomiracle]

[Meanwhile, Edgeworth makes haste in cleaning himself, missing the Jammin' Ninja humming but returning in time to briefly quirk a half-smile at the Steel Samurai theme behind Kay's back. He takes out cups and saucers, then honey and lemon. After turning away for a moment to cough into his handkerchief:]

Did you want any particular kind of tea?

[yatagarasu]

[Kay stops humming and chopping and glances at him before getting ready to do some serious Yatagarasu-style...

...boiling.]

Depends. What do you have?

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth takes out some white tea for once, then opens the relevant cupboard fully and steps back.]

Were I to elaborate verbally, I'd probably further damage my throat.

[...He's not kidding.]

[yatagarasu]

[She...stares at the cupboard. Holy crow, that's a lot of tea in any one place that isn't a store.]

...G-Green tea's fine.

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth holds back a sneeze long enough to turn away and pull out his handkerchief to absorb it.]

ACHOO! ...Do you have any preferences concerning the strength?

[yatagarasu]

Strength? Um...normal?

[What does Kay know about tea...she'll just go back to preparing all the stuff that'll go into the chicken soup.]

You think I should add noodles?

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth sighs in frustration with a shake of his head, then sets the handkerchief aside, rinses his hands, then takes out a tin of plain green tea and scoops a moderate amount of it into one of the mugs. Noting that the water has hit roughly the right point for green tea by now, he pours water from the kettle into that mug, then sets it back on the heat to get it slightly hotter for his own.]

Ideally they ought to have been added prior to the vegetables, but yes.

[He scoops more white tea into his own mug than he did green into Kay's, then reaches for the egg timer sitting nearby.]

[yatagarasu]

I haven't added anything yet. I even found twisty noodles!

[Kay...had a bag of those, apparently. She shows them off before moving to cook them, this time humming the Pink Princess theme.]

Heh, my bad there.

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth sighs and frowns.] (Perhaps I ought to nap after finishing my own tea, if my observational skills are suffering to this degree.)

More properly called rotini. Those should suffice.
