I wasn't online very much on the day of the virus, because I was busy with my birthday-- it was a lot of fun, and Mama made me blueberry pancakes and Papa gave me some important news, and I got very thoughtful presents from people! Oh, but anyway, what I meant to say was that the virus was a little bit confusing, because everyone got such different things... I'm not sure it's very fair of the community to give people something that makes them happy and then make them sad again.

[ CB-locked ]

I've been asking Papa for a very long time now, because I've been thinking very hard about things like people here fighting, and the war on Mr. Gesicht's world, and what Mr. Gesicht said about fighting not being the answer, and thinking about how I want to help even more-- and the big news that he gave me is that he's decided to let me officially train as a tactical operator! If that's all right with you, Mr. Erde, of course, he said he was going to officially discuss that with you.

[ Locked to Pearl, Franzy ]

Ms. von Karma has already asked me privately, but I asked if you could help, Pearl, and she said that as long as you kept it a secret that's all right! She says that she thinks that it's very clear that Mr. Edgeworth and Mr. Wright are meant for each other, and Mr. Edgeworth is very much in love with him, and she wanted our help in the future when the time is right! Isn't that so exciting??

Yes, I did! I had a lot of fun with everyone here.

Oh, but... I'm sorry if I made you upset when we talked, Mr. Edgeworth. I didn't realize how troubling that was to talk about...

Miss Vashti...

I'm afraid I must apologize. I was not wrong in my sentiment, but I was wrong in how I chose to express it. I...understand you didn't intend to cause any harm with your line of questioning, and...I regret causing you harm in return.

Oh... It's all right, Mr. Edgeworth! It really is! I mean, yes, I was feeling upset at first, but then I realized that you're probably a very private and serious person, that's all! Mr. Erde used to be very much like that.

He 'used to be'?

That's quite perceptive of you. You are right, Miss Vashti. I prefer the details of my private life to be kept private. Admittedly, this place makes that extremely difficult at times, but I've never been...comfortable discussing much of my personal life in public. The harshness of my response was still unwarranted, but I hope you can see it was directed at the conversation itself, rather than at you.

Well, he's still very private and serious, but he's much more... let's see, how should I put it? It's not really laid-back, and it's not really personable, either... agreeable, maybe? In any case, he's never been very disagreeable with me, even though very nearly everyone else was scared of him at one time or another! I've known him since I was very small, you see. He used to keep an eye on me if my parents were busy!

I understand, Mr. Edgeworth! I promise that I won't pry like that again. Was this why you locked this thread? --Oh, and you can just call me Mileina, if that's all right with you!

Then he's a friend of the family and erstwhile babysitter? That explains a few things.

Very well, Mileina. It was, in part. It was also because this matter is between us and only us. The way a dispute between two people is eventually resolved is no one else's concern, despite what most of the community seems to think.

Papa says I confused him into taking care of me by following him around all day, but knowing Papa, I'm nearly sure that's an exaggeration!

Oh, I see! It's because you like being private, again. Then I should warn you that Mr. Erde is better at hacking than even I am, so he's probably watching us! Would you like me to improve the encryption?

Somehow I suspect it wasn't confusion that induced him to treat you so favorably.

...If you would, please.

((OOC: Oh Shiroooo. XD;;))

Really? Well, in any case, we're very nearly family now! Especially after a virus where we were even more very nearly family.

There, I've improved the lock to the best of my ability!

Ah... I recall that virus quite vividly, assuming of course that we're referring to the same one. You believed you were relatives for the duration?

Thank you, ~~Miss~~ Mileina. I doubt anything is truly safe in this place, but additional security certainly can't hurt matters.

Well, not precisely. It was a virus where we had different lives! He was a prosecutor, and one day when I was very young my parents were arrested and found guilty, and he found me alone in the courthouse and took me in! So you see, he was very much like my father.

~~...This sounds oddly familiar.~~ I can't say I approve of the community's scenario. Losing one's parents is...unspeakably difficult, even if only on a temporary basis. I wonder how well Mr. Erde took to the experience. It seems he and I have a few rather unexpected things in common.

Well, yes... so that's why in the end I was glad it was just a virus, even if I had a lot of fun with Mr. Erde and going to school and everything. So it's best the way things are, with my parents around as well. Mr. Erde was very good at it, though, at both parenting and being a prosecutor! He even wore a frilly cravat, like you, Mr. Edgeworth!

It's a jabot, actually. At least mine is.

Hm. Unexpected similarities indeed. I suppose it shouldn't surprise me overmuch. He's offered us his assistance in...law enforcement related matters in the past. Clearly he takes an interest in the dispensation of justice. What is his actual vocation? And what of your parents, what do they do for a living? Are they on the community as well?

My parents are both mechanical engineers! They don't have accounts of their own, but I've let Papa use mine once before to see that my friends here are all very nice and he shouldn't worry. As for Mr. Erde, he's in the IT department of the school that Mr. Lockon teaches at!
