Second Turnabout

[gotyoucornered]

Do you think everyone is alright?

[ This was supposed to be private to Gumshoe but Phoenix and his fail!skill at computers made it public. ]

Everyone who?

[gotyoucornered]

!?

[inyourf_ace]

Hi.

[gotyoucornered]

I need to learn to work this better.

[friendsareall]

I do.

... Are you alright, sir?

[gotyoucornered]

Ah-! [ Guess I didn't set this thing to private after all.. ]

Yeah, I'm just..thinking about my friends at home.

[ She may be a stranger, but I guess it doesn't matter.. ]

[friendsareall]

[ Frown frown frown. Lenalee knows that feeling all too well, and understands it more then most. Even though she understands it... it's still hard to reassure people. That's why there is a short pause, before she chooses to speak again. ]

If it helps you at all, I think the corruption in the time machine makes a sort of... pause in time.

I mean, when we get this fixed, you could be sent to the same time and place you were taken from. In other words, time may not be passing back at your home, and if we do manage to fix this correctly, you can go back home without missing anything.

[ Another short pause. ]... I'm sorry all this happened.

[gotyoucornered]

Then if there's a pause in time and it doesn't get fixed..there's a whole world of people who aren't getting to live. And I still can't help but feel worried.

It's alright. I'm not blaming at you all.

[gpilot02]

Worried much?

[gotyoucornered]

Aren't you?

[gpilot02]

'Bout my friends at home? Nah, they can take care of 'emselves. I do miss 'em though.

[gotyoucornered]

Don't you think they're worried about you though?

[perceivingpolly]

What do you mean by that?

[gotyoucornered]

Just all the people I know.

[perceivingpolly]

Oh, at home. Er, your time...Well, they have to survive to my time, right? So they should be okay.

[gotyoucornered]

I don't think I'm going through the same thing that the Phoenix from your time is going through.

[debluebadger]

I hope they're okay! I mean, I guess Maya can handle taking your place as defense attorney for a while, pal...

[gotyoucornered]

N-NO SHE CAN'T!

[debluebadger]

...

I didn't know you were so distrusting, pal...

[gotyoucornered]

She doesn't know how to be a lawyer, Gumshoe.
