// 2nd Case. // APRIL FOOL'S 4TH WALL

[iobjectholdit]

... Once or twice - something I could tolerate. But this... I...

This is mockery, I'm certain of it.

[Then silence. Kind of. Just frustrated breathing, really.

And then the sharp sound of a someone slamming the phone down.]

[Kay timidly descends the stairs, a little shaken up after her encounter with Bowser earlier. She is immediately shocked to find Edgeworth standing in the middle of the living room yelling into the phone.]

"M-Mr. Edgeworth...?"

[Her voice is slightly hesitant, as if unsure sure if it's really him or not.]

"Don't tell me the town made me your daughter! That's too crazy!"

[Smiles, tries to hold back from laughing.]

[iobjectholdit]

[He practically jumps at the sound of a young girl's voice. So they had a non-drone child? Was he really meant to be a parent? Those were questions for later when he had time to himself.]

... It... is unfortunate that you've also been subjected to this madness, but I must ask: Who are you?

[thief_of_truth]

[Kay's smile immediately fell right off her face.]

"...Don't you remember me? It's Kay! We met seven years ago! I helped you solve a murder like three months ago! You haven't forgotten already, have you?"

[iobjectholdit]

... [Processing...

Nothing. Sorry, Kay. D8

He shakes his head, taking an awkward step toward her. She seemed too personal to be a drone...]

I'm afraid I can't recall. I would never forget someone so... distinctive.

[pinkmeansevil]

[Sorry, Miles. It's still ringing]

Iris? Are you there? You and I need to have a little chat.

[iobjectholdit]

... This is not Iris Hawthorne.

[pinkmeansevil]

It isn't?

....

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir. I was trying to call a friend of mine but I must have dialed the wrong number. How careless of me! I hope you'll forgive me.

[iobjectholdit]

That's quite a different tone you've taken, Ms. Hawthorne; but dialing the wrong number isn't a crime, so you needn't worry about forgiveness in that aspect.

[thatfuckingvase]

If you consider your job a mockery, I'll be sure to take note of it during the next board meeting.

[iobjectholdit]

Hello... Lana Skye.

[thatfuckingvase]

Something the matter, Miles? [b-btw canon reversed before her case.]

[idkmybffscience]

Forensic science is never wrong!

My new phone tapping method led me straight to you!

[iobjectholdit]

[DEDUCTIVE POWERS GO! He has a sunny Skye on his hands.]

Phone tapping is illegal, Ms. Skye.

[idkmybffscience]

A detective needs to use all the scientific knowledge at her hands to crack the case! There's nothing illegal about that!

[iobjectholdit]

It is illegal. I doubt you have a court order, is that right?

[i_object_that]

Er, it could be worse?

[iobjectholdit]

That is the last thing one should ever say in these sorts of circumstances.

[i_object_that]

... Oops.

W-well, uh, it's not like anyone heard, right? And if they did, they're probably bugging the phone which is... not good.

[iobjectholdit]

... I have a daughter, apparently.
