WHERE THE-- [A very long, extremely colorful string of highly explicit German curses is heard.] --HELL DID THIS TATTOO COME FROM?!

[For several minutes the sound of the prosecutor presumably throwing breakables around his apartment can be heard, along with another string of particularly creative swearing in any number of European languages,

[Was this what he disconnected the line for?]

Mister Edgeworth?

[iusferendum]

[Sorry, Saya, Mr. Edgeworth is a bit too upset right now to hold a civil conversation, and even in this state he isn't going to scream and curse at you. After all, it isn't your fault he has the tattoo, even if your testimony is the reason he found out about the mark just behind his ear. The fact that he's ignoring your message for the time being is actually a testament to the fact that he's more than aware he's over-reaction, but he can't really do much but scream right now.]

[driedfisheyes]

It's not something to be so upset over.

[iusferendum]

Not something to be so upset over?

Not something to be so upset over?

I was drugged, kidnapped, and given a permanent mutilation against my will and you have the audacity to tell me I shouldn't be upset?

Just who the hell do you think you are?

Pfft. Oh Edgey XD

[driedfisheyes]

[...]

We're all in the same situation here. Maybe you should expend your intelligence in something more worthwhile rather than proving your multilingual ability to curse.

He is. Not having a good time. XP

[iusferendum]

And perhaps you can expend your smart aleck commentary on someone who gives a damn.

[notguiltyplz]

Oh hey! You found yours! Mine is on my shoulder.

[The video feed clicks on and oh, he is not a happy camper, if the death glare he's giving Phoenix right now is any indication. He's too angry to even bother emoting about why Phoenix doesn't seem to remember a good several years of their life, and when Miles Edgeworth is too busy to emote, you know someone's going to get the death sentence.]

Oh, yes. Leave it to Phoenix bloody Wright to be sickeningly cheerful about something as grotesque as a tattoo that was forced upon him.

Why am I not surprised?

[Video]

[notguiltyplz]

[Hey, look there's Phoenix fumbling with the camera and now he looks at it and he is pouting in an offended manner. There's some bandages just about visible underneath his fallen hair but he's got the camera angled in such a fashion that only flashes of them are seen as he moves. It's almost as if he's wearing a headband.]

You act like I'm happy about this. Where is yours?

[Video]

[iusferendum]

[Sorry, Fee, he's to outraged to notice your bandages just yet. He does seem to calm down, though, if just a tad bit. He mumbles something indecipherable, crossing his arms and glaring off to the side.]

Behind the base of my ear, just near my hairline. Yours?

[Video]

[first_scorned]

Ah, so you noticed it...

[ Naoya will be over here, being amused, looking more guilty than he probably is. ]

Quaint, isn't it? Kidnapped, tracked, and branded all in one fell swoop. But what are you going to DO about it? That is the question.

[Video]

[iusferendum]

Hn. Herded together like animals, is what we've been. It's disgusting, is what it is. Disgusting, deplorable and unjust. They hid my tattoo, as well, just behind my ear near my hair line, surely hoping I wouldn't notice what they did to me.

[Bangs his hand on his desk furiously.] I have every intention, I can assure you, of finding the culprit behind these crimes and bringing him to justice once and for all.

[Video]

[first_scorned]

[ ... Naoya listens to the prosecutor, and at this point, he raises a brow, smugly. Ever amused. ]

Oh? Well, well. Prosecute them to the full extent of the law... which has no reach here. Do inform me how you plan to manage THAT feat, Mr. Edgeworth.

[ Yes, he can speak English quite well. Well enough that you've amused him so that he'll play the ballgame of being courteous enough to speak it for you. ]

You know, mine was on my neck. I would assume the first thing you would do in a situation such as this when you had come to your senses would be, of course, to check your person... but you can hardly be blamed for not thinking.

[ That's a challenge, Edgeworth. A big one. ]

[Video]

[iusferendum]

Justice will find a way to persevere, and I'll see to it that the proper sentence is carried out if I have to bring the system to these lawless savages myself.

[His eyes narrow, the abrupt absence of Naoya's former accent not escaping his notice, though he's far too riled up to consider the implications of such a change very carefully at the moment. For now, he simply writes it off as another ridiculous act being played by another lunatic, of which this supposed world seemed to be full to the brim.]

[Growled] Pardon me if I wasn't able to spot a mark behind my ear while giving myself a quick once-over. I was far more concerned with making sure all my limbs were still in tact to think of doing an exhaustive search for new tattoos.

[stompsonphones]

[Maybe he's not fluent in German, but chances are that he can pick out some of those words. And with each curse, his laughing continues. It manages to die down just in time for him to get in a few comments, though.]

My, my! Ran into something upsetting, I take it?

[iusferendum]

Why, no, I'm not upset in the slightest to find I've been branded against my will. What ever gave you a ridiculous idea like that?

[stompsonphones]

Ah. That.

[And he had hoped it would be something new Way to disappoint, Edgey.]

A bit slow on the uptake. Been there since you arrived, since all of us arrived. I personally find it to signify that we just might be considered property. Or something akin to cattle, one or the other.

[iusferendum]

[Your mother was a new way to disappoint, why not try her on for size next time? >|]

I'm so sorry that you all seem to think I ought to have noticed this unsightly offense before now, but I didn't request to have it hidden behind my ear.
