Though I hate to lend credence to such an asinine theory, the abundance of dinosaurs over the past week does make me wonder if the fools claiming this place is a dream world are less so than I thought

[It stings more painfully than she would have expected it would. Though she's different than the young girl she was when he was alive, it's strange to see just how deeply Manfred's appearance has shaken her.

She's still waiting desperately for Edgeworth to wake up.]

P-papa-...

[perfect_law]

The von Karma name does not allow for mistakes, Franziska.

The matter is closed. You will not fail me again. [It isn't a prediction so much as a command, an absolute certainty that it is the truth]

[perfektioniert]

[Despite whatever emotions are running through her, the young woman's reply is firm and steady.] Yes. I understand.

[perfect_law]

Good.

Now, onto more important matters. Where have you been residing?

[chose_death]

[Is that a spark of dry amusement in his tone?]

Have you spent the past several weeks on the street?

[perfect_law]

[Of course Inspector Javert would respond to this. The old prosecutor's first instinct would be to simply hang up, but Javert is his new favorite toy, after all.]

Of course not. I have made do with a small house for the time being.

[chose_death]

How pitiable. [Javert sounds entirely indifferent.]

Start with a tour of the city. Vacant properties would be a decent start.

[perfect_law]

[Now that the initial words in the conversation have been spoken, Manfred takes the time to examine Javert's face. The inspector's fatigue is obvious in his features, Manfred notes]

This is the obvious course of action, but due to my limitations physically as far as walking go... [He gestures vaguely at his cane] It seemed prudent to see if there were any more specific residences I could be told of.

[thecoolestsoul]

Wow. Could you be any more of a stick in the mud?

Either this place is a dream world, or they have really crazy time-traveling powers and brought dinosaurs back just for the fun of it. Your pick.

[perfect_law]

[Snap!] I do not have the patience for confrontational fools.

[thecoolestsoul]

Hey, you're the one who asked.

[perfect_law]

I asked for information on places of residence. The dream world theory was simply hypothesizing out loud, an action I now regret.

[insorrow]

... wait.

[Ken hesitates for a moment. Clearly trying to work out how to phrase this.]

So. If you believe this is a dream world you're clearly an idiot... but refusing to for weeks because you ain't had your face bitten off yet is smart?

[Are we working with different definitions of the word 'idiot' here?]

[perfect_law]

Until there is concrete proof of something as far-fetched as a magical dream world, the logical alternative is to believe there is another possibility.

Dinosaurs are concrete proof.

[insorrow]

I don't think this place gives a-- cares about what's logical.

And I woulda thought these things [Ken gestures to the Dreamberry] were proof of something, right? Ain't it good enough we can see each other's dreams?

[perfect_law]

The ability to see the dreams of others does not immediately mean this is a dream world.

For example, there are machines that allow you to watch pornographic films in my native world. This does not mean that Earth is a 24-hour orgy.
