[Accidental Voice; Video] After Darkness Falls.

[makethemguilty]

[There's a familiar scream, and an all-too-familiar Prosecutor roaring in pain, the white of his eyes wide with rage. Definitely not one of his better moments…Though luckily the audio feed cuts rather quickly, and when the next NV function is used, an older man with a scowl is staring directly at the screen, sitting calmly in the dugout with his

I am afraid that you will have little success in pressing charges against those that brought you here, as it was no human that brought you here. The party responsible is called the Core.

[Video]

[makethemguilty]

Human or not, I will see to it that this thing is dismantled.

[Video]

[needtobecleaned]

Dismantled, we may lose our opportunities to return to our homes.

[Video]

[makethemguilty]

Simple. Why not make use of a ship or call for a plane then?

[Video]

[gaveherwings]

My apologies for whatever misinformation has reached your ears, Prosecutor.

But your arrival here, just as the rest of us using the network have found ourselves, is nothing anyone can claim responsibility for. The whims of the Core are something unknown to us.

The city is called Siren's Port. I suggest you take the greeters' information at face value. It is as far as we know of the truth.

Re: [Video]

[makethemguilty]

Ridiculous. Hmph.

[Pause.]

How do I know I can trust your word?

[Patience- this man has a strong potential for being Franziska's father, and so he's going to take this carefully.]

Prosecutor-

My name is Dr. Daedalus Yumeno. I was a citizen of Romdeau City, until it was destroyed and I found myself here- arriving much in the same matter as you, and all newcomers. I help run the free clinic, at our community center.

I have been here in the city for a year, eight months, and seventeen days. Within that time, little to no new information has surfaced regarding the whys or hows of our 'pull' here...other than a few notable observation patterns in arrivals. People show up from various eras, realities- none of us are able to travel too far beyond the bounds of this island, due to a force that's almost like gravity, tethering us here

[He is equally as obstinate as Yumeno is patient, so let us hope they cancel each other out. At any rate, he'll allow the other to speak before shooting him down.]

Doctor Yumeno, is it? Well, I certainly hope you're more competent than the fools here. Where might I find you?

[He at least sounds intelligent.]

Then why don't they fix this useless device instead of allowing it to continue? I, for one, feel rather as though I've been drugged. Wouldn't have been the first time one of those loathsome defense attorneys tried to hinder me from doing my job.

Who is in charge around here? I need to speak to them.

[Maya recognizes the face. Recognizes that voice (ugh, it sends shivers up her spine), recognizes that scream]

[Manfred Von Karma. A sinister man who would do anything to get his verdict, who'd done those awful things to Edgeworth and who knew what to Franziska (Maya made a mental note to call her]

[Who'd electrocuted her and Nick with that stun gun thing and taken their evidence (what a creep!). He was about the last person she'd expect in the Port, but...]

[voice]

[acemedium]

[So, when faced with the video of this familiar smarmy prosecutor barking orders and threats (and that injury... from the bullet?), what does Maya do?]

Von Karma!

[... Blatantly announce her presence and the fact that she recognizes him.]

[Well done, Maya :|]

[voice]

[makethemguilty]

Yes. That is my name.

[Don't wear it out.]

Who are you?

[He wouldn't make a point of trying to remember her.]

[voice]

[acemedium]

[Still pretending he didn't recognize her? Or was it a different timeline? She wouldn't expect him to hold a grudge against her (it was Edgeworth's name he kept screaming, after all), but...]

Maya.

And the Core brought you here, not a person.

[Video]

[beenwaitinglong]

[There's an old face Diego recognizes. A very, very, very old face.]

Well, well, well.

Look who the Core dragged in. The Cryptkeeper himself.

[Video]

[makethemguilty]

What do you want?

[Twitch.]

You know of me. [No surprise there. Who doesn't?] Yet I do not know of you.

[Video]

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha...! I'm sure I live somewhere in those dusty memory banks of yours.

Then again, it was never your habit to remember lowly defense attorneys, was it?

[Video]

[makethemguilty]

Doubtful. I would've remembered a...face like yours.

[The visor, that is.]

Who are you?

[ Aurican greatly enjoys this network. So many people, of the great and the meek, all talking together as equals, comrades, and enemies. It is never something Aurican could ever imagine. He will listen to conversations, not wanting to interrupt the conversations that are either mundane or more lively.

Appearing as an old human male instead of his usual form, this man's manner intrigues him enough to speak. ]

You will be in quite a long wait for the audience of the device that brings you here, Prosecutor. It is already in a jumble of legal matters long ago.

Video; Absolutely love the PB.

[makethemguilty]

[The man whom Aurican addressed also had a peculiar fashion sense, with his aristocratic ruffles and designs. The German surname Von Karma was descended from royalty, after all. At any rate he'll take into account the older man, and stave off his attack for a moment.]

I see...What do you make of it?

Re: Video; thanks!

[goldballadeer]

[ Aurican himself comes from an animated golden dragon statue and a god of light and redemption as parents. But there is worse fashion sense in the world of Kyrnn. Some don't even come with clothes at all. ]

Merely a battleground encased in shadow. The Core is merely a stage, sir.

Video.

[makethemguilty]

Then what is its nature, truly?
