(The video feed starts suddenly, focused on a young girl with shoulder-length blue hair; she hasn't been in the city before today, but if you know Franziska von Karma, this girl will look very familiar ... and the similarities will be even more obvious once she opens her mouth.)Assuming that this device has some sort of communication feature, I

[video] LOLI PARTY

[For all purposes this is stealyourlines on a loli account. Yes, this is me. Orz I just added this for formality's sake.]

Hey, Miss Whip Lady! You're here too?

[voice] /o/

[vonkarmic]

(HI AUSTE)

... Kay Faraday?

[voice] There will be much whipping and kicking

[tiny_thief]

Yup, that's me!

Are you investigating with Mr. Edgeworth again?

[voice] of course!

[vonkarmic]

I do not investigate with Miles Edgeworth -- he investigates with me.

And no, I am not.

[While one would have to be blind to not notice the sudden increase in the city's child-age population, seeing Franziska at this age is certainly most unexpected, and for a moment, his heart feels heavy. This is what her bright-eyed innocence used to be, before she grew into the regrettable woman who she was (had been? there was no way to tell how long these circumstances were going to continue for) today.

Yet, surprising as Franziska's appearance is, Manfred's determined to use it to his advantage somehow - and only that, because the notion he might miss his daughter before she strayed from the path is just...foolish.]

Franziska. You have not been kidnapped. Where are you now?

[voice; german]

[vonkarmic]

(Franziska's nerves instantly relax when she hears his voice; she's overjoyed to hear that he's here, ostensibly somewhere relatively close, and she's unable to completely suppress the relief she feels, try as she might.)

Papa ... are you --

(She cuts herself off there, because as glad as she is to see him, and as many questions as she has, she won't - can't? - ignore a direct question.)

At what I believe to be a library. Are you nearby?

[voice; german]

[fingersnapping]

I will be shortly. Stay where you are, and I will come to collect you.

[voice; german]

[vonkarmic]

Understood.

(She'll be sitting patiently (?) in a tattered armchair until he arrives.)

[stopblamingme]

[Staring. Yes. This is such a detailed tag.]

[video]

[vonkarmic]

Do you have anything of worth to add, or do you intend to simply stare off into space and waste my time?!

[video]

[stopblamingme]

Talk funny.

[video]

[vonkarmic]

Excuse me?

[dividend]

How come your hair's blue?

/EDITS FOREVER

[vonkarmic]

(Franziska huffs impatiently.)

What a foolish question. I might as well ask why yours is shaped like a small porcupine, for all the use the answer will be!

Now, who are you, and where am I?!

[dividend]

H-hey, it's not like a porcupine I'm Phoenix! And... w-well, I don't know where we are!

[vonkarmic]

Hmph. A foolishly uninformed fool with a foolish name and an even more foolish hairstyle.

If you don't have any information, then of what use are you to me?!

[whatthefactor]

....

You're in Discedo.

[vonkarmic]

(Ah, finally -- someone who's bothering to give her some sort of answer, even if it makes no sense to her at the moment.)

And what, precisely, does that mean?

[Video]

[whatthefactor]

You're on another planet stuck in some bad movie plot until a group of scientist say otherwise.

You expect me to believe that?
