[ if only ema were the type to swoon.... i'd swoon..... wrio be my bodyguard
that does take ema by surprise, and her snacking comes to a complete stop as she takes a better look at him. she does think he's jk but... it's a nice kind of jk to offer. it makes her smile, genuinely. incredible. ]
Thanks. He's not that kind of bad. He's just annoying in how glimmering he is. His arrogance needs to be taken down a few pegs, is all.
unfortunately, she will keep them to (one point) five feet apart as they make their way towards the hotel. at least she's no longer shambling. she's sober now—or at least much closer to sober than tipsy. ]
I'd have to know who you are to call you.
[ there's a faint tinge of humor for an ema in her bitter era, but it's gone when he asks the next question. ]
I'm a detective. [ grumpily. ] Prosecutor Gavin is that.
[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm considering the crowd, it might actually be safe to say what he actually does for a living. wriothesley considers this for a second as they continue traipsing forward.
ultimately, he does not say it. ]
I run a production facility for clockwork meka. [ not a technically a lie. ] I'm proud to say we're one of the largest manufacturers in Fontaine.
BUT ALSO NOOOOOOOOOOOO MY KISSING PROSPECTS. wriothesley, unaware of his drop in ema's good esteem, continues blithely. ]
Fontaine is where I'm from. The meka are....how should I put it. I'd say they're similar to the staff that patrol around here, only nowhere near advanced. They're primarily used to patrol the city and fend off any incoming threats.
THEY'RE NOT GONE YET. they're just. lower. he explains this all like it's so normal to him, and that might be part of the problem when ace attorney is so normal despite all its bullshit. ]
All of you come from interesting places. You'd think I'd have heard of Fontaine before now.
he gives ema a little shrug, gaze drifting around them again. ]
I'm starting to realize there's a lot more I still don't know about the world. But since you've never heard of Fontaine, where exactly do you come from?
I'm starting to wonder about a lot of people here. It's my home, so it's hard to give an objective review of it even if I spent a third of my life somewhere else. At least you'd fit in.
[ you can be a weirdo in LA and no one would blink. ]
that's an interesting point that she brings up but: ]
Are you sure you aren't the fantastical one for being so ordinary? [ no, jk. ] But I have to admit, most of the things I've seen here have been out of the ordinary, even for me.

he really is such a gentleman. she clocks the kept distance. ]
I hate how that's a good point. [ MUNCH. she's already disillusioned. she can be even more disillusioned. ]
He's someone I wanted to get away from.
[ MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH. at least eating all these snackoos is going to sober her up soon. ]

A [ hm, probably not friend ] coworker of yours?

I have to work with him too often. It's hard to say this is a vacation if I have to see him.

alas, they are both banished to walking (one point) five feet apart while they discuss klavier gavin's crimes against existence. ]
Well, if you're ever in need of my services, feel free to call anytime.
[ and he will be there for you ]
What is it you both do, if you don't mind me asking?

[ wow this is just like fontaine! is the next person he meets going to introduce themselves as a judge. he does sound impressed though. ]
Guess I'll know who to call if we suddenly find a dead body in one of the janitorial closets.
[ haha wouldn't that be funny :)))))) ]
You can call me Wriothesley. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as exciting as either yourself or Prosecutor Gavin.
no subject
Don't jinx us.
[ she'd love to examine a corpse as a FORENSICS INVESTIGATOR. not a detective. ]
I wouldn't call what I do exciting. I'm Ema Skye. What do you do?

I'm from the United States.

Never heard of it. [ cheerfully! ] What's it like there?

she stares at him. ]
Really? [ looking at him as if he lives under some insane rock instead of under the sea ] It's a big country.
no subject
There's a lot I haven't heard about, I'm beginning to realize.
[ the world (universe?) is so large and he is so tiny. insert five paragraphs of philosophical meta here. ]
Would you recommend it as a place to visit?

but also: why is she being so judgey about all the people here? ]
Are we really all that strange?
no subject
why isn't she allowed to be judgey? when you're normie, all you can do is judge. (she's not that normal.) ]
You all say a lot of things that aren't ordinary. I'm used to seeing some strange things in my line of work, but you guys border on fantastical.

We're both out of our depth. I hope that doesn't end up biting us in the end.

What, you think something might happen?
[ lol ]
no subject
Why not? We almost exploded arriving here. Why not something else?
