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.
her blunt assessment of their arrival does make him grimace a little. ]
I'd like to hope that was a one time deal. [ he has had enough near-death experiences in his life, thanks. anyway!!!! ] Think you can make it to your room from here?
[ i already fucked up one of my pcs with nat i need to reduce the chance of it happening with you ]

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?

[ a prosecutor. ]
no subject
[ 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?
[ if he even jokingly offered to be security detail. ]

Mecha? [ she does not hear it as meka. why was he so normal only to turn into a weirdo at this moment? ] Fontaine?

[ it'd be hard to miss in the news? ]
I'm from the United States.
no subject
Never heard of it. [ cheerfully! ] What's it like there?
no subject
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?
no subject
is he the philosophical sort? ]
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. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
What, you think something might happen?
[ lol ]
no subject
Why not? We almost exploded arriving here. Why not something else?
[ lol ]

no subject
We can both hope for that. [ because that's what she'd like, too. ] Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks.
[ she will not stumble her way into the hotel, yay. she's sober enough now even if she isn't 100%. ]
no subject
but hearing that she is both sounding and acting sober, he'll give her a little salute. ]
I'll see you around then.
