[Edgeworth emerges from the gate leading to Earth-AA. While this on its own wouldn't be an unusual sight, there are a few things that make it so today. To begin with, instead of his normal maroon suit, he's wearing a somber black suit. He also appears more subdued than normal, and thinking about something else. His pace is slower, too. From the gate complex, he will walk straight to his penthouse to change his clothes and eat dinner. Feel free to approach him at any point.]

*Kazumi... is coming out of her own gate, in somber attire as well. Hey, fellow person who lost a dad*

...

*she just kind of... stares at you, Edgeworth, as if she wants to say something but... not exactly trusting herself to*

[Edgeworth notices Kazumi. After a moment, he speaks.]

It seems we had similar plans for Father's Day.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Ah...

... y-yeah, I guess so.

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

How long has he been gone?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

About... six or seven months, I think...?

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

My condolences.

*she opens her mouth to say something but... she's not really sure what to say. She'll just nod slowly*

...Sir Edgeworth? This is... an unusual choice of attire for you.

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

...Yes, it is. This is a suit I rarely wear...because I only wear it under specific circumstances.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Pray, may I inquire as to what the occasion is today?

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

Father's Day.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

I see.

...Westerners dress in black to mourn, am I right? I am very sorry.

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

Don't apologize. He died seventeen years ago.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

And yet the wounds are still fresh enough to wear black on a day like today. I cannot say I fully understand the feeling; I have not seen my father for hundreds of years. If he is alive, I could not say. But I can still feel for your loss.

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

...I neglected his grave for fifteen years. Right now...I'm making up for lost time.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

I see. I am sure wherever he may be, he forgives you.

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

...He has far more than just that to forgive.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

...

This could take a while. If you'd like to hear my story, accompany me to dinner.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Ah? S-sure, if you do not mind me accompanying you.

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

It's fine. Come with me to my suite, though I'll have to ask you to wait in the living room while I change my clothes. From there we'll go to the clubhouse.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Very well. I thank you for this privilege, Sir Edgeworth.

[violet-boundary.livejournal.com]

[Edgeworth will find a bottle of vintage wine in his room.]

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

[Edgeworth stares at the bottle for a moment, then looks back at the door. He'd locked it, which means the bottle could have only come from one source.]

...I suppose I'll have to thank Councilor Yakumo for this later.

En route

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Councilor. Sir.

When you have a moment, I'd like to speak with you regarding my absence.

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

...Very well. Give me two hours.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

...Did I interrupt something important?

[raven-pursuer.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I would just like to change my clothes and have a meal. Nothing more.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll leave you to it. I need to head to my Emeryville anyway: tell my Dad how I'm doing...
