[And, true to his word - he's there quickly. He's a little bit in disarray - his hair is slightly mussed, and his cravat is tied in a rather perfunctory way. He was relaxing when this fell into his lap.
You've been through worse when we were at home. When we had considerable investigatory authority and when we could far more easily uncover the truth. Here -
[He cuts himself off with a shake of his head. No use in that - in upsetting Wright. If, indeed, anything can upset him. (Edgeworth is not one for violence, but when his friend gets like this, gets that ambiguous little smile, he just wants to go up to him and punch him right in the nose.)]
[ The smile fades as he recalls the events that led up to all of this happening. It wasn't a pleasant feeling, being possessed, and now that he's experienced it first hand, he has no idea how the Feys do it. ]
More than he intended, I'd say.
[ Where to even begin? ] I was just arriving to a meeting with Yomiel, one of the employees at Softco. I knew there was something off about him, but it was confirmed when he somehow... took over my body.
I'd bet anything on it. [ And he doesn't say that lightly.
It's been absolutely frustrating, knowing that Yomiel was lying but unable to show any physical proof. Even now, just claiming to have been possessed would be worth nothing to anyone who didn't know him. ]
[ The look on his face shows how not happy he is to remember the events of the evening. It was a chilling experience, being forced to do things against his will. His tone is even, nearly flat, as he answers. ]
Not really. I could hear his voice, but my body was moving on its own. I tried to fight back, but nothing happened. [ And it's only now his composure cracks, and only because it's Edgeworth. ] He threatened Trucy. [ And even then, he couldn't do anything. ]
[And like very little else can, that sends a jolt of pure rage through Edgeworth. He stiffens, and his lips thin, and his eyes widen, and his face pales; he bites out - snarls - ]
I imagine he took a little stroll through my head while he was up there.
[ He leaves unspoken what or who else Yomiel might have seen in there. The amount of people he cares for here are starting to build up... dangerously. (It's so frustrating, going back to that chillingly familiar feeling of being safer when he kept all his cards closer to his chest. Except even Kristoph at least couldn't read minds.) ]

Date: 2014-06-11 05:28 pm (UTC)His voice is urgent when he comes into the room:]
Wright. Who's representing you?

Date: 2014-06-12 11:25 am (UTC)[He runs his hand through his hair; he's a bit flustered, a bit upset.]
[action]
Date: 2014-06-13 08:35 pm (UTC)Don't worry, Edgeworth. I've been through worse.
Though... let Apollo know, will you? [ If he can defend him from murder he can defend him from ghost possession bank robbery... probably. ]

What do you remember.

What are you planning to do?
[action]
Date: 2014-06-15 01:33 pm (UTC)I'm planning to go after him.
[action]
Date: 2014-06-17 01:01 am (UTC)[ It's always the same thing. He can lecture Phoenix all he wants, but when it comes push to the shove, Edgeworth can be just as reckless. ]
There's not enough room in here for both of us.
[action]
Date: 2014-06-17 01:06 am (UTC)[He stares right back at his friend.]
I'm not prepared to allow you to stay in there. I will not stand idly by.
[action]
Date: 2014-06-19 04:59 am (UTC)He slips in and out of the joking tone like it's nothing. ]
Just be careful. He can literally get into your head, and we don't know what else he's capable of.
[action]
Date: 2014-06-19 07:14 pm (UTC)Could you fight him at all?
[action]
Date: 2014-06-20 07:57 pm (UTC)Not really. I could hear his voice, but my body was moving on its own. I tried to fight back, but nothing happened. [ And it's only now his composure cracks, and only because it's Edgeworth. ] He threatened Trucy. [ And even then, he couldn't do anything. ]

Date: 2014-06-20 08:00 pm (UTC)He will not lay a hand on Trucy.
[action]
Date: 2014-06-20 08:12 pm (UTC)[ There's no one he trusts more than Edgeworth with this. Phoenix knows how much Trucy means to him, too. ]
[action]
Date: 2014-06-21 01:51 pm (UTC)[The burst of anger fades somewhat, enough that he can ask - ]
How did he know about her?

He'll probably know about you too.

Date: 2014-06-25 01:04 am (UTC)I dearly hope he does.
