Out of curiosity, how many of you are looking for moonlacing partners? I mean, you could probably just ask a friend or something, but for the more available, what do you have to offer that makes you stand out from the others who are looking for partners?

Show a picture of yourself and what you're looking for. I'll provide a sample.

NAME Reyvenne AGE 53 LOOKING FOR I need a lot of money. A LOT. I'm a bandit but I don't want to live a life of crime here so I'm going to need to moonlace with at least 30 people a month. OFFERING What. You don't think I'm hot?

I WAS going to put him up on this post so he can make more friends and loosen up, but this works.

Addendum: He's pleasant company provided you don't catch him when he's making a scary I-will-put-you-behind-bars face.

It sounds like you and Mr. Edgeworth are very close.

[kayssistant]

"Were", more like.

He's from way before we started solving cases together and only remembers me as a ten-year-old.

[originbullets]

I see. So, from your perspective, you're closer to him than he is to you.

( Intriguing, but troubling. What if people were to start appearing from his timeline? )

To cut it short: he's my roommate. Something of an odd fellow. Keeps following me around like a duckling.

( So that's +1 friend, there. Which says nothing for Kiritsugu's ability to make friends. )

Figured I would give him an extra push to start moonlacing.

( His primary concern: their ability to pay rent, but also, because his reactions are hilarious. Though Kiritsugu isn't about to tell her that outright. )

I guess you could say that.

At least he had enough socialization to get a roommate.

[A roommate who wasn't her or Gumshoe; he probably didn't want to deal with any more timeline weirdness, and from his point of view, Kay and Gumshoe were just like anyone else on this planet - he only met them as acquaintances.]

[bratworth]

I do not need to 'loosen up'.

[kayssistant]

See, this is exactly why you need to go out and meet more friends. I know we're just texting each other but I can practically see those frown lines on your face.

[bratworth]

( Not that Kay can see, but he frowns and rubs absent-mindedly at the creases on his forehead. Touché. )

My facial expressions are not anybody else's business.

[kayssistant]

You say that now, but you might be singing a different tune when a lot of people start asking if you're forty years old.

[bratworth]

You're not seriously suggesting that people would be so incapable of guessing my age?

[kayssistant]

I mean, no one's perfect.

Also, your hair IS gray.

[bratworth]

My hair has been this color ever since I was a young boy.

[kayssistant]

They wouldn't know that!

[bratworth]

Surely they have met others in my situation.

( To the best of his knowledge, his father also had genetic grey hair. It's an Edgeworth family trait! )

[kayssistant]

Maybe some of them haven't.

Or they just don't care.

[bratworth]

They should.

[kayssistant]

Then get out there and make friends! Make your future self proud!

[bratworth]

My 'future self' had many friends, did he?

( sounds fake but ok )

[kayssistant]

He has a number of reliable comrades! Including yours truly.

[It's not a lie. But she sure can make it sound so good.]

[bratworth]

How did you even find me in this so-called future?

[kayssistant]

[Oh boy. Time for Embarrassing Olderworth Stories.]

I was looking for you and turned up at Gatewater Land. I don't think that theme park was around when I was a kid.

Anyway, you were tied to a pole and screaming "NNNGGGHHOOOOOH!" I made my dramatic entrance and helped you escape!

[bratworth]

( What. Just what. He has so many questions.

Here are two to start with. )

1. Why was I at this so-called 'Gatewater Land' in the first place?
2. Why in the WORLD was I tied to a pole?

[kayssistant]

[It's a good thing Edgeworth can't see Kay laughing while texting.]

1. Mr. Amano said his son got kidnapped. You were supposed to meet with the kidnapper.

2. But then, you got kidnapped while looking for kidnappers! You got conked on the head and woke up tied to a pole!

[bratworth]

( Well, that makes some degree of sense. But only some. )

Why would I be meeting a potential kidnapper alone?

( This sounds like a recipe for disaster. )

[kayssistant]

For one thing, you already had the ransom money, and this guy is someone who knows Mr. von Karma or something.

Don't worry, you solve that case too!
