Fifth Case [Video and Action]
[The feed opens on a rather young woman, standing with her arms crossed and whip in hand. She doesn’t look very pleased.]
If any of you have an actual explanation for what this place is, or for what reason we’ve come here, please come forward now. I find it difficult to believe that that this ‘tower’, however you fools call it, is not an elaborate ruse created by some fool who is unaware who he’s dealing with.
[Edgeworth can be seen standing right behind her with his arms crossed and a frown on his face.]
Franziska, while I honestly cannot blame you for thinking that I have gone completely insane, I assure you that any answers you get on the network will be exactly the same as mi-[Yep. That comment results in a whip from Franziska - WHICH HURTS DAMMIT.] – IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!
[As Franziska withdraws her whip, Edgeworth grabs his shoulder, wincing in pain. Boy, he is going to feel sorry for Franziska and the many people who will become her whip victims for telling the truth.]
As I said, if anyone can come forward with a less foolish explanation than my brother, please do so now. I will be waiting in the library on the third floor. That is all.
[Both Edgeworth and his rather infuriated sister can be found in the library. Come and join them if you want to
Replies will be: Poster> Franziska > Edgeworth.]
Re: Action
[She's tapping her foot rather impatiently. She doesn't have all day.]
Re: Action
Franziska, perhaps we should talk about this in the cafeteria? You have to e...[Wait, maybe it's not a good idea to mention the oatmeal yet. Otherwise, Franziska probably won't go.]....never mind.
All the action up in here
You're new aren't you? I haven't seen you around. Name's Naoya Toudou.
[But he does know you, Mc.Totally-not-watching-a-sentai-show. You look uncomfortable next to this girl but there's definitely a connection. Relative? Foe? Someone he knows? Regardless, Emperor arcana awaaaaaay.]
He's right, you need to go eat the oatmeal in the cafeteria when you first come here. It's written in the letter.
Re: All the action up in here
[She stands rather still as she gives her introduction, no offer of handshake or other friendly gesture in sight. If anything, Naoya's nonchalance seems to be making her more uneasy.]
I refuse to leave this room until a satisfactory explanation has been found.
Re: All the action up in here
....until the monsters show up, of course. [Which is what Edgeworth is really worried about. Unfortunately, whether or not he can persuade his sister...]

He's telling the truth. This place is dangerous at night. There's no good explanation, we're still trying to find it ourselves. But maybe I can show you something to help...[Without harming her of course.]
In my world, demons attacked. We were granted a special power to help us fight back. If I show you that power, it proves that there's some truth to what we're saying, right?
[As he steps back, bluish energy surges from him until a creature emerges above him, twice his height. Naoya doesn't seem perturbed. It stands next to him, adopting a similar pose as its user.]
This is one of my Persona, Vishnu.
[Who is also immune to physical attacks, he thinks, as it was hard to miss the whip she was holding.]
no subject
[But, it's not enough to get her past her skepticism. Surely there's some scientific explanation for this. "Demons" and "monsters"? What kind of fool did you take her for?]
[It takes her a moment, but she regains her composure. Anyone who listens closely, though, might hear a hint of desperation in her voice.]
Clearly a trick! Some sort of elaborate setup with lights!
no subject
why did I not get a notif for this, gomen
I'm not here to break you down. It's just proof that I'm saying the truth...
[And he can't just burn books as an example...that's when he decides well, what else could he do?]
Hit me as hard as you can with that whip. It won't hurt.
