Fifth Case [Video and Action]

[frilliance]

[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 be whipped give the poor girl some information

Replies will be: Poster> Franziska > Edgeworth.]

[Riku sends Edgeworth a nod and a flash of a sardonic smirk; he is more amused than offended, really.

As for Franziska, well...]

You are free to believe as you like, of course. I'm sure this place will speak for itself soon enough.

[It becomes increasingly hard to deny the reality of the tower when you get killed and come back again after all. Or get caught up in the administration's machinations. Or just witness a glamor failure.]

[turnaboutlegacy]

It's rude to talk in front of people as if they are not present.

[Her whip's out, and its newest targets are Riku and Edgeworth.]

And I am sure that whatever this 'tower' has to say, it will certainly be more sensical than this gibberish that the both of you insist on.

[frilliance]

[Unfortunately, Edgeworth isn't smirking back - he knows from experience that you have to be careful when you're making fun of Franziska.]

.......Franziska, do you truly believe I would make up something as ridiculous as this?

[justabignobody]

[As someone who goes out looking for fights with the monsters in this place on rather regular basis, Riku doesn't scare easily. Especially since he's confident then he can dodge or block, if she lashes out at him. Though, Franziska's attitude does annoy him maybe a little - he can sympathize with being skeptical, but this kind of denial in face of what pretty much everyone worth talking to here will and can tell her, is just irritating.]

Suit yourself then.

[turnaboutlegacy]

It's certainly one of your more foolish lies.

[But she still doesn't believe it entirely. She turns to Riku.]

And you, if you have nothing else to add, please leave the conversation.

[frilliance]

You know me better than that.

[And in regards to Riku...] If you're going to take it that way then I doubt that you will find anybody in this place besides Riku here who will have anything more 'useful' to add.

[justabignobody]

[That earns a small grin and a shrug.]

I can think of some other people who could offer as much if not more information, but thank you.
