Being stuck in an elevator sucks..[January 31st, after the earthquake] [Voice]

[knitbadsweaters]

[Iris was not usually frightened of earthquakes.They happened frequently at the Hazakura Temple, where she grew up, and she knew what to do. However, this was the first time that she had been stuck in a lift.

Franziska was not the type who was frightened of earthquakes either. She only found them worrisome. Being stuck in a lift because of an earthquake was another story. It’s not that she’s had some prior experience with lifts and earthquakes. She heard stories about these kinds of emergencies. One story in particular comes to mind. She’s been pressing the intercom button repeatedly. It wasn’t responding.

Thankfully, however, after panicking for a few minutes, Iris gained enough self-control to turn on her communicator while Franziska was busy pressing the button]

H-hello?! This is Iris....I am in one of the elevators of the Fatality Condoniums with Miss Von Karma, and....I-I think we’re now trapped....

[Franziska notices what Iris was doing and holds her hand out for the communicator.]

May I?.

Huh?! Uh....s-sure....

.[Franziska gets the communicator and, after remembering that it wasn’t a celphone and shouldn’t be pressed to her ear, starts her part of the message.]

We’re stuck somewhere between the fourth and sixth floor. Lack of oxygen shouldn’t be an issue. But someone should assist us with escaping this place before the next aftershock.

[And pressing the filter button faster than Iris could (possibly) say no.]

[filter: the Agency (those who Franziska knows)]

One of you should check on Edgeworth. Bring a bottle of clean water and some smelling salts if you can. Keep him away from his communicator.

[And tossing the communicator back to Iris. Franziska’s just going to sit down now.]


[OOC: Both Iris and Franziska will reply to comments. Purple is Iris, Blue is Franziska.]

OI, CITIZEN!!

[knitbadsweaters]

[Wow, that was loud]

E-excuse me?!

[seizeyoursouls]

Oh.

[zoooooooooooooming into the camera even if there's only voice coming in from his end]

Hello.

[histrionicflair]

You're being too loud.

[seizeyoursouls]

[kind of whisper]

Citizen! You're not dead, right?

Video; filter

[itaidakimasu]

Is he at the condo or the office?

[histrionicflair]

I'm sure he's not at the condo.

[itaidakimasu]

Did he say he was going anywhere in particular?

[draculabackwards]

Is Edgeworth injured at all?

[histrionicflair]

[And slamming straight towards topics that Franziska would not like to think about at the moment.]

Don't be absurd, Alucard! Why would he be injured at all?

[draculabackwards]

One only mentioned it as a possibility. Where do you think he is that I might locate him?

[thewarisover]

I'll have someone on it immediately. Barring that, I'll come and fetch the both of you myself.

voice;

[knitbadsweaters]

I-I think someone might be coming for us, but thank you...

voice;

[thewarisover]

You're welcome. [A beat.] Roy Mustang. You would be miss...?

[histrionicflair]

I don't care who does it. Just get us out.

[thewarisover]

Consider it done, Miss von Karma.

[Action - because she would have heard what was said on the filter]

[knitbadsweaters]

...Smelling salts? [orz, is Mr. Edgeworth all right?]

[Action - because yeah... ._.]

[histrionicflair]

It's almost as effective as a good whipping. [Probably. Hopefully he's just hiding under a table somewhere. Hopefully.]

[Backdated action forever ;_;]

[knitbadsweaters]

Wh-whipping....?! [Okay....dooon't wanna know]

But why would he need smelling salts...? I-is he all right?! [Because she doesn't know his fear of earthquakes. Witnessing him faint once isn't really enough for that unless your name's Sherlock Holmes. :(]

[voice] 1/2

[prosecutory]

[There's nothing, at first.

Then there's a sharp, but rather strangled intake of breath before another pause.]

[voice] YOU GUYS WHY

[prosecutory]

[And a shaky voice that usually doesn't come out in a whisper like this adds:]

I'll be...I'm...coming.

[He was scared, but that didn't mean he couldn't do anything. Right?]

[video]

[histrionicflair]

No.

[Voice] Reposted because of bad grammar, orz.

[knitbadsweaters]

.....Mr. Edgeworth?

[Oh no, he doesn't sound very well at all...]

I-it's okay, there are already some people coming to help us!

[Video]

[snipingyourfail]

I can send a crew to get you out of there. [That is unless the Watch has already acted by the time she replies--which is just a bit late. Communication lines with Shibusen are clogged and she's having the devil of a time keeping things up and running.]

[histrionicflair]

How fast can your crew get here? Roy Mustang has a thirty minute head start.
