I'm a defense attorney. I save people's lives, and make sure justice is met.

[psycholawgy]

I came to check on her, not to ask what she did.
It's... Prosecutor Blackquill said that I should leave it to him.

[psycholawgy]

It doesn't seem like he's the kind who'd play with kids, huh? But he was a nice guy!

[psycholawgy]

Are you sure?

[psycholawgy]

I won't even wear it! I'll just take care of him.

[ Jeez! ]

Is that it?

[shikisha]

Whatever, do what you want with it. I doubt he's going to fall apart or anything.

[ ...but now if he does it's Athena's fault.

That question makes her think. ]

You know the Cardboard girl, right?

[psycholawgy]

... of course, I do. What about her?

[shikisha]

...What's her deal? Why the box?

[ Look, she's becoming friends with Myriam. But she's never gotten an answer about why she freaks out about that thing. ]

[psycholawgy]

She wants to be a journalist, and she gets her scoops that way.

Through hiding.

[shikisha]

I know that much. But it's obvious there's more there. She freaks out if you touch it, and won't even take it off to eat.

That's not normal.

[psycholawgy]

[ just shrugs. ]

I'm clueless on that end.

[shikisha]

Seriously? Aren't you two friends?

[ Nonon and Myriam are friends too and she doesn't know much more. ]

Doesn't she ever take it off around you? Maybe there's some kind of childhood trauma?

[psycholawgy]

She's taken it off- look, stop asking me these things, because I barely know her!

I only even met her in a case because she tried to pin my best friend a murderer!

[shikisha]

[ Nonon blinks a few times. She really thought Athena and Myriam were a lot closer...

But also. ]

You mean your boyfriend. [ Snicker. ]

[kirkwalled]

That doesn't tell me what you do. That's merely your title. What does an attorney do?

[psycholawgy]

What?

No! Juniper Woods, her classmate.

[ SHE IS SO OFFENDED. ]

voice;

[psycholawgy]

I defend people in court. I bring people the justice they deserve.

Is that descriptive enough?

[shikisha]

...Just how often are your friends being accused of murder?

[ Be offended! Nonon is just confused here! ]

[psycholawgy]

I also got accused of murder once, you know?

[shikisha]

I won't even say it. I guess I should just find a good lawyer preemptively.

[ The obvious is that Nonon will be next, seeing how Ryuko is already accused of it!! ]

[psycholawgy]

I don't think you understand how corrupt the trial system is back where I'm from.

But, whatever. [ she's pretty stressed right now. she'll explain at a different time. ] Is this all you needed to give me?

[babermetrics]

what? no it looks like a smiley lol what are u on

[shikisha]

The Dark Age or something right?

[ She shrugs. ]

That's it, just make sure Senketsu is safe and fed.

[psycholawgy]

What?? omg is not a smiley! It's oh my god!

[babermetrics]

I know that I meant :)
Isnt that what you meant
