[Hello, Discedo. This is Hughes sitting at his desk, looking quite thoughtful. In fact, his pen and paper are at the ready, and he's tapping his chin with his pen before he starts talking. Beside him is a plate of half-eaten apple pie.]

Right. Any updates from the Watch? If there's anything I can do to help, just ask.

Also, I've been thinking. Does anyone around here teach self-defense skills of any kind? 'Cause I feel like opening my own class for those who are interested to learn a thing or two about knife fighting. I can also help you out if you don't know how to use a gun properly, but knives are my specialty.

There's still no definite schedule at this point, though. [Hughes laughs sheepishly.] I'll keep you guys posted, don't worry. And I'll let you in on what these classes will be about. Long-range fighting will be all about knife throwing and accuracy. Close-range classes will deal with hand-to-hand combat. You don't have to take both, but if you're game, go for it! [He grins.] But remember - this isn't child's play. This is serious fighting, so if you're under 13, I would like to see some permission from your guardian here in Discedo.

Still interested? Fill out this form. If you've got any other questions, now's the time to ask. Actually, I've got a question - when is the gym usually free? I could conduct my classes at the park, but...the gym's a lot safer. [The transmission changes to text briefly.]



[Back to video. Hughes looks a lot happier now.]

Stay tuned for more details! And in the meantime... [HAVE AN 8x10-INCH PORTRAIT OF HIS FAMILY. Yes, that's all you can see. That's him in casual wear and with a big smile on his face, with an arm around a woman with short brown hair. She's carrying a young pigtailed girl, about two or three.] Have a look at my beautiful wife and my beautiful daughter! Doesn't Elysia look divine? Oh, it's as if she and Gracia were sent down from heaven to brighten up my life! I bet this picture was sent down from heaven too, don't you think? I still can't decide where to hang this up...I could put it close to my bed so that it'll be the first thing I see every morning, or over my work desk for that burst of inspiration... [Back to Hughes, just hugging that picture to his chest and spazzing and being completely un-serious now.]

I might be better helping people practice than teaching.

[Well, he's torn between being with his Elysia here or letting her stay home and safe. But he'll choose the latter.]

...

Four...I see. She just turned three when I...when I was brought here.

Do you still remember when you saw Elysia here? Was I...was I here too?

Yes! Doesn't her name ring such a cute little bell of sheer adorableness?

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
...

Were you also here when...she was here? I heard she was brought here in the past.

Thank you for the info...Ryou, is it?

It looks like classes will be everyday at 1 PM at the gym.

And, thank you! My family is my greatest treasure, more priceless than gold or silver or jewels! They are really lovely, aren't they? That's why I never miss an opportunity to capture their loveliness on film!

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Don't worry, the class will most probably be at 1 PM, at the high school gym.

And, throwing punches is a start, at least.

Yes, they do! Like that batch of cookies Gracia and Elysia made together...I can still taste the melting chocolate chips and the crunchy texture!

[Oh, here's your slice. Hughes sets it down on the table, with a fork.]

Anyway, let's get down to business.

Well, that's okay too, so long as they can learn a trick or two.

Um... [Thinking... thinking...]

I remember! You were here for a little bit, too.

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...that's good to hear. Even if I don't remember the last time I was here.

[identity profile] whiteduplicity.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the way family should be. If I were in your position, I'm sure I'd do the same!

Afu! For a nation, I am very very young.

Tricks, I can do.

Uh-huh! Did you forget too?

A lot of people forget...

[Well, you knowing about that makes things easier to explain.]

The first time we spoke, she decided to "adopt" me as her "grandpapa". Have you heard of your previous stay here, as well, Maes?

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
But of course! Why wouldn't you?

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
A...nation?

...wait. Edgeworth once mentioned the personification of a country...

So you're a country, in person form?

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really?

Dr. Yagokoro was the first one who told me. But I don't remember a thing myself.

[Voice]

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I sure did.

Sounds heavenly.

[A chuckle.]

Business over dessert? I could get used to this.

Oh, are those actually useful where you come from?

Afu! ((nod/yes/something that indicates that is a correct assumption.)) I am Afuganis-tan.
