Who: Miles Edgeworth, Geoffrey Chaucer, Phoenix Wright (And Veritas)
What: West Indian-themed dinner party. No ganja involved.
When: Saturday, March 3rd,
Where: Room 502, Miles Edgeworth's room
Rating: Spicy Somewhat safe. Let's hope it stays that way. Semi-casual.
 

Ever since Phoenix's unfortunate fall which incapacitated him for two weeks, Phoenix and Edgeworht had spontaneously developed a weekly (and at times, bi-weekly) pattern of having a themed dinner event, taking place in Edgeworth's room, in which all foods and decor would be based upon, or otherwise influecned by, a selected country or region. Tonight is Caribbean Night.

Edgewrth had only been to Jamaica once and totally not because he has a Jamaican mun and even then, was only there for a day. He enlisted the help of a few West Indian acquaintances, and wished up a grand number of food items. In order to reflect the multiethnic diversity of the English-speaking Caribbean countries, he requested foods common in the Anglo Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, St. Lucia, and others.

In due time, the castle's ghosts prepared a feast far surpassing the stomach capacity of three (or four) individuals. Upon a large, sand-sprinkled table littered with seashells, there lay three bowls of curried channa and potatoes, goat and shrimp; jerk chicken; slightly sweet fesitval with delicately spongy breaded insides; oxtail; rice and peas; a medium-sized bowl of piping, yellow dhal puree; three, large roti folded into quarters; ackee and saltfish; there was also a bowl of cut fruit including mangoes, otaheite apple, june plum, and others.

As for the condiments, there were three, small glass bowls with a spicy-sweet tamarind sauce, mango chutney, and guava jam. At the right side of the table, there were the beverages: Sorrel, with potent hints of ginger, Ting, and thick, soursop juice.

AND BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TYPE THIS  PARAGRAPH AGAIN DSAFLKJHSDFJKH 
The decor is as follows: Animated beach wallpaper to give the feel of actually being on a beach. Smells of the sea. Music playing in the background, including steel pans, reggae, soca, chutney music. A large, flat-screen television playing carnival scenes with flamboyantly costumed 'limers', sequined, scantily-clad beauties flailing around to soca music and large floats. Damn it.

Is that so? That sounds like a great deal of fun. You two get along so marvelously well. It is indeed a splendid sight.

i don't have a mean!laughing icon so w/e

[takethat]

[He just bursts into laughter about that; it's definitely hit a nerve, and his response is prickly at best.]

Really? Geoff--come on. We're always up against each other in court back home, and I think we've had enough arguments to float a ship since we got here.

[He's going to get whiplash with the way he's alternating attention between these two, but he looks back to Edgeworth.]

Am I right?

[cantacquityou]

...Hmph.

[thetrudger]

Do you know how many arguments I've gotten in since my arrival?

Even the best of friends argue. But you two have put up with each other despite all your differences, and your relationship has grown stronger because of that.

[takethat]

[Phoenix isn't going to respond to that, because he's still so grumpy about how Edgeworth has been treating him ever since the baseball game. Even though he knows that what Geoff says is true--or he hopes it is, at least--he can't bring himself to comment on it.

Instead, he follows what Edgeworth has been doing, and takes a bite of the roti with his hands.









And then promptly commences the coughing and sputtering.]

....spicy!

[cantacquityou]

[claps Phoenix on the back.]

[takethat]

[Once he's finished hacking on roti and guzzling some water, he nods.]


...thanks?





[Frown]

Geoff, I have to wonder if "putting up with" each other really counts for much in any friendship.

[cantacquityou]

[...Wishes up a glass of milk and hands it to him.]

[thetrudger]

You put up with me when I'm difficult, and I you.

I put up with Gwaine when he taunts me. I put up with Cole when he makes snarky comments. I put up with Felix when he completely baffles me. And we're all friends.

[takethat]

I don't much consider that "putting up with," though, where I'm concerned anyway. I'm happy to listen to you when you need to talk about something. It's no obligation or anything like that.

[He's also bursting with joy when he gets to help Edgeworth, but, you know. That's neither here nor there... because he doesn't want it to be.]

[thetrudger]

Then you must feel the same way with Miles.

[End of discussion. He wins. He picks something up and takes a tiny little bite. His game needs to continue. D:<]

I'm guessing that there are no virgins in this room, true or false?

[takethat]

[He falters for a moment at that... incredibly abrupt change of subjects... but keeps playing along anyhow.]

Er, true for me. Definitely not a virgin.

[this is me not seeming interested at all in Edgeworth's response]

[cantacquityou]

?!


What a brazen-...!

What relevance is there to this conversation?

[thetrudger]

[Geoff laughs heartily, glancing over at Miles.]

I beg your pardon. Did I offend? It was not my intention to bring a rosy blush to that face of yours, I only meant to continue our game. I am a rather crude man.

[cantacquityou]

...Indeed.

[thetrudger]

That is all you have to say, Miles? Why, I thought we were friends.

Very well, then. I shall assume that you are a virgin and carry on with the game.

[cantacquityou]

[He rests his chin in his palm.

...After a bit of silence, he holds up three fingers.]

[takethat]

...you do realize that could mean anything in this context, don't you?

[cantacquityou]

...Make what you will of it.

[thetrudger]

[The side of his mouth quirks up.]

I believe the meaning was quite clear. Bravo, dear man.

[takethat]

[Phoenix, on the other hand, is all frowns.]

Whose side are you on, anyway, Geoff?

[cantacquityou]

[mutters under breath]





...I would hardly call my past lovers an, 'accomplishment.'

[thetrudger]

Huh? Side, what side? I'm proud of you, too, Phoenix.

[To Miles.] That bad, then?

[cantacquityou]

...Somewhat.

[takethat]

Don't expect any juicy stories out of him, Geoff.

[Giving Edgeworth A Look.]
