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.~~

[Grinning. So. Hard.]

[Hey what no. Geoff grabs him by the shirt before he can get far.]

Phoenix! Where are you going?

[Reaches over and grabs Phoenix's forearm.]

Yes, you've hardly touched that plate of yours.

[What no why is he being manhandled--oh well at least we're not talking about sex anymore]

I can't eat this spicy food, it's terrible for my stomach!

Oh dear. Would you like for me to rub that little tummy of yours and make it all better? [Stops short of calling him, 'Feenie,' again.]

[Gives Phoenix a look, a little knowing and a little apologetic.]

You can always wish up different food, my friend.

[Then gives Miles a disapproving look.]

[Forget "disapproving," he's completely glaring at Edgeworth.]

You're the one who fed me this stuff to begin with! You're right, Geoff. I should just wish up a nice chicken sandwich and be done with it.

...Or, it might be a good idea to try more than one thing rather than judging the entire table...

Everything smells spicy.

Well, that would be appropriate, seeing as though almost everything has some manner of 'spice.' There is cumin, tumeric, nutmeg...

[Tries to usher them back to the table.]

Now, if it's too spicy, it's too spicy. Go ahead, Phoenix.

Have I ever told you two all the jobs I've held?

[Yes, he is changing the subject.]

[Edgeworth sighs. Oh, Phoenix, you wimp. He then begins to munch on some of the fruit in the bowl. At least that's not spicy.]

...I suppose I was simply doomed to be the only one to share embarrassing sexual exploits. Carry on.

Dahlia only ever did it with me once because she said I was terrible!

[This he blurts out desperately... in the hopes of not returning to the subject of Edgeworth's sex life.]

Oh, that's just wonderful. [Time for some of that rum punch.]

[...What? Geoff just kind of stares at this wild blurt, then after a bit, he pats him on the arm.]

You haven't had much experience. You'll get better. And maybe it was her, not you.

[Torn between making another mad dash for the exit and hugging Geoff for helping him save a little face, he frowns...]

She was definitely a crazy person who didn't really like me at all and was just pretending to...

[~~so pathetic~~]

Wright. You don't have to get into details.

You certainly do not, if you do not wish to, neither of you do. I did not mean to be so forceful in my teasing, if that is the cause of your distress.

[Moves his head to the side and looks at Phoenix with a perplexed expression.]

You're a handsome young man. You have plenty of time and opportunity. And you have two supportive friends.

[Gives Miles a look.]

[Looks back a Geoff...a bit confused.]

Ah, yes! Indeed. You are quite the strapping fellow, and you have... both of us. As friends.
...And many more, don't forget that.

["Strapping"?? Now he just feels stupid.]

Y-yeah... I know... I'm not that worried about it...

...it's not like I'm in the market for a sex buddy here at Paradisa.

Really? Have you been occupied without my knowing?

I'm not concerned with being "occupied."

...is that to say you plan to remain single and sexless during your time here?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think most people worry about their sex lives while they're here--with a few exceptions, of course.

I really would not put it past most people here.
