The doors we open and close each day

[lord_wizard]

Who: Felix Harrowgate, Geoffrey Chaucer, Miles Edgeworth & Vanyel Ashkevron
What: A dinner party and an attempt at matchmaking
When: Tonight
Where: Chimera HQ
Rating: PG-13, most likely

Felix idly wondered if life in Paradisa was beginning to be so utterly boring, that he'd found the time and motivation for this sort of thing. It wasn't entirely charity on his part, that was for certain. He liked both Miles and Vanyel, but honestly both of them needed to loosen up and since he was rather unavailable in that regard, he might as well shove them together and hope they'd discover an outlet to their mutual problems.

In the very least, it might be entertaining.

Of course, having a get together without Ashura was unusual, but his lover's sentimentality wasn't exactly what he needed in this situation. This was more...secondary seduction. Thus asking Geoffrey to assist.

Too bad he couldn't drug them, though some strong wine wasn't out of the question.

He'd had a table placed in the lobby of Chimera headquarters and laid it out with their meal. It was a little more impersonal than his own quarters, but ensured it wouldn't look amiss when he left for the evening, hopefully leaving Vanyel and Miles alone.

What happened then was out of his hands. Right now, he only had to wait.

To a degree. Revolutions have a history of working out in the people's favor rather than those that run the system.

[cantacquityou]

While that is true, it is usually with great difficulty. Obviously, those with power tend to be reluctant to renounce it in favour of the plebeian majority.

[lord_wizard]

But of course. There's comfort in power, but there's also great benefit in change. And for governments, change is a costly process. For individuals, less so.

[thetrudger]

[Geoff really could be paying attention. But instead, he's staring off into space, obviously thinking about something else.]

[peacockherald]

What are your thoughts, Geoff? Certainly your world has some experience with revolutions and such.

[thetrudger]

[Oh shit whoops. He jumps a little at that and looks between the men for a few seconds.]

Er... revolutions. Yes. Plenty of those.

[cantacquityou]

[He chuckles a bit.]



...What's on your mind, Geoff?

[thetrudger]

[He runs a hand through his hair.]

Nothing I feel like sharing. Do not let me sabotage the conversation, do continue.

[Don't kill him, Felix. He didn't mean to ruin the conversation.]

[cantacquityou]

[Edgeworth translates that as, 'Something is not all right,' and thinks it best to not push the issue.]


...Very well, then.

[lord_wizard]

Well, revolutions aren't the most edifying of topics, admittedly.

[cantacquityou]

...In any case, if our judicial system were to be revolutionized, I do believe that I know the very person capable of doing so single-handedly, being very much one of 'the people,' himself.

[lord_wizard]

Is this who I think it is?

[cantacquityou]

[He looks at him, his wine glass stopping before it reaches his lips.]


...Hm?

[lord_wizard]

The friend you talked to me about before? [There's a sidelong glance that says 'weren't we trying not to talk about him?']

[cantacquityou]

[Not exactly sure how to interpret that look, he pauses for a second or two before responding.]

...Yes. Actually, Geoff here knows him very well.

[peacockherald]

_{[Vanyel arches a brow, looking between the three, wondering who this mystery person was.]}

[lord_wizard]

Well, I invited you, not him. [Smirk]

Besides, I can't believe you'd have nothing to contribute in that respect, Miles. You're by far one of the more insightful people I've met here.

[cantacquityou]

Never did I say I had 'nothing' to contribute.

[lord_wizard]

[He chuckles] I stand corrected.

[cantacquityou]

...In any case, if judicial reform were to have a face, I would believe it to be his. I'd be far removed given that for one, I am a prosecutor, and two, my reputation is far too tarnished.

[lord_wizard]

Every face has a great mind guiding it, though they don't always belong to the same person.

[cantacquityou]

Would you care to elaborate?

[lord_wizard]

I was speaking only to the benefits of a team effort.

[cantacquityou]

...



...Of course.

_{[Van decides to step in here, in case these two go on forever.]}

Perhaps we should move on to dinner? The smells are making me salivate more than his strictly polite, I admit.
