068 [Locked to Edgeworth; Hackable]

[The following was meant to be posted privately, but was deleted on second thought to avoid hackers. :|]

I thought I’d be okay for another month, but like an idiot, I completely forgot about the hospital bill from July, and now I’m getting phone calls from a collection agency. On top of that, I’m past due on my rent, Maraich and Matthias are here, and I think I’m about to max out another credit card. Then, of course, there are the regular bills…

…I need to take more cases. I can’t keep doing this.

Hey, Edgeworth? What’s the word on the law committee?

Comments

[attorneyatlol]

And, of course, I haven't taken the time to look into any of those, right?

[samuraiprosecutor]

My argument wasn't that you hadn't, but that there would always be more ways in which you could prepare for your work on the committee--an argument that admittedly amounts to little more than semantics, yet you seem to be quite impassioned over it.

[attorneyatlol]

I'm 'impassioned' over being accused of unpreparedness and what amounts to poor work ethic. Or am I just supposed to take that in stride?

[samuraiprosecutor]

If the alternative is to harp on the issue after I've already explained my statements and conceded the point, perhaps so. Taking it in stride may be a less satisfying course of action, but in the end it would also be a more productive one.

[attorneyatlol]

I'm not harping, I'm just... tired of you constantly implying that I don't do any work. I'm unmotivated sometimes, sure, but that doesn't mean I don't do anything.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Wright, I'm well aware of your dedication, and I've accepted your explanation. If this continues to be an issue, I won't be the one perpetuating it.

[attorneyatlol]

Fine. I'm done.

...I'll look for your post.

[samuraiprosecutor]

You're sure?

I should be making it within the week...unless your new efforts prove fruitful and you suddenly find yourself with an overabundance of work, in which case I suppose I'll have to postpone it yet again.

[attorneyatlol]

I'll make time.

[samuraiprosecutor]

If you can. If you can't...it will be postponed.

[attorneyatlol]

I said I'll make time.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Of course.
