[usedreturn]

Hello there, Johto. How are you all doing?

[He wears a smile, calm and cheerful. But beneath that oh-so-thin layer of calm friendliness, there was a strange spark to his eyes, a smoldering flame ignited within by some unknown catalyst. Emotion invoked by something he could not, would not stand for.]

[This one Doctor--who had seen the death of civilizations and the end of the universe, witnessed the genocide of the Daleks and rewritten the decimation of the human race...this man whose true name existed only in the stars of the Medusa Cascade--was angry.]

I'm looking for a lovely young woman called Dahlia.

[And the fury of a Time Lord was not to be taken lightly.]

Video to Chrome added later:

Chrome, I'm sorry, but I have to go. There's something I need to take care of. If I manage it, I'll see you a bit further on down the road. If I don't...well, I'll deal with that when it happens.

I hope you're going to kill her.

Kill her? Oh, nononono. I don't kill, maim, wound, or injure.

There's much worse one can do, you know.

[foolishwren]

Whatever. Make her pay.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

First I have to be sure no one tries to hurt her in revenge. Then I'll handle things.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know. I'd rather not accuse without some kind of basis in fact, either.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

It's really close together to be...



No, you're right. Still...

It's insult to injury...

[Video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I don't know this Dahlia, but all I'm concerned with now is getting her out of the line of fire from anyone looking for revenge.

...No, two things. Then we'll deal with her rationally. Legally. Hand her over to the human authorities here.

[dragonspeak]

I think [He swallows harshly here to calm himself down] there are many people who would like to have words with her at the moment.

[Video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I would have to agree with you. But I'd rather stop this before the violence escalates further.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Then you should know this isn't the first time she's harmed Phoenix. She tried to have him accused of murder back in their own world.

[Apollo, by contrast, just sounds upset. He's more worried about Phoenix than angry at Dahlia...so far.]

What're you going to do?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I'm going to do what's right and hand her in to the proper human authorities.

[It's kiiiind of hard for the Doctor to remember he's not dealing with a huge invading alien force like he usually would.]

That's normal, right?

[audio]

[justicepuns.livejournal.com]

It won't work.

[smilegonnakillu.livejournal.com]

[She's expecting this, especially with Phoenix's post. And there's not reason to use her little alias "Melissa" because people already know what she looks like. So she offers the Doctor a confused sort of look that is just oozing with innocence.]

Is there something I can help you with, sir?

[Video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Why yes. Hello there, how're you?

[His tone was light, and he looked past Dahlia to the background--if he could pinpoint where she was, he could get there first before anyone with bloody revenge on their mind.]

[Video]

[smilegonnakillu.livejournal.com]

I'm doing very well, thank you. Is there something you wanted to speak to me about, since you asked specifically for me?

[He might notice the early signs of route 32 in the background. After the poisoning, she made her way back to Violet and left immediately toward the next city. Going toward Cherrygove wouldn't help her at all.]

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

[There's something else in Shelly's usually casual-to-the-point-of-being-impersonal tone today. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it might be, though.]

What do you intend to do, Doctor?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Well first, I'm going to stop anyone else from getting some kind of messy eye-for-an-eye revenge.

Then I'm going to find her.

I haven't really planned past that.

[VOICE FOREVER]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... Well, I would advise you to devise a plan before you do anything, but... I suppose you may prefer to do it your way.

[pineapplet.livejournal.com]

Doctor...

[She's quiet a moment, before she sets her expression and nods once] Please do what you have to do, and do your best.

...And be careful, please.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I'm always careful. [Except when he's not.]

Don't worry. I'll stay in touch.

[It takes Edgeworth around 20 hours or so to reply to this. Crazy lag? Definitely. He'd attempted to collect his thoughts and calm down as not to bawl in front of his friends, and he's also been training non-stop all day (to the glee of his Pokémon, as the bootcamp distracted them from worrying about Phoenix too). So when he responds to the Doctor's post, he looks tired, with dirt and small cuts on his cheek.

And he also looks wary, though there's a warning glint in his eyes. Everyone was looking for Dahlia...]

...Is this for some kind of revenge? If it is, I'll stop you. Nothing justifies murder.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[By the time the Doctor answers, it's with the background going by quite fast, video jostling about quite a bit, and a rather large smile on his face.]

Oh, I like you. More people should be like you, it'd be lovely.

[video]

[miniworth]

...People like me? What do you mean?

[Have a dubious stare, Doctor.]
