[Daisy really likes it on his head, it seemed. Hope appeared on the screen with her resting on her belly on top of his silver hair, pom-pom bobbing as she tilted her head. She was light, so he didn't mind.]

Hello. My name is Hope Estheim.

I... er, I may know the answer to this already but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I'm looking for my family and also if anyone's magic is different from when they were at home. [He looked a little uncomfortable here mentioning this, but he didn't get the sense of any sort of anti-l'Cie dealings here and with people from other worlds entirely, he was almost certain that even if he did mention the name, no one would bat an eye.] I currently have healing magic and only healing magic. Back home, I was able to do more than heal. And I was also able to summon an Eidolon, a guardian of sorts. But he isn't answering anymore.

As for my family, if anyone has seen them or if they see this, please let me know? I'll type their names down below. It would be appreciated. Thank you.


[The video ends and as he said, he listed out everyone's full names that he was looking for.]

Bartholomew Estheim
Lightning Farron
Snow Villiers
Oerba Dia Vanille
Oerba Yun Fang
Sazh Katzroy

Daisy says I can probably get a job somewhere.

[He honestly has no idea. What jobs can a 14 year old get? There didn't seem to be a school around here either. He knew there was a place that provided free room and board though, according to Daisy. But that still didn't leave him with a way to get a change of clothes and extra food.

What would Lightning do? Probably get a job. But she was also an adult. Sigh.]

I don't know.

[good god he's turning into phoenix wright. but.]

My name is Miles Edgeworth. If I give you directions to a particular street and building, do you suppose you can follow them?

[distantfuture]

Yes, I think I can, Mr. Edgeworth but um, where would I be going?

[Be the Phoenix.]

[HE IS NOT GOING TO ADOPT A SMALL CHILD OKAY HE IS JUST.

FIGHTING INJUSTICE.

OR SOMETHING.

fuck's sake what a disaster]

To my office. I don't know that I have a permanent position available, but there are some errands I need run that I haven't the time to complete myself.

The job is yours, if you want it. Until you find something else.

[distantfuture]

[You and apparently several others, Edgeworth. Don't worry about it!

Besides, Hope was actually very surprised at the sudden job offer, even if it was just being an errand boy. Also, how long had this person been here that he already had an office that had errands to run?

Okay, he wasn't going to complain because honestly, it was better than nothing and it was also very nice of him to do. Like, incredibly nice. He kind of wanted to cry.]

Oh! Um, yes! I'll take it. Did you want me to go now or is there a specific time?

...What do you do?

[Tragically, the only things in his life are work and the Steel Samurai and this place is all outta the Steel Samurai, so he definitely found himself A Real Job™ as quickly as possible.]

I work in one of the rural courthouses on the outskirts of the city, arbitrating minor disputes.

If you want to begin today, you're welcome to. I have a document that needs the signatures of two particular farmers. All you need do is deliver it and have them sign it, then bring it back to me.

[distantfuture]

Sure, I'll go right now. Just send the directions on over and I'll be there as soon as possible.

Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth. This means a lot.

[jurisprudence]

Don't be too quick to thank me. The post will require a lot of walking, and your legs may regret it.

[distantfuture]

It’s all I’ve been doing the last few weeks, to be honest. I’ll be okay.

[He just hoped he didn’t have to fight any monsters.]
