002 ♔ accidental video

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[Miles Edgeworth's bracelet just switched itself on, but he's so focused on what he's writing right now that he won't notice till later (he just left it on his bedside table; clearly he has no intention of talking to anyone today). Perhaps the gods were still sore about how he had challenged their authority and their very existence on the first day, telling everyone that he wouldn't believe a single thing until he had cold hard evidence? 

In any case, you now have a lovely view of him writing in his organizer, with several books and pens and even pieces of paper on his table. Within reach is a steaming cup of tea (from a teabag, sob. Where were the exquisite tea leaves and exotic blends? Actually, they will have to wait until he has gathered enough money; without any law-related jobs in Asgard, he has settled for a job at the library in Odin District since he's a frequent face at that place anyway). One of the books is open in front of him.

His forehead is furrowed as he scans the open book and his eyes are narrowed; Miles is seriously just trying to lose himself in his work. Everyone else can have their happy holidays and their Christmas and their fun in the snow; he would rather stay inside and try not to think about those. Besides, it was cold, and...man, it's just cold. The prosecutor reaches for his cup of tea.

The moment he touches it, frost forms on the ceramic, white rays spreading out to coat the entire cup in ice. He gasps, and just manages to quickly put the cup back on its saucer with a loud clink. If he had lost his composure, he would have dropped it (and spilled tea all over his stuff NOOOOO). For a long moment he just stares at the frozen cup in shock; did he seriously just do what he thought he did? Also, his tea was going to get really cold now.

Could he do it again?

He places his fingers on a pen but doesn't pick it up from the table. Miles fills his mind with thoughts of cold and ice and snow - and soon the pen looks like something that had been left in the freezer. Breathing hard, he examines it, turning it over and over gingerly, blocking those thoughts of cold from his head this time.

That was a yes. The gift the gods had given him was ice magic. 

When he puts down the pen and turns his head toward his bedside table, he realizes that the bracelet has been recording. He quickly stands up from his desk, strides over to his bracelet and switches it off with an irritated look.

Thanks, he wasn't planning on showing up on the network today.]

[Hey, you may be horrified, but Rider is impressed! And he even claps a bit to express that.]

Hou, ice? How impressive, my friend! It seems that you have been gifted with some rather season-appropriate magic! [he laughs at his own comment]

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[HE'S NOT USED TO THIS OKAY? It's different and weird and NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS WITH A CORE TEMPERATURE OF 37 DEGREES CELSIUS CAN'T PRODUCE ICE.]

...T-thank you. [Rider's right, though. Best time to learn ice magic.]

[voice]

[takebow]

[Heh. Kinda funny, Edgeworth-san.]

...Looks like someone found out their power, huh?

[voice]

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[MISS TAKEBA MY BRACELET ACTED FUNNY.]

...Indeed. [He did it twice, there was no other explanation for it.]

[Yuri smiles faintly.] Well done. You seem to be learning the rudiments of control already.

My own power is fire.

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[By now he has calmed down a bit. And yes, he's glad his power didn't go out of control asldfjasd that would've been crazy.]

Thank you, Judge Petrov. When did you discover your power?

[geminidol.livejournal.com]

Hey, Smiles! Is that your power? Do it again, do it again!

le video

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[NOT AGAIN. ALSO HE'LL DO IT AGAIN WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING.]

Please don't call me "Smiles".

[solidad]

Ah, ice.

[ that's new. She hasn't seen this power in anyone else. Recalling their previous conversation, she isn't surprised. Maybe his personality had something to do with it. ]

...you should make a new cup, don't you think?

video

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

I will defrost the cup I have...frozen...and will find another one, yes.

[functionals.livejournal.com]

So one more in the Odin house has powers over ice.

[Sherlock seems to not show much reaction either. He's starting to get used to his own ice powers.]

These will be useful later on, I presume. I wonder who else has this ability?

video

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

I take it you also have the same?

[He agrees about the power being useful in the future, definitely.]

[video]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Powers? Pssh. Conan's more interested by your notes.]

Research, Ojisan?

[video]

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[He nods. Oh good, can we move away from the power topic for a while?

...Ojisan? This kid must be Japanese or something.]

A colleague and I are working on a possible legal system for Asgard.

[8rutal.livejournal.com]

[ ... that's actually kinda neat. It reminds her of Sam's display not too long ago. ]

Ice powers, huh? Not bad, Mr. Investigator. Or would you prefer Mr. Edgeworth?

[ ... what a stalker. ]

[video]

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

...I would prefer "Mr. Edgeworth", thank you.

[He's already given his name out on the network anyway, she must have picked it up.]

video

[stayinghere.livejournal.com]

Ah, the man from the Library. Pretty impressive new tool you have.

video

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

Thank you...although I believe there may be more to learn.

[video]

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Wow... I didn't know people could do that... was it an accident?

[She would've flipped right the hell out if she'd done it, so reading his comparatively subdued reaction is difficult for her.]

[video]

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

It was, at first.

And back home, I never would have done anything like this. [Seriously.]

[manskirt.livejournal.com]

[ watching magic happen like that does give him a strange thrill. that it can be about joy, curiosity, possibility--not fear, self-loathing, hatred, despair, countless other darker feelings that all lead to destruction, not just self-destruction, either. ]

It's...magical, isn't it?

voice;

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

...One might say that, yes. [Giving magic to the guy who doesn't believe in magic is TOTALLY the best idea.]

video

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

[This is the widest grin in the history of grins. If he could widen his eyes in wonder, he would- too bad they're pretty stationary, being clocks and all.]

That was amazing.

video

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[WHY ARE YOUR EYES CLOCKS WHY...Asgard really brings in all kinds, doesn't it. HE WONDERS IF YOU CAN SEE.]

Ah, thank you. I'm...glad you think so.

video;

[whipmyaer.livejournal.com]

Your first time doing that, huh? [No, she doesn't seem surprised or amazed in the slightest. Just curious.]

video;

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

Yes. My first time, and my second. [First was the accident. Second was on purpose.]

video;

[studere.livejournal.com]

Very impressive! [ Okay, not really, but she didn't know humans could even do magi-

Oh. Right. Gods. Never mind. ]

video;

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[He manages a small, proud smile. Okay, he can do this.]

...Thank you, but there may still be more for me to learn.

video

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

Wooooooah! [yep, there as an apple bloom face really really close to the video screen]

video

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[OHAI. It's you.]

Yes, it was rather surprising, but...at least I'm now aware of my ability.

[He's going to handle things so carefully for the next few days as if he's got the ice equivalent of the Midas touch.]

[Video]

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

You're a natural.

[Video]

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

...You think so? I've never done anything like this until today.

[ What ]

[ What ]

What...?

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

Odin grants his chosen travelers either fire or ice magic.

He has given me ice magic.

[blessedthy]

[You caught his interest.] Hm.

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

What is it? [Is "hm" all you can say ABOUT SOMEONE WHO JUST FROZE A TEACUP AND A PEN?]

video;

[glimmerofpain.livejournal.com]

[Rosemariné is fairly sure he recognizes this man from his own house, and has to admit that he's curious about Odin's powers.]

Very impressive, but I don't think your tea will be particularly good like that.

[...he also can't help but think that Jules would be extremely amused by that kind of parlor trick.]

video;

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[Right back at'cha, fabulous Odin bro.]

Thank you; yes, I will need another cup. [BUT THIS PARLOR TRICK RUINS TEA.]
