Larry frowns intensely, so intensely that his look of concentration - the pouting lips, the narrowed eyes, the flaring nostrils - ends up looking more comical than anything.]
A hospital? I remember the room with music, a lot of smoke...and then I dropped outta the TV.
[ Heh. And now he knows this man's name without having to give his own. ]
Hmph. Well done. But a man possessing only half his memory is still a half-wit. [ And here he shakes his head in mock sorrow, the effect ruined by his smirk. ] They always said that the small screen would turn coming generations into dullards. Here is the proof.
[ Blackquill, please. You're younger than this guy. ]
For your [Larry points at Blackquill, although he doesn't fully extend his arm or jab the prosecutor in the chest. This guy should probably not be provoked.] information, I'm an artist! My mind is creative, not dull!
[Larry, "Nick", and "Edgey" are all responsible factors in Manfred's incarceration and fall from perfection. He hates all of them with great vigor, but Larry may have to be the one he hates the least. Not that that really helps much.]
And why do you care? You were just a petty witness who couldn't even remember the truth.
[Manfred is not displaying the most maturity here, despite his need for perfection. But perfection is not necessarily maturity. Especially when Larry will always and forevermore be less mature than Manfred.
(But it's not fair. It's not fair that Larry's testimony proved so crucial.)]
I just did talk about them. And I will continue to talk about them as long as they continue to ruin me!
But we will if you do anything funny here! [It's only then that he realizes how dangerous it is to be confronting this man in a place overrun with monsters...and where he doesn't even know how to find the police station.]
I got here yesterday. I...uh, fell out of the TV. [That last part is tacked on hastily, almost as if he is convincing himself that if things like that could happen, then Edgeworth looking strange should not be surprising.
[Don't you mean Edgeworth looking stranger than usual? He's never been one to fit in.]
[Edgeworth can only cock an eyebrow and stare at Larry.] You fell out of a TV. [He repeats it slowly and deliberately, as if asking Larry to listen very carefully to the words that just came out of his mouth.]
Yeah...well...I'm not the only one looking like...like I'm at a Halloween party!
[Battle of the strange.]
I was in this room, and then suddenly it got dark, and then I fell out! [He gestures with his hands full of art supplies to mime the movement of falling.] Just like that!
[Larry is making even less sense than usual. Grimacing, Edgeworth rubs the bridge of his nose and does his best not to bristle at the casual insult. The strangeness of that story is more than enough for him to focus on.]
Out of a TV. Do you have any idea where the room was? [Perhaps he fell through an electronic store's display window. Or a stage prop. Or a puppet theater dressed to look like a TV.]

Date: 2015-08-29 10:16 am (UTC)[ This guy is amazing, Blackquill thinks; he derails the conversation all on his own. ]
Funny, I could say the same thing alskjdafs
Date: 2015-09-20 01:59 pm (UTC)Manfred
Date: 2015-08-17 02:39 pm (UTC)...I-I dunno, but...
[Larry bites his lip and he clenches his fists. He almost wants to just punch Manfred in the face. Almost.]
We'll figure something out! Me, and Nick, and Edgey...we're all here!

The truth is that Gregory Edgeworth and his spawn deserve death for what they did to me!
