[ ... ]

Freddie is from Uranus. [ a beat. ] I think I'll just see if they can Port me out for another week, actually.

[Haha...no. No. Unacceptable. Don't even.]

And Chilton is the god of sleep and dreams. That's what you missed.

[As well as Hannibal's communicator getting dropped in the lap of some dude named Joestar but HANNIBAL RUINS OTHERWISE OKAY CONVERSATIONS, NOT GOING THERE.]

[ she groans. ]

Is he still the god of sleep and dreams? If so I'm staying with you and April until he's not.

[ she of horrific nightmares is not living with that ok ok. ]

[Take the boy out of law enforcement, see if that ruins his memory of procedure. No, no scolding, not from Will Graham. He has no legs to stand on with that.]

That's good to hear. [The polite thing to say, certainly, but there's an edge to it that is, yes, concern. Not just going through an etiquette book and pulling out what responses suit the best.] I can't. Speak to him testing the character of every non-sinner he comes across. It could be argued he attempted to test mine when we spoke... [Will doesn't seem to care that he was provoked by a serial killer, he's just using an example. There is absolutely no personal feelings on what Lunatic said seeping into his tone.] ...it's difficult to say. He [could have found you of interest] could have just...wanted to gloat and taunt, and you were there.

[After seeing Abigail Hobbs plagued by the idea that she had made her father do what he'd done, her repeated talks of attracting serial killers, Will's own issues with the matter, he finds it important to note that no matter what was said, no matter what happened—it's not on Edgeworth. It's not on anyone, what a serial killer might do, even if that doesn't result in death. No one deserves that guilt, and people are so inclined to take it on themselves. He had surprised Hannibal when he refused to be angry at himself over a certain Ripper murder.

Will is not going to feed into that line of thinking if he can help it, not with friend or foe.]

He probably is.

[Will sounds extremely unperturbed by the situation at hand. He's had his time to deal with it, now is the hour of that glorious freedom in the stages of grief known as acceptance.]

You...don't want to stay with someone your own age?

It's possible, but-

[He makes a frustrated noise, trying to find the right words, but not quite being able to]

...when we spoke, he dared me. He dared me to - [Kill him] - take care of him myself. But when I refused, he said it was... good. That it meant that I didn't belong to Thanatos.

[Where is he going with this? Edgeworth runs his free hand through his hair. He doesn't know himself anymore.]

Yeah, he wants me to help him be a god again, or whatever.

I was going to just lock him in his apartment without any sharp objects.

The only people I would want to stay with would be Stiles and Derek and I'm not sure that would go over too well.

[ with other people. well, a person. abigail has been trying to be considerate, even if she misses the peace of mind snuggle cuddling with stiles gives her. ]

Plus, April is around my age.

[ :D ]

[no drugging :c]

Can you do that in a way he wouldn't be able to escape at all? I don't want him to try, say, climbing out the window and end up hurt.

[Someone who is actually concerned for Chilton's safety, that's Will Graham.]

[WHY]

I...have my own room in the house, but I. Always stay in April's. [because sex] So you could have that bed and. Space. There's not much in there.

[Other than a desk set up for him to make lures, but he can shove all that off to the side before she gets there.]

Yeah, I can do that.

Okay. [ there's a little bit of laughter in her tone. will, please. she would sleep on the couch. she would sleep on the floor, really. gunther could be her pillow. ] All I need is a pillow and a blanket.

[It's all good, Edgeworth. Will's used to conversations that go 4,500 places other than where they might have originally meant to go. That's like his bread and butter.

Same as having to deal with serial killers saying shit that bugs him long after, so.]

And now you can't stop thinking about what he said more than anything he physically did to you. [Projects Will's own experience and issues all over the place, no big deal. Where's Peter, he misses Peter. He could do that 24/7 with Peter. He needs Peter.] That about right?

Don't see why not, in that case.

[Assuming he means some sort of power instead of, say, wrapping him up in a straitjacket and locking him in the closet. Not that...it would be bad...hair of the dog...and all...]

I'd intended to already have something done with him at this point, but those plans fell through. Do you need any help?

[Tenses a bit, not expecting Graham to see through him so quickly. Then again, he is a profiler...]

That's- [Shifts uncomfortably, leaning against the counter] - that's correct.

[Another deep breath]

That's not the only thing he said, though.

[Yes, power.]

I think I can manage. He wants my help anyhow, so me going over isn't going to be a thing.

You don't know why this happened, do you? He was sane last week.

[No. He doesn't know what Hannibal had for her as a bed but the only one who will be sleeping on dogs or raccoons or the floor or the couch or anything not a bed is Will Graham, Goddamnit. Abigail deserves much more than she's had to deal with, let him spoil her!]

I'll get that set up. [Change the sheets, they need it.] When should we expect you?

[Better believe that Abigail is going to be hugged like there ain't no tomorrow whenever that is, yes.]

I dunno, I want to check on Stiles first.

[ sorry, will, stiles is more important to abigail than abigail is to abigail.

she had very few pressing things to get to when she got back. will (and april), freddie (which will covered), stiles, jayden, mary (and john). only one of them is really pressing, too, because she didn't get a chance to see how stiles was before ~poof.

she is still kind of a bad friend. it's a work in progress. ]

Does Freddie still think she's a space... whatever or it is safe to text her?

[Sigh.]

You know Freddie Lounds, right? She and I were taking care of some business out of town when he called her with this god talk, so we decided to cut business short. We went to De Chima. I could get back to Heropa quicker that way instead of driving straight to Florida. We weren't out of the car long at all before she got struck by lightning. It was out of nowhere, and she was physically fine after. But I wasn't going to leave her there, and she spent the rest of the car ride to Heropa talking about how she was from some city on Uranus and the history of that city being destroyed. It was very similar to how Dr. Chilton's been convinced of his godhood.

[So there's that.]

[Yes, assume it's the profiler thing instead of Will having similar issues, good. Something something design goes here. The quiet design few see coming.]

I'm listening, if you want to go on.

[But you don't have to. He doesn't, not at all. Still, if Edgeworth needs to unburden, talk to someone who's never hidden that they've dealt with the deranged and murderous, here he is! This isn't that bad, even without his handlers around in case he screws it up. He's...not screwing it up, so far. Or so it feels like he's doing okay. Score one Graham.]

Yeah, I know Freddie.

Struck by lightning? So...you're saying that Chilton was, too?

[It's okay, Will talked about using truth serum with god Chilton, she can be a kind of bad friend with the rest of them who are also kind of bad at...well, a lot of things.]

I...wouldn't advise it. Freddie's probably still. Off. Unless you want a conversation with her Uranian self, that is.

I don't know. We were in Minnesota when he called.

[Only his conversation with Mary makes more sense now. A lot more sense.]

I heard about someone else who was struck by lightning and wasn't quite the same after, but I didn't get the full scoop on how off they were. I'm just guessing. Dr. Chilton would never act like this on his own.

He said-

["You could be... just like me"]

-my name. [Spoken quickly, as if running from Lunatic's accusation] He acted like... he knew me. And I have no idea if he actually does, or if he simply wanted to rattle me.

[Speaking naturally, now, if a bit tense. The familiarity bothered him as well, though not as much as everything else he said]

Edited 2015-01-26 02:08 (UTC)

Um. No. I'll wait until she's normal again.

[ she huffs. she doesn't want to wait until freddie is normal. she wants her family. THAT'S IT. WEEKLY FAMILY DINNERS ARE GOING TO BE OBLIGATORY. fuck this noise. ]

I'll call her tomorrow. Uh, question, though.
